Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Term SOFR Rate shall be effective from and include the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Term SOFR Rate, respectively. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Alternate Base Rate as determined pursuant to the foregoing would be less than 0.00%, such rate shall be deemed to be 0.00% for purposes of this Agreement. If the Alternate Base Rate is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.07 (for the avoidance of doubt, only until the Benchmark Replacement has been determined pursuant to Section 2.07(b)), then the Alternate Base Rate shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above.

“Ancillary Document” shall have the meaning given such term in Section 8.11(b).

Section 2.07 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Unascertainable; Increased Costs. If the Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that:

(i) (A) the Term SOFR Rate cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof and (B) such inability to determine the Term SOFR Rate is temporary and not permanent; or

(ii) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Borrowing, the Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining the Term Loan included in the Borrowing for such Interest Period,

then the Lender shall give notice thereof (which may be by telephone) to the Borrower as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark, (A) any request for the Conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term SOFR Borrowing, and any Borrowing Request that requests a Term SOFR Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a request or a Borrowing Request, as applicable, for in the case of a request for a Term SOFR Borrowing, an ABR Borrowing and (B) if any Term SOFR Loan is outstanding on the day of the Borrower’s receipt of such notice from the Lender with respect to the relevant rate applicable to such Term Loan, then (1) such Term SOFR Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto Convert to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document (and any Hedging Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Credit Document” for purposes of this Section 2.07), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the Lender and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace such 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 fifthBusiness Day after the occurrence of the Benchmark Transition event and upon notice to the Borrower.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Lender will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit 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 Credit Document.

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (iv) below and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lender pursuant to this Section 2.07, 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 sole discretion and without consent from the Borrower except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.07.

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term 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 Lender in its reasonable discretion or (2) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Lender may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Lender may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time in order 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, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Term SOFR Loan, Conversion to or continuation of Term 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 for a Borrowing of, Conversion to or continuation of a Term SOFR Loan into a request for a Borrowing of or Conversion to ABR Loans. Furthermore, if any Term SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the relevant rate applicable to such Term Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.07(b), a Term SOFR Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Term Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), Convert to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan. 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 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 Alternate Base Rate.

Section 2.08 Prepayment.

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon giving a Prepayment Notice via e-mail or facsimile to the Lender: (i) before 12:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to prepayment, in the case of Term SOFR Loans and (ii) before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans; provided, however, that each partial

prepayment shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. Each Prepayment Notice shall be irrevocable, provided that any Prepayment Notice delivered in connection with any refinancing of the Term Loans with the proceeds of such refinancing or of any incurrence of Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition may be contingent upon the consummation of such refinancing or incurrence or occurrence of such other identifiable event or condition and may be revoked by the Borrower in the event such contingency is not met.

(b) No Re-borrowings. The principal amount of Term Loans prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.08 may not be re-borrowed.

(c) Application of Prepayments. Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.08 to the prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied, first, to reduce outstanding ABR Loans and, second, to reduce outstanding Term SOFR Loans on a ratable basis, unless otherwise directed by the Borrower. Each prepayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 8.05. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any prepayment of a Term SOFR Loan is required to be made under this Section 2.08 prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit with the Lender the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made hereunder until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Lender shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Term Loans in accordance with this Section 2.08.

Section 2.09 Increased Costs.

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

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

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

(iii) impose on the Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Term Loans made by the Lender or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making, Converting or maintaining any Term Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Term Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon request of the Lender, the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of the Lender, setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 2.09 and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to this Section 2.09 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 90 days prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 2.10 Change in Legality.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for the Lender to make or maintain any Term SOFR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Term SOFR Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower, the Lender may:

(i) declare that Term SOFR Loans will not thereafter be made by the Lender hereunder, whereupon any request for a Term SOFR Borrowing shall, as to the Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (the Lender delivering such a declaration hereby agreeing to withdraw such declaration promptly upon determining that such event of illegality no longer exists); and

(ii) require that all outstanding Term SOFR Loans made by it be Converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Term SOFR Loans shall be automatically Converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in subsection (b) below.

In the event the Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the Term SOFR Loans that would have been made by the Lender or the Converted Term SOFR Loans of the Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by the Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the Conversion of, such Term SOFR Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.10, a notice by the Lender shall be effective as to each Term SOFR Loan, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Term SOFR Loan, and in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt.

Section 2.11 [Reserved].

Section 2.12 [Reserved].

Section 2.13 Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder from an account in the United States not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in dollars to the Lender at its offices at U.S. Bank National Association, Attention: 209 S. LaSalle Street (MK-IL-RY3S), Chicago, Illinois 60604, or such other address or account as the Lender may from time to time notify the Borrower in writing, in immediately available funds. Each such payment shall be made without offset, deduction or counterclaim; provided that the foregoing shall not constitute a relinquishment or waiver of the Borrower’s rights to any independent claim that the Borrower may have against the Lender.

(b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, if applicable.

(c) If the Borrower shall default (after giving effect to any applicable grace period under paragraph (c) of Article VI) in the payment of any amount becoming due hereunder (other than the principal amount of any Term Loan), whether by scheduled maturity, notice of prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time from the Lender pay interest, to the fullest extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum equal to a rate of interest applicable to ABR Loans plus 2.00%.

Section 2.14 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Credit 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 the Borrower) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Borrower, then the Borrower 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 2.14) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, within 30 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 2.14) payable or paid by the Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Lender 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 the Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Lender for any accrued Indemnified Taxes under this Section 2.14(c) unless the Lender notifies the Borrower of such indemnification claim no later than 180 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the Lender receives from the relevant Governmental Authority written notice of the imposition of such Indemnified Taxes, and (ii) the date on which the Lender has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the Borrower’s obligation to indemnify the Lender for such Indemnified Taxes accrued after such earlier date if the Lender has given timely notice thereof to the Borrower under this Section 2.14(c); provided, further, that if the Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted giving rise to such claims are retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(d) IRS Form W-9. The Lender shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which the Lender becomes party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that the Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender 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 Lender.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.14 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 subsection (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 subsection (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive the replacement of the Lender or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, the Lender, the termination of the Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

Section 2.15 Mitigation Obligations.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If the Lender requests compensation under Section 2.09, delivers a notice pursuant to Section 2.10 or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or any additional amounts to the Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then the Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.14 or eliminate the illegality under Section 2.10, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) [Reserved].

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one (1) counsel to the Lender, one (1) local counsel and one (1) regulatory counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of an actual or potential conflict of interest, such additional counsel as the Lender determines in good faith is necessary in light of such actual or potential conflict of interest) incurred by the Lender in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement or in connection with any amendment, modification and waiver of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated).

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lender against any loss, calculated in accordance with the next sentence, or reasonable expense that the Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) any failure by the Borrower to borrow or to Convert any Term Loan hereunder (including as a result of the Borrower’s failure to fulfill any of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV) after notice of such Borrowing or Conversion has been given pursuant to Section 2.03, (ii) any payment, prepayment or Conversion of a Term SOFR Loan, or assignment of a Term SOFR Loan of the Borrower required by any other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.15) or otherwise made or deemed made, on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (iii) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Term Loan or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration, irrevocable notice of prepayment (including any notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.08(a) and revoked pursuant to the last sentence of such Section 2.08(a)) or otherwise) or (iv) the occurrence of any Event of Default, including, in each such case, any loss or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred by the Lender in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, or with respect to commitments made or obligations undertaken with third parties, to effect or maintain any Term Loan hereunder or any part thereof as a Term SOFR Loan. Such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by the Lender, of (x) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Term Loan being paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed (assumed to be the Term SOFR Rate for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, refinancing or failure to borrow or refinance to the last day of the Interest Period for such Term Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or Convert, the Interest Period for such Term Loan that would have commenced on the date of such failure)) over (y) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by the Lender) that would be realized by the Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid or not borrowed or Converted for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be.

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lender, each of its Affiliates, and the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of the foregoing (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all costs, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of one (1) counsel for all Indemnitees (unless in the good faith opinion of the Lender or such counsel, it would be inappropriate under applicable standards of legal professional conduct, due to an actual or potential conflict of interest, to have only one (1) counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee in connection with (i) the preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Extension of Credit or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, including any of the foregoing arising from the negligence, whether sole or concurrent, on the part of any Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) result from any litigation not involving an act or omission of the Borrower brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (unless such litigation relates to claims against the Lender, acting in such capacity); provided, further, that the Borrower agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, without the prior written consent of each Indemnitee, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought under the indemnification provisions of this subsection (c) (whether or not any Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, does not involve any payment of money or other value by any Indemnitee or any injunctive relief or factual findings or

stipulations binding on any Indemnitee and contains an unconditional release of each Indemnitee that could seek such indemnification under this subsection (c). It is understood that, with respect to any particular investigation, litigation or other proceeding subject to indemnification hereunder, the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse, or indemnify and hold harmless for, the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of more than one (1) outside counsel (in addition to one (1) local counsel and one (1) regulatory counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) for all Indemnitees that are the subject of such investigation, litigation or other proceeding, unless representation of all such Indemnitees in such matter by a single counsel would be inappropriate due to the existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest, in which case the Borrower shall be required to reimburse, and indemnify and hold harmless for, the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of such additional counsel as any Indemnitee determines in good faith are necessary in light of such actual or potential conflict of interest.

(d) Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under subsection (c) above, neither the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall have any liability for any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages resulting from this Agreement or any other Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of any Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties (as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

(e) The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Term Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lender. All amounts due under this Section 8.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

(f) A certificate of the Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that the Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to subsection (b) above and containing an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(g) The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

Section 8.06 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by the Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by the Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of the Lender under this Section 8.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Lender may have.

Section 8.07 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 8.08 Waivers; Amendment and Releases.

(a) No failure or delay of the Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Lender would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by subsection (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower or any Subsidiary in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Other than as set forth in Section 2.07, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Lender.

Section 8.10 Severability.

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 Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit 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.

“Senior Obligations” shall have the meaning given to the term “Obligations” in the Credit Agreement (and shall include, without limitation, all interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding at the rate provided in the governing documentation, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding).

“Subordination Agreement” shall mean a written agreement incorporating the terms and conditions of this Schedule 5.12 between Borrower and each Subordinated Lender to which any Subordinated Obligations are owed.

Section 2. Subordination. (a) The Subordinated Lender hereby agrees that all its right, title and interest in and to the Subordinated Obligations shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the rights of the Senior Lender in respect of the Senior Obligations, including the payment of principal, premium (if any), interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), fees, expense and reimbursement obligations, indemnification obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document, or in respect thereof.

(b) The Borrower and the Subordinated Lender hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any agreement governing or evidencing Subordinated Obligations, no payment (whether directly, by purchase, redemption or exercise of any rights of setoff or otherwise and whether mandatory or voluntary) in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, and whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made by or on behalf of the Borrower or received, accepted or demanded, directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of the Subordinated Lender at any time prior to the payment in full in cash of all of the Senior Obligations.

(c) Upon any distribution of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or receivership proceedings or otherwise, or upon any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Borrower, or otherwise:

(i) the Senior Lender shall first be entitled to receive indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations (whenever arising) before the Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to receive any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations of the Borrower, whether of principal, interest or otherwise; and

Schedule 5.12-1

(ii) any payment by, or on behalf of, or distribution of the assets of, the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, to which the Subordinated Lender would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 2, shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or distribution (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) directly to the Senior Lender, for the benefit of the Senior Lender, until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Senior Obligations.

The Subordinated Lender agrees not to ask, demand, sue for or take or receive from the Borrower in cash, securities or other property or by setoff, purchase or redemption (including, without limitation, from or by way of collateral), payment of all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations to the extent prohibited by the preceding sentence, and agrees that in connection with any proceeding involving the Borrower under any bankruptcy, insolvency reorganization, arrangement, receivership or similar law (i) the Senior Lender is irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of the Subordinated Lender or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution referred to in the preceding sentence and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including, without limitation, voting the Subordinated Obligations and enforcing any security interest or other lien securing payment of the Subordinated Obligation) as the Senior Lender may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of the Senior Lender and (ii) the Subordinated Lender shall duly and promptly take such action as the Collateral Agent, if any, may request to (A) collect amounts in respect of the Subordinated Obligations for the account of the Senior Lender and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, (B) execute and deliver to such Collateral Agent such irrevocable powers of attorney, assignments or other instruments as such Collateral Agent may request in order to enable such Collateral Agent to enforce any and all claims with respect to, and any security interests and other liens securing payment of, the Subordinated Obligations and (C) collect and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Subordinated Obligations. A copy of this Subordination Agreement may be filed with any court as evidence of the Senior Lender’s right, power and authority thereunder.

(d) In the event that any payment by, or on behalf of, or distribution of the assets of, the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, and whether directly, by purchase, redemption, exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise, shall be received by or on behalf of the Subordinated Lender or any Affiliate thereof at a time when such payment is prohibited by this Subordination Agreement, such payment or distribution shall be held by the Subordinated Lender in trust (segregated from other property of the Subordinated Lender) for the benefit of, and shall forthwith be paid over to, the Senior Lender, for the benefit of the Senior Lender, until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Senior Obligations.

(e) Subject to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations, the Subordinated Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Lender to receive payments or distributions in cash, securities or other property of the Borrower to the Senior Obligations until all amounts owing on the Senior Obligations shall be indefeasibly paid in full in cash, and, as between and among the Borrower, its creditors (other than the Senior Lender) and the Subordinated Lender, no such payment or distribution made to the Senior Lender by virtue of this Subordination Agreement that otherwise would have been made to the Subordinated Lender shall be deemed to be a payment by the Borrower on account of the Subordinated Obligations, it being understood that the provisions of this paragraph (e) are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Subordinated Lender and the Senior Lender.

Schedule 5.12-2

(f) Without the prior written consent of the Senior Lender, the Borrower shall not give, or permit to be given, and the Subordinated Lender shall not receive, accept or demand, (i) any security of any nature whatsoever for the Subordinated Obligations on any property or assets, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or (ii) any guarantee, of any nature whatsoever, by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, of the Subordinated Obligations other than any guarantee subordinated to the Senior Obligations on terms substantially identical to (and no less favorable in any significant respect to the Senior Lender than) those hereof. The Subordinated Lender agrees that all of the proceeds of any such security or guarantee shall be subject to the provisions hereof with respect to payments and other distributions in respect of the Subordinated Obligations.

(g) Any and all instruments or records now or hereafter creating or evidencing the Subordinated Obligations, whether upon refunding, extension, renewal, refinancing, replacement or otherwise, shall contain the following legend:

“Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the principal of nor the interest on, nor any other amounts payable in respect of, the indebtedness created or evidenced by this instrument or record shall become due or be paid or payable, except to the extent permitted under the Subordination Agreement, dated [ ], [ ] 20[ ], among, inter alia, [ ] and [ ], which Subordination Agreement is incorporated herein with the same effect as if fully set forth herein.”

(h) The Subordinated Lender agrees that, except for claims submitted in any proceeding contemplated by Section 2(c) hereof, it will not take any action to cause the Subordinated Obligations to become payable prior to their scheduled maturity or exercise any remedies or take any action or proceeding to enforce the Subordinated Obligations if the payment of such Subordinated Obligation is then prohibited by this Subordination Agreement, and the Subordinated Lender further agrees not to file, or to join with any other creditors of the Borrower in filing, any petition commencing any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or receivership proceeding or any assignment for the benefit of creditors against or in respect of the Borrower or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Borrower (provided, that this prohibition shall in no event be construed so as to limit the Subordinated Lender’s right to cause the Subordinated Obligations to become payable prior to their scheduled maturity if all of the outstanding Term Loans in respect of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement have been declared due and payable prior to their scheduled maturity dates).

Section 3. Waivers and Consents. (a) The Subordinated Lender waives the right to compel that any assets or property of the Borrower or the assets or property of any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person be applied in any particular order to discharge the Senior Obligations. The Subordinated Lender expressly waives the right to require the Senior Lender to proceed against the Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person, or to pursue any other remedy in the Senior Lender’s power which the Subordinated Lender cannot pursue and which would lighten the Subordinated Lender’s burden, notwithstanding that the failure of the Senior Lender to do so may thereby prejudice the Subordinated Lender. The Subordinated Lender agrees that it shall not be discharged, exonerated or have its obligations hereunder to the Senior Lender reduced (i) by the Senior Lender’s delay in proceeding against or enforcing any remedy against the Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person; (ii) by the Senior Lender releasing the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person from all or any part of the Senior Obligations; or (iii) by the discharge of the Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person by an operation of law or otherwise, with or without the intervention or omission of the Senior Lender, except in each case unless all Senior Obligations due to the Senior Lender have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. The Senior Lender’s vote to accept or reject any plan of reorganization relating to the Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person, or the Senior Lender’s receipt on account of all or part of the Senior Obligations of any cash, securities or other property distributed in any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case, shall not discharge, exonerate, or reduce the obligations of the Subordinated Lender hereunder to the Senior Lender, except in each case unless all Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

Schedule 5.12-3

(b) The Subordinated Lender waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Senior Lender, even though that election of remedies, including, without limitation, any nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Senior Obligations, has impaired the value of the Subordinated Lender’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person. The Subordinated Lender expressly waives any rights or defenses it may have by reason of protection afforded to the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person with respect to the Senior Obligations pursuant to any anti-deficiency laws or other laws of similar import which limit or discharge the principal debtor’s indebtedness upon judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of real property or personal property for the Senior Obligations.

(c) The Subordinated Lender agrees that, without the necessity of any reservation of rights against it, and without notice to or further assent by it, any demand for payment of the Senior Obligations made by the Senior Lender may be rescinded in whole or in part by the Senior Lender, and any Senior Obligation may be continued, and the Senior Obligations, or the liability of the Borrower or any other guarantor or any other party upon or for any part thereof, or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Senior Lender, in each case without notice to or further assent by the Subordinated Lender, which will remain bound under this Subordination Agreement and without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting the subordination and other agreements provided for herein.

(d) The Subordinated Lender waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Senior Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Senior Lender upon this Subordination Agreement. The Senior Obligations, and any of them, shall be deemed conclusively to have been created, contracted or incurred and the consent given to create the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Subordinated Obligations in reliance upon this Subordination Agreement, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Senior Lender shall be deemed to have been consummated in reliance upon this Subordination Agreement. The Subordinated Lender acknowledges and agrees that each Senior Lender has relied upon the subordination and other agreements provided for herein in consenting to the Subordinated Obligations. The Subordinated Lender waives notice of or proof of reliance on this Subordination Agreement and protest, demand for payment and notice of default.

Section 4. Transfers. The Subordinated Lender shall not sell, assign or otherwise transfer or dispose of, in whole or in part, all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations or any interest therein to any other Person (a “Transferee”) or create, incur or suffer to exist any security interest, Lien, charge or other encumbrance whatsoever upon all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations or any interest therein in favor of any Transferee unless (a) such action is made expressly subject to this Subordination Agreement, (b) the Transferee is reasonably acceptable to the Senior Lender and (c) the Transferee expressly acknowledges to the Senior Lender, by a writing in form and substance satisfactory to the Senior Lender, the subordination and other agreements provided for herein, and in such writing agrees to be bound by all of the terms of this Subordination Agreement, including without limitation this Section 4, as if such Person were the Subordinated Lender.

Section 5. Senior Obligations Unconditional. All rights and interests of the Senior Lender hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Subordinated Lender and the Borrower hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document;

Schedule 5.12-4

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Senior Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of, or consent to departure from, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document;

(c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Lien in any collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of, or consent to departure from, any guarantee of any of the Senior Obligations; or

(d) any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower in respect of the Senior Obligations, or of the Subordinated Lender or the Borrower in respect of this Subordination Agreement.

Section 6. Representations and Warranties. The Subordinated Lender represents and warrants to the Senior Lender that:

(a) It has the power and authority and the legal right to execute and deliver and to perform its obligations under this Subordination Agreement and has taken all necessary action to authorize its execution, delivery and performance of this Subordination Agreement.

(b) This Subordination Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Subordinated Lender and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subordinated Lender, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Subordination Agreement will not violate any provision of any requirement of law applicable to the Subordinated Lender or of any contractual obligation of the Subordinated Lender.

(d) No consent or authorization of, filing with or other act by or in respect of any arbitrator or regulatory body or Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, and no consent of any other Person is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Subordination Agreement.

Section 7. Waiver of Claims. (a) To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Subordinated Lender waives any claim it might have against the Senior Lender with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of judgment, negligence or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of the Senior Lender or its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the Credit Documents or any other document creating or governing any Senior Obligations. Neither the Senior Lender nor any of its respective directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any collateral or any guarantee or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any collateral upon the request of the Borrower or the Subordinated Lender or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any collateral or any such guarantee.

(b) The Subordinated Lender, for itself and on behalf of its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all now existing or hereafter arising rights it may have to require the Senior Lender to marshal assets for the benefit of the Subordinated Lender, or to otherwise direct the timing, order or manner of any sale, collection or other enforcement of remedies against any collateral or enforcement of the Credit Documents. The Senior Lender is under no duty or obligation, and the Subordinated Lender hereby waives any right it may have to compel the Senior Lender, to pursue any guarantor or other Person who may be liable for the Senior Obligations, or to enforce any Lien or security interest in any collateral.

Schedule 5.12-5

(c) The Subordinated Lender hereby waives and releases all rights which a guarantor or surety with respect to the Senior Obligations could exercise.

(d) The Subordinated Lender hereby waives any duty on the part of the Senior Lender to disclose to it any fact known or hereafter known by the Senior Lender relating to the operation or financial condition of the Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations, or their respective businesses. The Subordinated Lender enters into this Subordination Agreement based solely upon its independent knowledge of the Borrower’s results of operations, financial condition and business, and the Subordinated Lender assumes full responsibility for obtaining any further or future information with respect to the Borrower or its results of operations, financial condition or business.

Section 8. Further Assurances. The Subordinated Lender and the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense and at any time from time to time, upon the written request of the Senior Lender, will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Senior Lender reasonably may request for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Subordination Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Section 9. Expenses. (a) The Borrower will pay or reimburse the Senior Lender, upon demand, for all of its costs and expenses in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Subordination Agreement, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel to the Senior Lender, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

(b) The Borrower will pay, indemnify, and hold the Senior Lender harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions (whether sounding in contract, tort or on any other ground), judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the failure of the Borrower or the Subordinated Lender to perform any of its obligations arising out of or relating to this Subordination Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Section 10. Provisions Define Relative Rights. This Subordination Agreement is intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Senior Lender on the one hand and the applicable Subordinated Lender and the Borrower on the other, and no other Person shall have any right, benefit or other interest under this Subordination Agreement.

Section 11. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Subordination Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until the Senior Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash.
