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

THE CREDITS

Section 2.01. Commitments.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) The Delayed Draw Loans. Subject to the terms set forth herein, each Lender party hereto agrees to make Delayed Draw Loans in U.S. Dollars to the Borrower on any Business Day during the Delayed Draw Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) any Lender’s outstanding Delayed Draw Loans exceeding such Lender’s Delayed Draw Loan Commitment then in effect or (ii) the aggregate outstanding Delayed Draw Loans of all Lenders exceeding the Total Delayed Draw Loan Commitments then in effect, in each case, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof. Such Delayed Draw Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans as further provided herein.

(c) Minimum Delayed Draw Term Loans. To the extent the Loans are available to be drawn hereunder, including pursuant to Article IV, the Borrower agrees that on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date, it will draw Loans in an amount at least equal to [*]% of the Maximum GPU Amount as of the Commitment Termination Date.

Section 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. Each Loan to the Borrower shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders rateably in accordance with their respective Commitments under the applicable Facility. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and not joint and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

Section 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Request (or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent) and signed by the Borrower not later than 12:00 noon, New York time, fourteen (14) Business Days (it being understood and agreed that such fourteen (14) Business Day deadline may be the same fourteen (14) Business Day notice deadline applicable to the Funding Date Schedule to the extent the Funding Date Schedule will be updated in accordance thereof) (or, with respect to the initial Borrowings of Delayed Draw Term Loans, five (5) Business Days) before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(a) whether the Borrowing is to be comprised of Term SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans (if no election as to the Type of a Borrowing is specified in the applicable Borrowing Request, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing) and, if the Borrowing is to be Term SOFR Loans, the Interest Period applicable to such Loans (if no Interest Period is stated in the Borrowing Request, the Borrower will be deemed to have elected a three-month Interest Period),

(b) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing,

(d) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed or such other account (which shall be a General Account) that is otherwise provided in a customary funds flow memorandum provided to the Administrative Agent and reasonably approved thereby, and

(e) the serial numbers, quantity, and purchase orders with respect to the applicable [*] GPU Servers or [*] GPU Servers (including a calculation of the Projected Contracted Cash Flows to the Borrower in respect of such [*] GPU Servers or [*] GPU Servers, as applicable) to be acquired (or that have been acquired since the immediately preceding Borrowing) in connection with the Borrowing.

Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.04. Funding of Borrowings. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it to the Borrower hereunder by 1:00 p.m. New York time on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to such account of the Borrower as is designated by the Borrower in the Borrowing Request.

Section 2.05. Conversion and Continuation Elections.

(a) The Borrower shall have the option to (i) request that any Loan be made as a Term SOFR Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Loans from Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, (iii) convert any Term SOFR Loan to a Base Rate Loan, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Loan as a Term SOFR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period. Any Loan having the same proposed Interest Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, a Term SOFR Loan must be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Lender Representative) may agree). Any such election must be made by the Borrower by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to (A) the date of any proposed Loan which is to bear interest at Term SOFR, (B) the end of each Interest Period with respect to any Term SOFR Loans to be continued as such, or (C) the date on which the Borrower wishes to convert any Base Rate Loan to a Term SOFR Loan for an Interest Period designated by the Borrower in such election. If no election is received with respect to a Term SOFR Loan by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the end of the Interest Period with respect thereto, that Term SOFR Loan shall be converted to a Term SOFR Loan with a three-month Interest Period. The Borrower must make such election by notice to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans in writing, including by electronic transmission. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) substantially in the form of Exhibit E or in a writing in any other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Lender Representative). No Loan shall be made, converted into or continued as a Term SOFR Loan if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of the proposed conversion or continuation and the Required Lenders have determined in writing not to make or continue any Loan as a Term SOFR Loan as a result thereof.

(b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, as the case may be. In addition, the Administrative Agent will, with reasonable promptness, notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of Term SOFR; provided that any failure to do so shall not relieve the Borrower of any liability hereunder or provide the basis for any claim against the Administrative Agent. All conversions and continuations shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loan held by each Lender with respect to which the notice was given.

Section 2.06. Termination of Commitments. The parties hereto acknowledge that:

(a) [Reserved].

(b) Delayed Draw Loan Commitments.

(i) Upon each Borrowing of Delayed Draw Loans, the Delayed Draw Loan Commitments of each Lender will be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of Delayed Draw Loans made by such Lender in connection with such Borrowing. The Delayed Draw Loan Commitments of each Lender will terminate at 11:59 p.m. New York time on the final day of the Delayed Draw Availability Period; and

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, after the Termination Blackout Date and solely to the extent a GPU Server Disruption has occurred, the Borrower and the Lender Representative may mutually agree in their good faith determinations, at or about the time of such occurrence, to terminate, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, the Delayed

Draw Loan Commitments; provided that each reduction of the Delayed Draw Loan Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000. The Borrower and Lender Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent, in writing, of any election to terminate or reduce the Delayed Draw Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(ii) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Any termination or reduction pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(ii) shall apply proportionately and permanently to reduce the Delayed Draw Commitments of each of the applicable Lenders.

(c) Automatic Termination. If the initial funding of Delayed Draw Term Loans has not occurred on or prior to the Termination Blackout Date, the Commitments shall be reduced to zero and this Agreement shall contemporaneously terminate and be of no force and effect, other than the rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities of the Agents expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, which shall survive in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 2.07. 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 Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.07(a) or 2.07(b) shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the records maintained by any Lender and the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent in such matters, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(d) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it to the Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit G. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute, and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including, to the extent requested by any assignee, after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.08. Scheduled Payment of Loans.

(a) On each Quarterly Payment Date, the Borrower shall repay the Loans (commencing on first Quarterly Payment Date to occur after the Closing Date) in amount equal to the greater of (i) beginning on the first Quarterly Payment Date falling after March 31, 2024, the Fixed Amortization Amount, (ii) an amount such that, after giving pro forma effect to such repayment, the remaining principal amount of Loans outstanding hereunder shall be no greater than the aggregate Projected

Contracted Cash Flows as of such Quarterly Payment Date and (iii) beginning on the first Quarterly Payment Date falling after December 31, 2024, an amount such that, after giving pro forma effect to such repayment, the remaining principal amount of Loans outstanding hereunder shall be no greater than the Maximum GPU Amount as of such Quarterly Payment Date. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by written notice of the amount of Loans to be repaid not later than 12:00 noon, New York time, one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment (or such later times to which the Administrative Agent may agree), together with a reasonably detailed calculation thereof, which may be furnished to any Lender upon request.

(b) The Borrower shall repay all unpaid principal and other amounts due in respect of the Loans on the Term Maturity Date.

Section 2.09. Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayments.

(i) Mechanics. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.09(a)(ii)), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of (A) $500,000 and not less than $500,000 or (B) if less, the amount of Loans outstanding under the applicable Facility. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto of any prepayment hereunder not later than 12:00 noon, New York time, one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment (or such later times to which the Administrative Agent may agree). Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of the foregoing, and any such notice may be contingent upon the consummation of a refinancing or other event and such notice may otherwise be extended or revoked. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest and fees to the extent required by Section 2.10 or 2.11(d).

(ii) Application of Voluntary Prepayments. Prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall be applied to installments of principal as directed by the Borrower (however, in the absence of such direction, such prepayments shall be applied in direct order of maturity); provided that, for any specific Facility or Facilities (or tranche within such Facility), such prepayments shall be applied ratably among the Lenders to that specific Facility or Facilities (or tranche within such Facility). For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the payment of interest on any Loans shall be made ratably among the parties owed such obligations in proportion to the respective amounts owed each and (y) the prepayment of outstanding principal amount of any Loans which are then due and payable shall be made ratably among the parties owed such obligations in proportion to the respective amounts owed each.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) Dispositions of Uncontracted GPU Servers. Promptly upon receipt by the Borrower (but in any event within one (1) Business Day of such receipt), the Borrower shall apply 100% of the Net Proceeds of any Disposition of Uncontracted GPU Servers pursuant to Section 6.05(d) to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.09(b)(vi).

(ii) Non-Permitted Indebtedness. Promptly upon receipt by the Borrower (but in any event within one (1) Business Day of such receipt), the Borrower shall apply 100% of the Net Proceeds of any incurrence of Indebtedness that is not permitted pursuant to Section 6.01 to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.09(b)(vi).

(iii) Reserved.

(iv) Other Proceeds. Promptly upon receipt by the Borrower (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of such receipt), the Borrower shall apply (x) any proceeds of a Disposition (other than any Disposition of Uncontracted GPU Servers pursuant to Section 6.05(d), Dispositions of which are covered by clause (i) above) and (y) the Other Proceeds (excluding any Other Proceeds subject to prepayment under clauses (x) of this Section 2.09(b)(iv) and excluding (A) in the case of any Casualty Event, any Net Proceeds thereof less than $2,500,000 from any single event or $5,000,000 in the aggregate from all such events during any fiscal year and (B) in the case of any Disposition by the Borrower permitted pursuant to Section 6.05 (other than Section 6.05(d)), any Net Proceeds thereof less than $2,500,000 from any single event or $5,000,000 in the aggregate from all such events during any fiscal year) received by the Borrower, to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.09(b)(vi).

(v) Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Borrower shall prepay all outstanding principal amounts of the Loans.

(vi) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(b) shall be prepaid together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any breakage costs pursuant to Section 2.14 and shall be applied to installments of principal (with respect to which such prepayments shall be applied in the inverse order of maturity). For the avoidance of doubt, (A) the payment of interest on any Loans shall be made ratably among the parties owed such obligations in proportion to the respective amounts owed each and (B) the prepayment of outstanding principal amount of any Loans which are then due and payable shall be made ratably among the parties owed such obligations in proportion to the respective amounts owed each.

(vii) To the extent permitted by the foregoing clauses, amounts prepaid shall be applied first to any Base Rate Loans then outstanding and then to outstanding Term SOFR Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining; provided that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such prepayment, the Borrower may elect that, for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days, the remainder of such prepayments not applied to prepay Base Rate Loans be deposited in an interest bearing collateral account pledged to, and under the exclusive control of, the Administrative Agent to secure the Obligations and applied thereafter to prepay the Term SOFR Loans on the last day of the next expiring Interest Period of such Term SOFR Loans so prepaid (provided that (A) interest shall continue to accrue on such Term SOFR Loans in respect of which such deposit was made at the rate otherwise applicable under this Agreement to such Term SOFR Loans until such deposit is applied to prepay such Term SOFR Loans, and (B) immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such amounts may, without further action or notice of any kind, be removed from such account by Administrative Agent and immediately used by Administrative Agent to prepay the Term SOFR Loans in accordance with the relevant terms of this Agreement).

(i) If, prior to the fourth (4th) year anniversary of the Commitment Termination Date, (A) the Borrower makes a voluntary prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or a mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(i), Section 2.09(b)(ii), Section

2.09(b)(iv) (other than in connection with Casualty Events), Section 2.09(b)(v) or Section 6.05(d), or (B) the Loans are accelerated or (C) the Loans are subject to a mandatory assignment by a Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with Section 2.17(c), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, the Applicable Premium (with respect to the Delayed Draw Term Loans).

(ii) The Applicable Premium shall become immediately due and payable, and Borrower will pay such premium, as compensation to the Lenders for the loss of their investment opportunity and not as a penalty, whether or not a Bankruptcy Event has commenced, and (if a Bankruptcy Event has commenced) without regard to whether such Bankruptcy Event is voluntary or involuntary, or whether payment occurs pursuant to a motion, plan of reorganization, or otherwise, and without regard to whether the Loans are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether or not by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. Without limiting the foregoing, any redemption, prepayment, repayment, or payment of the Loans in or in connection with a Bankruptcy Event shall constitute an optional prepayment thereof under the terms of Section 2.09(a) and require the immediate payment of the Applicable Premium. Any Applicable Premium payable pursuant to this Section 2.09(c)(i) shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the redemption and/or acceleration of its Loans and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any Applicable Premium shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all principal payments and other amount due pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.10. Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent, the administrative fees to which the Borrower and Administrative Agent agree in writing (including, but not limited to, the administrative fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter pursuant to the terms thereof and all Attorney Costs) and (ii) to the Collateral Agent, for the account of the Collateral Agent, the agency fees to which the Borrower and Collateral Agent agree in writing (including, but not limited to, the agency fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter pursuant to the terms thereof and all Attorney Costs).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (or cause to be paid) to the Lenders, each for their own accounts, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”), determined by the Borrower in consultation with the Lender Representative, in an amount (measured as of the Commitment Termination Date) equal to 1.00% of (i) the Maximum GPU Amount less (ii) the actual aggregate principal amount of Loans which have borrowed on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date which shall be divided among such Lenders based on their Pro Rata Share. The Commitment Fee (if greater than zero) shall be earned on the Commitment Termination Date and due and payable within five (5) Business Days of the Commitment Termination Date.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay (or cause to be paid) to the Lenders, each for their own accounts, an upfront fee (the “Delayed Draw Upfront Fee”) in an amount equal to 1.75% of the aggregate Delayed Draw Loans actually funded to the Borrower on a Delayed Draw Funding Date, which shall be divided among such Lenders based on their pro rata share of such Delayed Draw Loans. Each Delayed Draw Upfront Fee will be earned and due and payable on the Delayed Draw Funding Date with respect to such Delayed Draw Upfront Fee.

Section 2.11. Interest.

(a) The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made to the Borrower at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to any Term SOFR Loan, Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin applicable thereto and (ii) with respect to any Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin applicable thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans and any interest payments or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, at a rate per annum equal to 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.11 (the “Default Rate”); provided that in no event shall the Default Rate apply following the date any Default or Event of Default is waived by the Required Lenders or cured by the Borrower.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Term Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be payable promptly on demand and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan or any conversion thereof, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid, prepaid or converted shall be payable on the date of such repayment, prepayment or conversion.

(d) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error. All computations of fees and interest (other than interest accruing on Base Rate Loans) payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. All computations of interest accruing on Base Rate Loans payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 365-day year (366 days in the case of a leap year) and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to (but excluding) the last day thereof.

Section 2.12. Illegality of Term SOFR. If after the date hereof any Lender shall determine that the introduction of any Change in Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to make Term SOFR Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the obligation of that Lender to make Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exists.

(a) Subject to clause (c) below, if any Lender shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any Term SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall prepay in full all Term SOFR Loans of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans, together with any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 2.14.

(b) If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans has been terminated, the Borrower may elect, by giving notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent that all Loans which would otherwise be made by any such Lender as Term SOFR Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans.

(c) Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.12, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its Term SOFR Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.

Section 2.13. Increased Costs

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;

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

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender (other than Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) to the Borrower or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered in connection therewith (but only to the extent the applicable Lender is imposing such charges or additional amounts on other similarly situated borrowers under credit facilities comparable to the Facilities).

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or any of the Loans made by such Lender or as a consequence of the Commitments to make any of the foregoing, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered in connection therewith (but only to the extent the applicable Lender is imposing such charges or additional amounts on other similarly situated borrowers under credit facilities comparable to the Facilities).

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in Sections 2.13(a) or 2.13(b) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Promptly after any Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13, such Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.14. Funding Losses. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any actual out-of-pocket loss (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any lost profits or similar loss) or reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

(a) the failure of the Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Borrowing Request or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation;

(b) the failure of the Borrower to make any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with this Agreement;

(c) the prepayment of a Term SOFR Loan on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; or

(d) the conversion pursuant to Section 2.05 of any Term SOFR Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its Term SOFR Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 2.14, each Term SOFR Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at Term SOFR used in determining the interest rate for such Term SOFR Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Term SOFR Loan is in fact so funded.

Section 2.15. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes except as required by applicable Law; provided that if the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Person acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent in regards to any such payments shall be required by law to deduct Taxes from such payments, then (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings for Indemnified Taxes been made, (ii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Person acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Person acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Without duplication, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes payable on account of any obligation of the Borrower and upon the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, the Loan Documents, to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Without duplication of any amounts paid under Section 2.15(a) or (b), the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within twenty (20) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or

attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that a certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation for such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c)(i) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (c).

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

(e)

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.15(e)(ii)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

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

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

(2) copies of duly executed and completed IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8EXP (or any successor form);

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the Borrower or its sole owner within the meaning of Sections 871(h)(3)(B) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower or its sole owner described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) copies of duly executed and completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form); or

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

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

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

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

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

(f) If a party determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable and documented 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); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the indemnified party, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the indemnified party in the event the indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15(f) the payment of which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such 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 the indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(g) On or before the date that the Administrative Agent or any successor or replacement Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder or any such form expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, and at such other times upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, it shall deliver to the Borrower two copies of duly executed either (1) IRS Form W-9, or (2) (a) IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to amounts it receives on its own account and (b) IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form) with respect to all other payments, in each case as will establish that it is exempt from

U.S. withholding Taxes, including Taxes imposed by FATCA. The Administrative Agent agrees that if it becomes aware any form or certification it previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction, or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

Section 2.16. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.09(c), Section 2.13 or 2.15, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan shall in each case be made in the currency in which such Loan was made. All payments of other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b) Subject to Section 2.20, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of outstanding fees and expenses of the Agents, (ii) second, towards payment of interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (iii) third, towards payment of principal then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim, through the application of any proceeds of Collateral or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the

purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.16(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to this Section 2.16 then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.17. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.15, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13 or 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.17, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13, Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.17 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

(c) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) (x) has failed to consent to a proposed waiver, amendment, other modification, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of Lenders in addition to the Required Lenders or (y) has failed to confirm the satisfaction of the conditions precedent pursuant to Article IV and, in each case, with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then, provided that no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees in accordance with Section 9.04 and deliver any outstanding notes to the Borrower; provided that (i) all Obligations of the Borrower then owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment and (ii) the Non-Consenting Lender shall receive a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided, further that, in the event a Non-Consenting Lender has not consented to the waiver of any condition precedent to the initial funding of the Delayed Draw Term Loans pursuant to Section 4.02, and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, the Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender in such circumstance may also, at the Borrower’s option, be re-allocated to other Lenders willing to increase its Commitments hereunder. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender, and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04. Each Lender agrees that, if the Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Non-Consenting Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 9.04. In the event that a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one (1) Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered, and in addition hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 9.04 on behalf of a Non-Consenting Lender and any such documentation shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 9.04. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Lender shall be deemed a Non-Consenting Lender and is required to assign all or any portion of its Loans or its Loans are prepaid by the Borrower, then the Borrower shall pay the Applicable Premium that would otherwise be payable by the Borrower in connection with the voluntary prepayment thereof.

Section 2.18. Inability to Determine Rates.

Subject to Section 2.21, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Term SOFR Loan:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines or the Required Lenders determine (which determination in each case shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

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

the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make Term SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or

affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.14. Subject to Section 2.21, if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination..

Section 2.19. Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver, or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.08.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Agents hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing to the extent no Default or Event of Default is a condition to funding the subsequent mentioned Loan), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 (with respect to any funding of initial Delayed Draw Term Loans) were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that, in its sole discretion, a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.20. Cash Waterfall.

(a) Deposits into Accounts.

(i) Available Cash Account. The Borrower shall deposit, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause third parties that would otherwise make payments directly to the Borrower to deposit, in the Available Cash Account (without duplication): (i) the proceeds of all Available Cash; (ii) any Other Proceeds transferred from the Other Proceeds Account pursuant to Section 2.20(c); and (iii) any amounts transferred from the Distribution Reserve Account pursuant to Section 2.20(d)(ii).

(i) first, on each date as needed, to pay (A) the indemnities, administrative fees and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) which are then due and payable under the Loan Documents and (B) all indemnities, administrative fees and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) which are then due and payable to the Depositary Bank, ratably among the parties owed such obligations in proportion to the respective amounts owed to each;

(ii) second, on each Quarterly Payment Date, to pay scheduled interest payments and expenses which are then due and payable with respect to the Facilities;

(iii) third, on each Quarterly Payment Date, to make the repayments of principal with respect to the Facilities as required pursuant to Section 2.08;

(iv) fourth, on each date as needed, Operating Expenses solely with respect to any contractual obligations assigned or otherwise transferred to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and

(ii) If the funds on deposit in the Available Cash Account are insufficient to make all payments in respect of the Obligations then due and payable, a Responsible Officer of the Borrower shall deliver an Account Withdrawal Certificate countersigned by the Calculation Agent to the Depositary Bank and the Collateral Agent (and acknowledged by the Calculation Agent) setting forth the amount of such insufficiency and directing the Depositary Bank to transfer from the Distribution Reserve Account the amount of such insufficiency to the Available Cash Account for application in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.20(b); provided that any such transfer shall be only of amounts on deposit in the Distribution Reserve Account.

Section 2.21. Benchmark Replacement.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may abstain from executing such amendment until so directed by the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.04(b) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that any such Conforming Changes shall, unless otherwise determined by the Borrower in consultation with the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, be made in a manner that is intended to comply with the terms of United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-6 so as not to be treated as a “modification” (and therefor an exchange) of any Loans for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.04(e).

Section 8.01. Appointment and Authority.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Agents to execute any and all documents (including releases and subordinations, at the direction of the Required Lenders) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents and acknowledge and agree that any such action by the Agents shall bind the Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Agents have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or Participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agents, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. No Agent shall be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association to act as the Collateral Agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Borrower to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(c) Except as provided in Sections 8.06, 8.10 and 8.16, the provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Agents shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, any Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Agents shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice, direction or concurrence of the Required Lenders or the Lender Representative, as applicable (or Administrative Agent in the case of the Collateral Agent) as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Administrative Agent at the written instruction of the Required Lenders (in the case of the Collateral Agent) or the Required Lenders or the Lender Representative, as applicable (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. Upon the request by the Administrative Agent at any time the Lenders will promptly confirm in writing any action taken or to be taken by the Administrative Agent. Upon the request by the Collateral Agent at any time the Administrative Agent will promptly confirm in writing any action taken

or to be taken by the Collateral Agent (at the written instruction of the Required Lenders).

Any Agent may resign at any time upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders, the Borrower and each other Agent and if such Agent is a Defaulting Lender or during an Agent Default Period, the Borrower may remove such Defaulting Lender from such role upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each other Agent. If an Agent resigns or is removed by the Borrower, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of a Payment or Bankruptcy Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that in no event shall any such successor Agent be a Defaulting Lender. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation or removal of the Agent, such Agent, in the case of a resignation, and the Borrower, in the case of a removal may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower (in the case of a resignation), a successor agent.

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10, 8.12, and 9.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 8.10. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to release guarantees, Liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.18 and take any other actions contemplated by Section 9.18. Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority provided for in the previous sentence. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof and as otherwise specifically set forth herein, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty as to any of the Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Agents shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral.

Section 8.12. Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all liabilities, Taxes, 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 it in its capacity as an Agent-Related Person or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities primarily resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken or not taken in accordance with the directions of the Lender Representative or the Required Lenders, as applicable (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 8.12. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 8.12 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agents upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document,

or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting their obligation to do so. The undertaking in this Section 8.12 shall survive termination of the aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation or removal of the Agents.

Section 8.13. Appointment of Supplemental Agents.

(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case an Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Agents are hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by such Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Agents”).

(b) In the event that the Collateral Agent appoints a Supplemental Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and (ii) the provisions of this Article VIII and of Section 9.05 that refer to the Agents shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Agent and all references therein to the Agents shall be deemed to be references to the Agents and/or such Supplemental Agent, as the context may require.

(c) Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower be required by any Supplemental Agent so appointed by an Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by such Agent. In case any Supplemental Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the applicable Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Agent.

Section 8.14. Withholding. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority, or the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason (including, such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c)(i) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses

(including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender hereunder or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.14. The agreements in this Section 8.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. For purposes of this Section 8.14, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

Section 8.15. Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 7.01 and the Security Documents for the benefit of all the Lenders or Secured Parties, as applicable; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.06 (subject to the terms of Section 2.16(c)), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Borrower under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, pursuant to Section 7.01 and the Security Documents, as applicable and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.16(c), any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

Section 8.16. Collateral Agent. Each of the Persons party hereto hereby instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.

Section 8.17. Bookrunners and other Agents, Arrangers, Lead Lenders and Managers. The Borrower hereby appoints Blackstone Tactical Opportunities Advisors L.L.C. and Imperial Capital LLC as lead arrangers, Imperial Capital LLC as bookrunner and Blackstone Tactical Opportunities Advisors L.L.C. and Magnetar Financial LLC, as lead lenders in connection with the Loans. It is further agreed that Blackstone Tactical Opportunities Advisors L.L.C. shall have “left” placement in any documentation used in connection with the Facilities. The Arrangers and the Lead Lenders shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility, or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, the Arrangers and the Lead Lenders so identified shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

Section 8.18. Depositary Bank.

The Borrowers hereby appoint U.S. Bank National Association and U.S. Bank National Association hereby agrees, to act as “securities intermediary” (within the meaning of Section 8 102(a)(14) of the UCC) with respect to the Available Cash Account and as a “bank” (within the meaning of 9-102(a) of the UCC) with respect to the Available Cash Account. The Depositary Bank is the agent and bailee of the Collateral Agent (such bailments being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) for the purpose of receiving payments contemplated hereunder. This Agreement constitutes a “security agreement” as defined in Article 9 of the UCC.

(b) The Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Depositary Bank agree that, for purposes of the UCC, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other agreement relating to the establishment and operation of the Available Cash Account, the jurisdiction of the Depositary Bank (in its capacity as the securities intermediary and bank) is the State of New York and the laws of the State of New York govern the establishment and operation of the Available Cash Account.

(c) The Depositary Bank shall have no obligations other than to administer the Available Cash Account in accordance with the terms hereof. The Depositary Bank shall not, by reason of this Agreement, be a trustee for or owe a fiduciary duty to any Secured Party (and no implied duties, covenants, functions or responsibilities shall be read into this Depositary Agreement or otherwise claimed to exist by any Person against the Depositary Bank). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositary Bank shall take all actions as the Borrower, the Calculation Agent or the Collateral Agent shall direct it to perform in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement, and the Depositary Bank shall have no liability for any failure or delay in taking any action hereunder attributable to a failure or delay of the Calculation Agent, Collateral Agent or the Borrower, as applicable, in providing any such direction. The Depositary Bank shall exercise the same degree of care in administering the funds held in the Available Cash Account and the investments purchased with such funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as the Depositary Bank exercises in the ordinary course of its day-to-day business in administering other funds and investments for its own account and as required by applicable Law. The Depositary Bank shall not be required to invest any funds held hereunder except as directed in this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing between the Borrower and the Depositary Bank (which shall not require the consent of any Lender).

The Depositary Bank shall have no obligation to monitor compliance by the Borrower with any requirements of, or obligations under, any Loan Document. The Depositary Bank shall have no duty to calculate any amounts to be distributed under the terms of this Agreement and shall have no liability for the accuracy, or compliance with the terms of any Loan Document, of any such calculations provided to it.

it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent Party or Agent-Related Person, any lead lender, any Bookrunner or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such 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 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.

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreements contained herein, indemnification and reimbursement obligations contained herein (including pursuant to Section 9.05) shall survive Payment in Full.

Section 9.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Agents and when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Agents and each Lender and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

Section 9.04. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04 (including, in the case of an assignment to an Affiliated Lender, Section 9.04(f)) (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Lender not in accordance with this Section 9.04 shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in Section 9.04(c)), the Lenders, the Agents and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders, and the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) After the Closing Date (other than with respect to assignments that would otherwise not require the consent of the Borrower made pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(i)(A)(x), which assignments may be made after the date hereof), subject to the conditions set forth in Section 9.04(b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the applicable Facilities (including its Loans and Commitments thereunder) with the prior written consent of:

(A) the Borrower; provided, that in the case of an assignment to an Eligible Assignee, (1) such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (2) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days of having received notice thereof; provided, further, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required (x) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund

or (y) if a Payment or Bankruptcy Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The liability of the Borrower to an assignee that is an Approved Fund or Affiliate of the assigning Lender, as applicable, under Section 2.13 shall be limited to the amount, if any, that would have been payable hereunder by the Borrower in the absence of such assignment and the Borrower may withhold its consent if the costs or the taxes payable by the Borrower to the assignee under Sections 2.13 shall be greater than they would have been for the assignor except to the extent such greater amounts results from a Change in Law that occurs after the assignment was made; and

(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of a Loan or a Commitment to a Person that is Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment and/or Loans, as applicable, of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment shall not be less than $1,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Payment or Bankruptcy Event of Default (with respect to the Borrower) has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of a Facility under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance (which such Assignment and Acceptance shall include a representation by the assignee that it is not a Disqualified Lender or an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender);

(D) the assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any other administrative information (including tax forms) that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request;

(E) no such assignment shall be made to (1) a Defaulting Lender, (2) a Disqualified Lender or (3) the Parent or the Borrower; and

(F) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such assignment shall be made to a natural person or any holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(iv) (and, in the case of an Affiliated Lender or a Person that, after giving effect to such assignment, would become an Affiliated Lender, to the requirements of clause (f) of this Section 9.04), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance (and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance (and each Affiliated Lender Assignment

and Acceptance), have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender hereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance (and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance), be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance or an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits, and subject to the requirements and limitations, of Sections 2.13, 2.15 and 9.05). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall not be effective as an assignment hereunder.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance (and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance) delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, with respect to its own interest only, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) The parties to each assignment shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that (i) such processing and recordation fee shall not be payable for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and (ii) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. Upon its receipt (or waiver) of the processing and recording fee described in the preceding sentence, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance (or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance) executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, any administrative information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 9.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance (or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance) and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vi) (A) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more financial institutions (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that the Borrower shall have consented to such participation in writing (such consent not to be, subject to the following clause (B), unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed); provided, further, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required (1) for a participation to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (2) if a Payment or Bankruptcy Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that (w) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (y) the Borrower, the Agents 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 (z) such Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Loans (or other rights or obligations) held by it (the “Participant Register”), which entries shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any

100

portion of such register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Proposed Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor sections). Each Lender that sells such a participation shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Any agreement or instrument (oral or written) pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to exercise rights under and to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (x) such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 9.08(b)(i), Section 9.08(b)(ii), Section 9.08(b)(iii) or Section 9.08(b)(iv) that affects such Participant and (y) no other agreement (oral or written) in respect of the foregoing with respect to such Participant may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to Section 9.04(c)(ii), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits (and subject to the requirements and limitations) of Sections 2.13 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were the Lender from whom it obtained its participation and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(c) as though it were a Lender.

(B) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless (x) the Borrower is informed of such greater payment, and the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent following the receipt by the Borrower of any information reasonably requested by the Borrower to evidence such greater payment, and the Borrower may withhold its consent to such participation (in its sole discretion) if a Participant would be entitled to require greater payment than the applicable Lender under such Sections or (y) such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with Section 2.15(e) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(e) shall be delivered to the applicable Lender).

(c) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its promissory note, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; 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, and any such pledgee (other than a pledgee that is the Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank) shall acknowledge in writing that its rights under such pledge are in all respects subject to the limitations applicable to the pledging Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

101

(d) (i) In the event of any assignment or participation by a Lender without the Borrower’s consent or deemed consent (if applicable) (A) to any Disqualified Lender or (B) to the extent the Borrower’s consent is required under this Section 9.04, to any other Person, the Borrower shall be entitled at their sole expense and effort to seek specific performance to unwind any such assignment or participation in addition to injunctive relief (without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm) or any other remedies available to the Borrower at law or in equity in respect of such assignor or assignee; it being understood and agreed that the Borrower will suffer irreparable harm if any Lender breaches any obligation under this Section 9.04 as it relates to any assignment, participation or pledge of any Loan or Commitment to any Disqualified Lender or any other Person to whom the Borrower’s consent is required but not obtained (or has not been deemed consented to). Upon the request of any Lender or as otherwise required herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to such Lender the list of Disqualified Lenders at the relevant time and such Lender may provide the list to any potential assignee or participant on a confidential basis in accordance with Section 9.16 for the purpose of verifying whether such Person is a Disqualified Lender.

(ii) If any assignment or participation under this Section 9.04 is made to any Affiliate of any Disqualified Lender without the Borrower’s prior written consent or deemed consent (any such person, a “Disqualified Person”), then, such assignment shall not be null and void, but the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Person and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Person, (B) in the case of any outstanding Loans, held by such Disqualified Person, purchase such Loans by paying the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such Loans, plus accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require that such Disqualified Person assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that (I) in the case of clause (B), the applicable Disqualified Person has received payment of an amount equal to the lesser of (1) par and (2) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid for the applicable Loans, plus accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the Borrower and (II) in the case of clause (C), the relevant assignment shall otherwise comply with this Section 9.04 (except that no registration and processing fee required under this Section 9.04 shall be required with any assignment pursuant to this paragraph). Nothing in this Section 9.04(e) shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity.

(e) Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Commitments under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase or take by assignment open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures of the type described in Schedule 9.04(f) or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations:

(i) Affiliated Lenders will not (A) receive information or material provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls, discussions or meetings (or portions thereof) attended by any Lenders and/or the Administrative Agent in which representatives of the Borrower are not then present, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II or (B) receive any advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent or make any challenge to the Administrative Agent’s or any other Lender’s attorney-client privilege on the basis of its status as a Lender;

102

(ii) each Affiliated Lender that purchases any Loans or Commitments pursuant to clause (x) above shall represent and warrant to the selling Lender (other than any other Affiliated Lender) that it does not possess material non-public information (or material information of the type that would not be public if the Parent or the Borrower were a publicly-reporting company) with respect to the Parent or the Borrower that either (1) has not been disclosed to the Lenders generally (other than Lenders that have elected not to receive such information) or (2) if not disclosed to the Lenders, would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on, or otherwise be material to (A) a Lender’s decision to participate in any such assignment or (B) the market price of such Loans or Commitments, or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made;

(iii) the aggregate principal amount of Loans and Commitments under this Agreement held by Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 30.0% of the aggregate principal amount of Loans and Commitments outstanding at such time under this Agreement (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that to the extent any purchase or assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Loans and Commitments held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the purchase or assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio;

(iv) as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this clause (f), the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have been provided a notice in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that, upon effectiveness of such assignment, would constitute an Affiliated Lender pursuant to which such Affiliated Lender shall waive any right to bring any action in connection with such Loans and Commitments against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such;

(v) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Loans or Commitments shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance”); and

(vi) if a Bankruptcy Event of Default occurs and is continuing, notwithstanding whether any Affiliated Lender may be construed to not be an “insider” under Section 101(31) of the Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law, each Affiliated Lender shall acknowledge that it is an “insider” under Section 101(31) of the Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law and, as such, the claims associated with the Loans and Commitments owned by it shall not be included in determining whether the applicable class of creditors holding such claims has voted to accept a proposed plan for purposes of Section 1129(a)(10) of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision under any other Debtor Relief Law, and their voting rights shall be subject to Sections 9.04(g) and (h) below.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Affiliated Lender that has purchased Loans or Commitments pursuant to this clause (f) may, in its sole discretion, contribute, directly or indirectly, the principal amount of such Loans or Commitments or any portion thereof, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower for the purpose of cancelling and extinguishing such Loans or Commitments. Upon the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans or Commitments shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Loans or Commitments then held by the Borrowers and (y) the Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution of such Loans or Commitments, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Loans or Commitments in the Register.

103

(f) Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.08 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by the Parent or the Borrower therefrom, or subject to Section 9.04(h), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent under any other Debtor Relief Law (it being understood and agreed that any such vote shall be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law), (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, no Affiliated Lender shall have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action and:

(i) all Loans and Commitments held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders have taken any actions; and

(ii) all Loans and Commitments held by Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether all Lenders have taken any action unless the action in question affects such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner than its effect on other Lenders.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that, and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance shall provide a confirmation that, if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against the Parent or the Borrower at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Loans and Commitments held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner at the Required Lenders’ discretion, unless the Administrative Agent (acting on the written direction of the Required Lenders) instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans and Commitments held by it as the Administrative Agent (acting on the written direction of the Required Lenders) directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders.

(h) Although Debt Fund Affiliates shall be Eligible Assignees and shall not be subject to the provisions of Sections 9.04(f), (g) or (h), any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Commitments under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, a Debt Fund Affiliate only through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase or take by assignment open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures of the type described in Schedule 9.04(f) (for the avoidance of doubt, without requiring any representation as to the possession of material non-public information by such Affiliate) or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.08 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by the Borrower or the Parent therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, all Loans held by Debt Fund Affiliates, in the aggregate, may not account for more than 49.9% of the Loans of consenting Lenders included in determining whether the Required Lenders have consented to any action pursuant to Section 9.08.

104

Section 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower agrees (i) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers and the Lead Lenders for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (but limited in the case of Attorney Costs to one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (which shall initially be Shipman & Goodwin LLP), two primary counsels for the Arrangers and the Lead Lenders (which shall be Milbank LLP and Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP) in connection with the Transactions and other matters, including primary syndication, to occur on or prior to or otherwise in connection with the Closing Date and one local counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers and the Lead Lenders as reasonably necessary in each relevant jurisdiction material to the interests of the Lenders taken as a whole (and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction that is material to each group of similarly situated affected Lenders)) and (ii) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, Arrangers, the Lead Lenders and each Lender for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws), but limited with respect to Attorney Costs which shall be limited to Attorney Costs of one counsel to the Agents and a separate counsel to the Arrangers and the Lead Lenders (and one local counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers and the Lead Lenders as reasonably necessary in each relevant jurisdiction material to the interests of the Lenders taken as a whole (and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction that is material to each group of similarly situated affected Lender)). The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable search, filing, recording and title insurance charges and fees related thereto, and other related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by any Agent. The agreements in this Section 9.05(a) shall survive Payment in Full and the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. All amounts due under this Section 9.05(a) shall be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail including, if requested by the Borrower and to the extent reasonably available, backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request; provided that, with respect to all amounts that would otherwise be due under this Section 9.05(a) prior to the date hereof, such amounts shall be paid on the Closing Date solely to the extent invoiced to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (or such shorter time as the Borrower may agree) and that the Borrower shall not be invoiced for any amounts prior to the invoice for payment of amounts on the Closing Date or on such date reasonably agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent if the Closing Date does not occur due to the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agents, the Arrangers, the Lead Lenders and each Lender and each Agent-Related Person of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person, without duplication, being called an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all liabilities (including Environmental Claims or any actual or alleged presence, Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on, or from any property currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Borrower, or any property to which the Borrower has transported or arranged for the transport of Hazardous Materials for treatment, storage or disposal), obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions,

judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs but limited in the case of legal fees and expenses to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all the Agents’ Indemnitees and a separate counsel to the Lenders’ Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant jurisdiction that is material to the interests of the Lenders, and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction that is material to each group of similarly situated affected Indemnitees) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, syndication or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Commitment or Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding), whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any of its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, agents, advisors or other representatives, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) a material breach of any obligations under any Loan Document by such Indemnitee (other than the Agents) or of any of its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, agents, advisors or other representatives, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) any dispute solely among Indemnitees (other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an agent or arranger or any similar role under any Facility and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or its Affiliates). Neither any Indemnitee nor the Borrower and its Affiliates shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, shall any Indemnitee, Borrowers or its Affiliates have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the date hereof) (other than, in the case of the Borrower, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party and for any out-of-pocket expenses in each case subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.05(b)). In the case of action, suit, litigation, investigation, or proceeding to which the indemnity in this action, suit, litigation, investigation, proceeding or any governmental or regulatory action Section 9.05(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such action, suit, litigation, investigation, or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents are consummated. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor (together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund the amount of any payment to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 9.05(b). The agreements in this 9.05(b) shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, the replacement of any Lender and Payment in Full. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.05(b) shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, prepayments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements arising from any non-Tax claims.

106

Section 9.06. Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, 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) 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 against any and all obligations of the Borrower, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

Section 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 9.08. Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay of the Agents or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.08(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the case of the Agent Fee Letter, by the Persons party thereto in accordance with the terms thereof, (y) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and (z) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and the Collateral Agent and consented to by the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall:

(i) increase the amount of, or extend, the Commitments of a Lender, or reinstate the Commitments of a Lender after the termination thereof, in each case, without the prior written consent of each such Lender holding such Commitments (it being understood that a waiver, amendment or modification of any condition precedent or of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reductions of the Commitments shall not constitute an increase or extension of any Commitment of any Lender);

(ii) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan, delay the date of any payment, modify the interest provisions hereunder from cash pay to paid in kind or decrease fees or other amounts payable to any Lender, in each case, without the prior written consent of each such Lender;

(iii) extend the final maturity date of any Facility or extend or waive any fixed payment date for principal, interest and upfront fees under Section 2.10 or Section 2.11 (subject to the proviso of Section 9.08(b)(ii)), or amend any definition (including any definition incorporated by reference) in any such provision, in each case, without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that any waiver, amendment or modification of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute an extension or waiver of any such fixed payment date);

107

(iv) except as permitted hereunder, (A) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or (B) amend the aggregate value of the guarantee provided by the Parent under the Parent Guarantee and Pledge Agreement, in each case, without the prior written consent of each Lender;

(v) waive, amend or modify the provisions of this Section 9.08 or the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder or thereunder, in each case, without the prior written consent of each Lender;

(vi) amend (A) any section of the Loan Documents in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments and/or application of distributions required thereby, including by modifying the definition of “Pro Rata Share”, (B) Section 2.08(a) or Section 6.12 or the definitions of “Fixed Amortization Amount”, “Funding Date GPU Amount”, “Projected Contracted Cash Flows”, “Liquidity Requirement” or “Maximum GPU Amount”, (C) Section 2.20, including the priority of payments set out in Section 2.20(b), (D) the definition of “Change in Control” or the terms of the mandatory prepayment in Section 2.09(b)(v) (but not any waiver of the occurrence, or potential occurrence, of a Change in Control or the mandatory prepayment in Section 2.09(b)(v)), (E) the definition of “Affiliated Lender”, (F) Section 9.04 and (G) clause (x) of the introductory paragraph to Section 4.02 in any manner such that, after giving effect to such amendment, clause (x) of the introductory paragraph to Section 4.02 shall no longer require the direction of each Lender with respect to any satisfaction or waiver therein, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender; or

(vii) subordinate, by payment, Lien subordination or otherwise, the Obligations or the Liens on the Collateral created by any Security Document to any other Indebtedness or Lien, as the case may be, without the written consent of each Lender;

provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights (including the payment of fees and expenses, including, but not limited to Attorney Costs, to) or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any assignee of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, (x) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any waiver, amendment or modification hereunder (and any waiver, amendment or modification which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders, each affected Lender or each directly and adversely affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (1) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended, the maturity of the Loans of any Defaulting Lender may not be extended, the rate of interest on any of such Loans may not be reduced, the fees or premium of or due in respect of any such Loans may not be reduced, the principal amount of any of such Loans may not be forgiven, the pro rata status of such Loans may not be forgiven, in each case without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (2) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders, each affected Lender or each directly and adversely affected Lender that by its terms materially and adversely affects any Defaulting Lender (if such Lender were not a Defaulting Lender) to a greater extent than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any waiver, amendment or modification hereunder and instead shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender as provided in this Section 9.08(b).

108

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, without the consent of any other Person, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties (it being understood that entry into any such new agreement or instrument may be in any form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable). Prior to entering into such amendment or modification, the Agents shall be entitled to a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that such amendment, modification or waiver is permitted by the Loan Documents, upon which the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, without the consent of any other Person, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in their respective sole discretion), waive, amend or otherwise modify any Loan Document with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent and the Borrower to (i) correct, amend, cure or resolve any ambiguity, omission, defect, typographical error, inconsistency or manifest error therein mistake or defect in such Loan Document, (ii) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents or any release of any Collateral that is otherwise permitted under the terms of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, (iii) make administrative and operational changes not adverse to any Lender, (iv) to otherwise enhance the rights and benefits of Lenders or (v) to adhere to local law or the reasonable advice of local counsel; provided that, in the case of this Section 9.08(e), in all events any such waiver, amendment or modification shall become effective without any further action or the consent of any other Person if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof. Prior to entering into such amendment or modification, the Agents shall be entitled to a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that such amendment, modification or waiver is permitted by the Loan Documents, upon which the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely.

(f) [Reserved]

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, without the consent of any other Person, the Borrower and Administrative Agent (acting at the written direction of the Lead Arrangers) shall amend or otherwise modify the Loan Documents with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to appoint additional Arrangers and make any other ancillary changes, in each case to reflect the Commitments of such Arrangers and their Affiliates.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any determination as to whether the requisite Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any departure by the Borrower therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (C) directed or required the Agents or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, any such Lender (other than any Lender that is Regulated Bank) that, as a result of its interest in any total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract (other than any such total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract entered into pursuant to bona fide market making activities), has a net short position with respect to the

109

Loans and/or Commitments (each, a “Net Short Lender”), without the consent of the Borrower, shall have no right to vote any of its Loans and Commitments and shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Net Short Lenders. For purposes of determining whether any such Lender has a “net short position” on any date of determination: (i) derivative contracts with respect to the Loans and Commitments and such contracts that are the functional equivalent thereof shall be counted at the notional amount thereof in U.S. Dollars, (ii) notional amounts in other currencies shall be converted to the U.S. Dollar equivalent thereof by such Lender in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with generally accepted financial practices and based on the prevailing conversion rate (determined on a mid-market basis) on the date of determination, (iii) derivative contracts in respect of an index that includes any of the Borrower or any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of the Borrower shall not be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments, so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender or its Affiliates and (y) the Borrower and any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of the Borrower shall represent less than 5% of the components of such index, (iv) derivative transactions that are documented using either the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions or the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (collectively, the “ISDA CDS Definitions”) shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments if such Lender is a protection buyer or the equivalent thereof for such derivative transaction and (x) the Loans or the Commitments are a “Reference Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction (whether specified by name in the related documentation, included as a “Standard Reference Obligation” on the most recent list published by Markit, if “Standard Reference Obligation” is specified as applicable in the relevant documentation or in any other manner), (y) the Loans or the Commitments would be an “Obligation” or a “Deliverable Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction or (z) any of the Borrower is designated as a “Reference Entity” under the terms of such derivative transactions, and (v) credit derivative transactions or other derivatives transactions not documented using the ISDA CDS Definitions shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments if such transactions are functionally equivalent to a transaction that offers such Lender or its Affiliates protection in respect of the Loans or the Commitments, or as to the credit quality of any of the Borrower other than, in each case, as part of an index so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender and (y) the Borrower and any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of the Borrower shall represent less than 5% of the components of such index. In connection with any such determination, each such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing that it is a Net Short Lender, or shall otherwise be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Borrower and the Agents that it is not a Net Short Lender (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower and the Agents shall be entitled to rely on each such representation and deemed representation). The Agents shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any direction delivered to it in accordance with this Agreement and shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any representation or deemed representation by any Lender.

Section 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken, or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate, provided that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.

110

Section 9.10. Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

Section 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavour in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03.

Any such delivery shall be followed promptly by delivery of the manually signed original. Any signature to this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf) or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 or the New York Electronic Signature and Records Act or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Any Person that uses electronic signatures and electronic methods to send communications to the Agents assumes all risks arising out of such use, including without limitation the risk of the Agents acting on an unauthorized communication, and the risk of interception or misuse by third parties.

Section 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Each of the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court

111

from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. The Borrower further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties thereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at the address specified for the Borrower in Section 9.01. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement (other than Section 8.09 or Section 8.15) shall affect any right that any Lender or Agent may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the Borrower, the Agents, and the Lenders hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court sitting in New York County. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Section 9.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders and the Agents agrees that it shall maintain in confidence any information relating to the Borrower, its Affiliates and its Affiliates’ directors, managers, officers, trustees, investment advisors or agent, furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or Affiliate (other than information that (a) has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party in breach of this Agreement, (b) has been independently developed by such Lender or such Agent without violating this Section 9.16 or (c) was available to such Lender or such Agent from a third party having, to such Person’s actual knowledge, no obligations of confidentiality to the Borrower or any such Affiliate) and shall not reveal the same other than to its directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents and advisors with a need to know or to any Person that approves or administers the Loans on behalf of such Lender (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), except: (i) to the extent necessary to comply with law or any legal process or the regulatory or supervisory requirements of any Governmental Authority (including bank examiners and including in response to routine regulatory reporting, including any filings, submissions or similar documentation required or customary to comply with SEC or other regulatory agencies’ reporting requirements), the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or of any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded, (ii) as part of reporting or review procedures to Governmental Authorities (including bank examiners) or the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, (iii) to its current and prospective leverage providers and financing sources, current and prospective limited partners, investors, valuation providers, consultants, parent companies, Affiliates or auditors (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16); provided that, with respect to any disclosure pursuant to this clause (iii) (other than with respect to ordinary course disclosures, including disclosures made pursuant to applicable legal or regulatory requirements) to a Person which is not an Affiliate of a Lender or Agent, the applicable Lender or Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of the information that it intends to disclose), (iv) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document or in order to enforce its rights under any Loan Document in a legal proceeding, (v) to any prospective assignee of, or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this Agreement (so long as such Person (1) shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16 or on terms at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 9.16 and (2) is not a Disqualified Lender) in accordance with the standard processes of the Agent or customary market standards for dissemination of such type of information, (vi) [reserved], (vii) on a confidential basis to (x) any rating

112

agency when required by such rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or the Loans (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any information relating to the Borrower received by it) or (y) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Facilities; and (viii) with the prior written consent of the Borrower. In addition, each of the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and publicly available information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Credit Extensions. If a Lender or an Agent is requested or required to disclose any such information (other than to its bank examiners and similar regulators, or to internal or external auditors) pursuant to or as required by law or legal process or subpoena, to the extent reasonably practicable it shall give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower so that the Borrower may seek an appropriate protective order at the Borrower’s sole expense and such Lender or Agent will cooperate with the Borrower (or the applicable Affiliate) in seeking such protective order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Lender that is an investment company subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Investment Company Act of 1940, such Lender may, to the extent required by Laws, identify the Borrower, its industry, the type of loans and commitments held by such Lender, the value (and valuation methodology) of such Lender’s holdings in Borrower, other customary information consistent with such Lender’s customary practice and other required information in accordance with its Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and/or Investment Company Act of 1940 reporting practices, and such Lender shall not be required to notify the Borrower of such disclosures. Without limitation of anything in this Section 9.16, it is agreed and understood that none of the Agents or Lender shall, nor shall they permit any of their Affiliates to, make any press release or similar disclosure concerning this Agreement, the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby without the prior written consent of the Borrower.

Section 9.17. Communications.

(a) Delivery. (i) The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use all reasonable efforts to provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (B) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the scheduled date therefor, (C) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or (D) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications collectively, the “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at the address referenced in Section 9.01(a)(ii). Nothing in this Section 9.17 shall prejudice the right of the Agents, the Arrangers, the Lead Lenders or any Lender or the Borrower to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(i) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform (as defined below) shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (A) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (B) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

113

(b) Posting. The Borrower further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinks, SyndTrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (i) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and/or the Lead Lenders will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on the Platform and (ii) certain of the Lenders may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC”. By marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower authorizes such Borrower Materials to be made available to a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor,” which is intended to contain only information that is publicly available or not material information (though it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws or is of a type that would be publicly available if the Borrower was a public reporting company (in each case, as reasonably determined by the Borrower). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to mark any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC”. Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States federal and state securities laws, to make reference to communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Parent or its Subsidiaries or their securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws.

(c) Platform. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties do not warrant the adequacy of 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 any Agent Party in connection with the Platform. In no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s transmission of communications through the internet.

Section 9.18. Release of Liens and Guarantees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents:

(a) after Payment in Full, the Collateral shall be automatically released from any Liens created by the Loan Documents, and the Loan Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall terminate and the Parent shall be released from the Parent Guarantee and Pledge Agreement, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

(b) the following Collateral shall be automatically released from the Liens created by the Loan Documents without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person:

(i) upon a Disposition of Collateral permitted hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Collateral so Disposed;

114

(ii) upon the approval, authorization, or ratification in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent is required by Section 9.08(b)(iv)) of the release of any Collateral, such Collateral;

(iii) upon a release of any Collateral under the terms of each applicable Security Document or upon such Collateral no longer being required to be perfected under the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, such Collateral; or

(c) the Parent shall be automatically released from the Parent Guarantee and Pledge Agreement without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person upon the approval, authorization or ratification in writing by such percentage of the Lenders whose consent is required by Section 9.08(b)(iv).

(d) In connection with any termination or release of Collateral from the Liens securing the Obligations or a release of the Parent from the Parent Guarantee and Pledge Agreement, the Agents shall at the direction of the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent is required by Section 9.08(b)(iv)):

(i) in the case of termination or release of Collateral from the Liens securing the Obligations, (A) execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense, all documents that the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release (including (1) UCC termination statements or (2) in the case of a Collateral Account, delivery of notices to any depositary bank to terminate any Control Agreement in respect of the applicable account and to permit such applicable account to be closed) and (B) return to the Borrower, the possessory Collateral that is in the possession of the Collateral Agent and is the subject of such release (provided that, upon request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that such transaction has been or was consummated in compliance with the Loan Documents), and

(ii) in the case of a release of the Parent, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver a written release in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, to evidence the release of the Parent promptly upon the reasonable request of the Borrower.

(e) Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to the Collateral subject to release pursuant to this Section 9.18 shall no longer be deemed to be made upon such release.

(f) Any execution and delivery of documents, or the taking of any other action, by the Agents pursuant to this Section 9.18 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Agents.

Section 9.19. U.S.A. PATRIOT Act and Similar Legislation. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and Lenders hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act and the customer due diligence requirements for financial institutions of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (as published at 81 FR 29397, 31 CFR 1010, 1020, 1023, 1024, and 1026), and similar legislation, as applicable, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and its direct and indirect beneficial owners, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to identify time to time the Borrower and its direct and indirect beneficial owners in accordance with the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act and the customer due diligence requirements for financial institutions of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. The Borrower agrees to furnish such information promptly upon the reasonable request of a Lender. Each Lender shall be responsible for satisfying its own requirements in respect of obtaining all such information.

115

Section 9.20. Judgment. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency 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 Arrangers and the Lead Lenders could purchase the first mentioned currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

Section 9.21. No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower. The Borrower hereby agrees that subject to applicable law, nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Agents, the Lenders and the Borrower, their equity holders, or their Affiliates. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction none of the Lenders is acting as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, equity holders, creditors or any other person, (c) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its Affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, (d) the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate and (e) the Lenders may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates and no Lender has an obligation to disclose any such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.

Section 9.22. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an 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 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 to any Lender 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; or

116

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

Section 9.23. Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Agents and their respective Affiliates and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise for purposes of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments, or this Agreement,

(ii) the prohibited transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement,

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

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

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

117

Section 9.24. [Reserved]

Section 9.25. Acknowledgement Regarding Status of Loans as Non-Securities. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Loans to be extended under this Agreement and participations therein are not and are not intended to “constitute securities,” as defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together, the “Securities Act and the Exchange Act”). Each party agrees that it will reflect such Loans and participations therein (if applicable) on its books and records as being instruments that are not “securities,” as defined under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. In connection with the offer, sale, transfer, loan, pledge, or other disposition of a Loan or participation therein, the parties agree to notify any transferee or pledgee that the Loans and participations are not “securities,” as defined under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and, as a result, holders of the purchasers, transferees or pledgees of such Loans or participations will not have the protections of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in respect to such purchase, pledge or borrowing. For all other purposes, the parties agree to treat such Loans and participations therein as instruments that are not securities, as defined under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Section 9.26. Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

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

Section 9.27. Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its reasonable discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative

118

Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative 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, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) (an “Erroneous Payment Demand”) (provided, that, without limiting any other rights or remedies (whether at law or in equity), the Administrative Agent may not make any Erroneous Payment Demand unless such demand is made within ten (10) Business Days of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by the applicable Payment Recipient), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 9.27 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), 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 Administrative 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, 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:

(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) 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 Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender or Secured Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to 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 Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the applicable Agent pursuant to this clause (b).

119

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

(c) Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the applicable Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under this Agreement, or otherwise payable or distributable by the applicable Agent to such Lender or Secured Party under this Agreement with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the applicable Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(d) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the applicable 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 applicable Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge, or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Parent or the Borrower; provided that this Section 9.27 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the applicable Agent; provided, further, 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 applicable Agent from, or on behalf of (including through the exercise of remedies under any Loan Document), the Borrower for the purpose of making a payment, prepayment, repayment on, or discharging or otherwise satisfying, the Obligations.

(e) 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 applicable Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.27 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agents, 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.

The obligations arising out of this agreement (if any) are several and not joint with respect to each participating Lender, in accordance with its proportionate interest hereunder, and the parties agree not to proceed against any Lender for the obligations of another. To the extent a Lender is a registered investment company (“Trust”) or a series thereof, a copy of the Declaration of Trust of such Trust is on file with the Secretary of State of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts or Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The obligations of or arising out of this agreement are not binding upon any of such Trust’s trustees, officers, employees, agents or shareholders individually, but are binding solely upon the assets and property of the Trust in accordance with its proportionate interest hereunder. If this agreement is executed by or on behalf of a Trust on behalf of one or more series of the Trust, the assets and liabilities of each series of the Trust are separate and distinct and the obligations of or arising out of this agreement are binding solely upon the assets or property of the series on whose behalf this agreement is executed. If this agreement is being executed on behalf of more than one series of a Trust, the obligations of each series hereunder shall be several and not joint, in accordance with its proportionate interest hereunder, and the parties agree not to proceed against any series for the obligations of another.
