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

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 8.01 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 8.01.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date of (or, in the case of an ABR Borrowing, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of) any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(b) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the applicable Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the Loans comprising such Borrowing at such time and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.05 Evidence of Debt.

(a) Maintenance of Records by Banks. Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Bank resulting from each Loan made by such Bank, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time hereunder.

(b) Maintenance of Records by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Bank hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Banks and each Bank’s share thereof.

(c) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to Section 2.05(a) or (b) shall, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Bank or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Promissory Notes. Any Bank may request that Loans made by it to a Borrower be evidenced by a single promissory note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto. In such event, such Borrower shall promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Bank a promissory note payable to such Bank (or, if requested by such Bank, to such Bank and its registered assigns) and in such form. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.06(d)) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.06 Maturity of Loans. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay the full principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made to such Borrower, which shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable (together with the interest accrued thereon) on the Termination Date.

Section 2.07 Interest.

(a) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each Term Benchmark Borrowing shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Each RFR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Margin.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at the Default Rate.

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

(f) Interest computed by reference to the Term SOFR Rate, the Alternate Base Rate (except when based on the Prime Rate) and Daily Simple SOFR hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days. Interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate only at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). In each case interest shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All interest hereunder on any Loan shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Loan as of the applicable date of determination. A determination of the applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, Term SOFR Rate, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.08 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fees. PFI shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Bank from the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the fifteenth day following the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay the following fees and other amounts with respect to the Letters of Credit issued on behalf of such Borrower:

(i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a Letter of Credit fee with respect to each outstanding Letter of Credit, which shall accrue at the Letter of Credit Fee Rate on the average daily amount of such Bank’s L/C Obligations (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Unreimbursed Amounts) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Bank’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Bank ceases to have any L/C Obligations;

(ii) to each Fronting L/C Issuer a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon in writing between the applicable Borrower and such Fronting L/C Issuer on the average daily amount of the L/C Obligations (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Unreimbursed Amounts) with respect to Fronted Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting L/C Issuer during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any L/C Obligations; and

(iii) to the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard and reasonable costs and charges, of such Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable relating to each Letter of Credit as from time to time in effect.

Letter of Credit fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the fifteenth day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees and amounts payable to the Fronting L/C Issuers and/or the Several L/C Agent pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 Business Days after demand.

(c) Administrative Agent Fees. PFI agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between PFI and the Administrative Agent.

(d) Nonrefundable Fees. Fees payable pursuant to this Section shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.09 Termination, Reduction or Increase of Commitments.

(a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date.

(b) Optional Termination or Reduction. PFI may at any time, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) terminate the Commitments in full at any time, so long as no Revolving Credit Exposures are outstanding at such time, or (ii) reduce the Commitments from time to time by an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, so long as, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, (A) any Bank’s Revolving Credit Exposure would not exceed its Commitment or (b) the aggregate amount of the Commitments as so reduced shall not be less than the total Revolving Credit Exposures then outstanding. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Banks of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by PFI pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by PFI may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by PFI (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(c) Termination Upon PICA Sale. If PFI has notified the Administrative Agent of a proposed sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of PICA’s assets to another Person in accordance with Section 5.07(b)(iv), the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify each Bank of such notice by PFI, and the Commitments shall terminate, and the Loans (together with accrued interest thereon) shall become due and payable, on the earlier of (i) the 90th day following PFI’s delivery of such notice and (ii) the consummation of such sale, lease or other transfer, unless, prior thereto, each of the Banks shall have notified the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify PFI) that such Bank, in its sole discretion, expressly elects not to terminate its Commitment. Each Bank agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Administrative Agent within 30 days after its receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent as to whether such Bank, in its sole discretion, elects not to terminate its Commitment.

(d) Increase in Commitments.

(i) Requests for Increase by PFI. PFI may, at any time by notice to the Administrative Agent, propose an increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments hereunder (each such proposed increase being a “Commitment Increase”), either by having a Bank increase its Commitment then in effect (each an “Increasing Bank”) or by adding as a Bank with a new Commitment hereunder a Person which is not then a Bank (each an “Assuming Bank”), in each case with the approval of the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that each Assuming Bank shall be a NAIC Approved Bank or any other Person which shall have in effect a Confirming Bank Agreement or Limited Fronting Bank Agreement, in each case, with a Person or Bank, as applicable, which is a NAIC Approved Bank. Such notice shall specify the name of each Increasing Bank and/or Assuming Bank, as applicable, the amount of the Commitment Increase and the portion thereof being assumed by each such Increasing Bank or Assuming Bank, and the date on which such increase is to be effective (the “Commitment Increase Date”) (which shall be a Business Day at least three Business Days after delivery of such notice and prior to the Termination Date); provided that:

(A) the minimum amount of the Commitment of any Assuming Bank or of the increase in the Commitment of any Increasing Bank as part of such Commitment Increase shall be $10,000,000;

(B) immediately after giving effect to any Commitment Increase, the total Commitments hereunder shall not exceed $5,000,000,000;

(C) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the relevant Commitment Increase Date or shall result from any Commitment Increase; and

(D) the representations and warranties contained in Article 4 shall be true on and as of the Commitment Increase Date as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation and warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Bank shall have any obligation hereunder to increase its Commitment hereunder and any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of each Bank.

(ii) Effectiveness of Commitment Increase PFI. Each Commitment Increase (and the increase of the Commitment of each Increasing Bank and/or the new Commitment of each Assuming Bank, as applicable, resulting therefrom) shall become effective as of the Commitment Increase Date; provided that:

(A) the Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date a certificate of a duly authorized officer of PFI stating that each of the applicable conditions to such Commitment Increase set forth in Section 2.09(d)(i) has been satisfied;

(B) with respect to each Assuming Bank, the Administrative Agent shall have received, on or prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date, an appropriate Assumption Agreement, duly executed by such Assuming Bank and each Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent; and

(C) each Increasing Bank shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date, confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to its increased Commitment, with a copy of such confirmation to PFI.

(iii) Recordation into Register. Upon its receipt of confirmation from a Bank that it is increasing its Commitment hereunder, together with the certificate referred to in Section 2.09(d)(ii)(A), the Administrative Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice thereof to PFI. Upon its receipt of an Assumption Agreement executed by an Assuming Bank, together with the certificate referred to in Section 2.09(d)(ii)(A), the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assumption Agreement has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent, accept such Assumption Agreement, record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice thereof to PFI.

(iv) Adjustments of Borrowings upon Effectiveness of Increase. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from PFI as to any agreement with respect to a Commitment Increase on or prior to the relevant Commitment Increase Date and the actions provided for in Section 2.09(d)(ii) shall have occurred by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Banks (including any Assuming Banks) of the occurrence of such Commitment Increase Date promptly on such date by facsimile transmission or electronic messaging system. On the date of such Commitment Increase, if (i) any Revolving Credit Loans shall be outstanding and (ii) either (x) such Commitment Increase shall not be provided by the then existing Banks pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments or (y) any part of such Commitment Increase shall be provided by an Assuming Bank, the Borrowers shall (A) prepay the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (if any) in full, (B) if the Borrowers shall have so requested in accordance with this Agreement, borrow new Revolving Credit Loans hereunder in an amount equal to such prepayment, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Credit Loans are held ratably by the Banks in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Banks (after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) and (C) pay to the Banks the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.13.

Section 2.10 Method of Electing Interest Rates.

(a) The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified by the applicable Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, such Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by a Loan (subject in each case to the provisions of Article 8), as follows:

(i) if such Loan is an ABR Loan, such Borrower may elect to convert such Loan to a Term Benchmark Loan as of any Business Day; and

(ii) if such Loan is a Term Benchmark Loan, such Borrower may elect to convert such Loan to an ABR Loan or elect to continue such Loan as a Term Benchmark Loan for an additional Interest Period, in each case effective on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loan.

Each such election shall be made by the applicable Borrower delivering an irrevocable notice in writing (which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, electronic communication (including e-mail) in accordance with Section 9.02(b)) in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”) to the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of a Loan; provided that (i) in the case of an election with respect to more than one Loan, such portion is allocated ratably among such Loans and (ii) the portion to which such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each $25,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000.

(b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

(i) the Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

(ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of Section 2.10(a);

(iii) if such Loans are to be converted, the new type of Loans and, if such new Loans are Term Benchmark Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto; and

(iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Term Benchmark Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period. In no event shall any Borrower be permitted to request pursuant to this Section 2.10 prior to a Benchmark Transition Event and Benchmark Replacement Date with respect to the Term SOFR Rate, an RFR Loan bearing interest based on Daily Simple SOFR (it being understood and agreed that Daily Simple SOFR shall only apply to the extent provided in Sections 8.01(a) and 8.01(f)), as applicable.

(c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10(a), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by such Borrower. If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Election to the Administrative Agent with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be deemed to have an Interest Period that is one (1) month.

(d) Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section shall not be construed to permit the Borrower to convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available under such Borrowing.

Section 2.11 Optional Prepayments.

(a) Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing made to such Borrower in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

(b) The applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail (or by an Approved Borrower Portal, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Administrative Agent)) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of a prepayment of an RFR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, five Business Days before the date of prepayment; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Banks of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Credit Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.01. Each prepayment of a Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.07, together with any additional amounts required by Section 2.13.

Section 2.12 General Provisions as to Payments.

(a) The Borrowers shall unconditionally make each payment and prepayment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees hereunder, not later than, 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due or the date fixed for any prepayment hereunder, in immediately available funds in Dollars in New York City, without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, except for

payments, if any, to be made directly to the applicable Bank or the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer as expressly provided herein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Unreimbursed Amounts, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and Unreimbursed Amounts then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Unreimbursed Amounts then due to such parties.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due from such Borrower to one or more of the Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank from such Borrower. If and to the extent that such Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(d) If any Bank shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.18(c) or 7.08, 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 Bank to satisfy such Bank’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold such amounts in a segregated account over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Bank 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 2.13 Funding Losses. If (a) a Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan or any Term Benchmark Loan is converted to an ABR Loan (pursuant to Section 2.10(b), Article 6 or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, (b) a Borrower fails to borrow, continue or prepay any Term Benchmark Loans after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.04(a) or 2.10(c), or (c) any Term Benchmark Loan is assigned on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 8.05(b), such Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss, cost

or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan), including any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin or profit for the period after any such payment or conversion or failure to borrow or prepay, provided that such Bank shall have delivered to such Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.14 Computation of Fees. All fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day and the last day of each period but excluding the date on which the Commitments terminate).

Section 2.15 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Obligor under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Obligors. Each Obligor shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Obligor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Obligor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by Obligor. The applicable Obligor shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Obligor by a Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by Banks. Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that the applicable Obligor has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of such Obligor to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.06(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Status of Banks. (i) Any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Obligor and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by such Obligor or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Obligor or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by the applicable Obligor or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Obligor or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Obligor or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.15(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in any Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank. For purposes of determining Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Effective Date, the Obligors and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Banks hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” with the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Obligor is a U.S. Person,

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

(B) any Foreign Bank, including a U.S. branch of a Foreign Bank acting solely on behalf of such Foreign Bank, shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Obligor and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Obligor or the Administrative Agent),

whichever of the following is applicable:

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

(II) properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

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

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

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

Each Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Obligors and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

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

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

(i) Fronting L/C Issuers. For purposes of this Section, the term “Bank” includes any Fronting L/C Issuer.

Section 2.16 Cash Collateral.

(a) Fronted Letter of Credit Exposure. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Bank, to the extent required by Section 2.17(a)(iii), the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the applicable Fronting L/C Issuers Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Obligations in respect of Fronted Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided therefor by such Defaulting Bank hereunder).

(b) L/C Obligations. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent (given at the request or with the consent of the Required Banks), if, as of the Termination Date, any Letter of Credit for any reason remains outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the applicable Borrower shall immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the applicable Fronting L/C Issuers and the Banks Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover the then outstanding L/C Obligations plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(c) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent at JPMorgan. The applicable Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Bank, such Defaulting Bank, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Fronting L/C Issuers, the Limited Fronting Banks and/or the Banks (as applicable), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the applicable Obligations for which such Cash Collateral has been delivered. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of Cash Collateral for the purpose for which such Cash Collateral had been delivered is less than the minimum amount required hereunder for such purpose, the applicable Borrower or the applicable Defaulting Bank will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(d) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section, Section 2.17, Section 2.18 or Section 6.01 shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the applicable Obligations for which such Cash Collateral has been provided hereunder (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Bank, any interest accrued on such Obligations), prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(e) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) shall be released promptly upon the following:

(i) in the event that any Bank on account of whom such Cash Collateral was delivered shall no longer be a Defaulting Bank, the Administrative Agent shall return to the pledgor such portion of Cash Collateral attributable to such Bank;

(ii) in the event that any Bank on account of whom such Cash Collateral was delivered shall have its Commitment reduced, the Administrative Agent shall return to the pledgor such portion of the Cash Collateral attributable to such Bank in proportion to the amount by which such Bank’s Commitment is so reduced;

(iii) in the event that the applicable Letter of Credit on account of which such Cash Collateral was delivered expires, is reduced in its face amount or is drawn upon, and such drawing has been reimbursed by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall return to the pledgor such portion of the Cash Collateral attributable to such expired or reduced Letter of Credit or such reimbursed drawing, as applicable; or

(iv) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral with respect to the applicable Obligations for which such Cash Collateral has been provided hereunder;

provided, however, that (x) Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of any Borrower shall not be released during the continuance of a Default, and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Administrative Agent and, as applicable, the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or Limited Fronting Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated exposure or other obligations in respect of Letters of Credit (or participations therein).

Section 2.17 Defaulting Banks. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank:

(i) such Defaulting Bank shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.08(a) for any period during which it is a Defaulting Bank (and PFI shall not be required to pay any such fee that would otherwise have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Bank);

(ii) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 9.04 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to any Fronting L/C Issuer hereunder; third, to cash collateralize L/C Obligations with respect to such Defaulting Bank in accordance with this Section; fourth, as PFI may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such

Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and PFI, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Bank’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize future L/C Obligations with respect to such Defaulting Bank with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks or any Fronting L/C Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank or any Fronting L/C Issuer against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; and eighth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Unreimbursed Amounts in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Unreimbursed Amounts owed to, all non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Unreimbursed Amounts owed to, such Defaulting Bank until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Bank’s Unreimbursed Amount are held by the Banks pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to clause (iv) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto;

(iii) the Commitments and Revolving Credit Exposures of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in determining whether all Banks or the Required Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder, and such Defaulting Bank’s right to approve any amendment, waiver or other modification with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.05;

(iv) with respect to any Fronted Letter of Credit and/or the L/C Obligations of such Defaulting Bank with respect thereto:

(A) with respect to any Fronted Letter of Credit outstanding at the time such Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, all or any portion of such L/C Obligations held by such Defaulting Bank shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Banks’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Obligations does not exceed the aggregate amount of all non-Defaulting Banks’ Commitments (except as provided in Section 2.18(j) for Limited Fronting Banks), (y) the Revolving Credit Exposure of each

non-Defaulting Bank shall not exceed the Commitment of such non-Defaulting Bank (except as provided in Section 2.18(j) if such non-Defaulting Bank is a Limited Fronting Bank) and (z) the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied at such time (and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such Defaulting Bank shall have no obligation under each such Fronted Letter of Credit to the extent such L/C Obligations in respect thereof are so allocated);

(B) if the reallocation described in clause (iv)(A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Fronting L/C Issuers only such Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (iv)(A) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.16(a) for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding;

(C) if the applicable Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Obligations pursuant to clause (iv)(B) above, PFI shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.08(b) with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Obligations during the period such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Obligations are Cash Collateralized;

(D) if the L/C Obligations of the non-Defaulting Banks are reallocated with respect to any Fronted Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (iv)(A) above, then the fees payable to the Banks pursuant to Section 2.09(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Banks’ Applicable Percentages; and

(E) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Obligations are neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (iv)(A) or (iv)(B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Fronting L/C Issuer or any Bank hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.08(b) with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Obligations shall be payable to the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer until and to the extent that such L/C Obligations are reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized; and

(F) no Fronting L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, amend, increase or extend any Fronted Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that such Defaulting Bank’s then outstanding L/C Obligations (including with respect to such Letter of Credit) will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Banks and/or Cash Collateral will be provided by the applicable Borrower in accordance with this Section and Section 2.16(a), and participation interests in any newly issued or increased Fronted Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Banks in a manner consistent with clause (iv)(A) above (and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such Defaulting Bank shall have no obligation under each such Fronted Letter of Credit to the extent such L/C Obligations in respect thereof are so allocated); and

(v) with respect to any Several Letter of Credit and/or the L/C Obligations of such Defaulting Bank with respect thereto:

(A) such Defaulting Bank shall not be entitled to receive any Letter of Credit fee pursuant to Section 2.08(b) for any period during which it is a Defaulting Bank (and (except as provided in clause (v)(C) below) PFI shall not be required to pay any such fee that would otherwise have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Bank);

(B) with respect to any Several Letter of Credit outstanding at the time such Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank (other than any Several Letter of Credit with respect to which another Bank has agreed to act as the Limited Fronting Bank for such Defaulting Bank), with the consent of the beneficiary thereunder to the extent required by the terms thereof or under applicable law or regulation, (i) all or any portion of the L/C Obligations held by such Defaulting Bank shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Banks’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Obligations does not exceed the aggregate amount of all non-Defaulting Banks’ Commitments (except as provided in Section 2.18(j) for Limited Fronting Banks), (y) the Revolving Credit Exposure of each non-Defaulting Bank shall not exceed the Commitment of such non-Defaulting Bank (except as provided in Section 2.18(j) if such non-Defaulting Bank is a Limited Fronting Bank) and (z) the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied at such time and (ii) each such Several Letter of Credit shall be amended to specify the non-Defaulting Banks that are parties to such Several Letter of Credit, after giving effect to such event, and such non-Defaulting Banks’ respective Applicable Percentages with respect thereto as of the effective date of such amendment (and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such Defaulting Bank shall have no obligation under each such Several Letter of Credit to the extent such L/C Obligations in respect thereof are so allocated);

(C) if the L/C Obligations of the non-Defaulting Banks are reallocated with respect to any Several Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (v)(B) above, then the Letter of Credit fees payable to the Banks with respect to such Several Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.09(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Banks’ Applicable Percentages; and

(D) so long as such Bank remains a Defaulting Bank, the L/C Obligations of the Banks in respect of any Several Letter of Credit requested to be issued hereunder shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Banks in a manner consistent with clause 2.17(v)(B) above (and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such Defaulting Bank shall have no obligation under each such Several Letter of Credit to the extent such L/C Obligations in respect thereof are so allocated).

(b) If any Fronting L/C Issuer has a good faith belief that any Bank has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Bank commits to extend credit, such Fronting L/C Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Fronting L/C Issuer shall have entered into arrangements with the applicable Borrower or such Bank, satisfactory to such Fronting L/C Issuer to defease any risk to it in respect of such Bank hereunder.

(c) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Several L/C Agent, the Fronting L/C Issuers and the Borrowers each agree that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), (A) to the extent the L/C Obligations held by the non-Defaulting Banks were theretofore reallocated with respect to any Several Letter of Credit pursuant to paragraph (a)(v) of this Section, all adjustments shall be made to such Several Letters of Credit consistent with Section 2.18(b)(v) (including amendments to each such Several Letter of Credit and/or, if applicable, purchases at par by such Bank of the Unreimbursed Amounts then outstanding (if any) of the other Banks thereunder) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such L/C Obligations in accordance with its Applicable Percentage; (B) if the L/C Obligations held by the non-Defaulting Banks were not theretofore reallocated with respect to such Several Letter of Credit pursuant to paragraph (a)(v) of this Section, but instead the face amount of any such Several Letter of Credit was increased or a new Several Letter of Credit was issued hereunder in favor of the beneficiary of such Several Letter of Credit in order to provide such beneficiary with an aggregate undrawn face amount of Letters of Credit from the non-Defaulting Banks in the amount required by such beneficiary, the amount of such Several Letter of Credit or new Several Letter of Credit shall be amended to decrease the amount thereof, or the applicable Borrower shall arrange for such new Letter of Credit to be surrendered by such beneficiary to such Several L/C Agent, in order to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Commitment; and (C) such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Banks or shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Bank shall no longer be a Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Bank was a Defaulting Bank; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank. Subject to Section 9.18, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Bank arising from that Bank having become a Defaulting Bank, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Bank as a result of such Non-Defaulting Bank’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

Section 2.18 Letters of Credit.

(a) Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from time to time during the Availability Period:

(A) each Fronting L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Banks set forth in this Section, (1) to issue Fronted Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of any Borrower, and to amend or extend Fronted Letters of Credit previously issued by it, (2) to honor drawings under Fronted Letters of Credit, and the Banks severally agree to participate in all Fronted Letters of Credit issued hereunder and any drawings thereunder in accordance with their Applicable Percentages, and (3) that all Existing Letters of Credit outstanding on the Effective Date under the Existing Credit Agreement and issued by a Fronting L/C Issuer that is a Fronting L/C Bank hereunder and listed on Schedule 2.18 shall automatically be continued hereunder on the Effective Date by such Fronting L/C Issuer, and as of the Effective Date the Banks shall acquire a participation therein as if such Existing Letter of Credit were issued hereunder, and each such Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed a Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement as of the Effective Date; and

(B) each Bank agrees, through the Several L/C Agent, (1) to issue severally, and for itself alone, Several Letters of Credit at the request of and for the account of any Borrower in such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate stated amounts of such Several Letters of Credit, and to amend or extend Several Letters of Credit previously issued by it, (2) to honor severally, and for itself alone, drawings under the Several Letters of Credit in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of such drawings, and (3) that all Existing Letters of Credit outstanding on the Effective Date under the Existing Credit Agreement and issued by such Banks thereunder and listed on Schedule 2.18 shall automatically be continued hereunder on the Effective Date by the Banks, and each such Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed a Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement as of the Effective Date;

provided that, after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension, (x) the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments, (y) the Revolving Credit Exposure of each Bank shall not exceed its Commitment (except as provided in Section 2.18(j) for any Bank that is acting as a Limited Fronting Bank with respect to such L/C Credit Extension) and (z) with respect to any Fronted Letter of Credit issued by any Fronting L/C Issuer, the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Fronted Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting L/C Issuer shall not exceed its Fronted Letter of Credit Commitment.

Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly any Borrower may, during the Availability Period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

Each Fronted Letter of Credit shall be a standby letter of credit in such form as the applicable Borrower shall request and which the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent shall determine in good faith does not conflict with the terms hereof.

Each Several Letter of Credit shall be a standby letter of credit in such form as the applicable Borrower shall request and which the Administrative Agent and the Several L/C Agent shall determine in good faith does not contain any obligations, or diminish any rights, of any Bank with respect thereto or other terms thereof that do not conflict with the terms hereof. Without the prior consent of each Bank, no Several Letter of Credit may be issued that would vary the several and not joint nature of the obligations of the Banks thereunder, and (subject to the provisions contained herein regarding Limited Fronting Banks and Defaulting Banks) each Several Letter of Credit shall be issued (through the applicable Several L/C Agent) by all of the Banks at the time of issuance as a single multi-bank letter of credit, but the obligation of each Bank thereunder shall be several (and not joint) based upon its Applicable Percentage of the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit.

If requested by any Borrower but subject to the terms and conditions hereof, a Letter of Credit shall satisfy the requirements for letters of credit under the credit-for-reinsurance provisions of the relevant beneficiary’s domiciliary state’s insurance laws and regulations (or the requirements of such other Governmental Authority which then regulates the relevant beneficiary’s business as may be specified by such Borrower) as to which such Borrower notifies the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent prior to the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that the applicable Fronting L/C Issuers, the Several L/C Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall not be obligated to verify such satisfaction.

(ii) No Fronting L/C Issuer shall issue, amend or extend any Fronted Letter of Credit, and the Several L/C Agent shall not issue any Several Letter of Credit on behalf of the Banks, if, (A) subject to Section 2.18(b)(v) with respect to Auto-Extension Letters of Credit, the expiry date of such Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Banks have approved such expiry date, or (B) the expiry date of such Letter of Credit would occur after five Business Days prior to the Termination Date, unless (x) all the Banks have approved such expiry date and (y) such Letters of Credit have been Cash Collateralized in an amount sufficient to cover the then outstanding L/C Obligations in respect thereof plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(iii) No Fronting L/C Issuer shall issue, amend or extend any Fronted Letter of Credit, and neither the Several L/C Agent nor any Bank shall issue, amend or extend any Several Letter of Credit, if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent or, if the Administrative Agent has been notified thereof by any Bank, such Bank from issuing, amending or extending such Letter of Credit, or request that such Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent, or if the Administrative Agent has been notified thereof by any Bank, such Bank, refrain from issuing, amending or extending such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent or, if the Administrative Agent has been notified thereof by any Bank, such Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent or, if the Administrative Agent has been notified thereof by any Bank, such Bank shall

prohibit the issuance, amendment or extension of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, or any such order, judgment or decree, or law shall impose upon such Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent or, if the Administrative Agent has been notified thereof by any Bank, such Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital or liquidity requirement (for which such Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent or, if the Administrative Agent has been notified thereof by any Bank, such Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent or, if the Administrative Agent has been notified thereof by any Bank, such Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent or, if the Administrative Agent has been notified thereof by any Bank, such Bank in good faith deems material to it;

(B) the issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent or, if the Administrative Agent has been notified thereof by any Bank, such Bank, as applicable, applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C) except as otherwise agreed by such Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount of less than $250,000;

(D) after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, more than 15 Letters of Credit would be outstanding unless the Borrowers, the Fronting L/C Issuers and the Several L/C Agent and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree;

(E) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;

(F) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

(G) if such Letter of Credit is (i) a Fronted Letter of Credit or (ii) a Several Letter of Credit in respect of which there is a Limited Fronting Bank, any Bank is a Defaulting Bank thereunder, unless the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or the applicable Limited Fronting Bank, as applicable, has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it with the applicable Borrower or such Defaulting Bank to eliminate such Fronting L/C Issuer’s or such Limited Fronting Bank’s risk with respect to such Defaulting Bank; provided that, if the applicable Borrower, provides Cash Collateral with respect to a Letter of Credit requested to be issued hereunder, the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or the applicable Limited Fronting Bank, as applicable, shall not be entitled to rely on this clause (G) as a basis for not issuing such Letter of Credit.

(iv) No Fronting L/C Issuer shall amend or extend any Fronted Letter of Credit, and neither the Several L/C Agent nor any Bank shall amend or extend any Several Letter of Credit, if it would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms of Section 2.18(a)(iii) (provided that this paragraph (iv) shall not apply to the automatic renewal of any Auto-Extension Letter of Credit).

(v) No Fronting L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Fronted Letter of Credit, and neither the Several L/C Agent nor any Bank shall be under any obligation to amend any Several Letter of Credit, if (A) such Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent or such Bank, as applicable, would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms of Section 2.18(a)(iii) or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(vi) If any Bank shall become an Affected Bank with respect to a particular Several Letter of Credit, such Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof (which shall promptly notify the Several L/C Agent and the applicable Borrower). In the absence of receipt by the Administrative Agent of notice by a Bank that it has become an Affected Bank with respect to a particular Several Letter of Credit, it shall be conclusively presumed by the Administrative Agent and the Several L/C Agent that such Bank is not an Affected Bank with respect to such Several Letter of Credit. If such notice is given by an Affected Bank with respect to a particular Several Letter of Credit, such notice shall not be effective as a like notice with respect to any other Several Letter of Credit. If such notice is given by an Affected Bank with respect to a particular Several Letter of Credit, upon the applicable Borrower’s request any other Bank may (but shall not be obligated to) agree to act as a Limited Fronting Bank for such Affected Bank with respect to such Several Letter of Credit upon such terms and conditions as such Affected Bank and such other Bank may agree.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of any Borrower, by the delivery to (A) the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer, in the case of Fronted Letters of Credit, (B) the Several L/C Agent, in the case of Several Letters of Credit, and (C) the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks of such request, in the case of a Several Letter of Credit), in each case, of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by an authorized signor of such Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by such Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, of the particular Letter of Credit.

In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable:

(A) whether such Letter of Credit is to be issued as a Fronted Letter of Credit or a Several Letter of Credit and, if such Letter of Credit is to be issued as a Several Letter of Credit, whether there is to be a Limited Fronting Bank;

(B) if applicable, the name of the Subsidiary of the applicable Borrower to be an applicant with respect to such Letter of Credit;

(D) the amount thereof;

(E) the expiry date thereof;

(F) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof;

(G) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary, if any, in case of any drawing thereunder;

(H) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary, if any, in case of any drawing thereunder;

(I) the purpose and nature of such Letter of Credit;

(J) whether such Letter of Credit shall be issued under the rules of the ISP or the UCP; and

(K) such other matters as such Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, may reasonably require.

In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable:

(I) the Letter of Credit to be amended;

(II) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day);

(III) the nature of the proposed amendment; and

(IV) such other matters as such Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, may reasonably require.

Additionally, the applicable Borrower shall, and shall (if applicable) cause any Subsidiary party to the relevant Letter of Credit Application to, furnish to the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, as such Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, will notify the Administrative Agent and, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, provide the Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit Application. Unless such Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, has received written notice from the Administrative Agent, at least two Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that such Letter of Credit is not permitted to be issued hereunder or that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article 3 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, shall, on the requested date, issue a Fronting Letter of Credit or a Several L/C Agent, as applicable, for the account of such Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Fronting L/C Issuer’s or the Several L/C Agent’s, as applicable, usual and customary business practices.

(iii) The Several L/C Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver each Several Letter of Credit and each amendment to a Several Letter of Credit on behalf of each Bank and to otherwise act on behalf of each Bank with respect to each Several Letter of Credit, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof. The Several L/C Agent shall use the Applicable Percentage of each Bank as its “Percentage Obligation” (or equivalent term) under each Several Letter of Credit; provided that each Limited Fronting Bank (if any), in its capacity as such, shall, in addition to its own “Percentage Obligation” as a Bank, have a “Percentage Obligation” (or equivalent term) equal to the Applicable Percentage (or the portion thereof, if applicable) of each Participating L/C Issuer for which such Limited Fronting Bank acts in such capacity under such Several Letter of Credit. Subject to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.18(a)(i), the Several L/C Agent is hereby authorized to amend a Several Letter of Credit to change the “Percentage Obligation” (or equivalent term) of a Bank, or add or delete a Bank liable under a Several Letter of Credit, in connection with an assignment or any other addition or replacement of a Bank, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including in connection with changes resulting from the reallocation of L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 2.17). In the event that a Bank becomes a Participating L/C Issuer or ceases to be a Participating L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent is hereby authorized to amend each Several Letter of Credit to reflect such change in status and to change the “Percentage Obligation” (or equivalent term) of the applicable Limited Fronting Bank, as the case may be. Each Bank (including, for avoidance of doubt, each Limited Fronting Bank) hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Several L/C Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of such Bank with full power of substitution and revocation in its own name or in the name of the Several L/C Agent for the limited purpose of issuing, executing and delivering, as the case may be, each Several Letter of Credit and each amendment to a Several Letter of Credit and for carrying out the purposes of this Agreement with respect to Several Letters of Credit, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof.

(iv) It is the intention and agreement of the Administrative Agent, the Banks and the Several L/C Agent that (A) except as otherwise expressly set forth herein (including with respect to Limited Fronting Banks, if any), the rights and obligations of the Banks in respect of outstanding Several Letters of Credit shall be determined in accordance with the Applicable Percentages of the Banks from time to time in effect and (B) subject to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.18(a)(i), outstanding Several Letters of Credit shall be promptly amended to reflect changes in the Applicable Percentages of the Banks under this Agreement arising from time to time in connection with any event or circumstance contemplated hereby, including a Bank acting as a Limited Fronting Bank for any Affected Bank or Non-NAIC Approved Bank pursuant to Section 2.18(j), an increase of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.09(c), a reallocation of L/C Obligations held by a Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.17, a replacement of a Bank pursuant to Section 8.05(b), an assignment pursuant to Section 9.06 or otherwise. However, it is acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, the Banks and the Several L/C Agent that amendments of outstanding Several Letters of Credit may not be immediately effected and may be subject to the consent of the beneficiaries of such Several Letters of Credit. Accordingly, whether or not Several Letters of Credit are amended as contemplated hereby, the Banks agree that they shall purchase and sell participations (as provided in Section 2.18(k)) or otherwise make or effect such payments among themselves (but through the Administrative Agent) so that payments by the Banks of drawings under Several Letters of Credit and payments by the applicable Borrower of Unreimbursed Amounts thereunder and interest thereon are, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein (including with respect to Limited Fronting Banks and Defaulting Banks, if any), in each case shared by the Banks in accordance with the Applicable Percentages of the Banks from time to time in effect.

(v) If any Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer (in the case of a Fronted Letter of Credit) or the Several L/C Agent (in the case of a Several Letter of Credit), as applicable, will issue or amend a Letter of Credit to provide for automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, to prevent any such extension by giving notice to the beneficiary thereof prior to the thirtieth (30th) day (or such earlier day as set forth in the applicable Letter of Credit and agreed to by such Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent) preceding the then current expiration date of such Letter of Credit (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”). Such Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Banks shall be deemed to have authorized the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit to an expiry date not later than twelve months from the then existing expiry date and in any event not later than five Business Days prior to the Termination Date.

(vi) After its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, will, promptly after request therefor, deliver to the applicable Borrower and/or the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. Within 15 days after the end of each calendar month, the Administrative Agent will deliver to each of the Banks and the Borrowers a written report setting forth the Letters of Credit that were issued and outstanding as of the last day of such calendar month.

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Fundings. (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Fronted Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Fronted Letter of Credit, the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer shall, promptly and in any event at least one Business Day before the date (the “Honor Date”) on which such Fronting L/C Issuer anticipates that payment of such drawing will be made, notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 2:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Honor Date, so long as the applicable Borrower has received notice of such payment from the Fronting L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Honor Date and, otherwise, not later than 2:30 p.m., New York City time, on the following Business Day, such Borrower shall reimburse such Fronting L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount of such drawing (such amount, the “Unreimbursed Amount”) without further demand; provided that, at any time during the Availability Period, such Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.02 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing. If such Borrower fails to make such reimbursement by the required time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the Honor Date, the Unreimbursed Amount and the amount of such Bank’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Each Bank shall, upon any notice pursuant to this paragraph (c)(i), with respect to its participation in such Unreimbursed Amount, make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent. If any Defaulting Bank shall fail to make such funds available, any Cash Collateral delivered on account of such Defaulting Bank for the respective Fronted Letter of Credit shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the reimbursement of the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer as required hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received or applied to the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer. Any notice given by any Fronting L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph (c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Several Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Several Letter of Credit, the Several L/C Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower and the Banks, thereof, which notices shall be given promptly and in any event at least one Business Day before the date (also the “Honor Date”) on which the Several L/C Agent anticipates that payment of such drawing will be made. Not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Honor Date and without further notice or demand by the Several L/C Agent or the Administrative Agent, (A) each Bank (including each Limited Fronting Bank, but excluding each Participating L/C Issuer) shall make funds available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage (and, in the case of each Limited Fronting Bank, the

Applicable Percentage (or the portion thereof for which it has agreed to be a Limited Fronting Bank) of each applicable Participating L/C Issuer) of the drawing under such Several Letter of Credit (and the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Several L/C Agent) and, (B) in the event that a Limited Fronting Bank pays the Applicable Percentage of a Participating L/C Issuer (or the relevant portion thereof, if applicable), such Participating L/C Issuer shall pay such Applicable Percentage to such Limited Fronting Bank in purchase of its participation in such payment. Not later than 2:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Honor Date, so long as such Borrower has received notice of payment under such Several Letter of Credit from the Several L/C Agent or the Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Honor Date and, otherwise, not later than 2:30 p.m., New York City time, on the following Business Day such Borrower shall pay to the Banks through the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount of such drawing (such amount also the “Unreimbursed Amount”) without further demand; provided that, at any time during the Availability Period, such Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.02 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing. Any notice given by the Several L/C Agent or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph 2.18(c)(ii) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(iii) Notwithstanding the date on which an Unreimbursed Amount is payable by the applicable Borrower pursuant to paragraph (c)(i) or (ii) of this Section, if an Unreimbursed Amount is not paid by such Borrower by 2:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Honor Date, or financed with an ABR Borrowing pursuant to paragraph (c)(i) or (ii) of this Section, each Unreimbursed Amount shall bear interest from the applicable Honor Date to the date that such Unreimbursed Amount is paid by such Borrower at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(iv) Until a Bank funds its obligation pursuant to Section 2.18(c), interest in respect of such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of any Unreimbursed Amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent (if the Several L/C Agent has funded on behalf of such Bank, as provided in Section 2.18(c)(vi)), as applicable.

(v) Each Bank’s (including, for avoidance of doubt, each Limited Fronting Bank’s and each Participating L/C Issuer’s) obligation to fund its obligations pursuant to Section 2.18(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(vi) If any Bank fails to make available to the Administrative Agent any amount required to be paid by such Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 2.18(c) by the time specified in paragraph (c)(i) or 2.18(c)(ii) of this Section, as applicable, the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent (to the extent that the Several L/C Agent shall have funded such amount on behalf of such Bank, it being understood and agreed that neither the Several L/C Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation or liability to fund any amount under any Several Letter of Credit other than in its capacity as a Bank), as applicable, shall, through the Administrative Agent, be entitled to recover from such Bank, on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Administrative Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(vii) The obligations of the Banks hereunder to honor drawings under, and/or (if applicable) to fund participations in, Letters of Credit are several and not joint. The failure of any Bank to fund any such drawing or participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Bank of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and (except for Limited Fronting Banks with respect to Letters of Credit they have issued on behalf of Affected Banks or Non-NAIC Approved Banks) no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to honor a drawing or purchase its participation.

(d) Repayment of Fundings. (i) If, after any Bank has funded its obligation under Section 2.18(c) in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent receives any payment (including any payment of interest) in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), then the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Bank its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Bank’s funding was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. If any Bank has not funded its obligation as aforesaid, such Bank’s Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment shall be paid to the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent (if the Several L/C Agent shall have funded on behalf of such Bank, as provided in Section 2.18(c)(vi)), as applicable.

(ii) If any payment made by the Administrative Agent to the Banks pursuant to Section 2.18(d)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.15 (including pursuant to any settlement), each Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Bank, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the applicable Borrower to pay each Unreimbursed Amount shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Document, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that such Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent, any Bank, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by any Fronting L/C Issuer or the Banks under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (the only obligation of such Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent being to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under the applicable Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit) or any payment made by any Fronting L/C Issuer or the Banks, as applicable, under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent, any Bank, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective branches or Affiliates being the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit;

(vi) any Fronting L/C Issuer or any Bank honoring a drawing against any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit up to the amount available under such Letter of Credit even if such draft, demand, certificate or other document claims an amount in excess of the amount available under such Letter of Credit;

(vii) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent, any Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent or any Bank as security for any of such reimbursement obligations shall fail to be perfected;

(viii) the occurrence of any Default;

(ix) the existence of any proceedings of the type described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 with respect to such Borrower or any Subsidiary;

(x) whether such Letter of Credit is issued in support of any obligations of any Subsidiary or any Subsidiary is an applicant for, or purports in any way to have any liability for, such Letter of Credit; or

(xi) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Borrower or any Subsidiary.

The applicable Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto requested by such Borrower that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower’s (or, if applicable, any Subsidiary’s) instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will notify the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer (with respect to Fronted Letters of Credit) or the Several L/C Agent (with respect to Several Letters of Credit) within five Business Days of receipt of such Letter of Credit or amendment. The applicable Borrower and each Subsidiary party to any Letter of Credit Application shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent or the Banks, as applicable, unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of Fronting L/C Issuer and Several L/C Agent. Each Bank and the Borrowers agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, neither the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer nor the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. Neither any Fronting L/C Issuer nor the Several L/C Agent, any Related Party thereof nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, shall be liable to any Bank for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Banks or the Required Banks, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document. Each Borrower (and, if applicable, any Subsidiary that is an applicant in respect of a Letter of Credit) hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude such Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Fronting L/C Issuers, the Several L/C Agent, any Related Party thereof nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Fronting L/C Issuers or the Several L/C Agent shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (xi) of paragraph (e) of this Section; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in such clauses to the contrary, such Borrower (or, if applicable, any Subsidiary) may have a claim against any Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, and such Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, may be liable to such Borrower or such Subsidiary, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages suffered by such Borrower or

such Subsidiary which such Borrower or such Subsidiary proves were caused primarily by such Fronting L/C Issuer’s or the Several L/C Agent’s, as applicable, willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Fronting L/C Issuer’s or the Several L/C Agent’s, as applicable, willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the applicable Letter of Credit, unless such payment would be unlawful under any applicable law, regulation, ordinance, rule or any judgment or court order. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, may (in its sole discretion) accept documents and make payment upon such documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit and the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, shall not be responsible or liable by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit, unless, for regulatory purposes, the rule of the UCP must apply.

(h) Conflict with Letter of Credit Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Letter of Credit Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(i) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Letter of Credit Document to the contrary, PFI shall be solely and fully obligated to pay all amounts owing with respect to each Letter of Credit, including each Unreimbursed Amount and accrued interest thereon with respect to such Letter of Credit, whether or not such Letter of Credit is issued in support of any obligations of any Subsidiary or any Subsidiary is party as an applicant to the relevant Letter of Credit Application, all on the terms set forth herein. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit at the request of any of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(j) Limited Fronting Banks. In the event that any Bank agrees (in its sole discretion) to act as a Limited Fronting Bank for any Affected Bank or Non-NAIC Approved Bank upon such terms and conditions as such parties may agree (including fees payable by such Affected Bank or Non-NAIC Approved Bank to such Limited Fronting Bank) (such agreement, a “Limited Fronting Bank Agreement”), the following provisions shall apply (in addition to any other provisions hereof relating to Limited Fronting Banks):

(i) upon the issuance of any Several Letter of Credit pursuant hereto, with respect to any Affected Bank or Non-NAIC Approved Bank, as applicable, as a Participating L/C Issuer under such Several Letter of Credit, each applicable Limited Fronting Bank, in reliance upon the agreements of such Affected Bank or Non-NAIC Approved Bank, as applicable, as a Participating L/C Issuer set forth in this Section, agrees (A) to issue through the applicable Several L/C Agent, in addition to its own obligations as a Bank under such Several Letter of Credit, severally such Several Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Affected Bank’s or Non-NAIC Approved Bank’s, as applicable, Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of such Several Letter of Credit (or the portion thereof for which such Limited Fronting Bank has agreed to be a Limited Fronting Bank), and (B) to amend or extend each Several Letter of Credit previously issued by it as a Limited Fronting Bank for such Participating L/C Issuer; and

(ii) with respect to any Several Letter of Credit issued by a Limited Fronting Bank pursuant to clause (i) above for a Participating L/C Issuer, such Participating L/C Issuer agrees to purchase participations (as provided in Section 2.18(k)) in the obligations of such Limited Fronting Bank under such Several Letter of Credit attributable to such Participating L/C Issuer for which such Limited Fronting Bank has agreed to act as a Limited Fronting Bank hereunder.

Each Bank that agrees to act as a Limited Fronting Bank for any other Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Several L/C Agent and the Borrowers) of such agreement and of any termination or expiration of such agreement.

In the event that, pursuant to this paragraph (j), any Bank agrees to act as a Limited Fronting Bank for any other Bank that becomes an Affected Bank or a Non-NAIC Approved Bank, such Bank shall receive such compensation therefor as such Affected Bank or Non-NAIC Approved Bank and such Bank may agree. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Bank shall have any obligation to agree to act hereunder as a Limited Fronting Bank for any other Bank.

(k) Participations. In the event (i) any Participating L/C Issuer purchases a participation in the Letter(s) of Credit of its Limited Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 2.18(j) or (ii) any Bank acquires or is deemed to acquire a participation in the Letters of Credit of the other Bank pursuant to Section 2.18(b)(iv), then, without any further action on the part of any party, (A) in the case of clause (i) above, such Limited Fronting Bank grants to such Participating L/C Issuer, and such Participating L/C Issuer hereby acquires from such Limited Fronting Bank, a participation in such Limited Fronting Bank’s Applicable Percentage of the relevant Letters of Credit attributable to such Participating L/C Issuer for which such Limited Fronting Bank has agreed to act as a Limited Fronting Bank hereunder and (B) in the case of clause (ii) above, each such other Bank grants to such Bank, and such Bank hereby acquires from such other Bank, a participation in that portion of each such other Bank’s Applicable Percentage of the relevant Letters of Credit to give effect to the purposes of the last sentence of Section 2.18(b)(iv). Each Bank (including each Participating L/C Issuer) purchasing a participation hereunder acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, such Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the applicable Limited Fronting Bank or such other Bank, as applicable, an amount equal to the amount of each payment made by such Limited Fronting Bank or other Bank,

as applicable, in respect of the portion of such Letter of Credit in which such Bank holds a participation, promptly upon the request of such Limited Fronting Bank or any such other Bank, as applicable, at any time from the time such payment is made until such payment is reimbursed by the applicable Borrower or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason, including after the Termination Date.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Bank under this Section 7.09(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent, may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(iii) Each party hereto agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Bank that has received such erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Bank with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Obligor, except, in each case, to the extent the Administrative Agent receives funds from (or at the direction of) any Obligor in respect of the Obligations or such erroneous Payment is made with or on account of the proceeds of a payment made by (or at the direction of) any Obligor to the Administrative Agent for the purpose of satisfying an Obligation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(iv) Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.09(c) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 7.10 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Banks and PFI; provided that if the Person acting as the Administrative Agent at any time is also acting as the Several L/C Agent, such Person shall also resign as the Several L/C Agent. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Bank (or an Affiliate thereof) with an office in the United States (and which Person shall also be appointed as the successor Several L/C Agent, if applicable). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (and a successor Several L/C Agent, if applicable); provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify PFI and the Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, the Fronting L/C Issuers, the Limited Fronting Banks and/or the Banks, as applicable, under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank directly, until such time as the Required Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon acceptance of its appointment as successor Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, Several L/C Agent) hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, Several L/C Agent) shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, Several L/C Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, Several L/C Agent) shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). After any retiring Administrative Agent’s

(and, if applicable, Several L/C Agent’s) resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, Several L/C Agent), the provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, Several L/C Agent), its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, Several L/C Agent).

Section 7.11 Other Agents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agents and the Co-Documentation Agents shall have no duties or responsibilities hereunder in their capacity as such, except in their capacity, if any, as a Bank.

Section 7.12 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Bank an amount equivalent to any applicable income, stamp or other Taxes, imposts, duties, charges, or fees imposed, levied, collected or assessed by any Governmental Authority. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.15, each Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 10 days after written demand therefor, any and all taxes, imposts, duties, charges, or fees and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold any amounts from payments to or for the account of such Bank for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Bank failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of such required withholding ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For purposes of this Section, the term “Bank” includes any Fronting L/C Issuer.

Section 7.13 Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Bank (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and the Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Obligor, that at least one of the following is and will be true.

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Bank.

(b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Bank or such Bank has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Bank further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and the Joint Lead Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Obligor, that none of the Administrative Agent, or the Joint Lead Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Bank (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

(c) The Administrative Agent and each Joint Lead Arranger hereby informs the Banks that each such Person is not undertaking to provide investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments by such Bank or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, commitment fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent fees or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

ARTICLE 8

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

Section 8.01 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 8.01, if:

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

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to PFI and the Banks by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies PFI and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the applicable Borrower delivers a new Notice of Interest Rate Election in accordance with the terms of Section 2.10 or a new Notice of Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02. Any Notice of Interest Rate Election that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Notice of Borrowing that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a Notice of Interest Rate Election or a Notice of Borrowing, as applicable, for (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 8.01(a)(i) or (ii) above; or (y) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 8.01(a)(i) or (ii) above; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowing, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of PFI’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this 8.01(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies PFI and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the applicable Borrower delivers a new Notice of Interest Rate Election in accordance with the terms of Section 2.10 or a

new Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, (A) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 8.01(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 8.01(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day, and (B) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan.

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

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify PFI and the Banks of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Bank (or group of Banks) pursuant to this Section 8.01, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 8.01.

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

(f) Upon PFI’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the applicable Borrower may revoke any request for (i) a Term Benchmark Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued or (ii) an RFR Borrowing or conversion to RFR Loans, during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the applicable Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing, as applicable, into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) solely with respect to any such request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of PFI’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 8.01, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan.

Section 8.02 Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its Term Benchmark Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Term Benchmark Loans to any Borrower and such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and PFI), whereupon until such Bank notifies PFI and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make Term Benchmark Loans to such Borrower, or to convert outstanding Loans made to such

Borrower into Term Benchmark Loans, shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different Term Benchmark Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such notice is given, each Term Benchmark Loan held by such Bank made to such Borrower then outstanding shall be converted to an ABR Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan if such Bank may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Term Benchmark Loan to such day or (ii) immediately if such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Term Benchmark Loan to such day.

Section 8.03 Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank or any Fronting L/C Issuer; or

(ii) impose on any Bank or any Fronting L/C Issuer or the applicable offshore interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Bank or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Bank, such Fronting L/C Issuer or such other Recipient of making or maintaining any Term Benchmark Loan (or, in the case of clause (iii) above, any Loan) (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Bank, such Fronting L/C Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank, such Fronting L/C Issuer or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), in each case by an amount deemed by such Bank, such Fronting L/C Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank, such Fronting L/C Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, to PFI (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the applicable Borrower will pay to such Bank, such Fronting L/C Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank, such Fronting L/C Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Bank or any Fronting L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or such Fronting L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Bank’s or such Fronting L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or the Letters of Credit issued by or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Bank, or the Letters of Credit issued by any Fronting L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Bank or such Fronting L/C Issuer or such Bank’s or such Fronting L/C Issuer’s holding

company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Bank’s or such Fronting L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Bank’s or such Fronting L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank or such Fronting L/C Issuer to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank or such Fronting L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to PFI (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the applicable Borrower will pay to such Bank or such Fronting L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such Fronting L/C Issuer or such Bank’s or such Fronting L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Each Bank will promptly notify PFI and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder that is signed by an officer of such Bank with knowledge of and responsibility for such matters and that sets forth such amount or amounts and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the applicable Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Bank notifies PFI of the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 8.04 ABR Loans Substituted for Affected Term Benchmark Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make or maintain Term Benchmark Loans to any Borrower has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03(a) and PFI at its option, by at least five Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Administrative Agent, shall have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies PFI that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer apply:

(a) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as (or continued as or converted into) Term Benchmark Loans shall instead be ABR Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Term Benchmark Loans of the other Banks), and

(b) after each of its Term Benchmark Loans has been repaid (or converted to an ABR Loan), all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Term Benchmark Loans shall be applied to repay its ABR Loans instead.

If such Bank notifies PFI that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer apply, the principal amount of each such ABR Loan shall be converted into a Term Benchmark Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related Term Benchmark Loans of the other Banks.

Section 8.05 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Banks.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If (i) any Bank requests compensation under Section 8.03, (ii) any Bank gives a notice pursuant to Section 8.02 or (iii) if any Obligor is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.03 or 2.15 in the future or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 8.02, as applicable and (ii) would not subject such Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Bank. If (i) any Bank requests compensation under Section 8.03, (ii) any Bank gives a notice pursuant to Section 8.02, (iii) any Obligor is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 2.15 or (iv) any Bank is a Defaulting Bank, then PFI may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.06(c)), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment), provided that (i) PFI shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.06(c); (ii) such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including any amounts under Section 2.13) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); and (iii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws. A Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling PFI to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by PFI, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (ii) the Bank required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Bank, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

The Administrative Agent or any Obligor may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

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

(d) Posting of Communications.

(i) The Obligors agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Banks and the Fronting L/C Issuers by posting the Communications on IntraLinks^™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

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

(iii) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY APPLICABLE PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent, the Several L/C Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger or any of their respective Related Parties (collectively, the “Applicable Parties”) have any liability to the Obligors, any Bank, any Fronting L/C Issuer or any other Person or entity for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of

any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Obligors’ or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Applicable Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Applicable Party have any liability to the Obligors, any Bank or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(iv) Each Bank and each Fronting L/C Issuer agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Bank or such Fronting L/C Issuer for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Bank and each Fronting L/C Issuer agrees (x) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Bank’s or such Fronting L/C Issuer’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (y) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

(v) Each of the Banks, the Fronting L/C Issuers and the Obligors agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

(vi) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any Fronting L/C Issuer to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

(e) Borrower Communications.

(i) The Administrative Agent, the Banks and the Fronting L/C Issuers agree that the Borrowers may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Borrower Communications to the Administrative Agent through an electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Borrower Portal”).

(ii) Although the Approved Borrower Portal and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system), each of the Banks, each of the Fronting L/C Issuers and each of the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of the Borrowers that are added to the Approved Borrower Portal, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Banks, each of the Fronting L/C Issuers and the Borrowers hereby approves distribution of Borrower Communications through the Approved Borrower Portal and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(iii) THE APPROVED BORROWER PORTAL IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED BORROWER PORTAL AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED BORROWER PORTAL AND THE BORROWER COMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED BORROWER PORTAL. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY APPLICABLE PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY OBLIGOR, ANY BANK, ANY FRONTING L/C ISSUER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY BORROWERS’ TRANSMISSION OF BORROWER COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED BORROWER PORTAL.

(iv) Each of the Banks, each of the Fronting L/C Issuers and each of the Borrowers agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Borrower Communications on the Approved Borrower Portal in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

(v) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of any Borrower to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

(f) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Obligors and the Administrative Agent may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Bank may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Obligors and the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Bank agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Bank.

(g) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Banks. The Administrative Agent and the Banks shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices reasonably believed by them to be genuine and to have been given by or on behalf of any Obligor even if such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein. The Obligors shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Bank and

the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice reasonably believed by them to be genuine and to have been given by or on behalf of the Obligors. All telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

Section 9.02 No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnification. (a) PFI shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agents, including reasonable fees and disbursements of Latham & Watkins LLP, special counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the preparation of this Agreement, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment, modifications or waivers hereof. PFI agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (which counsel may be an employee of such Bank), in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof. Each request for payment of expenses under this Section shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed invoice and support for PFI’s review prior to reimbursement thereof.

(b) Each Obligor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger, each Fronting L/C Issuer or the Several L/C Agent and each Bank, and each Related Party of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all liabilities, claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Agent or such Bank in connection with any actual or threatened claim or investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Agent or such Bank shall be designated a party thereto) relating to or arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or any actual or proposed use of proceeds therefrom and regardless of whether any such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Obligors, any of their directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnitee or any other Person; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for (i) its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) any act or omission to act by such Indemnitee in contravention of any law or regulation applicable to such Person.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Obligors shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Fronting L/C Issuer, the Several L/C Agent or any Bank, and each Related Party of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a “Bank-Related Person”), on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or the Transactions.

Section 9.04 Sharing of Set-Offs. Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then due with respect to any Loan or Unreimbursed Amounts held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then due with respect to any Loan held by such other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase such participations in the Loans or L/C Obligations, as the case may be, held by the other Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loans and Unreimbursed Amounts held by the Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section shall (i) impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of any Borrower (other than the Loans) nor (ii) be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Bank) or (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.16. Each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Bank acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 9.05 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Subject to Section 8.01(b) and Section 8.01(c), any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by each Obligor and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, Several L/C Agent or Fronting L/C Issuer are affected thereby, by then the Administrative Agent, Several L/C Agent or Fronting L/C Issuer respectively); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall:

(i) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks), unless signed by such Bank;

(ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan, any Unreimbursed Amount or any fees hereunder, unless signed by each Bank affected thereby;

(iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan, any Unreimbursed Amount or any fees hereunder or postpone the date for any reduction or termination of any Commitment, unless signed by each Bank affected thereby;

(iv) alter the manner in which payments or prepayments of principal, interest or other amounts hereunder shall be applied as among the Banks and the types of Loans, unless signed by each Bank;

101

(v) change the provisions of this Section or change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, unless signed by each Bank;

(vi) release any Borrower from its obligations hereunder with respect to Letters of Credit for which any Subsidiary is named as an applicant hereunder, unless signed by each Bank; or

(vii) change Section 2.09(b) in a manner that would alter ratable reduction of Commitments, unless signed by each Bank.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Bank shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Bank or each affected Bank may be effected with the consent of the applicable Banks other than Defaulting Banks), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Bank may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Bank and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank that by its terms affects any Defaulting Bank more adversely than other affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Bank.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Obligors (x) to add one or more credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Banks holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Banks and Banks.

(c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Bank” or “each Bank affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Banks is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Banks is not obtained (any such Bank whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Bank”), then the Obligors may, at their sole expense and effort, elect to replace a Non-Consenting Bank as a Bank party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Obligors and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Bank pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Bank for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Bank to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (c) of Section 9.05, (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Bank in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Bank by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Bank under Sections 2.15 and 8.03, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Bank on the day of such replacement under Section 2.13 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Bank been prepaid

102

on such date rather than sold to the replacement Bank and (iii) such Non-Consenting Bank shall have received the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and participations in Unreimbursed Amounts. Each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by PFI, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (ii) the Bank required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Bank, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Administrative Agent and the Obligors acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Obligors shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

Section 9.06 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Banks.

(b) Any Bank may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (other than a Defaulting Bank) (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to PFI and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder including the right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 9.05 without the consent of the Participant. Subject to Section 9.06(e), each Obligor agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits and be subject to the obligations of Article 8 and Section 2.15 with respect to its participating interest (it being understood that the documentation required under section 2.15(f) shall be delivered to the participating Bank). An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by Section 9.06(c) or 9.06(d) shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this paragraph (b).

103

Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Obligors, 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, Letters of Credit or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or other obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c) Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more assignees (each an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including its Loans and its interests in Letters of Credit) with (and subject to) the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of:

(A) PFI; provided that no consent of PFI shall be required for an assignment to (I) a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund or (II) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and provided, further, that PFI shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment requiring its consent under this clause (A) if it fails to object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after (x) receipt of notice thereof by an officer of PFI that has been designated in writing by PFI to the Administrative Agent for this purpose (or, failing any such designation, by the treasurer or chief financial officer of PFI) and (y) confirmation of such receipt by PFI in writing or by telephone, fax or other electronic communication to the Administrative Agent;

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

(C) each Fronting L/C Issuer; provided that no consent of any Fronting L/C Issuer shall be required (x) for an assignment to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund or (y) if an Event of Default occurs with respect to any Borrower under Sections 6.01(g) or (h) and such Fronting L/C Issuer has no outstanding Letters of Credit at such time.

Assignments shall be subject to the following conditions:

104

(I) except in the case of an assignment to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s applicable Commitment, the amount of such Commitment of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $20,000,000 unless PFI (except if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld);

(II) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(III) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(IV) the assignee, if it shall not be a Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Obligors and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; and

(V) no such assignment shall be made to (w) the Obligors or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (x) any Defaulting Bank or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Bank hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this subclause (x), (y) a natural person or a corporation, limited liability company, trust or other entity owned, operated or established for the primary benefit of a natural person and/or family members or relatives of such person or (z) any Person which is a Non-NAIC Approved Bank (unless such Non-NAIC Approved Bank shall have in effect a Confirming Bank Agreement or Limited Fronting Bank Agreement, in each case, with a Person or Bank, as applicable, which is a NAIC Approved Bank).

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03).

105

If the Assignee is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, and not otherwise treated as a U.S. person for federal income tax purposes, it shall, prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for its account, deliver to PFI and the Administrative Agent certifications as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 2.15.

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested, or drawings under a Letter of Credit, not funded by the Defaulting Bank, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent or any Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(d) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including to a Federal Reserve Bank, provided that any foreclosure or similar action taken with respect to such assignment to any Person other than a Federal Reserve Bank shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.06(c); provided, further, that any purported assignment by a Bank that is not in compliance with this paragraph (d) shall be null and void. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder.

(e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with PFI’s prior consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02 or 8.03 requiring such Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

(f) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Obligors, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, and the Letters of Credit issued by, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is

106

recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Bank as a Defaulting Bank. The Register shall be available for inspection by PFI and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Bank and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Bank hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (c) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Bank or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.18(c), 2.18(k) or 7.08, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

Section 9.07 Collateral. Each of the Banks represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any Margin Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

Section 9.08 Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement, the PICA Support Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 9.01), certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on

Section 9.11 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Obligors herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Credit Extensions, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Bank may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any Credit Extension is made hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other Obligation payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.15, 8.03 and 9.03 and Article 7 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the payment of the Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Commitments and the Letters of the Credit or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that the Information may be disclosed (a) to its affiliates’ and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors who are directly involved in the consideration of this Agreement (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement in writing containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section and for the benefit of the Obligors, to (i) any Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Obligors and their obligations or (iii) any credit insurance provider relating to the Obligors and their Obligations, (g) with the consent of PFI or (h) to the

109

extent such Information (1) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (2) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Banks on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Obligors. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Obligors relating to the Obligors or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Obligors; provided that, in the case of information received from Obligors after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. In connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information regarding the closing date, size, type, purpose of, and parties to this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Banks.

EACH BANK ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING PARAGRAPH FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE OBLIGORS AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY A BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE OBLIGORS AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH BANK REPRESENTS TO THE OBLIGORS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 9.12 shall prohibit any Person from voluntarily disclosing or providing any Information within the scope of this confidentiality provision to any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization (any such entity, a “Regulatory Authority”) to the extent that any such prohibition on disclosure set forth in this Section 9.12 shall be prohibited by the laws or regulations applicable to such Regulatory Authority

Section 9.13 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Bank hereby notifies the Obligors that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Obligors, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of the Obligors and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Obligors in accordance with said Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and other applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations.

Section 9.14 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

(a) Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to such Obligor with respect to the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated herein and therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, such Obligor or any other person. Each Obligor agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising such Obligor as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. Each Obligor shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Loan Documents, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to any Obligor with respect thereto.

(b) Each Obligor further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with its Affiliates, in addition to providing or participating in commercial lending facilities such as that provided hereunder, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, such Obligor, its Subsidiaries and other companies with which such Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

(c) In addition, each Obligor acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its Affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which such Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from any Obligor by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with such Obligor in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. Each Obligor also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to such Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, confidential information obtained from other companies.

111

Section 9.15 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Obligors is made to the Administrative Agent, the Several L/C Agent, any Fronting L/C Issuer or any Bank, or the Administrative Agent, the Several L/C Agent, any Fronting L/C Issuer or any Bank exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Several L/C Agent, such Fronting L/C Issuer or such Bank in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Bank severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Banks under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.16 Termination of PFLLC as a Borrower. PFI may, at any time (i) at which there shall be no Loans outstanding to PFLLC or (ii) after PICA shall have executed and delivered a PICA Assumption Agreement, upon notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, executed on behalf of PICA and PFLLC and substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, terminate PFLLC as a Borrower hereunder. Immediately upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, all commitments of the Banks to make Loans to PFLLC, and all rights of PFLLC hereunder, shall terminate and PFLLC shall immediately cease to be a Borrower hereunder; provided that, unless PICA shall have executed and delivered a PICA Assumption Agreement, all obligations of PFLLC as a Borrower hereunder arising in respect of any period in which PFLLC was, or on account of any action or inaction by PFLLC as, a Borrower hereunder shall survive such termination and if PICA shall have executed and delivered a PICA Assumption Agreement, the liability of PFLLC (but not of PICA) with respect to such obligations shall terminate.

Section 9.17 Effect of Amendment and Restatement. On the Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether executed and delivered in connection herewith or otherwise, do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing, or termination of the obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date, which remain outstanding and (ii) such obligations are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby).

Section 9.18 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

112

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

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

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

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

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

Section 9.19 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Derivatives Obligations or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

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

113

Section 9.20 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Bank holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated by the Administrative Agent and the interest and Charges payable to such Bank in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the NYFRB Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Bank.

Section 9.21 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of any Obligor in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Bank hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Bank from any Obligor in the Agreement Currency, such Obligor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Bank in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the applicable Obligor (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
