If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement and/or any Term SOFR Advance, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate”, the definition of “Business Day”, the definition of “Interest Period”, the definition of “RFR Business Day”, the definition of “U.S. Government Securities Business Day”, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, the formula for calculating any successor rates identified pursuant to the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, the formula, methodology or convention for applying the successor Floor to the successor Benchmark and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Designated Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion and in consultation with the Borrower, may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of the applicable Benchmark and to permit the administration thereof by the Designated Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Designated Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Designated Agent determines, in consultation with the Borrower, that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark exists, in such other manner of administration as the Designated Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion and in consultation with the Borrower, is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

(3) 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 such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer, or as of a specified future date will no longer 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).

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCES

SECTION 2.01. The Advances. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Advances to the Borrower denominated in any Agreed Currency from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Termination Date in an aggregate amount (based, in respect of any Advances denominated in a Foreign Currency, on the Equivalent in Dollars determined on the date of delivery of the applicable Notice of Borrowing) not to exceed at any time outstanding the Commitment of such Lender then in effect; provided that the Lenders shall not be obligated to, and shall not, make any Advances as part of a Borrowing if after giving effect to such Borrowing the sum of the then-outstanding aggregate amount of all Borrowings shall exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments then in effect. Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000, £5,000,000, €5,000,000 or ¥500,000,000, as applicable, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000, £1,000,000, €1,000,000 or ¥100,000,000, as applicable, in excess thereof, except that any Borrowing may be in an amount equal to the remaining unused amount of the Commitments or the Equivalent thereof in a Foreign Currency. Each Borrowing shall consist of Advances of the same Type and currency made on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, the Borrower from time to time may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay pursuant to Section 2.10 and reborrow under this Section 2.01.

SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances. (a) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than (i) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the same Business Day as the date of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances, (ii) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of a proposed Borrowing comprised of EURIBOR Advances or TIBOR Advances, (iii) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the fifth RFR Business Day prior to the date of a proposed Borrowing comprised of SONIA Advances and (iv)(A) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to the date of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Term SOFR Advances or (B) if applicable pursuant to Section 2.08, 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the fifth RFR Business Day prior to the date of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Daily Simple SOFR Advances, by the Borrower to the Designated Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be in writing, or by telephone confirmed immediately in writing in substantially the form separately provided by the Designated Agent to the Borrower, specifying therein (1) the requested date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (2) the currency and Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (3) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing and (4) in the case of a Borrowing comprised of Term SOFR Advances, EURIBOR Advances or TIBOR Advances, the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each Lender shall, before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Designated Agent at the Designated Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. After the Designated Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 3.02, the Designated Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the office where the Designated Agent’s Account is maintained (or to an account of the Borrower in the relevant jurisdiction and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, in the case of Advances denominated in a Foreign Currency).

(b) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing which the related Notice of Borrowing specifies as to be comprised of Term SOFR Advances, EURIBOR Advances or TIBOR Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the conditions set forth in Section 3.02, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Term SOFR Advance, the EURIBOR Advance or the TIBOR Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Term SOFR Advance, EURIBOR Advance or TIBOR Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(c) Unless the Designated Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Designated Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Designated Agent may, but shall not be required to, assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Designated Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Designated Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have made such ratable portion available to the Designated Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Designated Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is paid to the Designated Agent, at the greater of (i) the rate determined by the Designated Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount and (ii) the applicable Overnight Rate; provided, however, that (A) within two Business Days after any Lender shall fail to make such ratable portion available to the Designated Agent, the Designated Agent shall notify the Borrower of such failure and (B) if such Lender shall not have paid such corresponding amount to the Designated Agent within two Business Days after such demand is made of such Lender by the Designated Agent, the Borrower agrees to repay to the Designated Agent forthwith upon demand by the Designated Agent to the Borrower such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Designated Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Borrowing. If and to the extent such corresponding amount shall be paid by such Lender to the Designated Agent in accordance with this Section 2.02(c), such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

SECTION 2.03. Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender a commitment fee, accruing at the rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage in effect from time to time, on the average daily unused amount of such Lender’s Commitment (i) in the case of each Lender on the Effective Date, from the Effective Date or (ii) in the case of any Lender that becomes a Lender after the Effective Date, the effective date specified in the Assumption Agreement or the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender, until, in each case, the Termination Date. Commitment fees accrued through and including the last day of each January, April, July and October shall be payable in arrears on the 15th day following such last day, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and accrued commitment fees shall also be payable on the Termination Date.

SECTION 2.04. Reduction of the Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Designated Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders; provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided further that after giving effect to any such partial reduction, the total Commitments shall not be less than the then-outstanding aggregate amount of Advances. Once terminated, such Commitments may not be reinstated, except pursuant to a Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.19.

(b) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Term SOFR Advance, EURIBOR Advance or TIBOR Advance, in each case, in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” and Section 2.09(a), the Designated Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period therefor, be Continued as Advances of such Type with a one-month Interest Period.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), (i) each Term SOFR Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period therefor, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance, (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, Convert into or Continue Advances as Term SOFR Advances shall be suspended and (iii) no Continuation of any Advance denominated in any other Agreed Currency for an Interest Period of more than one month may be made.

SECTION 2.10. Prepayments of Advances. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon not less than (i) the same Business Day’s notice to the Designated Agent received not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) in the case of Borrowings consisting of Base Rate Advances, (ii) three Business Days’ notice to the Designated Agent received not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) in the case of Borrowings consisting of Term SOFR Advances, EURIBOR Advances and TIBOR Advances, or (iii) five RFR Business Days’ notice to the Designated Agent received not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) in the case of Borrowings consisting of RFR Advances, stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Advances constituting part of the same Borrowings in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or the Equivalent thereof in a Foreign Currency determined on the date notice of prepayment is given) and (y) in the case of any such prepayment of Term SOFR Advances, EURIBOR Advances or TIBOR Advances, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(b).

(b) Mandatory. (i) If the Designated Agent provides a written notice in conformity with Section 2.10(b)(ii) to the Borrower that, on any date, the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Dollars then outstanding and (B) the Equivalent in Dollars (determined on the third Business Day prior to such date) of the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies then outstanding exceeds 102% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on such date, the Borrower shall, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Advances necessary so that, after giving effect to such prepayment of Advances, the sum of (A) and (B) above does not exceed 100% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on such date as set forth in the written notice from the Designated Agent to the Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof.

(ii) Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be made together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid and, in the case of any prepayment of a Term SOFR Advance, a EURIBOR Advance or a TIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, with any additional amounts which the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse to the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(b). The Designated Agent shall give prompt written notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.10(b) to the Borrower and the Lenders and such notice shall specify the amount of such prepayment and contain a reasonably detailed calculation thereof.

SECTION 2.11. Increased Costs. (a) If, after the date hereof, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any hereafter promulgated guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority (whether or not having the force of law), which guideline or request (x) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or (y) imposes on any Lender any other condition regarding this Agreement (including any assessment or charge on or with respect to the Commitments or Advances, deposits or liabilities incurred to fund Advances, assets consisting of Advances (but not unrelated assets) or capital attributable thereto), there shall be any increase in the cost (excluding any allocation of corporate overhead) to any Lender (which cost such Lender reasonably determines in good faith is material) of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Advances, then such Lender shall so notify the Borrower promptly after such Lender knows of such increased cost and determines that such cost is material and the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Designated Agent), pay to the Designated Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate of such Lender as to the amount of such increased cost in reasonable detail and stating the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certifying that such Lender’s method of allocating such costs is fair and reasonable and that such Lender’s demand for payment of such costs hereunder is not inconsistent with its treatment of other borrowers which, as a credit matter, are substantially similar to the Borrower and which are subject to similar provisions, submitted to the Borrower and the Designated Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes hereof, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount under this Section 2.11 relating to (i) costs that are Excluded Taxes or are subject to indemnification under Section 2.14 or (ii) reserve requirements that are included in the Statutory Reserve Rate.

(b) If, after the date hereof, either (i) the introduction of or change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by any Lender with any hereafter promulgated guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority (whether or not having the force of law), affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any entity controlling such Lender and the amount of such capital or liquidity is materially increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type, then such Lender shall so notify the Borrower promptly after such Lender makes such determination and, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Designated Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender within five days from the date of such demand, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling entity in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines in good faith such increase in capital or liquidity to be material and allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder. A certificate of such Lender as to such amount in reasonable detail and stating the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certifying that such Lender’s method of allocating such increase of capital is fair and reasonable and that such Lender’s demand for payment of such increase of capital hereunder is not inconsistent with its treatment of other borrowers which, as a credit matter, are substantially similar to the Borrower and which are subject to similar provisions, submitted to the Borrower and the Designated Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes hereof, absent manifest error.

(c) The Borrower shall not be obligated to pay under this Section 2.11 any amounts which relate to costs or increases of capital incurred prior to the 12 months immediately preceding the date of demand for payment of such amounts by any Lender, unless the applicable law, regulation, guideline or request resulting in such costs or increases of capital is imposed retroactively. In the case of any law, regulation, guideline or request which is imposed retroactively, the Lender making demand for payment of any amount under this Section 2.11 shall notify the Borrower not later than 12 months from the date that such Lender should reasonably have known of such law, regulation, guideline or request and the Borrower’s obligation to compensate such Lender for such amount is contingent upon such Lender so notifying the Borrower; provided, however, that any failure by such Lender to provide such notice shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.11 with respect to amounts resulting from costs or increases of capital incurred after the date which occurs 12 months immediately preceding the date on which such Lender notified the Borrower of such law, regulation, guideline or request.

(d) If any Lender shall subsequently recoup any costs (other than from the Borrower) for which such Lender has theretofore been compensated by the Borrower under this Section 2.11, such Lender shall remit to the Borrower an amount equal to the amount of such recoupment. Amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be paid in addition to, and without duplication of, any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.14.

(e) For purposes hereof, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be changes in law or regulation referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, promulgated or issued.

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.11 shall survive the payment in full (after the Termination Date) of all payment obligations of the Borrower in respect of Advances hereunder.

SECTION 2.12. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Designated Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the date hereof makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Advances in any Agreed Currency (other than, subject to clause (c) of this paragraph, Base Rate Advances) or to fund or maintain any such Advances, (a) the obligation of such Lender to make, or to Convert Base Rate Advances into, as applicable, such Advances shall be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Designated Agent, and the Designated Agent shall notify the Borrower and the other Lenders, that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist (which notice shall be given promptly after the Designated Agent has been advised by such Lender that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist), (b) the Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full all such Advances of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, unless, in the case of a Term SOFR Advance, the Borrower, within five Business Days of notice from the Designated Agent or, if permitted by law, on and as of the last day of the then existing Interest Period for such Term SOFR Advance, Converts it into a Base Rate Advance and (c) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Advances due to the interest rate thereon being determined by reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, then the interest rate on such Base Rate Advances shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Designated Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Base Rate until such Lender shall notify the Designated Agent, and the Designated Agent shall notify the Borrower and the other Lenders, that the circumstances causing the suspension of the Adjusted Term SOFR component no longer exist (which notice shall be given promptly after the Designated Agent has been advised by such Lender that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist).

SECTION 2.13. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (and under the Notes, if any), irrespective of any right of set-off or counterclaim, except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Foreign Currency, not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due, in Dollars to the Designated Agent at the Designated Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder, irrespective of any right of set-off or counterclaim, with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Foreign Currency, not later than 11:00 A.M. (at the Payment Office for such Foreign Currency) on the day when due, in such Foreign Currency to the Designated Agent, by deposit of such funds to the Designated Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Designated Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.11, 2.14, 8.04 and 8.08) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.19 or an extension of the Scheduled Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.20, and upon the Designated Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date or Extension Date, the Designated Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the Assuming Lender. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Designated Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes, if any, issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) All computations of interest based on the TIBO Rate, SONIA or clause (a) of the definition of “Base Rate” shall be made by the Designated Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all other computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Designated Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in each case of Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies where market practice differs, in accordance with such market practice after notification of the Borrower), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Designated Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes hereof, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes, if any, shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Term SOFR Advances, EURIBOR Advances or TIBOR Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(d) Unless the Designated Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Designated Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Designated Agent on such date and the Designated Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Designated Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Designated Agent, forthwith on demand, such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Designated Agent, at the greater of (i) the rate determined by the Designated Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount and (ii) the applicable Overnight Rate.

SECTION 2.14. Taxes. (a) Subject to Section 2.14(f), any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes, if any, shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.13, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of any Lender and the Designated Agent, taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) in the case of any Lender and the Designated Agent, taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or by any other jurisdiction in which such Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, is doing business that is unrelated to this Agreement, (iii) in the case of any Lender and the Designated Agent, U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such recipient with respect to an applicable interest in this Agreement, an Advance or a Commitment pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (A) such recipient acquires such interest in this Agreement, Advance or Commitment, or (B) such recipient changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.14, amounts with respect to such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholding, and all liabilities with respect thereto, were payable either to such recipient’s assignor immediately before such Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office, and (iv) in the case of any Lender and the Designated Agent or any other recipient of payments hereunder, any withholding taxes imposed under FATCA (all such excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges and liabilities being referred to as “Excluded Taxes”, and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities that are not Excluded Taxes being referred to as “Taxes”). Subject to Section 2.14(f), if the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions of Taxes (including deductions of Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) such Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes, if any, or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes, if any (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) (i) Subject to Section 2.14(f), the Borrower will indemnify each Lender and the Designated Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.14) paid by such Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties (to the extent not imposed as a result of such Lender’s or the Designated Agent’s, as the case may be, gross negligence or willful misconduct), interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor.

(ii) Each Lender will severally indemnify the Designated Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (A) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Designated Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (B) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.07(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (C) any Excluded Taxes that are attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Designated Agent in connection with this Agreement, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Designated Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Designated Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or otherwise payable by the Designated Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Designated Agent under this Section 2.14(c)(ii).

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the Designated Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, to the extent that such a receipt is issued, or if such receipt is not issued, other evidence of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Designated Agent.

(e) (i) Each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Designated Agent on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement, and each such Lender that is not a party hereto on the date hereof shall deliver to the Borrower and the Designated Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 8.07, as the case may be, two true, accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-9 for purposes of certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States backup withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement. Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Designated Agent on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement, and each such Lender that is not a party hereto on the date hereof shall deliver to the Borrower and the Designated Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 8.07, as the case may be, two true, accurate and complete original signed copies of (A) IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor or substitute form or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder), (B) IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor or substitute form or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder) or (C) IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor or substitute form or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder) accompanied by IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI, as appropriate, in each case for purposes of certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement. As applicable, each Lender further agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Designated Agent from time to time, as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Designated Agent, and in any case before or promptly upon the occurrence of any events requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.14(e), a true, accurate and complete signed copy of (A) IRS Form W-9 (or any successor or substitute form or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder), (B) IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor or substitute form or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder), (C) within 15 days prior to every third anniversary of the date of delivery of the initial IRS Form W-8ECI by such Lender (or more often if required by law) on which this Agreement is still in effect, IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor or substitute form or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder) or (D) IRS Form W-8IMY(or any successor or substitute form or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder) accompanied by IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI, as appropriate, in each case for purposes of certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement. If any form or document referred to in this Section 2.14(e)(i) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by IRS Forms W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E , W-8ECI or W-8IMY, that any Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender promptly shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Designated Agent and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information; provided that such Lender certifies to the Borrower that the failure to disclose such confidential information does not increase the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.14.

(ii) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to United States withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Designated Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Designated 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 Designated Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Designated 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 2.14(e)(ii) “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.14 to the contrary, for any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in Section 2.14(e) establishing its exemption from United States withholding tax or backup withholding tax on payments hereunder (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which such form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to any payments under this Section 2.14 with respect to United States withholding taxes; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to United States withholding taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such United States withholding taxes.

(g) Without affecting its rights under this Section 2.14 or any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender agrees that if any Taxes or Other Taxes are imposed and required by law to be paid or to be withheld from any amount payable to any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office with respect to which the Borrower would be obligated pursuant to this Section 2.14 to increase any amounts payable to such Lender or to pay any such Taxes or Other Taxes, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to select an alternative Applicable Lending Office which would not result in the imposition of such Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, however, that no Lender shall be obligated to select an alternative Applicable Lending Office if such Lender determines that (i) as a result of such selection, such Lender would be in violation of an applicable law, regulation or treaty, or would incur unreasonable additional costs or expenses, or (ii) such selection would be inadvisable for regulatory reasons or inconsistent with the interests of such Lender.

(h) Each Lender agrees with the Borrower that it will take all reasonable actions by all usual means (i) to secure and maintain the benefit of all benefits available to it under the provisions of any applicable double tax treaty concluded by the United States to which such Lender may be entitled by reason of the location of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or its place of incorporation or its status as an enterprise of any jurisdiction having any such applicable double tax treaty, if such benefit would reduce the amount payable by the Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.14, and (ii) otherwise to cooperate with the Borrower to minimize the amount payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14; provided, however, that no Lender shall be obliged to disclose to the Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations or to reorder its tax affairs or tax planning pursuant hereto.

(i) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.14(i) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(i), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.14(i) 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 paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(j) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.14 shall survive the payment in full of the principal and interest on all Advances and the termination of this Agreement until such date as all applicable statutes of limitations (including any extensions thereof) have expired with respect to such agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.14.

SECTION 2.15. Sharing of Payments, etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of the Advances made by it in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that (i) if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (B) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower or the Guarantor pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time), including Sections 2.11, 2.14, 2.16, 2.20, 2.21, 8.04 and 8.08, or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any Person that is an Eligible Assignee (as such term is defined from time to time). The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.16. Mandatory Assignment by a Lender; Mitigation. If any Lender (a) requests from the Borrower either reimbursement for increased costs pursuant to Section 2.11, or payment of or reimbursement for Taxes pursuant to Section 2.14, or if any Lender notifies the Designated Agent that it is unlawful for such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 2.12, (b) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver or consent that under Section 8.01 requires the consent of all the Lenders (or all the affected Lenders) and with respect to which the Majority Lenders shall have granted their consent or (c) is a Defaulting Lender, (i) in the case of clause (a), such Lender will, upon three Business Days’ notice by the Borrower to such Lender and the Designated Agent, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies and applicable legal and regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain its applicable Advances through another office of such Lender if (A) as a result thereof, the additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.14, as applicable, in respect of such Advances would be materially reduced or the provisions of Section 2.12 would not apply to such Lender, as applicable, and (B) as determined by such Lender in good faith but in its sole discretion, the making or maintaining of such Advances through such other office would not otherwise materially and adversely affect such Advances or such Lender and (ii) in case of clauses (a), (b) and (c), unless such Lender has theretofore taken steps to remove or cure, and has removed or cured, the conditions creating such obligation to pay such additional amounts or the circumstances described in Section 2.12 or has consented to the amendment, waiver or consent specified in clause (b), or is no longer a Defaulting Lender (other than if it became a Defaulting Lender due to a Bail-In Action, in which case such Borrower’s right shall continue notwithstanding), the Borrower may designate an Eligible Assignee to purchase for cash (pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance) all, but not less than all, of the Advances then owing to such Lender and to acquire and assume all, but not less than all, of such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Lender, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of each such Advance then owing to such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any accrued but unpaid fees owing thereto and, in addition, (A) all additional cost reimbursements, expense reimbursements and indemnities, if any, owing in respect of such Lender’s Commitment hereunder, and all other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Lender hereunder, at such time shall be paid to such Lender and (B) if such Eligible Assignee is not otherwise a Lender at such time, any applicable processing and recordation fee under Section 8.07(a) for such assignment shall have been paid; provided that, in the case of any assignment resulting from the circumstances specified in clause (b), the Eligible Assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent and, as a result of such assignment and any contemporaneous assignments, the applicable amendment, waiver or consent can be effected.

SECTION 2.17. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Designated Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and such Lender (each, a “Note”), payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to the Commitment of such Lender; provided, however, that the execution and delivery of such promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness shall not be a condition precedent to the making of any Advance under this Agreement.

(b) The Register maintained by the Designated Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances and currencies comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by the Designated Agent, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Designated Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Designated Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Designated Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.18. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.18, the Borrower will not use the proceeds of any Advance to purchase the capital stock of any corporation in a transaction, or as part of a series of transactions, (i) the purpose of which is, at the time of any such purchase, to acquire control of such corporation or (ii) the result of which is the ownership by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries of 10% or more of the capital stock of such corporation, in either case if the board of directors of such corporation has publicly announced its opposition to such transaction.

SECTION 2.19. Increase in the Aggregate Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, at any time, by notice to the Designated Agent, request that the aggregate amount of the Commitments be increased by an amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (each, a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date then in effect (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Designated Agent; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the sum of the aggregate amount of the Commitments hereunder and the aggregate amount of the commitments under the 2022 Credit Agreement, or any agreement extending or replacing the 2022 Credit Agreement, at any time exceed $8,000,000,000, (ii) no Event of Default, or event that with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of such request or as of the applicable Increase Date, or shall occur as a result thereof and (iii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.02 shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Increase Date, before and after giving effect to such increase.

(b) The Designated Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of a request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Commitments (the “Commitment Date”). Each Lender that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each, an “Increasing Lender”) shall give written notice to the Designated Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment. If the Lenders notify the Designated Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their respective Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated among the Lenders willing to participate therein in such amounts as are agreed between the Borrower and the Designated Agent. The failure of any Lender to respond shall be deemed to be a refusal of such Lender to increase its Commitment.

(c) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Designated Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase. If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in any requested Commitment Increase on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment Increase, then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders as of the applicable Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(d) On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.19(c) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.19(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Designated Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

(i) (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower or the Executive Committee (or other appropriate committee) of such Board approving the Commitment Increase and the corresponding modifications to this Agreement (unless such increase and corresponding modifications shall have been authorized by resolutions previously delivered to the Designated Agent hereunder) and (B) an opinion of counsel for the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel) in form and substance satisfactory to the Designated Agent;

(ii) an Assumption Agreement, duly executed by such Assuming Lender, the Designated Agent and the Borrower; and

(iii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Designated Agent.

(e) On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 2.19(d), the Designated Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), in writing, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date.

SECTION 2.20. Extension of Scheduled Termination Date. (a) At least 45 days but not more than 75 days prior to any Anniversary Date, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Designated Agent, request an extension of the Scheduled Termination Date in effect at such time by one calendar year from its then scheduled date; provided, however, that if the Borrower does not request an extension of the Scheduled Termination Date in a timely manner prior to any Anniversary Date it may, but shall not be obligated to, request that the Scheduled Termination Date be extended for two consecutive calendar years from its then scheduled date by making a request therefor in a timely manner prior to the next succeeding Anniversary Date. The Designated Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request, and each Lender shall in turn, in its sole discretion, not later than 30 days prior to the applicable Anniversary Date, notify the Borrower and the Designated Agent in writing as to whether such Lender will consent to such extension. If any Lender shall fail to notify the Designated Agent and the Borrower in writing of its consent to any such request for extension of the Scheduled Termination Date at least 30 days prior to the applicable Anniversary Date, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Declining Lender with respect to such request. The Designated Agent shall notify the Borrower not later than 25 days prior to the applicable Anniversary Date of the decision of the Lenders regarding the Borrower’s request for an extension of the Scheduled Termination Date.

(b) If all of the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.20, the Scheduled Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as of the applicable Anniversary Date (or such earlier date as shall be agreed by the Borrower and the Designated Agent) (the “Extension Date”), be extended for one calendar year or two calendar years, as properly requested; provided that (i) on such Extension Date, no Event of Default, or event that with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, or would occur as a consequence thereof, and (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.02 shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Extension Date, before and after giving effect to the extension of the Scheduled Termination Date. If fewer than all of the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.20, subject to the Borrower’s satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Scheduled Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, be extended as to those Lenders that so consented (each, an “Extending Lender”) but shall not be extended as to any other Lender (each, a “Declining Lender”). To the extent that the Commitment of any Declining Lender is not assumed in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 2.20 on or prior to the applicable Extension Date, the Commitment of such Declining Lender shall automatically terminate in whole on the Scheduled Termination Date theretofore in effect without any further notice or other action by the Borrower, such Lender or any other Person, and any outstanding Advances due to such Declining Lender shall be paid in full on such Scheduled Termination Date (and on such Scheduled Termination Date the Borrower shall also make such other prepayments of Advances as shall be required in order that, after giving effect thereto and to the termination of the Commitments of, and all payments to, the Declining Lenders pursuant to this sentence, the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Dollars then outstanding and (B) the Equivalent in Dollars of the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies then outstanding will not exceed the aggregate Commitments); provided that such Declining Lender’s rights under Sections 2.11, 2.14, 8.04 and 8.08, and its obligations under Section 7.05, shall survive the Termination Date for such Lender as to matters occurring prior to such date. It is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Borrower for any requested extension of the Scheduled Termination Date.

(c) If there are any Declining Lenders, the Borrower may arrange for one or more Extending Lenders or other Eligible Assignees that will agree to the applicable extension of the Scheduled Termination Date to assume, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, any Declining Lender’s Commitment and all of the obligations of such Declining Lender under this Agreement thereafter arising, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Declining Lender; provided, however, that the amount of the Commitment of any such Assuming Lender as a result of such substitution shall in no event be less than $25,000,000 unless the amount of the Commitment of such Declining Lender is less than $25,000,000, in which case such Assuming Lender shall assume all of such lesser amount; provided further that:

(i) any such Extending Lender or Assuming Lender shall have paid to such Declining Lender (A) the aggregate principal amount of, and any interest accrued and unpaid to the effective date of the assignment on, the outstanding Advances, if any, of such Declining Lender plus (B) any accrued but unpaid fees owing to such Declining Lender as of the effective date of such assignment;

(ii) all additional cost reimbursements, expense reimbursements and indemnities payable to such Declining Lender, and all other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Declining Lender hereunder, as of the effective date of such assignment shall have been paid to such Declining Lender; and

(iii) with respect to any such Assuming Lender, any applicable processing and recordation fee required under Section 8.07(a) for such assignment shall have been paid;

provided further that such Declining Lender’s rights under Sections 2.11, 2.14, 8.04 and 8.08, and its obligations under Section 7.05, shall survive such substitution as to matters occurring prior to the date of substitution. At least three Business Days prior to the applicable Extension Date, (A) each such Assuming Lender, if any, shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Designated Agent an Assumption Agreement duly executed by such Assuming Lender, such Declining Lender, the Borrower and the Designated Agent and (B) each such Extending Lender shall have delivered confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Designated Agent as to the increase in the amount of its Commitment. Each Declining Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall deliver to the Designated Agent on or before the applicable Extension Date any Note or Notes held by such Declining Lender. Upon the payment or prepayment of all amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, each such Extending Lender or Assuming Lender, as of the applicable Extension Date, will be substituted for such Declining Lender under this Agreement and shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, without any further acknowledgment by or the consent of the other Lenders, and the obligations of each such Declining Lender hereunder shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged.

(d) If all of the Extending Lenders and Assuming Lenders (after giving effect to any assignments and assumptions pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 2.20) consent in writing to the requested extension (whether by written consent pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.20, by execution and delivery of an Assumption Agreement or otherwise) not later than one Business Day prior to the applicable Extension Date, the Designated Agent shall so notify the Borrower, and, so long as (i) no Event of Default, or event that with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing as of the applicable Extension Date, or would occur as a consequence thereof and (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.02 shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the applicable Extension Date, before and after giving effect to such extension of the Scheduled Termination Date, the Scheduled Termination Date then in effect shall be extended for the additional one-year period or two-year period, as the case may be, as described in subsection (a) of this Section 2.20, and all references in this Agreement, and in the Notes, if any, to the “Scheduled Termination Date” shall, with respect to each Extending Lender and each Assuming Lender for such Extension Date, refer to the Scheduled Termination Date as so extended. Promptly following each Extension Date, the Designated Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) of the extension of the Scheduled Termination Date in effect immediately prior thereto and shall thereupon record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each such Extending Lender and each such Assuming Lender.

SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if one or more Lenders become Defaulting Lenders, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as any such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i) no commitment fee shall accrue or at any time be payable for such period on the unused amount of the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.03; and

(ii) the Commitment and outstanding Advances of each Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded in determining whether the requisite Lenders shall have taken any action hereunder (including any consent to any waiver, amendment or other modification pursuant to Section 8.01); provided that any waiver, amendment or other modification referred to in clauses (b), (c) or (d) of Section 8.01 shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(b) Any amount payable to a Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 but excluding Section 2.16) shall, unless the Borrower otherwise agrees in writing in its sole discretion, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Designated Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Designated Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Designated Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Designated Agent, (iii) third, if so determined by the Designated Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (iv) fourth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (v) fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) In the event that the Designated Agent and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then (i) such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes hereof (but shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fees accrued during the period when it was a Defaulting Lender, and all waivers, amendments and other modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.01 and this Section 2.21 during such period shall be binding on it) and (ii) such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Advances of the other Lenders as the Designated Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for the Lenders to hold such Advances ratably in accordance with their Commitments.

(d) No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section, performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of the operation of this Section. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower, the Designated Agent or any Non-Defaulting Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE VII

THE DESIGNATED AGENT

SECTION 7.01. Authorization and Action. (a) Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Designated Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Designated Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement or collection of the Advances), the Designated Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Designated Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, exposes the Designated Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Designated Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by any Loan Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The motivations of the Designated Agent are commercial in nature and not to invest in the general performance or operations of the Borrower and its subsidiaries. The Designated Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default, or any event that with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein with reference to the Designated Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties).

(b) The Designated Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder through any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the exculpatory provisions of this Article VII and the provisions of Sections 8.04 and 8.08 shall apply to any such Affiliate of the Designated Agent and the Designated Agent shall remain responsible for the performance of such duties.

(c) The Co-Administrative Agents, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Managing Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners named on the cover of this Agreement shall have no duties under this Agreement other than those afforded to them in their capacities as Lenders, and each Lender hereby acknowledges that the Co-Administrative Agents, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Managing Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners have no liability under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.02. Exculpatory Provisions; Designated Agent’s Reliance. Neither the Designated Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Designated Agent: (i) may treat the Lender which made any Advance as the holder of the Debt resulting therefrom until the Designated Agent receives and accepts an Assumption Agreement entered into by an Assuming Lender as provided in Section 2.19 or 2.20, as the case may be, or an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by such Lender, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided in Section 8.07; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iv) shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default, or any event that with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Designated Agent by any Loan Party or any Lender and shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of any Loan Party or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any member of the Consolidated Group; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (vi) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to whether any Lender is a Defaulting Lender; and (vii) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be received by e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

SECTION 7.03. The Designated Agent and its Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment and the Advances made by it and any Note or Notes issued to it, the Designated Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Designated Agent; and the term “Lender” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Designated Agent in its individual capacity. The Designated Agent and its respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, all as if the Designated Agent were not the Designated Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

SECTION 7.04. Acknowledgment of Lenders. (a) Each Lender acknowledges that (i) this Agreement sets forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) in participating as a Lender it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of investing in the general performance or operations of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, or for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument such as a security (and each Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing, such as a claim under the federal or state securities law), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Designated Agent, any Co-Administrative Agent, Co-Syndication Agent, Co-Documentation Agent, Managing Agent, Joint Lead Arranger or Joint Bookrunner named on the cover of this Agreement or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(c) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender and to make, acquire or hold loans or other credit extensions hereunder and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Designated Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

(b) (i) If the Designated Agent (A) notifies a Lender, or any Person that has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”), that the Designated Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under the immediately succeeding paragraph) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Designated Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Designated Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted by or received from the Designated Agent or any of its Affiliates as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (B) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Designated Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this clause (B) and held in trust for the benefit of the Designated Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient that received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the Designated Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Designated Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Designated Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Designated Agent in same day funds at the applicable Overnight Rate.

(ii) Without limiting the immediately preceding paragraph, each Lender or any Person that has received funds on behalf of a Lender agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Designated Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Designated Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Designated Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(a)

it acknowledges and agrees that (i) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Designated Agent to the contrary) or (ii) an error and mistake have been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(b)

such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Designated Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Designated Agent pursuant to this clause (b)(ii).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Designated Agent pursuant to this clause (b)(ii) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to clause (b)(i) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(iii) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Designated Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Designated Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Designated Agent has demanded to be returned under the immediately preceding clause (b)(i).

(iv) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Designated Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with the immediately preceding clause (b)(i), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient that received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Designated Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Designated Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Designated Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Designated Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Advances to the Borrower or the Designated Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Designated Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Designated Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall relinquish its rights as a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its Commitment, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Designated Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Designated Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitment of any Lender and such Commitment shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(v) Subject to Section 8.07 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (other than any required consent of the Borrower)), the Designated Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the Designated Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Designated Agent on or with respect to any such Advances acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Advances are then owned by the Designated Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Designated Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Designated Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(vi) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Designated Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Designated Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient that has received funds on behalf of a Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such obligations in respect of Advances that have been assigned to the Designated Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Designated Agent from the Borrower or the Guarantor for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(vii) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Designated Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(viii) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under Section 7.04(b) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Designated Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

SECTION 7.05. Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify the Designated Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties but without affecting any Loan Party’s obligations with respect thereto), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of Advances then owing to each of them (or, if no Advances are at the time outstanding, ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments, or if no Commitments are then in effect, ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments most recently in effect), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Designated Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Designated Agent under this Agreement in its capacity as such; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Designated Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Designated Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Designated Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal or bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Designated Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Loan Parties. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Designated Agent, any Lender, any Loan Party or a third party.

SECTION 7.06. Successor Designated Agent. The Designated Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and such resignation shall be effective upon the appointment of a successor Designated Agent as provided herein. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right (with the consent of the Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) to appoint a successor Designated Agent (which shall be a Lender). If no successor Designated Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Designated Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Designated Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Designated Agent.

Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Designated Agent hereunder by a successor Designated Agent, such successor Designated Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Designated Agent, and the retiring Designated Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Designated Agent’s resignation hereunder as Designated Agent, the provisions of this Article VII and Sections 2.14, 8.04 and 8.08 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Designated Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.07. Enforcement of the Guaranty. Each Guaranty Beneficiary hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article IX hereof, no Guaranty Beneficiary shall have any right individually to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Guaranty may be exercised solely by the Designated Agent, for the benefit of the Guaranty Beneficiaries, in accordance with the terms thereof, and that each Guaranty Beneficiary hereby authorizes the Designated Agent to be the agent for and representative of the Guaranty Beneficiaries with respect to the Guaranty and to exercise all such powers, rights and remedies on its behalf.

or, as to the Borrower, the Guarantor or the Designated Agent, at such other address (or email) as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address (or email) as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the Borrower and the Designated Agent; provided that materials required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(e)(i) or 5.01(e)(ii) shall be delivered to the Designated Agent as specified in Section 8.02(b) or as otherwise specified to the Borrower by the Designated Agent; and provided further that such materials shall be deemed delivered to the Designated Agent to the extent posted and available on the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov. All such notices and other communications shall, when sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, be effective when received, and when sent by e-mail, be effective upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment).

(b) Each Loan Party agrees that the Designated Agent may make materials required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(e)(i) and 5.01(e)(ii), as well as any other written information, documents, instruments (other than the Notes) and other material relating to any member of the Consolidated Group or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on IntraLinks or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”). Each Loan Party acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Designated Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Designated Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform.

(c) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that if reasonably requested by any Lender, the Designated Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender by e-mail. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Designated Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail addresses to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Designated Agent has on record the effective e-mail addresses for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

SECTION 8.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Designated Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 8.04. Costs and Expenses. (a) The Borrower agrees promptly to pay all actual, reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the actual, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one counsel) of the Designated Agent in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and all related documentation and the syndication of the credit facility established hereby. The Borrower further agrees to pay, within five Business Days of demand, all actual, reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Designated Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement (whether through legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 8.04(a); provided, that any such costs and expenses consisting of fees and expenses of counsel shall be limited to the actual, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one counsel for the Designated Agent and no more than one additional counsel for the Lenders as a group (together with (i) such local counsel, limited in each case to one such local counsel for the Designated Agent and one such local counsel for the Lenders as a group per jurisdiction, that may be reasonably required by the Designated Agent or the Lenders and (ii) if any Lender shall have reasonably concluded (based upon the advice of counsel) that its representation by counsel for the Lenders creates a conflict of interest for such counsel, such separate counsel as such Lender may reasonably require).

(b) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Term SOFR Advance, EURIBOR Advance or TIBOR Advance is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.10 or acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason (other than by reason of a payment pursuant to Section 2.12), the Borrower shall, within five Business Days of demand by any Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Designated Agent), pay to such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.

(c) All obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.04 shall survive the making and repayment of the Advances and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Designated Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding trust accounts) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or, prior to the Guaranty Release Date, the Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or the Guarantor, as applicable, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Designated Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 8.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective as specified in Section 3.01 and, thereafter, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Guarantor (prior to the Guaranty Release Date), the Designated Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Loan Party shall have any right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void).

SECTION 8.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may and, if requested by the Borrower upon notice by the Borrower delivered to such Lender and the Designated Agent pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 2.16 will, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the amount (without duplication) of the Commitment and pro-rata share of outstanding Advances of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance) shall not be less than $12,500,000 (unless the assigning Lender shall assign its entire interest hereunder or such lesser amount is previously agreed among such assigning Lender, the Designated Agent and the Borrower) or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the sum of (A) the amount (without duplication) of the Commitment and pro-rata share of outstanding Advances of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment and (B) the amount of the commitment and pro-rata share of outstanding advances of the assigning Lender being contemporaneously assigned under the 2022 Credit Agreement, or any agreement extending or replacing the 2022 Credit Agreement, by the Person that is such assigning Lender (in both cases determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance or similar agreement with respect to such assignments) shall not be less than $25,000,000 in the aggregate (unless the assigning Lender shall assign its entire interest hereunder and thereunder or such lesser amount is previously agreed among such assigning Lender, the Designated Agent and the Borrower) or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of the Commitment of such assigning Lender hereunder and its commitment under the 2022 Credit Agreement, or any agreement extending or replacing the 2022 Credit Agreement, is less than $25,000,000 on the date of such proposed assignment, such assigning Lender may assign all, but not less than all, of its remaining rights and obligations under this Agreement and the 2022 Credit Agreement, or any agreement extending or replacing the 2022 Credit Agreement (unless an assignment of a portion of such assigning Lender’s obligations hereunder and thereunder is otherwise previously agreed among such assigning Lender, the Designated Agent and the Borrower), (iv) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (v) the parties to each such assignment (other than the Borrower) shall execute and deliver to the Designated Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that the Designated Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment and (vi) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Designated Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than any rights such Lender assignor may have under Sections 2.11, 2.14, 8.04 and 8.08) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any member of the Consolidated Group or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(c), and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Designated Agent, such assigning Lender 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 decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Designated Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Designated Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c) The Designated Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance and each Assumption Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Designated Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Loan Party or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to the Designated Agent.

(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee and, if applicable, the Borrower, together with any Note subject to such assignment, the Designated Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

(e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances owing to it and any Note issued to it hereunder); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Loan Parties, the Designated Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) such Lender shall not agree in any participation agreement with any participant or proposed participant to obtain the consent of such participant before agreeing to the amendment, modification or waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement or any Note, before consenting to any action or failure to act by the Borrower or any other party hereunder or under any Note, or before exercising any rights it may have in respect thereof, unless such amendment, modification, waiver, consent or exercise would (A) increase or extend the scheduled expiration of the amount of such participant’s portion of such Lender’s Commitment, (B) reduce the principal amount of or rate of interest on the Advances or any fee or other amounts payable hereunder to which such participant would be entitled to receive a share under such participation agreement, or (C) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Advances or any fee or other amounts payable hereunder to which such participant would be entitled to receive a share under such participation agreement. 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 (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Advances, Notes or its other obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is requested by such Person and is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Advance, Note or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Designated Agent (in its capacity as Designated Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 8.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to any Loan Party furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of any Loan Party in writing and directly related to the transactions contemplated hereunder; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to any Loan Party received by it from such Lender in accordance with the terms of Section 8.09.

(g) No participation or assignment hereunder shall be made in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time, or any applicable state securities laws, and each Lender hereby represents that it will make any Advance for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and not with a view to the public distribution or sale thereof.

(h) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time assign or create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and any Note issued to it hereunder) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank or any foreign central bank having authority over such Lender in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board (or any successor regulation thereto), any applicable operating circular of such Federal Reserve Bank or any other regulation issued by the applicable foreign central bank; 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.

SECTION 8.08. Indemnification; Limitation of Liability. (a) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Designated Agent, each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of, or in connection with the preparation for a defense of, any investigation, litigation or proceeding (whether or not an Indemnified Party is a party thereto) arising out of, related to or in connection with the Commitments hereunder or the Advances made hereunder or any transactions in connection herewith, including, without limitation, any transaction in which any proceeds of the Advances are, or are proposed to be, applied (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Party under this Section 8.08(a) with respect to (i) matters for which such Indemnified Party has been reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, but only to the extent of such reimbursement, or (ii) Indemnified Matters found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party. If any action is brought against any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of the institution of such action and the Borrower shall thereupon have the right, at its option, to elect to assume the defense of such action; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not, in assuming the defense of any Indemnified Party in any Indemnified Matter, agree to any dismissal or settlement of such Indemnified Matter without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, if such dismissal or settlement (A) would require any admission or acknowledgment of culpability or wrongdoing by such Indemnified Party or (B) would provide for any non-monetary relief to any Person to be performed by such Indemnified Party. If the Borrower so elects, it shall promptly assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel (reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party) and payment of expenses. Such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (1) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Borrower in connection with the defense of such action or (2) the Borrower shall not have properly employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to have charge of the defense of such action, in which case such fees and expenses shall be paid by the Borrower. If an Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded (based upon the advice of counsel) that the representation by one counsel of such Indemnified Party and any Loan Party creates a conflict of interest for such counsel, the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Borrower and the Borrower shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party (but shall retain the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Borrower). Anything in this Section 8.08(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for any Indemnified Party in any jurisdiction as to any Indemnified Matter or for any settlement of any Indemnified Matter effected without its written consent. All obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.08(a) shall survive the making and repayment of the Advances and the termination of this Agreement. This Section 8.08(a) shall not apply with respect to any Taxes indemnified under Section 2.14 or any Excluded Taxes.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any losses, claims, demands, damages, penalties or liabilities of any kind, on any theory of liability, against any other party hereto or, in the case of the Loan Parties, against any Lender-Related Person for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or the use of the proceeds thereof or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby; provided that, nothing in this paragraph shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnified Party as provided in Section 8.08(a) or in any other Loan Document, against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnified Party by a third party.

SECTION 8.09. Confidentiality. None of the Designated Agent or the Lenders may disclose to any Person any confidential, proprietary or non-public information of the Borrower or any member of the Consolidated Group furnished to the Designated Agent or the Lenders by or on behalf of any member of the Consolidated Group (such information being referred to collectively herein as the “Borrower Information”), except that each of the Designated Agent and each of the Lenders may disclose Borrower Information (a) to its Affiliates and its and their respective employees, officers, directors, agents, auditors and advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Borrower Information and instructed to keep such Borrower Information confidential on substantially the same terms as provided herein), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 8.09, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party to any swap, derivative or other transaction, or any actual or prospective provider of insurance or other mitigation coverage, under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and any of its obligations with respect to the 2022 Credit Agreement, the 364-Day Credit Agreement, this Agreement or payments hereunder or thereunder, (g) to the extent such Borrower Information (i) is or becomes generally available to the public on a non-confidential basis, other than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.09 by the Designated Agent or such Lender, or (ii) is or becomes available to the Designated Agent or such Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, its Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, agents, auditors and advisors, provided such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement or other legal or fiduciary obligations of secrecy with the Borrower or its Affiliates with respect to the Borrower Information and (h) with the consent of the Borrower.

SECTION 8.10. Patriot Act. Each Lender and the Designated Agent hereby notifies each Loan Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow it to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act and 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230. Each Loan Party shall promptly provide such information upon request by any Lender or the Designated Agent.

SECTION 8.11. Judgment. (a) If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Designated Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at the Designated Agent’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which a final judgment is given.

(b) If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in a Foreign Currency into Dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Designated Agent could purchase such Foreign Currency with Dollars at the Designated Agent’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(c) The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Primary Currency”) to any Lender or the Designated Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be due in such other currency, such Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, in the applicable Primary Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to such Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess.

SECTION 8.12. Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. All judicial proceedings brought against any Loan Party with respect to this Agreement or any instrument or other documents delivered hereunder may be brought in any state or Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan in the State of New York, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Loan Party accepts, for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement or any instrument or other document delivered hereunder from which no appeal has been taken or is available. Each Loan Party appoints Corporation Service Company, 80 State Street, Albany, NY 12207-2543, or any other address in the State of New York communicated by Corporation Service Company to the Designated Agent, as its agent to receive on its behalf service of all process in any such proceeding in any such court, such service being hereby acknowledged by each Loan Party to be effective and binding service in every respect.

SECTION 8.13. Substitution of Currency. If a change in any Foreign Currency occurs pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental, monetary or multi-national authority, this Agreement will be amended to the extent determined by the Designated Agent (acting reasonably, in consultation with the Borrower and in accordance with the terms of Section 8.01) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the Lenders and the Borrower in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in such Foreign Currency had occurred.

SECTION 8.14. Governing Law. This Agreement and any claims, controversies, disputes or causes of actions (whether in contract or tort or otherwise and in law or equity) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 8.15. Execution in Counterparts; Electronic Signatures; Interpretation. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document, consent, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 8.02), certificate, request, statement or authorization related to this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Ancillary Documents”) by e-mail or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature” and words of like import in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. A full set of executed counterparts of this Agreement shall be lodged with the Designated Agent and the Borrower. Any Notes issued hereunder shall be delivered in original hard copy to the Lender requesting such Note. This Agreement and the Notes constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including the commitments of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates under any commitment advices with respect to the credit facility established hereby submitted by any Lender (but do not supersede any provisions of any fee letter executed by any Loan Party in connection with this Agreement).

SECTION 8.16. Severability. 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. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the prohibited or unenforceable provision with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited or unenforceable provision.

SECTION 8.17. No Fiduciary Relationship. Each Loan Party, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Designated Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates are acting pursuant to a contractual relationship on an arm’s-length basis, and the parties hereto do not intend that the Designated Agent, the Lenders or their Affiliates act or be responsible as a fiduciary to any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each of the Loan Parties, the Designated Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship and agrees they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with respect to any transactions entered into between them.

SECTION 8.18. Non-Public Information. Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by any Loan Party or the Designated Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information with respect to any Loan Party, its subsidiaries or their securities. Each Lender represents to each Loan Party and the Designated Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of such material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified to the Designated Agent a credit contact who may receive information that may contain such material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws.

SECTION 8.19. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement 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 the applicable Resolution Authority (exercised in accordance with the relevant Bail-In Legislation) 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 arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

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

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

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, subject to the right of such recipient to decline ownership of such shares or other instruments of ownership, in which case, subject as provided in the relevant Bail-In Legislation, any such liability may be reduced or cancelled, as the case may be, to the same extent as if such shares or other instruments of ownership had been accepted; or

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

SECTION 8.20. Waiver of Notice Period in Connection with Termination of Existing Credit Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement (except for the indemnification, expense reimbursement, yield protection, confidentiality and other provisions contained therein that by their terms expressly survive termination of the Existing Credit Agreement), and all “Commitments” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, are hereby terminated. Each Lender that is a party to the Existing Credit Agreement hereby waives any notice required for the termination of the “Commitments” thereunder.

ARTICLE IX

GUARANTY

SECTION 9.01. The Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the full and punctual payment when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of all obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, (i) the principal of and interest on each Advance made to the Borrower and (ii) all other amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all fees, expenses, reimbursements, indemnities and other monetary obligations, whether absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, including monetary obligations incurred under this Agreement or any other Loan Document during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar process, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding (all of the foregoing being referred to collectively as the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Upon the failure by the Borrower to pay punctually when due any such amount, subject to any applicable grace or notice and cure period, the Guarantor agrees that it shall forthwith pay such amount at the place and in the manner specified in this Agreement. The Guarantor hereby agrees that the Guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable (except as provided by Section 9.08) and unconditional guaranty of payment and is not a guaranty of collection.

SECTION 9.02. Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantor under the Guaranty shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, indulgence, compromise, waiver or release of or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether, in any such case, by operation of law or otherwise, or any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations that have not yet arisen);

(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any such amendment which may increase the amount of, or the interest rates applicable to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby; provided that the Guarantor has consented to any such modification, amendment or supplement in writing if its consent thereto is otherwise required under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

(c) any change in the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or the Guarantor, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or any of its assets, in each case other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations that have not yet arisen);

(d) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any Guaranty Beneficiary or any other Person, whether in connection with the Guaranty or in connection with any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing in this Article IX shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(e) the unenforceability or invalidity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the lack of genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto, or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than any defense that the Borrower has for payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations that have not yet arisen)) for any reason related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable law, decree, order or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise affecting any term of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(f) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any Guaranty Beneficiary or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 9.02, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Guarantor’s obligations under this Article IX or otherwise reduce, release, prejudice or extinguish its liability under the Guaranty, in each case other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations that have not yet arisen) or performance by the Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.03. Continuing Guaranty; Discharge and Reinstatement. Subject to Section 9.08, the Guarantor’s obligations under this Article IX shall constitute a continuing and irrevocable guarantee of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash (other than contingent obligations that have not yet arisen) and the Commitments shall have terminated or expired, at which time, subject to all the foregoing conditions, the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guaranty shall automatically terminate. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Advance or any other Guaranteed Obligation (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff) is rescinded, or is or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any Guaranty Beneficiary in its discretion), the Guarantor’s obligations under the Guaranty with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

SECTION 9.04. Waivers. The Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance of the Guaranty, presentment, demand or action on delinquency, protest, the benefit of any statute of limitations and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for in this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX, the Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law:

(a) any right it may have to revoke the Guaranty as to future indebtedness or notice of acceptance hereof;

(b) (i) notice of acceptance of the Guaranty; (ii) notice of any Advances or other financial accommodations made or extended under the Loan Documents or the creation or existence of any Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) notice of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject, however, to the Guarantor’s right to make inquiry of the Guaranty Beneficiaries to ascertain the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations at any reasonable time; (iv) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower or of any other fact that might increase the Guarantor’s risk hereunder; (v) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instruments among the Loan Documents, other than demand for payment under the Guaranty; (vi) notice of any Event of Default or any event or condition that constitutes, or upon notice, lapse of time or both would constitute, an Event of Default; and (vii) all other notices (except if such notice is expressly required to be given to the Guarantor hereunder) and demands to which the Guarantor might otherwise expressly be entitled; and

(c) its right, if any, to require any Guaranty Beneficiary or any other Person to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which any Guaranty Beneficiary or any other Person have or may have against, any third party.

SECTION 9.05. Subrogation. The Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights against the Borrower with respect to any payments it makes under the Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under the Guaranty have been paid in full in cash (other than contingent obligations that have not yet arisen) and all Commitments have terminated. If any amounts are paid to the Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranty Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid to such Persons to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

SECTION 9.06. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor under the Guaranty forthwith on demand by the Designated Agent.

SECTION 9.07. Taxes. The Guarantor agrees that the provisions of Section 2.14 shall be applicable, mutatis mutandis, to all payments required to be made by the Guarantor under the Guaranty, as if each reference in such Section to the Borrower were a reference to the Guarantor.

SECTION 9.08. Release of Guarantor. (a) The Guarantor shall, upon the occurrence of any of the following events, be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from the Guaranty and, subject to Section 9.08(c), all of its other obligations under this Agreement shall cease to have any rights hereunder and shall automatically cease to be a party hereto, in each case, without any action required on the part of the Designated Agent, any Lender or any other Guaranty Beneficiary:

(i) upon written notice to the Designated Agent, at such time as (A) the Guarantor is not (x) an issuer of any debt securities or (y) a guarantor under the 2022 Credit Agreement or the 364-Day Credit Agreement or, in each case, any agreement extending or replacing any of the foregoing, or under debt securities of the Borrower (or, in each case under this clause (i), the Guarantor is released or discharged from all such indebtedness substantially concurrently with the release and discharge of the Guaranty), or (B) the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness for borrowed money (without duplication) issued or borrowed by all Subsidiaries of the Borrower (collectively) (other than any indebtedness for borrowed money represented by the Guaranty or guarantees of third party indebtedness) constitutes (or, as a result of any event or circumstance occurring or arising substantially concurrently therewith, will constitute) no more than 10.0% of the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than any indebtedness for borrowed money represented by guarantees of third party indebtedness), on a consolidated basis, as of such time; or

(ii) upon the sale, transfer or disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of all or substantially all of the equity interests or assets of the Guarantor to another Person (other than to the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries).

(b) From and after the Guaranty Release Date, any reference to “any Loan Party”, “each Loan Party” or “the Loan Parties”, or references of similar import, shall be deemed to refer solely to the Borrower.

(c) Notwithstanding the occurrence of the Guaranty Release Date or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Section 9.08, the Guarantor shall remain bound by its agreements set forth in Sections 8.08(b) and 8.17 as if no Guaranty Release Date shall have occurred and the Guarantor continued to be a party hereto.
