(b) in the case of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be non-representative; provided that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(a) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(b) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(c) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.

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

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, the period (if any) (a) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.25 and (b) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.25.

(d) Without prejudice to the Administrative Agent’s and the Borrower’s rights under Section 2.24(b), in the event that any Lender objects to the release of funds from the Loan Proceeds Account following the delivery of a Borrowing Notice by the Borrower hereunder, the amount of the Withdrawal for disbursement to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.5(b) shall equal the amount of the requested borrowing as set forth in the Borrowing Notice less the amount of such objecting Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans so requested to be funded on the applicable Borrowing Date (and the Administrative Agent shall update the Register to reflect the unfunded portion of the Withdrawal in accordance with Section 2.8(c)).

2.8Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a)The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the appropriate Revolving Credit Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of the Revolving Credit Lender on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8). The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the Closing Date until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.15.

(b)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder (including via a Withdrawal) (or, in the case of any Lender that notifies the Administrative Agent that it has objected to the release of funds in the Loan Proceeds Account following the delivery of a Borrowing Notice from the Borrower, the amount of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of any such Loan made hereunder) and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each

Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d)The accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that if such accounts are inconsistent with the Register, the Register shall prevail.

(e)The Borrower agrees that, upon the request by the Administrative Agent as a result of a request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Revolving Credit Loans substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 (a “Revolving Credit Note”), with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount; provided that delivery of Revolving Credit Notes shall not be a condition precedent to the occurrence of the Closing Date or the making of the Loans on the Closing Date.

2.9Unused Line Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender an unused line fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in each case, computed at the Unused Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date.

(b)The Borrower agrees to pay upon demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender an early termination fee (the “Early Termination Fee”) in the amount of three percent (3.0%) of the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments that are terminated prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (either voluntarily by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10 or involuntarily pursuant to Section 8 upon an Event of Default (and including, without limitation, as a result of the restructuring, reorganization, or compromise of the Obligations by the confirmation of a plan of reorganization or any other plan of compromise, restructure, or arrangement in any insolvency proceeding)). IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT IF THE REVOLVING CREDIT COMMITMENTS ARE TERMINATED, ACCELERATED OR OTHERWISE BECOME DUE PRIOR TO THE REVOLVING CREDIT MATURITY DATE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, AS A RESULT OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT DESCRIBED UNDER SECTION 8(F) OR BY THE BORROWER PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.10, THE EARLY TERMINATION FEE WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE DUE AND PAYABLE AND SHALL CONSTITUTE PART OF THE OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE LOANS. THE EARLY TERMINATION FEE PAYABLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE SHALL BE PRESUMED TO BE THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SUSTAINED BY EACH LENDER AS THE RESULT OF SUCH EARLY TERMINATION, AND THE LOAN PARTIES AGREE THAT IT IS REASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND WILL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A PENALTY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE LOAN PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING

EARLY TERMINATION FEE. The Loan Parties expressly acknowledge that their agreement to pay the Early Termination Fee as herein described is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Loans thereunder.

(c)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates from time to time agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, including the fees payable under the Fee Letter.

2.10Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may permit in its sole discretion) and payment of the Early Termination Fee (as applicable), to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that if such a notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments delivered by the Borrower expressly states that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of a specified transaction, such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

2.11Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice (except as otherwise provided in clause (a)(ii) below) delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Escrow Agent no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto (or such later time as the Administrative Agent and the Escrow Agent may permit in their sole discretion) in the case of SOFR Loans and no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto (or such later time as the Administrative Agent and the Escrow Agent may permit in their sole discretion) in the case of Base Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, and whether such prepayment is of SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided, that (i) if a SOFR Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21 and (ii) if such a notice of prepayment expressly states that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of a specified transaction, such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Escrow Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount or integral to repay such Loan in full). The Borrower shall remit all prepayments of the Loans to the Loan Proceeds Account whereupon such amounts shall remain on deposit in the Loan Proceeds Account for the

account of the Lenders until further directed, disbursed or drawn in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

2.12Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall issue debt securities or instruments pursuant to a public offering or private placement (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.2), then on the next Business Day following such issuance, the Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance (or such lesser amount to repay the Loans in full). The Borrower shall remit all prepayments of the Loans to the Loan Proceeds Account, whereupon such amounts shall remain on deposit in the Loan Proceeds Account for the account of the Lenders until further directed, disbursed or drawn in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the incurrence of any Indebtedness by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries not permitted under Section 7.2.

(b)[Reserved].

(c)[Reserved].

2.13Conversion and Continuation Options. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election; provided that any such conversion of SOFR Loans may be made only on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a SOFR Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Supermajority Lenders have determined in their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b)The Borrower may elect to continue any SOFR Loan as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, provided that no SOFR Loan under the Revolving Credit Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Supermajority Lenders have determined in their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph, such Loans shall be continued automatically as SOFR Loans with a one-month Interest Period on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period, or, if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Loans shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.14Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of SOFR Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of SOFR Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the SOFR Loans shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a

whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than four separate Interest Periods shall be outstanding at any one time.

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

(b)Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(c)(i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount (to the extent legally permitted) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to the Revolving Credit Facility, the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(d)Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand (i) on the same Business Day if demand is made by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time and (ii) on the next Business Day if demand is made by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) after 11:00 a.m., New York City time.

2.16Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans on which interest is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of Adjusted Term SOFR. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

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

(c)In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Supermajority Lenders) 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.

2.17Inability to Determine Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.25, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a)the Supermajority Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, and the Supermajority Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, or

(b)the Supermajority Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Supermajority Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

(c)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 continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (at the instruction of the Supermajority Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) 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 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 Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.21. Subject to Section 2.25, if the Supermajority Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

2.18Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of unused line fees or other fees, and any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders, shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Credit Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment of interest in respect of the Loans and each payment in respect of fees payable hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.

(b)[Reserved].

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

(d)The application of any payment of Loans (including optional and mandatory prepayments) shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to SOFR Loans. Each payment of the Loans (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount paid.

(e)All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders (provided that payments of principal shall be deposited in the Loan Proceeds Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement), in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Any payment made by the Borrower after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been on the next following Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the SOFR Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a SOFR Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(f)Upon receipt of any payment (including any prepayment) of principal in accordance with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent will deposit the amount of such payment in the Loan Proceeds Account in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and shall update the Register and subaccount of each Lender to reflect its share of the proceeds of such payment. The Administrative Agent, the Fronting Lender and each other Revolving Credit Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that, other than to make a funding of Revolving Loans pursuant to a Withdrawal Request by the Administrative Agent, no withdrawals from the Loan Proceeds Account shall be made unless and until the Escrow Termination Date has occurred; provided that in the event that the amount on deposit in the Loan Proceeds Account exceeds the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments at any time, each Revolving Credit Lenders shall have a right, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which may be a single notice delivered to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of one or more Revolving Credit Lenders), to request the release of an amount from the Loan Proceeds Account equal to or less than the amount of such excess. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will deliver a Withdrawal Request to the Escrow Agent by no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day following the receipt of notice from the Revolving Credit Lenders, which such Withdrawal Request shall request a withdrawal for disbursement to each Revolving Credit Lender an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount so released. Upon receipt of such amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments to the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto.

(g)Upon the occurrence of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, any date on which the Loans have been accelerated, or any such earlier date on which the full amount of Revolving Credit Commitments have been terminated in accordance with the terms of this

Agreement (including, without limitation, in each case, pursuant to Section 8 hereof)) (such date, an “Escrow Termination Date”), the Administrative Agent will deliver a Withdrawal Request to the Escrow Agent by no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day following the Escrow Termination Date, which such Withdrawal Request shall request the withdrawal of the full amount on deposit in the Loan Proceeds Account for disbursement to each Revolving Credit Lender entitled thereto. Upon receipt of such amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments to the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto. None of the Loan Parties shall have (and each Loan Party hereby affirmatively waives) any ownership interest or right to withdraw, claim or assert any property interest in any funds on deposit in the Loan Proceeds Account.

(h)Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of payments on behalf of Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments to the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto, in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in respect of principal shall solely be deposited into the Loan Proceeds Account and shall remain on deposit therein in accordance with this Section 2.18).

(i)If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.19Increased Costs. If any Change in Law:

(i)shall subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.20 and except for any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) and any franchise Taxes (imposed in lieu of net income Taxes) and branch profits taxes and Other Taxes;

(ii)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to

as "Eurocurrency liabilities" in Regulation D)), 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; or

(iii)shall impose on such Lender any other condition (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.20 and except for any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation with respect to any such Lender if (x) the relevant change in law or other similar occurrence described in this paragraph occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto or (y) such Lender is not generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers under comparable syndicated credit facilities that such Lender is a lender under and is entitled to charge such amounts to the borrower thereunder. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b)If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender, or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation with respect to any such Lender if (x) the relevant change in law or other similar occurrence described in this paragraph occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto or (y) such Lender is not generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers under comparable syndicated credit facilities that such Lender is a lender under and is entitled to charge such amounts to the borrower thereunder.

(c)A Lender shall be required to submit a certificate (i) setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section and (ii) certifying that such Lender is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers, and any such certificate submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender becomes aware of the occurrence of the event giving rise to such right to such amounts; provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then the 6-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.20Taxes. (a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by or on behalf of the Borrower, 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 a Non-Excluded Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party 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; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (e) or (f) of this Section, (ii) that are U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time (A) such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Borrower under Section 2.24) or (B) such Lender changes its lending office, except in each case either to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts or such Lender was entitled to receive additional amounts immediately before it changed its lending office with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph (a)), or (iii) that are withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA.

(b)In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lender the original or a certified copy of an official receipt showing payment thereof. If the Borrower or any other Loan Party fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes (for the avoidance of doubt, not including any Non-Excluded Taxes for which Borrower would not be required to pay additional amounts to any Lender by reason of the proviso in the last sentence of Section 2.20(a)) or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or the Borrower fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes and any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d)The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Administrative Agent or Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Administrative Agent or Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded 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.

(e)(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 2.20(e)(ii)(A)-(ii)(B) and Section 2.20(h) 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,

(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 copies of Internal Revenue Service 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:

(I)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and

(y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(II)executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI;

(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 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 (y) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(IV)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, Internal Revenue Service 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;

(iii)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 copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(f)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 the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, it

shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.20(g) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person.

(h)Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.20(h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

2.21Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of SOFR Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of SOFR Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of SOFR Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (d) the assignment of any SOFR Loan or Base Rate 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 2.24(a). Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank market. A Lender shall be required to submit a certificate to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (i) setting forth any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section and (ii) certifying that such

Lender is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers, and any such certificate submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.22Illegality. If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until each 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, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Required Lenders without reference to Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR. 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 required pursuant to Section 2.21.

2.23Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22 with respect to such Lender, it will use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that no such designation shall be required unless such designation can be made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, (i) cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage and (ii) in the case of a designation arising from the operation of Section 2.19 or Section 2.20(a), such designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 2.20, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.22.

2.24Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances; Defaulting Lenders.

(a)Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20 or gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.22, (b) becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (c) does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of each of the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained), with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.23 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20 or to eliminate the illegality referred to in such notice of illegality given pursuant to Section 2.22, (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.21 (as though Section 2.21 were applicable) if any SOFR Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20, as the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such replacement shall be consummated, (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender, and (x) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.19 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.20, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective.

(b)[Reserved].

(c)Defaulting Lenders.

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

(A)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 Supermajority Lenders and Section 10.1.

(B)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 Section 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, 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; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower, to be retained in the Loan Proceeds Account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, 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 sixth, 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 in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments without giving effect to clause (iv) below. 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 pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. The Administrative Agent has the right to allocate amounts in the Loan Proceeds Account attributable to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section 2.24(c)(i)(B) and deliver a Withdrawal Request to the Escrow Agent for the release and application of such amounts in accordance with Section 2.24(c)(i)(B), and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto and thereto.

(ii)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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, 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 to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments, 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.

(iii)[Reserved].

(iv)Termination of Defaulting Lender. The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, upon prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.24(c)(i)(B) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

2.25Benchmark Replacement Settings.

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

(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Supermajority Lenders) 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.

(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.25(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark

Unavailability Period. 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 2.25, 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 2.25.

(d)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), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Supermajority Lenders in their reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Supermajority Lenders may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Supermajority Lenders 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.

(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Loan 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 Base Rate Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

SECTION 3.[RESERVED]

SECTION 4.REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

4.1Financial Condition.

(a) [Reserved].

(b)The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity and of cash

flows for the twelve month periods ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by a report from Deloitte & Touche LLP, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the Administrative Agent, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the period covered thereby. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein).

4.2No Change. Since December 31, 2020 there has been no development or event that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the limited liability company or other organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its Property, to lease the Property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign limited liability company or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except, with respect to this clause (c), where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the limited liability company or other organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary limited liability company or other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required on the part of or in respect of any Loan Party in connection with the borrowings hereunder or the execution, delivery and performance by the Loan Parties party thereto of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i) such consents, authorizations, filings and notices as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) the Borrowing Notices and any other notices required to be delivered by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (iii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19 and any other filings necessary to perfect the Liens and security interests under the Security Documents, (iv) ordinary course of business filing of reports with the SEC pursuant to generally applicable securities laws and (v) those consents, authorizations, filings, notices or actions, the failure of which to obtain or make, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each existing Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

4.5No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by the Loan Parties thereto, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not (i) violate any Requirement of Law of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as such may be applicable to or binding on each except, to the extent any such violations, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) constitute a default under any Contractual Obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as such may be applicable to or binding on each, except to the extent such default could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens permitted by Section 7.3).

4.6No Material Litigation. No litigation, proceeding or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, investigation, of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of a Responsible Officer, threatened in writing by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

4.8Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property necessary in the ordinary conduct of its business, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, license of or right to use all its other material Property necessary in the ordinary conduct of its business, except (i) for minor defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business or to utilize such assets for their intended purposes and (ii) to the extent failure to have such title or valid leasehold interest in, license of or right to use such material real property or material Property would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Collateral or other material Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3.

4.9Intellectual Property. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, can acquire or license on reasonable terms, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. No claim that is likely to result in an adverse determination against the Borrower and, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect has been asserted in writing and is pending against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries by any Person alleging an infringement by the Borrower of such Person’s Intellectual Property or the validity of the Borrower’s right to use any of such Person’s Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. To the knowledge of the Borrower, the use of such Intellectual Property by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the Intellectual Property rights of any Person in any material respect, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.10Taxes. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all Federal and other material tax returns that are required to be filed by it and has paid all

Taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its Property and all other Taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its Property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, or to the extent the failure to file or pay would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). As of the Closing Date, no tax Lien has been filed against the Borrower or any Subsidiary or their assets that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such Tax, fee or other charge that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.11Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock”. The Borrower is not engaged and will not engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock, or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock within the meanings of each such term under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of regulations T, U or X of the Board. Following the application of the proceeds of each borrowing hereunder, not more than 25% of the value of the assets (either of Borrower or of Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) will be margin stock.

4.12Labor Matters.

Hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on account of employee health and welfare insurance that (individually or in the aggregate) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary.

Except as could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to cause a Material Adverse Effect: (i) no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, (ii) each Plan has complied in all respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, And (iii) the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any withdrawal liability under ERISA that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made.

4.14Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the

4.15Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries.

4.16Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including any purpose not expressly prohibited hereunder; provided that in no event shall the Borrower use such proceeds to repay any Existing Revolving Loans.

(c)There is no judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding (including any notice of violation or alleged violation) under or relating to any Environmental Law to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is, or to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries will be, named as a party that is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened in writing.

(d)Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written request for information, or been notified that it is a potentially responsible party, in each case under or relating to the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act or any similar Environmental Law, or with respect to any Materials of Environmental Concern.

4.18Accuracy of Information, etc.. (a) All material information (other than projections, general market, industry or economic data) contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document, certificate or written statement furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them, by or on behalf of any Loan Party for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, when taken as a whole and in light of the circumstances under which they were made, did not contain as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was made or so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon estimates and assumptions believed by the Borrower in good faith to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact, that projections by their nature are inherently uncertain, that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein and such differences may be material.

(b)As of the Closing Date, to the knowledge of the Borrower, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification provided on or prior to the Closing Date to any Lender in connection with this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects.

4.19Security Documents. (a) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of any Pledged Stock required to be pledged pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in which a security interest may be perfected only by possession or control (within the meanings assigned to such terms in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code), when any stock certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with respect to which perfection is governed by filing of a financing statement, when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.19(a)(i) (which financing statements have been duly completed and delivered to the Administrative Agent) and such other filings as are specified on Schedule 3 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement have been completed, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected security interest in (and, if applicable, Lien on), all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) to the extent such security interest can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement pursuant to the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or by possession or control by the Administrative Agent under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock, Liens permitted by Section 7.3, and, in the case of Pledged Stock, (i) Liens permitted by Section 7.3(s) and (ii) Liens permitted by Section 7.3(a) to the extent such Liens are prior and superior to the Liens granted under the Security Documents by operation of law). Schedule 4.19(a)(ii) lists each UCC Financing Statement on the Closing Date

that (i) names any Loan Party as debtor and (ii) will remain on file after the Closing Date and that has not lapsed or been terminated. Schedule 4.19(a)(iii) lists each UCC Financing Statement that (i) names any Loan Party as debtor and (ii) will be terminated on or prior to the Closing Date.

(b)As of the Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries owns any real property.

4.20Solvency. The Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis and after giving effect to the Transaction and the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection herewith and therewith are, and on each Borrowing Date thereafter will be, Solvent.

6.14No “Unrestricted Subsidiaries” . The parties hereto agree that no provision hereof or any other Loan Document may be amended or added to allow for the designation of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” and/or incorporate necessary corresponding changes throughout this Agreement to effectuate the addition of such concept without the consent of all Lenders.

SECTION 9.THE AGENTS

9.1Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in such capacities, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Unless otherwise specifically set forth herein, the Collateral Agent shall have all the rights and benefits of the Administrative Agent set forth in this Agreement.

The Collateral Agent shall act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties pursuant to the Security Documents to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed pursuant to Section 9.2 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 9 and Section 10.5 (as though such co-agents, subagents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into the other Loan Documents to which it is a party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Representative Supplement) on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable (it being understood that in the case of any Lien contemplated to be pari passu with the Liens securing the Obligations, the Intercreditor Agreement is deemed to be customary and acceptable) and to perform its obligations thereunder and to take such action and to exercise the powers, rights and remedies granted to it thereunder and with respect thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or 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.

9.2Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may execute any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through one or more co-or sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed by it and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The exculpatory, indemnity and other provisions of this Section 9 and Section 10.5 shall apply to any such co-agent or sub-agent and to the Agent-Related Persons of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral and any such co-agent or sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

9.3Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, (iii) 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 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 none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their Agent-Related Person shall be required to take any action (or where so instructed, refrain from exercising) that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Person to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Laws, (iv) 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 any Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; and (v) be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and, if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them). Neither theh Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Agent-Related Person shall 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 Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Agent-Related Person shall (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have

any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (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 the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein.

No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any recital, statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) 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, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the existence, value or sufficiency of any Collateral or the financial or other condition of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, or (vii) 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 obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for any unsuitability, inadequacy, expiration or unfitness of any security interest created hereunder or pursuant to any other Loan Document nor shall it be obligated to make any investigation into, and shall be entitled to assume, the adequacy and fitness of any security interest created hereunder or pursuant to any other Loan Document.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder or any other Loan Document arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services.

9.4Reliance by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by

the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 10.6 and all actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

The Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, 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 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. No Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the Direction of the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Laws.

9.5Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall receive such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

9.6Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Agent-Related Person shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

9.7Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Agent-Related Person in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), for, and to save the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Agent-Related Person harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Agent-Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the Revolving Credit Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such; provided, further that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s (as applicable) gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, further, at no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross

negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.7. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.7 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including all reasonable and documented fees, expenses and disbursements of any law firm or other external legal counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, syndication, 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 or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto; provided, further, that the failure of any Lender to indemnify or reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation in respect thereof. 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 such Lender from any source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.

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

9.9Successor Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent”, as the case may be, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative

Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.10Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release of Liens or guarantee obligations contemplated by Section 10.15.

9.11[Reserved].

9.12Withholding. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any withholding Tax applicable to such payment. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason, or the Administrative Agent has paid over to the Internal Revenue Service applicable withholding Tax relating to a payment to a Lender but no deduction has been made from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any and all expenses incurred, unless such amounts have been indemnified by any Loan Party or the relevant Lender.

9.13Certain ERISA Matters.

SECTION 10.MISCELLANEOUS

10.1Amendments and Waivers. Subject to Section 2.17(c) and the last paragraph of this Section 10.1, neither this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or (with the written consent of the Required Lenders) the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents (including amendments and restatements hereof or thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any

manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in the instrument of waiver, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall:

(i)forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable under this Agreement (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders) and (y) that any (I) amendment or modification of the provisions related to any Benchmark (or any defined terms related to the foregoing) or pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.25 and (II) amendment or modification of any defined terms used in the financial covenant in this Agreement, in each case shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Commitment of any Lender, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(ii)amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section or reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their guarantee obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case without the consent of all the Lenders;

(iii)[reserved];

(iv)reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders without the consent of all of the Lenders;

(v)amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9, or any other provision affecting the rights, duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent, without the consent of the Administrative Agent;

100

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided, that delivery of an executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except (x) that the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) for any such amendment, waiver or consent that treats such Defaulting Lender disproportionately and adversely from the other Lenders (other than because of its status as a Defaulting Lender).

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, by its acquisition of Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, each relevant Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that the Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments held by such Affiliated Lender shall be disregarded in both the numerator and denominator in the calculation of any Required Lender or any other Lender vote (and the Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments held by such Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to be voted pro rata along with the other Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders); provided that (x) such Affiliated Lender shall have the right to vote (and the Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments held by such Affiliated Lender shall not be so disregarded) with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action that requires the vote of all Lenders or all Lenders directly or adversely affected thereby, as the case may be, and (y) no amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action shall (i) disproportionately affect such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender as compared to other Lenders of the same Class that are not Affiliated Lenders or (ii) deprive any Affiliated Lender of its share of any payments which the Lenders are entitled to share on a pro rata basis hereunder, in each case without the written consent of such Affiliated Lender.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments of all Debt Fund Affiliates shall not account for more than 49.9% of the amounts included in determining whether the Required Lenders have (A) consented to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom or (B) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to any Loan Document.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

101

In addition, the Fronting Lender and the other Lenders party hereto hereby each agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that the Fronting Lender has assigned all of its Commitments to certain Lenders represented by the Specified Advisors, the Fronting Lender will not exercise any voting rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in respect of the Loans held by it and, in addition, the Commitments and Loans held by the Fronting Lender shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating Required Lenders.

All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy or other electronic transmission), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy or other electronic transmission notice, when received, addressed (a) in the case of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as follows and (b) in the case of the Lenders, as set forth in an administrative questionnaire delivered to the Administrative Agent or on Schedule I to the Lender Addendum to which such Lender is a party or, in the case of a Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, in such Assignment and Acceptance or (c) in the case of any party, to such other address as such party may hereafter notify to the other parties hereto:

The Borrower agrees (a) (x) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent (and its Agent-Related Persons), the Collateral Agent (and its Agent-Related Persons), the Escrow Agent and the Lenders (including the Fronting Lender) for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Revolving Credit Facility (other than out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses payable to syndicate members) and the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (which, in the case of legal fees and disbursements, shall be limited to the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (and of a single local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction material to the interests of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple material jurisdictions)) and one firm of counsel for the Lenders taken as a whole (and, by a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate local jurisdiction for the Lenders and, solely if representation by a single counsel in such local jurisdiction would be inappropriate based on the advice of legal counsel due to the existence of an actual conflict of interest, one additional outside counsel to all such Persons subject to such conflict, taken as a whole) and the charges of Intralinks, (y) to pay or reimburse each Lender, the Escrow Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith (which, in the case of legal fees and disbursements, shall be limited to the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel to the Administrative Agent and

103

the Collateral Agent (and of a single local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction material to the interests of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple material jurisdictions)) and one firm of counsel for the Lenders taken as a whole (and, by a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate local jurisdiction for the Lenders and, solely if representation by a single counsel in such local jurisdiction would be inappropriate based on the advice of legal counsel due to the existence of an actual conflict of interest, one additional outside counsel to all such Persons subject to such conflict, taken as a whole)) and (z) without duplication of the requirement to pay the fees and expenses of the Lenders pursuant to clause (a)(y) or (x) above, to pay in full in cash all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses payable to Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, as legal counsel to the ad hoc group of Lenders represented by the Specified Lender Advisors, in connection with the syndication, negotiation, documentation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments, restatements, supplements or other modifications thereto from time to time, and (b) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender (including the Fronting Lender), the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Escrow Agent, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons, including each Specified Lender Advisors (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by an Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds thereof, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of, or exposure to, any Materials of Environmental Concern, any failure to comply with Environmental Law or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding pursuant to Environmental Law relating to any Materials of Environmental Concern related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any or of their respective properties, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, and whether or not such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding are brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, affiliates, creditors or any other person and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing in this clause (b), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities (i) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (ii) arising from a material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable judgment or (iii) arising from any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission or the Borrower or any of its affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such), and provided, further, this Section 10.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes expressly referenced in this Section 10.5 or that represent losses or damages arising from non-Tax claim. Each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund or return any and all amounts paid by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.5 to such Indemnitee for any fees, expenses, or damages to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof. The Borrower acknowledges that information and documents relating to the Facilities may be transmitted through a Platform, and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, that neither the

104

Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent is responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to any such Platform and that no Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the unauthorized use by others of information or documents occurring as a result of such information or documents being transmitted in such manner unless resulting from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, and neither the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Facilities. The Borrower shall have the right to undertake, conduct and control through counsel of its own choosing (which counsel shall be acceptable to the applicable Indemnitee acting reasonably), the conduct and settlement of claims with respect to the related Indemnified Liabilities, and such Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Borrower in connection therewith; provided that the Borrower shall permit such Indemnitee to participate in such conduct and settlement through counsel chosen by such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel if such Indemnitee reasonably determines that (i) the Borrower’s counsel is not defending any claim or proceeding in a manner reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee or (ii) the interest of the Borrower and such Indemnitee have become adverse in any such claim or cause of action, provided, however, that in any event, the Borrower shall only be liable for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal expenses of one counsel for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole. If clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence is applicable, at the option of the applicable Indemnitee, its attorneys shall control the resolution of any such claim with respect to the related Indemnified Liabilities. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnitee affected thereby, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not such Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (a) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such action or claim, (b) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnitee and (c) does not require such Indemnitee to pay any form of consideration to any party or parties (including, without limitation, the payment of money) in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee until all Obligations (other than indemnity obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement and for which no notice of a claim has been received by the Borrower as of such termination) have been paid in full and all Revolving Credit Commitments have terminated or expired. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 30 days (x) after written demand thereof, in the case of any indemnification obligations and (y) in the case of reimbursement of costs and expenses, after receipt of an invoice relating thereto, setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail and together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement requests. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. This paragraph shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

10.6Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of

105

its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Agreement.

(a)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities, in each case other than any Disqualified Institution (but only if the DQ List has been posted pursuant to Section 10.6(i)(iv)(A) hereof or otherwise provided to such Lender), a Defaulting Lender, a natural person or to any entity that such Lender has knowledge is a competitor (or an affiliate of a known competitor) of the Borrower or any Founding Member (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except that a Lender may agree with a Participant that it will not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent that would require the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 10.1 without the consent of such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff provided under Section 10.7(b) in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the requirements of, Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21 and 2.23 with respect to its participation in the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.20, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section, and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred, 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 shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) 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 and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender

106

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.

(b)Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law and upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any Affiliate, Related Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof, in each case other than to any Disqualified Institution, a Defaulting Lender, a natural person or an entity that such Lender has knowledge is a is a competitor (or an affiliate of a known competitor) of the Borrower or any Founding Member or, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (it being understood that the Borrower shall have the right to waive its consent rights hereunder by notice to the Administrative Agent)), to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit F or any other form (including electronic records generated by the use of an electronic Platform) approved by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and such other Persons) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any Affiliate or Related Fund thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000 in the case of the assignment of any Revolving Credit Commitments (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement), unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Section 2.19, 2.20, 2.23 and 10.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, (i) the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs at any time when any Event of Default pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof. For purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments to or by two or more Related Funds shall be aggregated. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 (other than with respect to Disqualified Lenders), whether or not such assignment or transfer is reflected in the Register, shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6.

(c)The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and principal amount of the (and stated interest on) Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The

107

entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon, if requested by the designated Assignee, one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to such designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “canceled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 10.6(b), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (which registration and processing fee may only be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent) (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (y) in connection with an assignment by or to the Administrative Agent or (z) in the case of an Assignee which is an affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own expense, upon request and upon receipt by the Borrower of the old Notes (if any) for cancellation, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Credit Note of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit Note to such Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment, upon request, a new Revolving Credit Note to the Assignor in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment, retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.

(e)For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms

108

hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6(f), any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided that non-public information with respect to the Borrower may be disclosed only with the Borrower’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld. In addition to the consent requirements set forth in Section 10.1, this paragraph (g) may not be amended without the written consent of any SPC with Loans outstanding at the time of such proposed amendment.

(g)Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments) to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof.

(h) (i) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender and (y) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment in violation of this clause (i)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (i) shall apply.

(ii)If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i)(i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Revolving Credit Commitment and/or (B) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with

109

and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.6, all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations of such Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any Plan, each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

(iv)The Administrative Agent shall, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same; provided that such Lender or potential Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the DQ List (which agreement may be by way of a “click through” or other affirmative action on the part of the recipient to access the DQ List and acknowledge its confidentiality obligations in respect thereof); provided further that the Administrative Agent shall not disclose the DQ List to any Person without the express consent of the Borrower.

10.7Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of

110

the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b)In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to set off and appropriate and apply against any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.8Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement or of a Lender Addendum by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

10.9Severability. Any provision of this Agreement 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 hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.10Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

10.11GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

10.12Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers.

(a)Each of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, notwithstanding the governing law provisions of any applicable Loan Document, any claims brought against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by any Lender or Secured Party relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Collateral or the consummation or administration of the transactions

111

(b)Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan (or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may (and any such claims, cross-claims or third party claims brought against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors may only) be heard and determined in such Federal (to the extent permitted by law) or New York State court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower, any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c)Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.12.

The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Escrow Agent and each Lender each agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (provided that any such non-public information that is provided after the date of this Agreement is explicitly designated and marked by such Loan Party as confidential); provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Escrow Agent or Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Escrow Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate of any thereof in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or on a “need to know” basis (it being understood that any such Person to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and the requirement to maintain it as confidential and that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Escrow Agent or Lender, as the case may be, shall be responsible for the compliance or breach by such Person with this Section), (b) to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) or prospective Transferee (in each case other than any entity that such Lender has knowledge is a competitor (or an affiliate of a known competitor) of the Borrower or any Founding Member) that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section or substantially equivalent provisions pursuant to an agreement as to which the Loan Parties are express and intended third party beneficiaries, (c) to any of its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or on a “need to know” basis (it being understood that any such Person to whom such

10.15Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations.

(a)Upon any Disposition of Property by any Loan Party of any Collateral that is permitted by the Loan Documents to any person that is not a Loan Party, or, upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest or Lien granted under the Security Documents in any Collateral pursuant to Section 10.1, the security interests and Liens in such Collateral shall be automatically released, and the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender) take such actions as shall be reasonably required by the Borrower to evidence such release.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when the Obligations have been Discharged in Full, then (i) the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents and the Security Documents and all rights and obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any other secured party and each Loan Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person and (ii) upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations under any Loan Document. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations

114

guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, 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) will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.15. In each case as specified in this Section 10.15, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to evidence the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.15; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower containing such certifications as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request (and each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to conclusively rely on any such certificate in performing its obligations under this sentence) and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to execute any such document on terms which, in its reasonable 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 such Liens without recourse or warranty.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent have a duty to, and shall not be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to, monitor, maintain or preserve any portion of the Collateral, any security interests of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent therein or any filings, registrations, or recordings made with respect thereto. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to investigate, confirm or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is insured or has been encumbered, or that the liens and security interests granted to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Loan Documents or otherwise have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority.

10.16Accounting Changes. In the event that any “Accounting Change” (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Change as if such Accounting Change had not been made. Until such time as such an

115

amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Change had not occurred. “Accounting Change” refers to any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC.

10.17Delivery of Lender Addenda. Each initial Lender shall become a party to this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Lender Addendum duly executed by such Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

10.18WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

10.19Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement shall remain outstanding, the rights granted to the Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the lien and security interest granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that, upon the Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s entry into the Representative Supplement, the Secured Parties will be subject to and bound by the provisions of the Existing Intercreditor Agreement as Additional First-Lien Secured Parties (as defined therein). In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and the Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control with respect to any right or remedy, and no right, power or remedy granted to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be exercised by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and no direction shall be given by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in contravention of the Intercreditor Agreement.

10.20Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institution.

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

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

116

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

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

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

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

10.21Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of new York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): in the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any FC Credit Support.

10.22 Syndication. Following the Closing Date, the Borrower, each other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and certain Persons represented by the Specified Lender Advisors (the “Backstop Parties) shall be obligated to participate in a syndication process (the “Syndication”) for the assignment of a proportionate share of Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with syndication procedures (the “Syndication Procedures”) acceptable to each of the Administrative Agent and the Backstop Parties (each in their sole discretion), in consultation with the Borrower, which Syndication Procedures shall be posted to the Platform. The Borrower and the Backstop Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Syndication to commence no later than ten (10) Business Days following the

117

Closing Date; provided, however, that the Syndication must be completed on or prior to February 28, 2022, unless a later time is agreed by each Backstop Party in its sole discretion; provided, further, however, that this Section 10.22 shall terminate on February 28, 2022 or such earlier date or later date acceptable to each Backstop Party (in its sole discretion).

118

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their proper and duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
