RECITALS:

WHEREAS, inter alia, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Guarantors and the Lenders entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2020 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements and provisions herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Certain Amendments to the Credit Agreement. On the date hereof, the Credit Agreement shall be amended to delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following sample: stricken text) and to add the underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: double underlined text), in each case, as set forth in the Credit Agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto.

2. Effectiveness. This Amendment will become effective on the date first written above (the “Effective Date”).

3. Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the Administrative Agent to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof as follows:

(a) the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, (i) are within the Borrower’s corporate or other organizational powers, (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and (iii) do not contravene (A) Borrower’s constituent documents or (B) any applicable law or governmental order or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting the Borrower;

(b) the legal representative of the Borrower has the requisite authority to execute this Amendment, which authority has not been revoked, modified or limited in any manner whatsoever;

(c) no authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or any other third party is required for the consummation, due execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower of this Amendment, except for (i) authorizations, approvals, notices or filings that have already been obtained and remain in effect as of the date hereof and (ii) notices (and copies of this Amendment) to be provided to PNC Bank, National Association and M&T Bank following execution hereof; and

4. Acknowledgment and Reaffirmation; Reference to and Effect on Credit Documents. On and after the date hereof, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Credit Documents to the “Credit Agreement,” “thereunder,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the obligations or any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other provision of the Credit Agreement or of any other Credit Document, all of which are ratified, confirmed, affirmed and reaffirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Credit Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the obligations or any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document in similar or different circumstances.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that: (i) this Amendment and any other Credit Documents or other documents or instruments executed and delivered in connection herewith do not constitute a novation, or termination of the obligations as in effect immediately prior to the date hereof; and (ii) such obligations are in all respects continuing with only the terms thereof being modified to the extent expressly provided in this Amendment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment shall not constitute a waiver of any provision of, or operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Secured Parties under, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents.

Each of the Borrower and the undersigned Guarantors, as party to the Credit Agreement and certain of the Security Documents and the other Credit Documents, in each case as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, hereby (i) acknowledges and agrees that all of its obligations under the Credit Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party are reaffirmed and remain in full force and effect on a continuous basis, (ii) reaffirms (A) each Lien granted by it to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to secure the Secured Obligations and (B) any guaranties made by it pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement, (iii) acknowledges and agrees that the grants of security interests by it contained in the Security Pledge Agreement and any other Security Document shall remain in full force and effect after giving effect to this Amendment and shall continue to secure all of the Secured Obligations, and (iv) agrees that the Secured Obligations include, among other things and without limitation, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower when due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of principal and interest on, and premium (if any) on, the Loans under the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

This Amendment shall be deemed to be a Credit Document, as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement.

2

5. Entire Agreement. This Amendment, the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and verbal, among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

6. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIMS SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW OR TORT LAW ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND ANY DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO POST-JUDGMENT INTEREST) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

7. Severability. Any term or provision of this Amendment which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Amendment or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Amendment in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Amendment is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would be enforceable.

8. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by e-signature, facsimile or in electronic format (e.g., “pdf” or “tif” file format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Amendment or any document to be signed in connection with this Amendment or any Credit Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.

ARTICLE II

Amount and Terms of Credit Facilities

Section 2.01 Loans.

(a) Initial Term Loans. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender having a Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make a loan or loans (each such Initial Term Loan (an “Initial Term Loan”), any Delayed Draw Term Loans, Extended Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans are referred to individually as a “Term Loan” and collectively as the “Term Loans”) in the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on Schedule 1.01(a) to the Borrower, which Term Loans (i) shall not exceed, for any such Lender, the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender, (ii) shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Total Term Loan Commitment, (iii) shall be made on the Closing Date, (iv) may, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or LIBOR Term Loans; provided, that all such Term Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Term Loans of the same Type, and (v) may be repaid or prepaid in accordance with the provisions hereof, but once repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(b) Delayed Draw Term Loans.

(i) General. Subject only to the satisfaction or waiver by the applicable Lender with a Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment in accordance with Section 7.02 of each of the applicable Delayed Draw Term Loan Funding Conditions, on any Business Day prior to the applicable Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Expiration Date, pursuant to in a written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (a “Delayed Draw Term Loan Notice”) delivered by the Borrower to Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to such date, each Lender with a Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of such Class agrees, severally and not jointly, to make a Delayed Draw Term Loan to Borrower in an original principal amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of such Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment multiplied by the amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loan requested in such Delayed Draw Term Loan Notice but in any event not in excess of such Lender’s pro rata share of the then unfunded portion of such Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment. Each Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be required to be requested in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less at such time, the remaining unfunded portion of the applicable Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment). Each Delayed Draw Term Loan made to Borrower shall result in an immediate and permanent reduction in the applicable Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment in the principal amount of such Delayed Draw Term Loan so made, to be shared by the Lenders with Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments of the applicable Class in accordance with their pro rata shares of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of such Class then in effect. Borrower will use the proceeds of the Delayed Draw Term Loans as set forth in Section 9.11. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of the Delayed Draw Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Subject to clause (v) below, each Delayed Draw Term Loan shall, upon the funding thereof, be on the same terms (as amended from time to time) (including pricing and maturity date) as, and become a part of and be of the same Class as, the Initial Term Loan. Each Delayed Draw

45

Term Loan A Commitment shall terminate in its entirety on the applicable Delayed Draw Term Loan A Commitment Expiration Date. Each Delayed Draw Term Loan B Commitment shall terminate in its entirety on the applicable Delayed Draw Term Loan B Commitment Expiration Date. The Borrower may make up to (i) two (2) Borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan A Facility and (ii) seven (7) Borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan B Facility.

(ii) Amortization Payments. Each Delayed Draw Term Loan shall amortize based on the same percentage as the initial Term Loan as specified in Section 2.05(b) (and may include customary adjustments to provide for the “fungibility” of the Delayed Draw Term Loans with the initial Term Loans), beginning on the last day of the first full calendar quarter after such Delayed Draw Term Loan is made and on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter, with the remaining principal amount of such Delayed Draw Term Loan then outstanding due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(iii) Voluntary Commitment Reductions. Borrower may, with at least three (3) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, permanently terminate or reduce all or any portion of the unfunded Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of each Class without any fees, premiums or penalties (other than pursuant to Section 4.01(a)); provided that such reductions shall be in an amount greater than or equal to $1,000,000 or, if less, the remaining Aggregate Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of such Class or Classes. All reductions of the Aggregate Delayed Draw Term Loan A Commitment shall be allocated pro rata among all Delayed Draw Term Loan A Lenders. All reductions of the Aggregate Delayed Draw Term Loan B Commitment shall be allocated pro rata among all Delayed Draw Term Loan B Lenders.

(iv) Funding of Delayed Draw Term Loans. The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender with an applicable Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment promptly after receipt of a Delayed Draw Term Loan Notice of the details thereof. Each such Lender shall, severally and not jointly, make the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of each Delayed Draw Term Loan available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent’s account not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested funding date so that the Administrative Agent may make such Delayed Draw Term Loan available to the Borrower in same day funds by wire transfer to Borrower’s account.

(v) Amounts borrowed as an Initial Term Loan or Delayed Draw Term Loan which are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(c) [Reserved].

(d) Incremental Facilities.

(i) Requests. The Borrower may at any time or from time to time (on one or more occasions) after the Closing Date, add one or more additional Classes of term loans (an “Incremental Facility”) and/or increase the principal amount of the Term Loans by requesting new term loan commitments to be added to such Loans (an “Incremental Term Increase”, and together with any Incremental

46

Facility, the “Incremental Term Loans”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Facilities that can be incurred at any time shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Amount at such time. Each Incremental Facility shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree); provided that the principal amount may be less than such amount or integral multiple if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Facilities set forth above.

(ii) Lenders. After the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 2.01(d)(i), the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower shall mutually and reasonably determine the Persons who will provide such remaining Incremental Facility; provided that, the Borrower may select one (1) or more additional Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to provide such Incremental Facility, subject to any consents that would otherwise be required for assignments to such Lender(s)) (it being understood that no existing Lender will have any obligation to provide all or any portion of such Incremental Facility).

(iii) Conditions. No Incremental Facility shall become effective under this Section 2.01(d) unless, immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Facility, the Loans to be made thereunder (and assuming that the cash proceeds of such Incremental Facility are not netted), and the application of the proceeds therefrom,

(A) no Event of Default shall exist; provided that in the case of Incremental Facilities being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, compliance with this clause (A) shall be determined as of the LCA Test Date and no Specified Event of Default (other than a Specified Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.01(c)) shall exist at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition;

(B) [reserved];

(C) all representations and warranties made by each Credit Party contained herein or in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects, in each case, with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such Credit Extension (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); provided, that any representation or warranty that, by its terms, is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language or subject to dollar thresholds, shall be true and correct in all respects in accordance with its terms on such respective dates; provided further that, if the proceeds of such Incremental Term Loan are being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, then the condition in this clause (B) shall instead be that no Lender shall be obligated to fund the Incremental Term Loan with respect thereto unless the representations and warranties contained in the agreement relating to the Limited Condition Acquisition as are material to the interests of the Agent and the Lenders shall be true and correct, but

47

only to the extent that a Credit Party, or an Affiliate of a Credit Party, has the right to terminate its obligations under such agreement (or the right not to consummate the Limited Condition Acquisition under such agreement) as a result of the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct as of such date (except to the extent relating to an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date);

(D) the proceeds of such Incremental Facility shall be used for Investments permitted by this Agreement, general working capital, general corporate purposes, capital expenditures and Permitted Acquisitions, permitted Restricted Payments and any other transaction permitted by this Agreement, and

(E) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of such incurrence certifying as to the foregoing.

(iv) Terms.

(A) The final maturity date of any Incremental Term Loan shall be no earlier than the maturity date of the Initial Term Loans and the weighted average life to maturity of any such Incremental Term Loan shall not be shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Initial Term Loans (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of Term Loans prior to such date of determination). The Effective Yield and giving effect to any amendments to such that became effective subsequent to the Closing Date but prior to the time any such Incremental Term Loan is requested, but excluding any arrangement, commitment, structuring and underwriting fees and any amendment fees paid or payable to the lead arrangers (or their Affiliates) in their respective capacities as such in connection with the existing Term Loan Facility or to one or more arrangers (or their Affiliates) in their capacities as such applicable to such Incremental Term Loan shall be excluded (unless such fees are payable to all lenders (or any of their Affiliates) under such Incremental Term Loan), applicable to any Incremental Term Loan shall not be more than 0.50% per annum higher than the corresponding Effective Yield (determined on the same basis) applicable to the then outstanding Initial Term Loans or the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, unless the interest rate margin (and the interest rate floor, if applicable) with respect to the then outstanding Initial Term Loans or the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility is increased by an amount equal to the difference between (1) the Effective Yield with respect to the Incremental Term Loan and (2) the Effective Yield on the then outstanding Initial Term Loans or any Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, as applicable, minus 0.50% per annum; provided that to the extent the Effective Yield with respect to such Incremental Facility is greater than such Effective Yield with respect to the then outstanding Initial Term Loans or the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility solely as a result of a higher interest rate floor, then the interest rate margin increase shall be effectuated solely by increasing the interest rate floor on the then outstanding Initial Term Loans or the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, but only to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor on the then outstanding Initial Term Loans or the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder (the adjustments pursuant to this sentence, the “MFN Adjustment”). Except with respect to pricing, interest rate margins, discounts, premiums, rate floors and fees and (subject to this clause (A)) maturity

48

and amortization, any Incremental Term Loan shall be on terms consistent with the Initial Term Loans and shall have such other terms as agreed to between the Borrower and the “required lenders” or “required holders” providing such Incremental Term Loan; provided that representations, warranties, covenants and events of default or other provisions agreed to between the Borrower and the “required lenders” or “required holders” providing such Incremental Term Loan with respect to such Incremental Term Loan may be inconsistent with the initial Term Loans so long as, if any such representation, warranty, covenant or event of default or other provision are more restrictive (taken as a whole) than, or otherwise more favorable (taken as a whole) (in each case, as reasonably determined by the Borrower) to the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans than, those applicable to the initial Term Loans, either (x) the initial Term Loans shall receive the benefit of any such additional or more restrictive representation, warranty, covenant or event of default or other provision or (y) such representations, warranties, covenants or events of default or other provisions shall be effective after the indefeasible satisfaction in full and discharge of the initial Term Loans. There shall be no borrower or guarantor in respect of any Incremental Facility that is not the Borrower or a Guarantor (or joined as such substantially concurrently with the incurrence of such Incremental Facility).

(B) Any Incremental Facility shall (i) rank pari passu with any then-existing Class of Loans, as applicable, in right of payment and/or security, (ii) not be secured by any assets other than the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations, (iii) not be guaranteed by any Person which is not a Credit Party and (iv) be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(v) Required Amendments. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility, this Agreement may be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence of such Incremental Facility and the Loans evidenced thereby, and any joinder agreement or amendment may without the consent of the other Lenders effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower, to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.01(d), and, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.01(d)(v) shall supersede any provisions in Section 13.01. From and after each Incremental Effective Date, the Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.01(d), which for the avoidance of doubt, shall consist of Incremental Term Loans secured on a pari passu basis with the initial Term Loans, shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the guarantees and security interests created by the applicable Security Documents, unless the Borrowers and the Lenders in respect of any such Incremental Term Loans elect lesser sharing of guarantees or Collateral. The Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Liens and security interests granted by the applicable Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Loans and Commitments.

49

(e) LIBOR Rate Loans. Each Lender, may at its option, make any LIBOR Rate Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such LIBOR Rate Loan; provided, that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such LIBOR Rate Loan and (ii) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to minimize any increased costs to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of the Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it determines would be otherwise disadvantageous to it).

Section 2.02 [Reserved]

Section 2.03 Notice of Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior written notice (i) prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to each Borrowing of Term Loans which are to be initially LIBOR Rate Loans (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in the case of the Borrowing of Term Loans on the Closing Date or in connection with any Incremental Facility), and (ii) prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to each Borrowing of Term Loans which are to be ABR Loans. Such notice in the form of Exhibit E (a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans to be made, (B) the date of the Borrowing (which shall be, (x) in the case of Term Loans, the Closing Date and (y) in the case of any Incremental Term Loans, the applicable Closing Date for such tranche) and (C) whether the Term Loans shall consist of ABR Loans and/or LIBOR Term Loans and, if the Term Loans are to include LIBOR Term Loans, the LIBOR Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing of Term Loans, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters covered by the related Notice of Borrowing.

Section 2.04 Disbursement of Funds. (a) No later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time), in the case of each Borrowing of Term Loans for which all conditions to the making of such Loan set forth in this Agreement have been met prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the requested date of such Borrowing specified in the Notice of Borrowing therefor, each Lender will make available its pro rata portion, if any, of such Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below.

(b) Each Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund to the Borrower under any Borrowing, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower, by depositing in an account designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in writing, the aggregate of the amounts so made available in Dollars. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available the same to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, to the date such

50

corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 2.08, applicable to ABR Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay interest to the Administrative Agent for the same (or a portion of the same) period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.

(c) Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).

Section 2.05 Payment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) Term Loans. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders of the Term Loans, beginning on June 30, 2020 and on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter (each, a “Term Loan Repayment Date”), an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Initial Term Loan on the Closing Date (as the same may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(ii) or Section 5.04, each a “Term Loan Repayment Amount”). The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, on the Term Loan Maturity Date, all then outstanding Term Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, no amounts repaid on the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) may be reborrowed.

(c) Pro Rata Adjustments. The Administrative Agent may, at the time of incurrence thereof, adjust the amortization payment to be made to any applicable Lender in conjunction with the incurrence of any Delayed Draw Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Extended Term Loans (in each case, solely to the extent such Delayed Draw Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Extended Term Loans otherwise have the same terms and conditions as existing Term Loans) in order to maintain the pro rata allocation of amortization payments between and among Term Loans that otherwise have the same terms and conditions but are incurred on different dates. With respect to any Incremental Term Loan or Extended Term Loan, such amortization payment shall be as specified in the applicable amendment, Extension Offer or joinder agreement.

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

(e) The Borrower agrees that from time to time on and after the Closing Date, upon the request to the Agent by any Lender, at the Borrower’s own expense, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a Note, evidencing the Loans made by, and payable to such Lender or its registered assigns in a maximum principal amount equal to such Lender’s share of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans or the applicable Aggregate Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such Lender’s Note (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of,

51

the outstanding principal amount of, and the interest rate and LIBOR Period applicable to, the Loans evidenced thereby. Such notations shall, to the extent not inconsistent with notations made by the Administrative Agent in the Register, be conclusive and binding on each Credit Party absent manifest error; provided, that the failure of any Lender to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of any Credit Party. The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 13.06(b)(iv), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of each Loan made and the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender and its registered assigns hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrower and each Lender’s and/or its registered assigns’ share thereof. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(f) The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (d) and (e) of this Section 2.05 shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.06 Conversions and Continuations. (a) The Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Term Loans as LIBOR Term Loans, for an additional LIBOR Period; provided, that (i) ABR Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Rate Loans if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the proposed conversion and the Administrative Agent has, or the Required Lenders in respect of the Credit Facility that is the subject of such conversion have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion, (ii) LIBOR Rate Loans may not be continued as LIBOR Rate Loans if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the proposed continuation and the Administrative Agent has, or the Required Lenders in respect of the Credit Facility that is the subject of such conversion have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation and (iii) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.01. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent written notice prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days (or one (1) Business Day in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans) (and in either case on not more than ten (10) Business Days) prior to such proposed conversion or continuation, in the form of Exhibit F (each, a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of Loans to be converted or continued into and, if such Loans are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans, the LIBOR Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Loans.

(b) If any Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any LIBOR Rate Loans and the Administrative Agent has, or the Required Lenders have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, such LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of the current LIBOR Period into ABR Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current LIBOR Period. If, upon the expiration of any LIBOR Period in respect of LIBOR Rate Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect a new LIBOR Period to be applicable thereto as provided in Section 2.06(a), the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected a LIBOR Period of one month’s duration.

52

Section 2.07 Pro Rata Borrowings. Each Borrowing of Initial Term Loans under this Agreement shall be granted by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Initial Term Loan Commitments. Each Borrowing of Delayed Draw Term Loans under this Agreement shall be granted by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments. Each Borrowing of Incremental Term Loans under this Agreement shall be granted by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Incremental Facilities. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder.

Section 2.08 Interest. (a) The unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan that is an ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin plus the ABR in effect from time to time.

(b) The unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time plus the relevant LIBOR Rate.

(c) Automatically from and after the occurrence of a Specified Event of Default (other than a Specified Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.01(c)) (which may be applicable on a retroactive basis to such date of occurrence of such Specified Event of Default), the Borrower shall pay interest (i) on the overdue outstanding principal amount of all Loans and all other overdue and unpaid amounts of the Obligations (after giving effect to any applicable grace period) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, at the rate described in Section 2.08(a) or Section 2.08(b), as applicable, plus two (2) percentage points (2%) per annum, and (ii) on any fees in connection with the facilities hereunder (after giving effect to any applicable grace period) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, plus two (2) percentage points (2%) per annum in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to ABR Loans. All such interest shall be payable on demand and in immediately available funds.

(d) Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment or prepayment thereof and shall be payable (i) in respect of each ABR Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, beginning with the quarter during which the Closing Date occurs, (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Rate Loan, on the last day of each LIBOR Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an LIBOR Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such LIBOR Period, and (iii) in respect of each Loan, on the date of prepayment thereof (on the amount prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(e) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 5.05.

(f) The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

53

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing and to the extent in compliance with Section 2.18, Loans extended in connection with an Extension Offer shall bear interest at the rate set forth in the Extension Amendment to the extent a different interest rate is specified therein.

Section 2.09 LIBOR Periods. At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans (in the case of the initial LIBOR Period applicable thereto) or prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third (3^rd) Business Day (and in any event, on not more than ten (10) Business Days’ notice) prior to the expiration of an LIBOR Period applicable to a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans, the Borrower shall have, by giving the Administrative Agent written notice the right to elect the LIBOR Period applicable to such Borrowing, which LIBOR Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two, three or six month period (or, if available to all relevant affected Lenders, a twelve month period):

(a) the initial LIBOR Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans) and each LIBOR Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the immediately preceding LIBOR Period expires;

(b) if any LIBOR Period relating to a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month or begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such LIBOR Period, such LIBOR Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such LIBOR Period;

(c) if any LIBOR Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such LIBOR Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, that if any LIBOR Period in respect of a LIBOR Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such LIBOR Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day; and

(d) the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect any LIBOR Period in respect of any LIBOR Rate Loan if such LIBOR Period would extend beyond the applicable Maturity Date of such Loan.

Section 2.10 Alternate Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) that the Required Lenders have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”),

54

then, after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBOR Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that has been broadly accepted by the syndicated loan market in the United States in lieu of LIBOR (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.01, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Rate Loans or Interest Periods). Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a LIBOR Rate Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

For purposes hereof, “LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” shall mean, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of ABR, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower), to reflect the adoption of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines in consultation with the Borrower).

Section 2.11 Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of a LIBOR Rate Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the LIBOR Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06, 2.10, 4.01 or 4.02, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Article XI or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Borrowing (except with respect to a revocation as provided in Section 2.10), (c) any ABR Loan is not converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d) any LIBOR Rate Loan is not continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (e) any prepayment of principal of a LIBOR Rate Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.02, the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue, failure to prepay, reduction or failure to reduce, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Rate Loan. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 2.11, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Rate Loan made by it at the LIBOR Rate for such LIBOR Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

55

Section 2.12 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate); or

(ii) subject any Lender to any Tax with respect to any Credit Document (other than (A) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.04, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes); or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) 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 promptly after such Lender has made a request in compliance with this Section 2.12.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements or liquidity 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 the Loans made by such Lender 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 and liquidity), 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 promptly after such Lender has made a request in compliance with this Section 2.12.

(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 clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, that any such certificate claiming amounts described in clause (x) or (y) of the definition of “Change in Law” shall, in addition, state the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certify that such Lender’s demand for payment of such costs hereunder, and such method of allocation is not inconsistent with its treatment of other borrowers which, as a credit matter, are similarly situated to the Borrower and which are subject to similar provisions. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Promptly after any Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 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 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 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.

56

Section 2.13 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (c) the failure to borrow (other than due to the default of the relevant Lender), convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event promptly after such Lender has made a request in compliance with this Section 2.13. In the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender (it being understood that the deemed amount shall not exceed the actual amount) to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a LIBOR Rate Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in Dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 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 30 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.14 [Reserved].

Section 2.15 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 13.01.

(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 Section 6.02(f) or Article XI or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.09), 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 Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which 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 such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event

57

of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against 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. 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 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Fees set forth in Section 4.01(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such Fees that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(iv) [Reserved].

(v) [Reserved].

(vi) Responsibility. The failure of any Defaulting Lender to fund any purchase of any participation to be made or funded by it, or to make any payment required by it under any Credit Document on the date set forth shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such loan, fund the purchase of any such participation, or make any other such required payment on such date, and neither the Agent nor, other than as expressly set forth herein, any other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make a loan, fund the purchase of a participation or make any other required payment under any Credit Document.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. Once the Defaulting Lender has cured such default in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, 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 or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitment), 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; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.16 [Reserved].

Section 2.17 [Reserved].

Section 2.18 Extensions of Term Loans. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower after the date that is two (2) years after the date hereof to all Lenders of Term Loans with a like

58

maturity date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans with a like maturity date) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans (and, if applicable, by modifying the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Term Loans so extended, as well as the original Term Loans not so extended, being a “tranche”; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans from the tranche of Term Loans from which they were extended), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i)(1) except as to pricing (including interest rates, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums), amortization, maturity, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (i)(2), (i)(3) and (ii), be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Loan Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Term Loans (an “Extending Term Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms the terms and conditions of the tranche of Term Loans subject as to such Extension Offer, (2) the weighted average life to maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Class extended thereby and (3) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis), in each case after giving effect to any Extended Term Loans, in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments of Term Loans hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer, (ii) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof), in respect of which Term Loan Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans of such Term Loan Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Loan Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer and (iii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of this Agreement and (ii) each Extension Offer shall specify the minimum amount of Term Loans to be tendered. The transactions contemplated by this Section 2.18 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) shall not require the consent of any Lender or any other Person (other than as set forth in clause (c) below).

(c) No consent of any Lender or any other Person shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans (or a portion thereof), the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent. All Extended Term Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (an “Extension Amendment”) with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and the Borrower to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18 (including in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches on terms consistent with this Section 2.18).

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.18.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, at any time and from time to time following the establishment of a Class of Extended Term Loans, the Borrower may offer any Lender of a Term Loan Facility that had been subject to an Extension Amendment (without being required to make the same offer to any or all other Lenders) who had not elected to participate in such Extension Amendment the right to convert all or any portion of its Term Loans into such Class of Extended Term Loans; provided, that (i) such offer and any related acceptance shall be in accordance with such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably requested by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent; (ii) such additional Extended Term Loans, (x) shall be on identical terms (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with the relevant Lenders) with the existing Extended Term Loans, and (y) with respect to any additional Extended Term Loans shall result in proportionate increases to the scheduled amortization payments otherwise owing with respect to any such Extended Term Loans, (iii) any Lender which elects to participate in an Extension Facility pursuant to this clause (e) shall enter into a joinder agreement to the respective Extension Amendment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and executed by such Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, the Borrower and the other Credit Parties and (iv) any such additional Extended Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $1,000,000 (or, in the case of an outstanding Class with an entire outstanding principal amount of existing Term Loans less than a $1,000,000 that is to be refinanced in full, such outstanding principal amount or commitments), unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent otherwise consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Loans made as provided above shall be treated as part of the Class to which such Loans are added, and shall not constitute a new Class of Extended Term Loans.

Section 5.02 Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.

(a) (i) Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 5.02(a) and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, on or prior to the tenth (10^th) Business Day after the date on which the Borrower is required to deliver a Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(iii) (the “ECF Payment Date”), commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to: (A) fifty percent (50%) of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (if any) for such fiscal year, to be applied as set forth in Section 5.02(a)(ix); provided, that if, with respect to any fiscal year in which a mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.02(a)(i) is otherwise due, the Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such fiscal year is (x) equal to 0.50x less than the applicable Closing Date Leverage Ratio, then the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (if any) for such fiscal year, or (y) equal to 1.00x less than the applicable Closing Date Leverage Ratio, then the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to zero percent (0%) of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (if any) for such fiscal year; minus (B) to the extent not funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness (and to the extent funded with the proceeds of equity, such proceeds shall not increase any other basket hereunder), the sum of all voluntary prepayment of the Loans (to the extent permitted hereunder) made during such fiscal year and, at the Borrower’s option, during the period after the end of such fiscal year and before the applicable ECF Payment Date (provided, that any such prepayment made after the end of such fiscal year but before the applicable ECF Payment Date that Borrower elects to deduct from the payment required under this provision in respect of the prior fiscal year shall not reduce Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year in which such payment is made).

(ii) Upon the incurrence or issuance of any Indebtedness by any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 10.01 (including any Permitted Refinancing (other than any refinancing of the Term Loan Facility))), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Debt Proceeds plus the Applicable Prepayment Premium, to be applied as set forth in Section 5.02(a)(vi). Nothing in this Section 5.02(a)(ii) shall be construed to permit or waive any Default or Event of Default arising from any incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness not permitted under the terms of this Agreement.

(iii) Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 5.02(a), no later than five (5) Business Days after the receipt by any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries of any cash proceeds from any Disposition (other than any Disposition permitted under Section 10.04(a), Section 10.04(b) (solely with respect to proceeds constituting (x) M&T Priority Collateral and solely to the extent that such proceeds are required by the terms of any M&T Real Estate Debt to be used to prepay such M&T Real Estate Debt or (y) ABL Priority Collateral and solely to the extent that such proceeds are required by the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement to be used to prepay any Indebtedness thereunder or (z) Other Real Estate Priority Collateral and solely to the extent that such proceeds are required by the terms of the Real Estate Facility and/or the ARKO Real Estate Facility to be used to prepay any Indebtedness thereunder), Section 10.04(c), Section 10.04(d), Section 10.04(e), Section 10.04(f), Section 10.04(g), Section 10.04(h), Section 10.04(i), Section 10.04(j), Section 10.04(k), Section 10.04(l), Section 10.04(m), Section 10.04(n), Section 10.04(p), Section 10.04(q), Section 10.04(r), Section 10.04(s) (solely with respect to Permitted Liens arising in the ordinary course of business), Section 10.04(u), Section 10.04(v), Section 10.04(w), Section 10.04(y) and Section 10.04(z)), the Credit Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall prepay the Loans in an

62

amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Disposition Proceeds from such Disposition, only to the extent the aggregate amount of such Net Disposition Proceeds in any fiscal year exceeds $2,000,000 in the aggregate and then only in the amount of such excess, plus the Applicable Prepayment Premium, to be applied as set forth in Section 5.02(a)(vi); provided, that any Credit Party or their respective Subsidiaries may, at their option by notice in writing to the Agent on or prior to the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the occurrence of the Disposition giving rise to such Net Disposition Proceeds, elect to reinvest such Net Disposition Proceeds in assets that are used or useful in the business of any Credit Party or their Subsidiaries (including Permitted Acquisitions, other permitted Investments, permitted sale leaseback transactions and permitted exchange transactions under Section 1031 of the Code) to the extent that any Credit Party or such Subsidiary makes such reinvestment within twelve (12) months following the occurrence of the Disposition; provided, however, any Credit Party or such Subsidiary may consummate such reinvestment within eighteen (18) months after the occurrence of the Disposition, so long as any Credit Party or such Subsidiary shall have entered into a definitive agreement for the purchase of assets or property within the first twelve (12) month period. Nothing in this Section 5.02(a)(iii) shall be construed to permit or waive any Default or Event of Default arising from any Disposition not permitted under the terms of this Agreement.

(iv) Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 5.02(a), no later than five (5) Business Days after the receipt by any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries of any cash proceeds from any Casualty Event (for the avoidance of doubt, other than proceeds constituting (x) M&T Priority Collateral solely to the extent that such proceeds are required by the terms of any M&T Real Estate Debt to be used to prepay such M&T Real Estate Debt or (y) ABL Priority Collateral and solely to the extent that such proceeds are required by the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement to be used to prepay any Indebtedness thereunder or (z) Other Real Estate Priority Collateral and solely to the extent that such proceeds are required by the terms of the Real Estate Facility and/or the ARKO Real Estate Facility to be used to prepay any Indebtedness thereunder), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Casualty Proceeds, plus the Applicable Prepayment Premium, to be applied as set forth in Section 5.02(a)(vi); provided, that the any Credit Party or their respective Subsidiaries may, at their option by notice in writing to the Agent no later than thirty (30) days following the occurrence of the Casualty Event resulting in such Net Casualty Proceeds), use such Net Casualty Proceeds to repair or reinvest such Net Casualty Proceeds in assets that are used or useful in the business of such Credit Party or such Subsidiaries (including Permitted Acquisitions and other permitted Investments) to the extent that such Credit Party or such Subsidiary makes such repair or reinvestment within twelve (12) months following the occurrence of the Casualty Event (or, so long as applicable permits and approvals are being diligently pursued by the Borrower in respect of such repair or reinvestment, eighteen (18) months); provided, however, the Credit Parties or such Subsidiary may consummate such repair or reinvestment within eighteen (18) months after the occurrence of the Casualty Event (or, so long as applicable permits and approvals are being diligently pursued by the Borrower in respect of such repair or reinvestment, twenty-four (24) months), so long as such Credit Party or such Subsidiary shall have entered into a definitive agreement for the repair or the purchase of assets or property

63

within the first twelve (12) month period. Any amounts of Net Casualty Proceeds unused after such period shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.02(a)(vi).Nothing in this Section 5.02(a)(iv) shall be construed to permit or waive any Default or Event of Default arising from, directly or indirectly, any Casualty Event.

(v) [reserved].

(vi) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments and Commitment reductions made pursuant to Section 5.02 shall be applied to the principal installments of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b) pro rata (other than the final scheduled installment on the Term Loan Maturity Date). For the avoidance of doubt, all prepayments that are to be applied to the Term Loans shall be applied pro rata between the Initial Term Loan funded on the Closing Date and any Delayed Draw Term Loans based on the then outstanding principal balances thereof.

(vii) Each Lender holding any Term Loans may reject all of its pro rata share or other applicable share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 5.02(a) (other than clause (ii) thereof) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of such prepayment. If a Lender holding any Term Loans fails to deliver a notice of such rejection to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to an extension of time for such failure to be corrected. Any Declined Proceeds shall be retained by the Borrower, and may be used for general corporate purposes subject to the restrictions herein.

(viii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all mandatory prepayments to be made by the Credit Parties pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i), (iii) and (iv) shall be limited to the extent that the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Required Lenders) reasonably determines in good faith that such prepayment would result in material adverse tax consequences to the Borrower or its direct or indirect owners resulting from a repatriation of cash from a Foreign Subsidiary (for the avoidance of doubt, other than de minimis tax consequences, and after taking into account any foreign tax credit or other tax benefit realized in connection with such repatriation) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, any prepayment whereby doing so the Borrower and its respective Subsidiaries (or, in the case of a flow-through tax structure, their respective equity investors) would incur a Tax liability, including in connection with a taxable dividend or a withholding Tax) or would be prohibited, restricted or delayed by Applicable Law, in which case such repatriation shall not be required (and in the case of a material adverse tax consequence, only to the extent of such consequence). All mandatory prepayments are subject to permissibility under (a) local law (e.g., financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra-group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the relevant Subsidiaries), (b) applicable rules, regulations and guidance published by any Regulatory Supervising Organization and (c) material constituent document restrictions (including as a result of minority

64

ownership) and other material agreements. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a result of this Section 5.02(a)(viii) will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of Default, and such amounts shall be available for working capital purposes of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries as long as such amounts are not required to be prepaid in accordance with the foregoing provisions in this Section 5.02. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries will undertake to use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of one (1) year to overcome or eliminate any such restrictions (subject to the considerations above and as determined in the Borrower’s reasonable business judgment) to make the relevant prepayment, but in no event shall the Borrower be required to repatriate cash at Foreign Subsidiaries to the extent of any material adverse tax consequence to the Borrower or its direct or indirect owners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayments required after application of the above provision shall be net of any costs, expenses or taxes incurred by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any of its equity partners (including, without duplication, any Tax Distributions permitted by Section 10.06) and arising as a result of compliance with the preceding sentence. Any Consolidated Excess Cash Flow or proceeds excluded from the mandatory prepayment requirements by operation of this Section 5.02(a)(viii) (the “Excluded Foreign Prepayment Proceeds”) shall not increase the Available Amounts Basket.

(b) [reserved].

(c) [reserved].

(d) Application to Term Loans. With respect to each prepayment of Term Loans elected by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.01(b) or required by Section 5.02(b), the Borrower may designate the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made; provided, that the Borrower pays any amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11 with respect to prepayments of LIBOR Term Loans made on any date other than the last day of the applicable LIBOR Period. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11. Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the Loans so prepaid, through the date of such prepayment.

(e) [reserved].

(f) Application of Collateral Proceeds. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.01 or this Section 5.02, all proceeds of Collateral received by any Collateral Agent pursuant to the exercise of remedies against the Collateral, and all payments received upon and after the acceleration of any of the Obligations shall be, subject to the provisions of Section 2.14 and the Intercreditor Agreement, applied as set forth in this clause (f), as follows (subject to adjustments pursuant to any agreements entered into among the Lenders):

(i) first, to pay any costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent and fees then due to the Collateral Agent under the Credit Documents, and any indemnities then due to the Agent under the Credit Documents, until paid in full,

65

(ii) second, to pay any fees or premiums then due to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders under the Credit Documents until paid in full,

(iii) third, ratably to pay any costs or expense reimbursements of Lenders and indemnities then due to any of the Lenders under the Credit Documents until paid in full,

(iv) fourth, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the outstanding the Term Loans until paid in full,

(v) fifth, to pay any other Obligations, and

(vi) sixth, to the Borrower or such other Person entitled thereto under Applicable Law.

Section 5.03 Payment of Obligations; Method and Place of Payment. (a) The obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under each other Credit Document are not subject to counterclaim, set-off, rights of rescission, or any other defense. Subject to Section 5.04, and except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrower, without set-off, rights of rescission, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Secured Parties entitled thereto, as the case may be, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars to the Administrative Agent, and any amounts received after such time on such date shall be deemed received on such date for purposes of determining whether an Event of Default has occurred (provided, that such amounts shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon). The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time), on such day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Fees ratably to the Secured Parties entitled thereto, as applicable.

(b) For purposes of computing interest or fees, any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time), shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall continue to accrue during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

(c) The Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to, at its option (or upon the direction of the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders), from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, charge the Borrower’s loan account for any and all Obligations that remain unpaid after the due date therefor (after giving effect to any grace periods provided for in Section 11.01(a)) and, with respect to Obligations that are not fees, interest or principal payments, are not the subject of a bona fide dispute. All amounts so charged to the Borrower’s loan account thereafter shall constitute Term Loans hereunder and, subject to Section 2.08(c), shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Term Loans that are ABR Loans.

Section 5.04 Net Payments. (a) All payments made by or on behalf of any Credit Party under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by or on behalf of any Credit Party under this Agreement or any other Credit Document (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent), then the applicable

66

withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and if such Tax is a Non-Excluded Tax, then the applicable Credit Party shall increase the amounts payable to the applicable Recipient to the extent necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Whenever any Taxes are paid by a Credit Party pursuant to this Section 5.04(a), as soon as practicable thereafter, the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for any Non-Excluded Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.04(a)) that are paid by the Agent or Lender or that are required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Agent or Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, within ten (10) days after demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by an Agent or Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent, shall timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes. The agreements in this Section 5.04(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) (i) Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided, that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation. 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. Each Person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 13.06 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 5.04(b) as if it were a Lender; provided, that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, no Lender shall be required to deliver any form (other than such documentation required by Sections 5.04(b)(ii)(A)-(C) and (iii)) that in such Lender’s reasonable judgment 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 “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

67

(B) any Lender that is not a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. 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 reasonably be requested) on or about the date on which such Non-U.S. 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 Non-U.S. 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 Credit Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E 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 Credit Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

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

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

(C) Any Non-U.S. Lender 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 Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

68

(iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a payment made to a Recipient under any Credit Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient 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 Recipient 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 Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment under FATCA, if any. Solely for the purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(i) Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 5.04(b) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(c) If any Lender or the Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of a Tax for which it has been indemnified by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.04 (including by the payment of additional amounts by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.04), then such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower for such amount (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made by the Borrower under this Section 5.04 with respect to the Tax giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed on the receipt of such refund) 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 such Agent or such Lender, shall repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent or such Lender in the event such Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (c), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (c) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded 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 13.06 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in

69

each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit 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 Credit 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 (e).

(e) Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.04 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 Credit Document.

Section 5.05 Computations of Interest and Fees. (a) All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of (a) 365 (or 366 as appropriate) days in the case of ABR Loans on which ABR is determined by reference to the “Prime Rate” and (b) 360 days in all other cases. Payments due on a day that is not a Business Day shall (except as otherwise required by Section 2.09(c)) be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with that payment.

(b) Fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.

Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their Affiliates.

If no applicable successor agent has accepted appointment as such Agent in its applicable capacity by the date that is thirty (30) days following such retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, such retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

(B) [reserved];

123

(C) 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 Commitments or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be at least $1,000,000 and in multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Specified Event of Default or a Financial Covenant or Financial Reporting Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further, that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by affiliated Lenders or related Approved Funds and contemporaneous assignments by a single assignor to affiliated Lenders or related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Loans and/or Commitments to any Affiliated Debt Fund, and any Affiliated Debt Fund may, from time to time, purchase Loans and/or Commitments (x) on a pro rata basis through Dutch auctions or other offers open to all applicable Lenders or (y) through open market purchases (which purchases may be effected at any price as agreed between such Lender and such Affiliated Debt Fund in their respective sole discretion), in each case, notwithstanding the requirements set forth in this clause (b) (for the avoidance of doubt, without requiring any representation or warranty as to the possession of material non-public information by such Affiliated Debt Fund or any Affiliate thereof); provided that the Loans and unused Commitments held by all Affiliated Debt Funds shall not account for more than 49.9% of the amounts included in determining whether the Required Lenders have (A) consented to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Credit Document or any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on

124

any matter related to any Credit Document or (C) 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 Credit Document; it being understood and agreed that the portion of the Loans and unused Commitments that accounts for more than 49.9% of the relevant Required Lender shall be deemed to be voted pro rata along with other applicable Lenders that are not Affiliated Debt Funds. Any Loans acquired by any Affiliated Debt Fund may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to the Borrower or any other Subsidiary and in exchange therefor such Affiliated Debt Fund may receive debt or equity securities otherwise permitted to be issued by such entity.

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to such assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee (by its execution and delivery of the applicable Assignment and Acceptance to the Administrative Agent) and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section 13.06, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an 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 of (and be subject to the obligations of) Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04 and 13.05); provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.06 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 13.06.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose on behalf of the Borrower as a non-fiduciary, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Total Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Credit Parties, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person

125

whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register, as in effect at the close of business on the preceding Business Day, shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; provided that each Lender’s access to the Register shall be limited to the entries with respect to such Lender including the Commitment of, or principal amount of and stated interest on the Loans owing to such Lender.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b)(i) of this Section 13.06, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless and until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to one or more financial institutions or other entities (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or any Excluded Transferee, to the extent the list thereof is made available by the Borrower to such Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i) of the first proviso to Section 13.01. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 13.06, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and be subject to the obligations of) Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.04 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 13.06. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.09(b) as though it were a Lender, provided, that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.09(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any

126

obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit 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 proposed United States Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Section 13.07 Replacements of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances. (a) The Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall be permitted to either (x) replace any Lender (or any Participant), other than an Affiliate of the Agent, and (y) terminate the Commitments of such Lender, in each case, that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 3.05 or Section 5.04, (ii) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken or (iii) is a Defaulting Lender, provided, that (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Applicable Law, (B) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (C) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement institution shall purchase, at par, plus any Applicable Prepayment Premium) all Loans and other amounts (other than any disputed amounts) pursuant to Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 3.05 or Section 5.04, as the case may be, owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (D) the replacement institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (E) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.06 (except that such replaced Lender shall not be obligated to pay any processing and recordation fee required pursuant thereto), (F) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender, and (G) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.04, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter. In connection with any such replacement, if any such replaced Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance reflecting such replacement within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance to such replaced Lender, then such replaced Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance without any action on the part of the replaced Lender.

(b) If any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has (x) failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination, which pursuant to the terms of Section 13.01 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent or (y) becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent), at their own cost and expense, to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided, that: (i) all Obligations of the Borrower 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 replacement Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus

127

any Applicable Prepayment Premium. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, the Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 13.06 (except that such Non-Consenting Lender shall not be obligated to pay any processing and recordation fee required pursuant thereto); provided that if any such Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance reflecting such replacement within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance to such Non-Consenting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance without any action on the part of the replaced Lender.

Section 13.08 [Reserved]

Section 13.09 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 11.01(g), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (ii) purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, that (i) if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including (x) the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender or (y) 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 (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

Each Credit Party 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 such Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

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

128

Section 13.10 Counterparts. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be executed by one or more of the parties thereto on any number of separate counterparts (including by electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent.

Section 13.11 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.11, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, reorganization and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law), as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 13.12 Integration. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the agreement of the Credit Parties, the Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any party hereto or thereto relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents.

Section 13.13 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED OTHERWISE THEREIN) AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

(a) Currency Conversion Procedures for Judgments. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any other Credit Document in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties hereby agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, on the relevant date, in accordance with its normal procedures, Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency after any premium and costs of exchange on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) Indemnity in Certain Events. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from the Borrower to any Secured Party hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day of receipt (if received by 1:00 p.m. (New York time), and otherwise on the following Business Day) by any Secured Party of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, such Secured Party may, on the relevant date, in accordance with its normal procedures, purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Secured Party in the Original Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding such judgment or payment, to indemnify such Secured Party against such loss.

(c) Currency Conversion Procedures Generally. For purposes of determining compliance with any incurrence or expenditure tests set forth in Articles IX and/or X or with Dollar-based basket levels appearing hereunder or in definitions contained in Section 1.01, any amounts so incurred, expended or utilized (to the extent incurred, expended or utilized in a currency other than Dollars) shall be converted into Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on Reuters ECB page 37 or on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as in effect on the date of such incurrence, expenditure or utilization under any provision of any such Section or definition that has an aggregate Dollar limitation provided for therein (and to the extent the respective incurrence, expenditure or utilization test regulates the aggregate amount outstanding at any time and it is expressed in terms of Dollars, all outstanding amounts originally incurred or spent in currencies other than Dollars shall be converted into Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on Reuters ECB page 37 or on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as in effect on the date of any new incurrence, expenditure or utilization made under any provision of any such Section that regulates the Dollar amount outstanding at any time).

Section 13.26 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Solely to the extent any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding

134

among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA 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 an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA 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 EEA 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 Credit Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
