WHEREAS, the Borrower has advised the Agent that the MLP intends to refinance its 1.5 lien senior secured notes due February 29, 2024 (the “1.5 Lien Notes”) and its second lien senior secured notes due February 28, 2025 (the “Second Lien Notes”, and together with the 1.5 Lien Notes, the “Existing Notes”) in the form of new second lien senior secured notes in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $400,000,000 (the “New Second Lien Notes”, and such transactions contemplated to effect such refinancing, the “Notes Refinancing”) to be issued substantially concurrently with the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested, and the Agent and the L/C Issuers have agreed, that the Persons signatory to this Agreement under the caption “New Lenders” (each, a “New Lender”, and collectively, the “New Lenders”) each become a Lender under the Credit Agreement with a Commitment in the amount as shown for such New Lenders on Schedule 2.01 to the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Exiting Lenders signatory to this Agreement under the caption “Exiting Lenders” (each, an “Exiting Lender”, and collectively, the “Exiting Lenders”, and together with the Existing Lenders and the New Lenders, the “Lenders”) have elected not to remain as lenders following the Restatement Effective Date, and, as a result thereof, the Borrower has agreed to pay the Exiting Lenders all principal, interest, fees and other charges owed to the Exiting Lenders under the Loan Documents subject to the terms and conditions hereof;

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Agent and the Lenders agree to enter into this Agreement on the date hereof to, among other things, evidence the Lenders’ consent to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety with that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among the Loan Parties, the Lenders (other than the Exiting Lenders) and the Agent, as set forth in Annex A hereto (the Existing Credit Agreement as so amended and restated, the “Credit Agreement”), with such terms contained therein to be effective as of the Restatement Effective Date (as defined below).

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

5

SECTION 8. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. The provisions of Section 10.15 and Section 10.16 of the Existing Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if such Section 10.15 and Section 10.16 were set forth herein in their entirety.

SECTION 9. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except the Loan Parties may not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent.

SECTION 10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

Upon the occurrence of the Restatement Effective Date, the Credit Agreement shall supersede and replace the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety, as an amendment and restatement thereof, as provided therein and, upon its effectiveness, as provided in the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 12. Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

SECTION 13. Reaffirmation of Loan Documents; No Novation. Each Loan Party hereby (a) reaffirms and agrees that, subject to the last sentence of Section 11, each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed on the Restatement Effective Date, (b) reaffirms and confirms its guarantee under the Existing Credit Agreement as a continuing guarantee under the Credit Agreement and its pledge and/or grant of a security interest in the Collateral to secure the Obligations under the Collateral Documents, with all such security interests continuing in full force and effect after giving effect to this Agreement and (c) acknowledges and agrees that from and after the Restatement Effective Date the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and all the Collateral shall continue to secure the Obligations under the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 15. Entire Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, in addition to the payments of principal, reallocations, adjustments and other actions contemplated under the Credit Agreement and this Section 16, the Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) all interest, fees and other charges owed to the Exiting Lenders under the Loan Documents as of the Restatement Effective Date, including without limitation in connection with the payment in full of the Committed Loans held by, and the termination in full of all Commitments of, such Exiting Lenders contemplated hereby.

SECTION 17. New Lenders. Subject to the occurrence of the Restatement Effective Date, each of the New Lenders hereby joins in, becomes a party to, and agrees to comply with and be bound by the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder and under each and every other Loan Document to which any Lender is required to be bound by the Credit Agreement, to the same extent as if such New Lender were an original signatory thereto. The New Lenders hereby appoint and authorize the Agent to take such actions as the Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Existing Eurodollar Rate Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby), all “Eurodollar Rate Loans” (under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding immediately prior to the Restatement Effective Date shall, on the Restatement Effective Date, be rearranged and converted into a new SOFR Loan Borrowing consisting of SOFR Loans with an Interest Period of one-month’s duration (commencing on the Restatement Effective Date), and which SOFR Loans shall thereafter be subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. In connection with such conversion, (i) the Borrower shall deliver any such Borrowing Notice as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (ii) the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any breakage fees that otherwise would be owed pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Existing Credit Agreement; provided however, that any Existing Lender may waive such breakage fees owed to it at their sole discretion.

The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Section 1.08 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.

ARTICLE II

THE COMMITMENTS AND BORROWINGS

Section 2.01 Commitments. Subject to and in reliance upon the terms, conditions, representations and warranties in the Loan Documents, each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make Loans to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Restatement Effective Date to the Maturity Date (the “Availability Period”), in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time an amount that would result in (A) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment or (B) the total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the total Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow the Loans; provided, that, each Borrowing must occur on a Business Day and no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.

Section 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other and each continuation of Loans as the same Type shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable (except as expressly provided otherwise in Section 3.02 with respect to SOFR Loans) notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR

43

Loans, and (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to the conversion of SOFR Loans to ABR Loans, or, except as set forth in clause (f) below with respect to Same-Day Borrowings, one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of ABR Loans. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Loans as the same Type, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Borrowing Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made or continued as, or converted to, ABR Loans. Any such automatic conversion to ABR Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable SOFR Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of SOFR Loans in any such Borrowing Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b) Following receipt of a Borrowing Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its Applicable Percentage thereof, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to ABR Loans described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 noon, New York, New York time (or as set forth in clause (f) below with respect to Same-Day Borrowings), on the Business Day specified in the applicable Borrowing Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.01, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of RBC with the amount of such funds, or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date of the Borrowing there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, to the Borrower as provided above.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a SOFR Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of the Interest Period for such SOFR Loan. During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as SOFR Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding SOFR Loans be converted immediately to ABR Loans.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any SOFR Loan upon determination of such interest rate. The determination by the Administrative Agent of Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

44

(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than six (6) Interest Periods in effect at any given time with respect to Loans.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.02, the Borrower may request Borrowings of Loans bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate and not to exceed $10,000,000, on a same-day basis, by delivery of a Borrowing Notice as set forth in clause (a) above to the Administrative Agent by no later than 11:00 a.m. New York, New York time (each, a “Same-Day Borrowing”). Following receipt of a Borrowing Notice with respect to a Same-Day Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office by no later than 2:00 p.m., New York, New York time.

Section 2.03 Prepayments.

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay in whole or in part Loans without premium or penalty; provided, that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York, New York time, (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of SOFR Loans, and (B) one (1) Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of ABR Loans; (ii) any prepayment of SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of ABR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each such notice (x) shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and (y) may be revocable and condition such prepayment on the closing of a refinancing or transaction permitted hereunder, the proceeds of which shall be used to prepay the Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a SOFR Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.04. Prepayments provided for in this Section 2.03(a)(i) shall be applied as follows: (x) first, as a payment of all L/C Borrowings then outstanding, until paid in full, and (y) second, as the Borrower may direct (subject to clause (d) below).

Unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would arise as a result thereof, any payment or prepayment of Loans may be reborrowed by the Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments from Net Cash Proceeds.

45

(i) Dispositions.

(A) If any portion of the Net Cash Proceeds realized by a Loan Party from any Triggering Disposition (other than a Casualty or Condemnation Disposition) (including any deferred purchase price therefor) has not been Reinvested within one-hundred eighty (180) days from the receipt by such Loan Party of such Net Cash Proceeds (including receipt of any deferred payments for any such Triggering Disposition or portion thereof, if and when received), then on or before the first Business Day following such one-hundred eightieth (180th) day the Loans shall be prepaid in an amount equal to the portion of the Reduction Amount that is not so Reinvested.

(B) If any portion of the Net Cash Proceeds realized by a Loan Party from any Casualty or Condemnation Disposition that constitutes a Triggering Disposition has not been Reinvested within one (1) year from the receipt by such Loan Party of such Net Cash Proceeds (including receipt of any deferred payments for any such Triggering Disposition or portion thereof, if and when received), then on or before the first Business Day following such one (1) year period the Loans shall be prepaid in an amount equal to the portion of the Reduction Amount that is not so Reinvested.

(C) Net Cash Proceeds of a Disposition that equal, when aggregated with Net Cash Proceeds of all Dispositions since the Restatement Effective Date, an amount less than the Threshold Amount shall not be required to be used for mandatory prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.03(b)(i), and to the extent Net Cash Proceeds of a Disposition equal, when aggregated with Net Cash Proceeds of all Dispositions since the Restatement Effective Date, an amount in excess of the Threshold Amount, only Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the Threshold Amount shall be required to be used for mandatory prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.03(b)(i).

(D) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (A) and clause (B) above, the applicable Loan Party shall have an additional one-hundred twenty (120) days after the dates referenced in such clauses to make the mandatory prepayments required therein so long as such Loan Party has begun construction or entered into a purchase agreement with respect to the applicable replacement asset prior to such date.

(ii) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. If no Default or Event of Default exists, the mandatory prepayments provided for in this Section 2.03(b) shall be applied first, as a payment of all Unreimbursed Amounts then outstanding until paid in full, and second, as a repayment of Outstanding Amount of the Loans, but in each case without a corresponding reduction of the Commitments.

(c) Mandatory Payments/Reductions.

(i) If for any reason the total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the total Commitments, then the Borrower shall prepay the Borrowings and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess within three (3) Business Days of such excess occurring.

46

(d) Prepayments: Interest/Consequential Loss. All prepayments under this Section 2.03 shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and any amounts due under Section 3.04.

(e) Pro Rata Treatment. Each prepayment under this Section 2.03 shall be applied to the Loans of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage.

(f) If, on the last Business Day of each week, the Loan Parties have Excess Cash on such day, the Borrower shall repay the Loans in an amount equal to such Excess Cash on the first (1st) Business Day of the following week and such payment shall not result in a permanent reduction of the Commitments.

Section 2.04 Reduction or Termination of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate or permanently reduce the Commitments to an amount not less than the Revolving Credit Exposure; provided, that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. New York, New York time, five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such termination or reduction, and (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $500,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Any such notice may be revocable and condition such termination or reduction of the Commitments on the closing of a refinancing or transaction permitted hereunder, the proceeds of which shall be used to prepay the Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of such reduction or termination. Once reduced in accordance with this Section 2.04, the Commitments may not be increased, except as provided in Section 2.13. Any reduction of the Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All commitment fees on the portion of the Commitments so terminated which have accrued to the effective date of any termination of Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

Section 2.05 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding on such date.

Section 2.06 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) below, (i) each SOFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate, and (ii) each ABR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Borrower shall pay interest on all past due amounts at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate, but in no event to exceed the Maximum Rate. Accrued and unpaid interest on such past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

47

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(d) If the designated rate applicable to any Borrowing exceeds the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest on such Borrowing shall be limited to the Maximum Rate, but any subsequent reductions in such designated rate shall not reduce the rate of interest thereon below the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest accrued thereon equals the amount of interest which would have accrued thereon if such designated rate had at all times been in effect. In the event that at maturity (stated or by acceleration), or at final payment of the Outstanding Amount of any Loans, or L/C Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued is less than the amount of interest which would have accrued if such designated rates had at all times been in effect, then, at such time and to the extent permitted by Law, the Borrower shall pay an amount equal to the difference between (i) the lesser of the amount of interest which would have accrued if such designated rates had at all times been in effect and the amount of interest which would have accrued if the Maximum Rate had at all times been in effect, and (ii) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued on such Outstanding Amount.

(e) In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

Section 2.07 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (except for any Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the Commitments exceed the Revolving Credit Exposure. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times from the Restatement Effective Date until the Maturity Date and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date, and on the Maturity Date. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met.

(b) Arrangers’ and Agency Fees. The Borrower shall pay certain fees to the Arrangers their respective accounts in the amounts and at the times specified in (i) the letter agreement, dated January 23, 2023 (the “RBC Fee Letter”), between the Borrower and RBC and (ii) the letter agreement, dated January 23, 2023 (the “Engagement Letter”; the Engagement Letter and the RBC Fee Letter, collectively, the “Agent/Arranger Fee Letters”), among the Borrower and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. The fees referenced in this clause (b) shall be fully earned when paid and shall be nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever.

48

(c) Lenders’ Upfront Fee. On the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage, an upfront fee in the agreed amount in accordance with the Engagement Letter. Such upfront fees are for the credit facilities by the applicable Lenders under this Agreement and are fully earned on the date paid. The upfront fee paid to each Lender is solely for its own account and is nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever.

Section 2.08 Computation of Interest and Fees. Computation of interest on ABR Loans (solely to the extent determined with respect to the Administrative Agent’s prime commercial lending rate in accordance with clause (b) of the definition thereof) shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. Computation of all other types of interest and all fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed, which results in a higher yield to the payee thereof than a method based on a year of 365 or 366 days. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided, that, any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one (1) day. The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and be binding upon the parties hereto.

Section 2.09 Evidence of Debt.

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

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in clause (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control.

49

Section 2.10 Payments Generally.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon, New York, New York time, on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon, New York, New York time, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b) Subject to the definition of “Interest Period”, if any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) If no Default or Event of Default exists and if no order of application is otherwise specified in the Loan Documents, payments and prepayments of the Obligations shall be applied first to fees, second to accrued interest then due and payable on the Outstanding Amount of Loans and L/C Obligations, and then to the remaining Obligations in the order and manner as Borrower may direct.

(d) Unless the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has timely made such payment in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Lenders or the L/C Issuers entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then each Lender and each L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as applicable in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of SOFR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of ABR Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at

50

(i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(f) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(g) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.

(h) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

Section 2.11 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in the L/C Obligations, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them, and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loan or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of

51

participations purchased under this Section 2.11 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

Section 2.12 Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuers agree, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.12, (1)from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Restatement Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with clause (b) below, and (2) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit, and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, that, no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in, any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension, the Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the total Commitments under the Facility, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, would exceed such Lender’s Commitment under the Facility, or (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(ii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any 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 L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally

52

or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Restatement Effective Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Restatement Effective Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer; or

(C) the issuance of the Letter of Credit by such L/C Issuer would exceed the L/C Sublimit applicable to such L/C Issuer.

(iii) An L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) subject to Section 2.12(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date;

(B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

(C) such Letter of Credit is in a face amount less than $100,000, or is to be used for a purpose other than as described in Section 6.12 or is denominated in a currency other than Dollars.

(iv) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend a Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Evergreen Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York, New York time, at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as such L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. 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 such L/C Issuer (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the amount thereof, (C) the expiry date thereof, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof,

53

(E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, and (G) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may 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 L/C Issuer (w) the Letter of Credit to be amended, (x) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day), (y) the nature of the proposed amendment, and (z) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the applicable L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, an L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”); provided, that, any such Evergreen Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve (12) month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve (12) month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if it has received notice on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Nonrenewal Notice Date (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal, or (B) from any Lender stating that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.01 is not then satisfied and directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such renewal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an L/C Issuer shall have no obligation to permit the renewal of any Evergreen Letter of Credit at any time.

54

(iv) Promptly, 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 L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. If a payment is made by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York, New York time, on the date such payment under such Letter of Credit is made (the “Honor Date”), if the Borrower shall have received notice of such payment prior to 10:00 a.m., New York, New York time, on the Honor Date, or if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on the Honor Date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York, New York time, on (A) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York, New York time, on the day of receipt, or (B) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt. Any such reimbursement by the Borrower which is made after the Honor Date shall be made together with interest on the amount disbursed from and including the Honor Date until payment in full of such disbursed amount, at a varying rate per annum equal to the then applicable interest rate for ABR Loans through the date that payment is due to be made pursuant to this Section, and thereafter, at the Default Rate applicable to ABR Loans.

If the Borrower fails to so reimburse an L/C Issuer by the time required by the terms of this clause (i), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of ABR Loans to be disbursed in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of ABR Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the total Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 (other than the delivery of a Borrowing Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.12(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) Each Lender (including each Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.12(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 2:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer.

55

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of ABR Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.12(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.12.

(iv) Until each Lender funds its Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.12(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.12(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 Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12(c) by the time specified in Section 2.12(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), 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 such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of an L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.12(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.12(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), or any payment of interest thereon, the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

56

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.12(c)(i) is required to be returned, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage 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 Lender, 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 Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuers for each drawing under each Letter of Credit, and to repay each L/C Borrowing and each drawing under a Letter of Credit that is refinanced by a Borrowing of Loans, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower 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), an L/C Issuer 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 an L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or any payment made by an L/C Issuer 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; or

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

57

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no L/C Issuer 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. No Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of an L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower 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 the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. No Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of an L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clause (i) through clause (v) of Section 2.12(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and an L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s 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 a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible 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) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if an L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing that has not been repaid in full, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then-Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount). In addition, at any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(xii) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender).

58

(iii) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the obligations to which Cash Collateral may be applied. 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 and the L/C Issuers as herein provided (other than Permitted Liens), the Borrower 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 (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(iv) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.12(g) or Section 2.14 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(v) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce an L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.12(g) following (A) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (B) the determination by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, that, subject to Section 2.14, the Person providing Cash Collateral and such L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(vi) Adjustment. If at any time any L/C Obligations with respect to which Cash Collateral has been provided by the Borrower are able to be reallocated pursuant to Section 2.14(a)(xii) or are also Cash Collateralized by a Defaulting Lender, then, if and to the extent the amount of such excess Cash Collateral provided by the Borrower exceeds $100,000, the Collateral Agent shall promptly return such excess amount in full to the Borrower.

(h) Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. Subject to Section 2.14 at any time there is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued equal to the product of the Applicable Rate times the actual daily undrawn amount under each Letter of Credit. Such fee for each Letter of Credit shall be due and payable in arrears on the

59

last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily undrawn amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account an annual fronting fee in an amount with respect to each Letter of Credit issued equal to the greater of (i) $500 or (ii) 1/4 of 1% per annum calculated on the daily undrawn face amount thereof. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such fees and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

Section 2.13 Increase in Commitments.

(a) Request for Increase. Provided no Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may request an increase in the total Commitments by an additional amount not exceeding $50,000,000; provided, that, any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount such that the aggregate amount for all such increases do not exceed $50,000,000). The Borrower may request that one or more Lenders agree to increase its or their Commitment. In addition, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuers (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to joinder agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Effective Date and Allocations. No Lender’s Commitment may be increased without its written agreement to such increase. If the Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (such date, “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(c) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to each increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such Loan Documents (or amendments thereto), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to reflect such increase (including, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, one or more supplements to the Vessel Mortgages reflecting such increase), together with a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by each such Loan Party approving or consenting to the increased

60

Commitments (or certifying as to resolutions previously certified to the Administrative Agent and such resolutions include such approval of or consent to such increased Commitments), and (ii) in the case of the Borrower and the MLP, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increased Commitments, (A) the representations and warranties of the Borrower and the MLP contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. On the Increase Effective Date, (x) the Commitments shall be increased and (y) each Lender increasing its Commitment and each additional Lender, as applicable, shall purchase a portion of the outstanding Loans (and participation interests in Letters of Credit) of each of the other Lenders (and such Lenders hereby agree to sell and to take all such further action to effectuate such sale) such that each Lender (including any additional Lender, if applicable) shall hold its Applicable Percentage of the outstanding Loans (and participation interests) after giving effect to the increase in the Commitments. The Borrower shall pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.

(d) Conflicting Provisions. This Section 2.13 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.11 or Section 10.01 to the contrary.

Section 2.14 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and as set forth in Section 10.01(a).

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(iii) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

(iv) second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuers hereunder;

(v) third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.12(g);

61

(vi) fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;

(vii) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement, and (B) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.12(g);

(viii) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the L/C Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or L/C Issuer against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;

(ix) seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and

(x) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender 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 4.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Advances owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Advances owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the Facility without giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(xii). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.14(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(xi) Certain Fees.

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees pursuant to Section 2.12(i) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.12(g).

62

(C) With respect to any such Letter of Credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrower shall (I) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Advances that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (xii) below, (II) pay to the applicable L/C Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent of such L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure, and (III) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee to the extent the Borrower has Cash Collateralized outstanding L/C Obligations.

(xii) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage but only to the extent that (A) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (B) such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to Section 10.21, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(xiii) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (xii) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize such L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.12(g).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, 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), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(xii)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

63

(c) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01 Taxes.

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

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

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (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 the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.07 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).

64

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(f)(ii)(A), Section 3.01(f)(ii)(B) and Section 3.01(f)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower:

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

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

65

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

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

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (1) a certificate substantially in the form of the applicable Exhibit E to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”), and (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, 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 Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

66

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

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

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), 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 clause (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 clause (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This clause (g) 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) For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “Lender” includes each L/C Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

Section 3.02 Changed Circumstances.

(a) Circumstances Affecting Benchmark Availability. Subject to subsection (c) below, in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted Term SOFR for the applicable Interest

67

Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan on or prior to the first day of such Interest Period or (ii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Adjusted Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (ii), at the instruction of the Supermajority Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts, if any, required pursuant to Section 2.03(b).

(b) Laws Affecting SOFR Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective lending offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective lending offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any SOFR Loan, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders as soon as reasonably practicable. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to a SOFR Loan or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan, shall be suspended and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, in each case until each such affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all affected SOFR Loans to ABR Loans (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts, if any, required pursuant to Section 2.03(b).

68

(c) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.02(c)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.02(c)(iv). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.02(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.02(c).

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such

69

unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to ABR Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. 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.

Section 3.03 Increased Costs.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.03(e)) or any L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clause (b) through clause (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; or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

70

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or L/C Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) above and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.

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

(e) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Dollar-denominated or deposits additional costs on the unpaid principal amount of each SOFR Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided, that, the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.

71

Section 3.04 Funding Losses. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan into an ABR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.06, then, in any such event, upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall compensate such Lender for the loss, cost and expense (including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds or from any fees payable) attributable to, or as a consequence of, such event. In the case of a SOFR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted Term SOFR that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (y) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the SOFR market.

A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.04, and reasonably detailed calculations therefor, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.

Section 3.05 Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.

(a) A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.03, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.03, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

72

Section 3.06 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.03, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender (as defined below in this Section 3.06), or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that:

(a) the Borrower or the assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.07(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.01 and Section 3.03) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.03 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. In the event that (x) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent requests that the Lenders consent to a waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (y) such consent or amendment requires the agreement of all of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01, and (z) at least the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent or amendment, then any Lender that does not agree to such consent or amendment shall be a “Non-Consenting Lender”.

Section 3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all the other Obligations.

ARTICLE IV

ARTICLE IX

AGENTS

Section 9.01 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent; Lender Hedging Agreements.

(a) Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 9.10) appoints, designates and authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Swap Parties and the L/C Issuers, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall either the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (i) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided, that, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (ii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their respective Affiliates in any capacity.

(c) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time (and except for so long) as the Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Required Lenders to act for the applicable L/C Issuer with respect thereto; provided, however, that each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article IX included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to an L/C Issuer.

(d) To the extent any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender is a party to a Lender Hedging Agreement and accepts the benefits of the Liens in the Collateral arising pursuant to the Collateral Documents, such Lender (for itself and on behalf of any such Affiliates) shall be deemed (i) to appoint RBC, as its nominee and agent, to act for and on behalf of such Lender or Affiliate thereof in connection with the Collateral Documents, and (ii) to be bound by the terms of this Article IX.

Section 9.02 Delegation of Duties. Either the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

107

Section 9.03 Default.

(a) Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, the Lenders agree to promptly confer in order that Required Lenders, or the Lenders, as the case may be, may agree upon a course of action for the enforcement of the rights of the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action (without incurring any liability to any Person for so refraining) unless and until the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as appropriate, shall have received instructions from Required Lenders. All rights of action under the Loan Documents and all right to the Collateral, if any, hereunder may be enforced by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and any suit or proceeding instituted by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in furtherance of such enforcement shall be brought in its name as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, without the necessity of joining as plaintiffs or defendants any other Lender, and the recovery of any judgment shall be for the benefit of the Lenders (and, with respect to Lender Hedging Agreements, Lender Swap Parties) subject to the expenses of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent. In actions with respect to any property of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is acting for the ratable benefit of each Lender (and, with respect to Lender Hedging Agreements, Lender Swap Parties). Any and all agreements to subordinate (whether made heretofore or hereafter) other indebtedness or obligations of the Borrower to the Obligation shall be construed as being for the ratable benefit of each Lender (and, with respect to Lender Hedging Agreements, Lender Swap Parties).

(b) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders (and, with respect to Lender Hedging Agreement, Lender Swap Parties).

(c) Except to the extent unanimity (or other percentage set forth in Section 10.01) is required hereunder, each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the power set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders, and except to the extent unanimity (or other percentage set forth in Section 10.01) is required hereunder, each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the power set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.

(d) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

(e) Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists, is owned by any Loan Party, is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising any of the Rights granted or available to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in this Section 9.03 or in any of the Collateral Documents; it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission,

108

or event related thereto, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender, other than to act without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(f) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, at its option and discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) constituting property in which no Loan Party owned an interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter, (ii) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under the Loan Document or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by such Loan Party to be, renewed, and (iii) consisting of an instrument evidencing Indebtedness pledged to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders and the Lender Swap Parties), if the Indebtedness evidenced thereby has been paid in full. In addition, the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to release Liens upon Collateral as contemplated in Section 10.01(b) or Section 10.01(c), or if approved, authorized, or ratified in writing by the requisite Lenders. Upon request by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and/or the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.03.

(g) In furtherance of the authorizations set forth in this Section 9.03, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for and on behalf of and in the name of each such Lender, (i) to enter into Collateral Documents (including, without limitation, any appointments of substitute trustees under any Collateral Documents), (ii) to take action with respect to the Collateral and Collateral Documents to perfect, maintain and preserve the Liens securing the Obligations, and (iii) to execute instruments of release or to take other action necessary to release Liens upon any Collateral to the extent authorized in clause (f) hereof. This power of attorney shall be liberally, not restrictively, construed so as to give the greatest latitude to the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s power, as attorney, relative to the Collateral matters described in this Section 9.03. The respective powers and authorities herein conferred on the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may be exercised by each of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent through any Person who, at the time of the execution of a particular instrument, is an officer of such agent. The power of attorney conferred by this Section 9.03(g) is granted for valuable consideration and is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall remain unpaid or the Lenders are obligated to make any Loans under the Loan Documents.

Section 9.04 Liability of Administrative Agent. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent-Related Person shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.01 and Section 8.01), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly

109

set forth herein or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Company or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the creation, perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any of the Loan Documents, or the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of any collateral security, or to make any inquiry respecting the performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Company or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith of therewith, (c) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (d) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (e) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.

Section 9.05 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution), communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, made or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall believe is necessary pursuant to this Agreement) as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,

110

under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall believe is necessary pursuant to this Agreement), if required hereunder, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and participants. Where this Agreement expressly permits or prohibits an action unless the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall believe is necessary pursuant to this Agreement), otherwise determine, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall, and in all other instances, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be required to, initiate any solicitation for the consent or a vote of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

(b) In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.

Section 9.06 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

Section 9.07 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit

111

to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent herein, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

Section 9.08 Indemnification of Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person and L/C Issuer (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person and L/C Issuer from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person or L/C Issuer of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent-Related Person or such L/C Issuer; and provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any L/C Issuer in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or applicable L/C Issuer is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or any L/C Issuer.

Section 9.09 Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in their Individual Capacities. RBC and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in (any equity interests acquired shall be held by a RBC Affiliate) and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Companies and their respective Affiliates as though RBC were not the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or an L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, RBC or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Company or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Company or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, RBC shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or an L/C Issuer, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include RBC in its individual capacity.

112

Section 9.10 Successor Agents.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders with a copy of such notice to the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default. If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.03 and Section 10.13 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

(b) The Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders with a copy of such notice to the Borrower. If the Collateral Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor collateral agent for the Lenders which successor collateral agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor collateral agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.03 and Section 10.13 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under this Agreement. If no successor collateral agent has accepted appointment as Collateral Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

113

(c) If the Collateral Agent deems it necessary or advisable to appoint a substitute Collateral Agent that qualifies as citizen of the United States under Section 2 of the Shipping Act of 1916, as amended and then in effect, then the Collateral Agent shall appoint a substitute Collateral Agent. Each Lender that qualifies to serve as Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 9.10 agrees to accept appointment as Collateral Agent.

Section 9.11 Other Agents; Lead Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the cover page or signature pages to or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement as any type of agent (including, without limitation, the Syndication Agent, but excluding the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent), an Arranger, or otherwise identified as a lead arranger or bookrunner shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

Section 9.12 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party (any such Lender, L/C Issuer, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole reasonable discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Payment Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds (in the currency so received), the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

114

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous 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 Erroneous Payment (the “Payment Notice”), or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), then, said Payment Recipient shall be on notice, in each case, that an error has been made with respect to such Erroneous Payment. Each Payment Recipient agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Payment Recipient shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c) Each Payment Recipient hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under any of the immediately preceding clause (a) or clause (b) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), the Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount (including, without limitation, the right to sell and assign the Loans (or any portion thereof), which were subject to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, no assignment of an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency will reduce the Commitments of any Payment Recipient and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to the assignment of an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Payment Recipient under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency.

(e) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or L/C Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(b) Upon any sale, transfer or disposition of Collateral which is permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, and upon ten (10) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be determined by the Administrative Agent) prior written request by the Borrower (which request must be accompanied by (i) the following, except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, (A) true and correct copies of all material documents of transfer or disposition, including any contract of sale, (B) a preliminary closing statement and instructions to the title company, if any, (C) all requested release instruments in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), and (ii) if required, written consent of the requisite Lenders, the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as applicable) shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of Liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Lender Swap Parties pursuant hereto in such Collateral. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to execute any release instruments on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of liens without recourse or warranty. No such release shall impair the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s lien on the proceeds of sale of such Collateral.

(c) If all outstanding Loans and other Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments have terminated or have been reduced to zero, and, subject to Section 10.01(d) all Lender Hedging Agreement have terminated, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agrees to, and the Lenders hereby instruct the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to, at the Borrower’s expense, execute such releases of the

117

Collateral Documents as the Borrower shall reasonably request and this Agreement shall be deemed terminated except that such termination shall not relieve the Borrower of any obligation to make any payments to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender required by any Loan Document to the extent accruing, or relating to an event occurring, prior to such termination.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Commitments have been terminated, and the only outstanding Obligations are amounts owed pursuant to one or more Lender Hedging Agreements, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will, and is hereby authorized to, release the Liens created under the Loan Documents and release all Guaranties of the Borrower; provided, that, contemporaneously with such release, (i) the Borrower (and, if applicable, the Restricted Subsidiary that is a party to such Lender Hedging Agreements) (A) executes a margin agreement in form and substance acceptable to such Lender(s) (or its Affiliates) that are parties to such Lender Hedging Agreements (the “Lender Counterparties”), and (B) if required, provides collateral in the form of cash or a letter of credit having an aggregate value acceptable to such Lender Counterparties, and (ii) if such Lender Hedging Agreement is executed by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower and the Borrower and the MLP are not parties thereto, the Borrower and the MLP execute a guaranty covering such Restricted Subsidiary’s obligations thereunder, such guaranty to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender Counterparties. Any release under this Section 10.01(d) must be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent.

(e) The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or enter into any agreement or instrument to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or property to become collateral for the benefit of the Lenders and the Lender Swap Parties or as required by any Law to give effect to, protect or otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under the Loan Documents without the consent of any Lender or Lender Swap Party or L/C Issuer.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent of the Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document.

Section 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender, the Administrative Agent, or the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein or therein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Section 10.04 Attorney Costs; Expenses.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of the Borrower, the MLP and each other Guarantor (by execution of a Guaranty), jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Arranger, each Lender, each L/C Issuer, each Lender Swap Party and their respective Related Parties (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against the following: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party relating directly or indirectly to a claim, demand, action or cause of action that such Person asserts or may assert against any Loan Party, any Affiliate of any Loan Party or any of their respective officers or directors, arising out of or relating to, the Loan Documents, the Commitments, the use or contemplated use of the proceeds of any Loans, or the relationship of any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the L/C Issuers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action, whether brought by a third party or the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent, or the replacement of any Lender) be asserted or imposed against any Indemnitee, arising out of or relating to, the Loan Documents, the Commitments, the use or contemplated use of the proceeds of any Loans, or the relationship of any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the L/C Issuers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) without limiting the foregoing, any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action, judgments and orders, penalties and fines that are asserted or imposed against any Indemnitee, (i) under the application of any Environmental Law applicable to the MLP or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their properties or assets, including the treatment or disposal of Hazardous Substances on any of their properties or assets, (ii) as a result of the breach or non-compliance by the MLP or any Subsidiary with any Environmental Law applicable to the MLP or any Subsidiary, (iii) due to past ownership by the MLP or any Subsidiary of any of their properties or assets or past activity on any of their properties or assets which, though lawful and fully permissible at the time, could result in present liability, (iv) due to the presence, use, storage, treatment or disposal of Hazardous Substances on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission or Release from, any of the properties owned or operated by the MLP or any Subsidiary (including any liability asserted or arising under any Environmental Law), regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, the MLP or such Subsidiary, or (v) due to any other environmental, health or safety condition in connection with the Loan Documents; (d) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Authority arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clause (a) through clause (c) above; and (e) any and all liabilities (including liabilities under indemnities), losses, costs or expenses (including Attorney Costs and settlement costs) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, or as a result of the preparation of any defense in connection with any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, in all cases, WHETHER OR NOT ARISING OUT OF THE STRICT LIABILITY OR

121

NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE, and whether or not an Indemnitee is a party to such claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that, no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any claim to the extent such claim is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. The agreements in this Section shall survive and continue for the benefit of the Indemnitees at all times after the Borrower’s acceptance of the Lenders’ Commitments hereunder, and shall survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all the other Obligations.

Section 10.06 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off 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 or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief 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 set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share 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.

Section 10.07 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that none of the Borrower, the MLP or any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in clause (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, that, any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

122

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in Section 10.07(b)(i)(B) in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in Section 10.07(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principle balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 10.07(b)(i)(B) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(C) the consent of each L/C Issuer shall be required for any assignment of a Lender’s Commitment.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. 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; provided, that, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

123

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the MLP, the Borrower or any other Company, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B) or (C) a Disqualified Lender unless the Borrower consents in writing to such assignment; provided, that, other than maintaining and updating the list of Disqualified Lenders in accordance with the definition thereof or providing the list of Disqualified Lenders upon written request, (x) the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders and (y) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans to any Disqualified Lender.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Applicable Percentage of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer, and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Applicable Percentage 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 Lender 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 Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.03 and Section 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that,

124

except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (d) of this Section.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any other Lender, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Disqualified Lender or the MLP or Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided, that, (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (x) postpone any date upon which any payment of money is scheduled to be paid to such Participant, (y) reduce the principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to such Participant, or (z) release the MLP from its Guaranty. Subject to clause (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.03 and Section 3.04 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section; provided, that, such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.06 and Section 3.05 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section, and shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or Section 3.03, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a

125

Lender; provided, that, such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.10 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a Register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that, no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank; provided, that, no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f) If the consent of the Borrower to an assignment or to an Eligible Assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment threshold specified in clause (i) of the proviso to the first sentence of Section 10.07(b)), the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five (5) Business Days after the date notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower prior to such fifth (5th) Business Day.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any L/C Issuer assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to clause (b) above, such L/C Issuer may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of any L/C Issuer as L/C Issuer. Each resigning L/C Issuer shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.12(c)).

Section 10.08 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees that it will not disclose without the prior consent of the Borrower (other than to directors, officers, employees, auditors, accountants, agents, counsel or other professional advisors of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender) any Information (as defined below in this Section 10.08) with respect to any Company or any Martin Party that is furnished pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that, any Lender may disclose any such Information (a) (i) as has

126

become generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08, (ii) was or becomes available to any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure pursuant hereto, or (iii) is obtained by any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; provided, that, such source is not known to such Lender to be subject to an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such Information, (b) as may be requested in any report, statement or testimony submitted to or requested by any municipal, state or federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or submitted to or required by the Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States of America or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be required in response to any summons or subpoena in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (e) to any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; provided, that, such Eligible Assignee or Participant or prospective Eligible Assignee or Participant is bound by an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those contained in this Section 10.08, (f) in connection with the exercise of any remedy by such Lender following an Event of Default pertaining to the Loan Documents, (g) in connection with any litigation involving such Lender pertaining to the Loan Documents, (h) to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) to any Affiliate or any Related Party of any Lender (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and obligated to keep such Information confidential on the same terms as set forth in this Section 10.08), (j) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the MLP or its Subsidiaries or the Facility, or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Facility, or (k) subject to an agreement containing substantially the same provisions as this Section 10.08, any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to a Loan Party and its obligations.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the MLP, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries relating to the MLP, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Persons; provided, that, in the case of information received from the MLP, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries 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.

Section 10.09 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, now or hereafter

127

existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, that, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 10.10 Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with applicable usury laws; accordingly, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents securing the payment hereof or otherwise relating hereto, in no event shall this Agreement or such other Loan Documents require the payment or permit the payment, taking, reserving, receiving, collection or charging of any sums constituting interest under applicable laws, if any, which exceed the Maximum Amount. If any such excess interest is called for, contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received in connection with the Loans or in any of the Loan Documents securing the payment thereof or otherwise relating thereto, or in any communication by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any other person to the Borrower or any other Person, or in the event all or part of the principal or interest thereof shall be prepaid or accelerated, so that under any of such circumstances or under any other circumstance whatsoever the amount of interest contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received on the amount of principal actually outstanding from time to time pursuant to the Agreement shall exceed the Maximum Amount, then in any such event it is agreed as follows: (a) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control; (b) neither the Borrower nor any other Person or entity now or hereafter liable for the payment of the Obligations shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent such interest is in excess of the Maximum Amount; (c) any such excess which is or has been received notwithstanding this paragraph shall be credited against the then unpaid principal balance hereunder or, if the Loans have been or would be paid in full, refunded to the Borrower; and (d) the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents securing the payment hereof and otherwise relating hereto, and any communication to the Borrower, shall immediately be deemed reformed and such excess interest reduced, without the necessity of executing any other document, to the maximum lawful rate allowed under applicable laws as now or hereafter construed by courts having jurisdiction hereof or thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of the interest contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received in connection with the Loans or this Agreement which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful rate shall be made to the extent permitted by applicable laws by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading during the period of the full term of the Loans, including all prior and subsequent renewals and extensions, all interest at any time contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received. The terms of this Section shall be deemed to be incorporated in every document and communication relating to the Loans or any other Loan Document.

Section 10.11 Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by fax or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document and the words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import

128

in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic Platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, require that any such documents and signatures executed electronically or delivered by fax or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, that, the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature executed electronically or delivered by fax or other electronic transmission.

Section 10.12 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided, that, the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

Section 10.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

Section 10.14 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(b) Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that each Lender, the Arrangers and any Affiliate thereof may, subject to Section 10.08, lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any of the Borrower, the MLP, any Affiliate thereof or any other person or entity that may do business with or own securities of any of the foregoing, all as if such Lender, Arranger or Affiliate thereof were not a Lender or Arranger or an Affiliate thereof (or an agent or any other person with any similar role under the Facility) and without any duty to account therefor to any other Lender, the Arrangers, the MLP, the Borrower or any Affiliate of the foregoing.

Section 10.23 Acknowledgment Regarding Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract 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 United States or any state of the United States):

133

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 that such 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 the extent to which such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if such 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 the rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
