Any change in ABR due to a change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, respectively. If the ABR is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to subsection 2.11 (for the avoidance of doubt, only until the Benchmark Replacement has been determined pursuant to subsection 2.11(b)), then the ABR shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above.

“Available Tenor”: as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark in respect of Loans denominated in such Currency, as applicable, any tenor for such Benchmark or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period with respect to Loans denominated in the applicable Currency pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (f) of subsection 2.11.

“Bail-In Action”: the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority in respect of any liability of an Affected Financial Institution.

“Bail-In Legislation”: (a) with respect to any EEA Member Country implementing Article 55 of Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union, the implementing law, regulation, rule or requirement for such EEA Member Country from time to time which is described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule and (b) with respect to the United Kingdom, Part I of the United Kingdom Banking Act 2009 (as amended from time to time) and any other law, regulation or rule applicable in the United Kingdom relating to the resolution of unsound or failing banks, investment firms or other financial institutions or their affiliates (other than through liquidation, administration or other insolvency proceedings).

“Benchmark Replacement”: for any Available Tenor with respect to Loans denominated in any Currency, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date; provided that, in the case of any Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency, “Benchmark Replacement” shall mean the alternative set forth in (3) below:

(1) the sum of: (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(2) the sum of: (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(3) the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Company as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor with respect to Loans denominated in such Currency giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body and/or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the applicable Currency at such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

provided that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided further that, solely with respect to a Loan denominated in Dollars, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, to the extent that a Term SOFR Transition Event has occurred, and a Term SOFR Notice has been delivered, on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date the “Benchmark Replacement” shall revert to and shall be deemed to be the sum of (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, as set forth in clause (1) of this definition (subject to the first proviso above).

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment”: with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with respect to Loans denominated in any Currency with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:

(1) for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent:

(a) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and

(b) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and

(2) for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Company for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and/or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the applicable Currency at such time;

provided that, in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes”: with respect to any Benchmark Replacement in respect of Loans denominated in any Currency, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “ABR,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides in its reasonable discretion (in consultation with the Company) may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides in its reasonable discretion that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines (in consultation with the Company) is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

“Benchmark Replacement Date”: with respect to the Benchmark for any Loan denominated in any Currency, the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein; or

(3) in the case of a Term SOFR Transition Event, the date that is thirty (30) days after the date a Term SOFR Notice is provided to the Banks and the Company pursuant to Section 2.11(c); or

(4) in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Banks, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Banks, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from Banks comprising the Majority Banks.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Event”: with respect to the Benchmark for any Loan denominated in any Currency, the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:

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

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

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer representative.

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

“Benchmark Unavailability Period”: with respect to the Benchmark for any Loan denominated in any Currency, the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with subsection 2.11 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with subsection 2.11.

1.4Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars and certain Foreign Currencies may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct

Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election with respect to any applicable Currency, subsection 2.11(b) and (c) provide a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to subsection 2.11(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to subsection 2.11(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to subsection 2.11(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate for any Currency will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Eurocurrency Rate or applicable Screen Rate for Loans denominated in such Currency or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate (or the euro interbank offered rate, as applicable) prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

(f)Each Bank may, at its option, make any Loan available to any Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or affiliate of such Bank to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option (i) shall not affect the obligation of such Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) shall not result in any adverse consequences to the Borrowers.

(B)If such Borrower and any Bank agree to the terms of a Negotiated Rate Loan to be made on a Borrowing Date pursuant to a Negotiated Rate Loan Request, such Borrower and such Bank shall promptly notify by telephone the Administrative Agent of the aggregate amount of Negotiated Rate Loans to be made on such Borrowing Date and the respective Interest Periods therefor. Each Bank which is to make a Negotiated Rate Loan shall, at such time, on such Borrowing Date and at such location as shall be mutually agreed upon between such Borrower and such Bank, make available to such Borrower the amount of Negotiated Rate Loans to be made by such Bank, in immediately available funds.

(C)As soon as practicable after each Borrowing Date for Bid Loans and Negotiated Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank of the aggregate amount of Bid Loans or Negotiated Rate Loans advanced pursuant to a Bid Loan Request or Negotiated Rate Loan Request on such Borrowing Date and the respective Interest Periods therefor.

(c)Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in this subsection 2.2, the Company and the Capital Corporation may from time to time borrow under this subsection 2.2, repay pursuant to paragraph (d) below, and reborrow under this subsection 2.2.

(d)The Company or the Capital Corporation, as applicable, shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bid Loan Bank (or the Loan Assignee in respect thereof, as the case may be) which has made a Bid Loan to such Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period for each Bid Loan (such Interest Period being that specified by such Borrower for repayment of such Bid Loan in the related Bid Loan Request) the then unpaid principal amount of such Bid Loan. Each Borrower shall repay to each Bank which has made a Negotiated Rate Loan to such Borrower (or the Loan Assignee in respect thereof, as the case may be) the principal thereof as agreed by such Borrower and such Bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s obligation to repay its Bid Loans and Negotiated Rate Loans is a several obligation.

(e)Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Bid Loan and each Negotiated Rate Loan borrowed by such Borrower from the applicable Borrowing Date to the stated maturity date thereof, in the case of a Bid Loan, at the rate of interest determined pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection 2.2, and, in the case of a Negotiated Rate Loan, as agreed by such Borrower and the relevant Bank (calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for actual days elapsed), payable on the interest payment date or dates (i) specified by such Borrower for such Bid Loan in the related Bid Loan Request and (ii) mutually agreed upon between such Borrower and such Bank in the case of Negotiated Rate Loans, provided that as to any Bid Loan in respect of which the stated maturity date is more than three months after such Borrowing Date, interest shall also be paid on the day which occurs three months after such Borrowing Date. If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Bid Loan shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue principal amount shall, without limiting any rights of any Bank under this Agreement, bear interest from the date on which such payment was due at a rate per annum which is 1% above the rate which would otherwise be applicable to such Bid Loan until the scheduled maturity date with respect thereto and for each day thereafter at a rate per annum which is 1% above the ABR until paid in full (as well after as before judgment). If all or any portion of the principal amount of any Negotiated Rate Loan shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue principal amount shall, without limiting any rights of any Bank under this Agreement, bear interest from the date on which such payment was due at a rate per annum as shall be mutually agreed upon between the relevant Borrower and the relevant Bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s obligation to pay the interest accrued on its Bid Loans and Negotiated Rate Loans is a several obligation.

(f)After the first Bid Loan Request has been given hereunder, no Bid Loan Request or Negotiated Rate Loan Request shall be given until at least one Business Day, in the case of an Absolute Rate Bid Loan Request, or one Working Day, in the case of an Index Rate Bid Loan Request, after the earliest to occur of (i) the Borrowing Dates with respect to all prior Bid Loan Requests made pursuant to subsection 2.2(b)(i), (ii) the date on which all Bid Loan Banks have failed to submit Bid Loan Offers with respect to any Bid Loan Requests within the time specified in subsection 2.2(b)(ii) or (iii), as the case may be, and (iii) the date on which the relevant Borrower has cancelled all prior Bid Loan Requests pursuant to subsection 2.2(b)(iv).

2.3 Loan Accounts. Each Bank, with respect to its Committed Rate Loans, Bid Loans and Negotiated Rate Loans, and the Administrative Agent, with respect to all Committed Rate Loans, Negotiated Rate Loans and Bid Loans, shall open and maintain in the name of each Borrower loan accounts (as to each Bank, its “Loan Account” applicable to such Borrower) on its books and records setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable by such Borrower from time to time hereunder in respect of such Loans, and the obligation of such Borrower to pay or repay, as the case may be, such amounts to such Bank shall be evidenced by such Bank’s Loan Account. In case of any dispute, action or proceeding relating to any Committed Rate Loan, Bid Loan or Negotiated Rate Loan, the entries in such records shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information set forth therein. In case of discrepancy between the entries in the Administrative Agent’s books and records and any Bank’s, the entries in the Administrative Agent’s books and records shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information set forth therein.

2.4 Fees. (a) The Company and the Capital Corporation jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a commitment fee from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which the Commitment of such Bank terminates hereunder, computed at a per annum rate equal to the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Commitment of such Bank in effect during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October of each year and on the Termination Date or such earlier date on which the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing in July, 2021.

2.5 Termination or Reduction of Commitments; Cancellation of Capital Corporation or JD Luxembourg as Borrower. (a) The Borrowers, acting jointly, shall have the right, upon not less than five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, reduce the amount of the Commitments, provided that (i) any such reduction shall be accompanied by prepayment of Committed Rate Loans hereunder, together with accrued interest on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment, to the extent, if any, that the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans exceeds the amount of the Commitments as then reduced and (ii) any such termination of the Commitments shall be accompanied by prepayment in full of the Loans then outstanding hereunder in accordance with subsection 2.6 together with accrued fees and interest thereon and any termination of a Bank’s Commitment pursuant to subsection 2.13, 2.16 or 2.17 shall, with respect to each affected Loan, on the last day of the applicable Interest Period therefor or, if earlier, on such earlier date as shall be notified by the Borrowers, be accompanied by prepayment in full of such Loan, together with, in each case, accrued interest thereon to the date of such prepayment, the payment of any unpaid commitment fee then accrued hereunder, and the payment of any amounts then payable pursuant to subsections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 2.17. Upon receipt of such notice from the Borrowers the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof. Any reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this subsection 2.5 shall be in an amount not less than $25,000,000, and shall be an amount

which is a whole multiple of $5,000,000, and shall reduce permanently the amount of the Commitments then in effect.

(b)The Company may cancel the ability of the Capital Corporation to borrow hereunder upon not less than five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of such notice from the Company, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof. On the first day following receipt of such notice, on which all Loans to the Capital Corporation and all interest thereon shall have been paid in full, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) the Capital Corporation shall cease to be a party hereto or to have any right or obligation hereunder, (ii) rights and obligations expressed herein to be, in effect, of the Company, the Capital Corporation or JD Luxembourg, each of them or of any of them together with the Capital Corporation, but not any such rights and obligations expressed herein to be of the Capital Corporation only, shall be deemed to be rights and obligations of the Company only and (iii) the Banks shall cease to have any right or obligation hereunder which depends or is contingent upon any action, condition or performance, or the absence thereof, whether past or present, of the Capital Corporation other than any action, condition or performance, or the absence thereof, of the Capital Corporation in its capacity as a Subsidiary, Significant Subsidiary or Restricted Subsidiary hereunder; provided, however, that the obligation of the Capital Corporation to make any payment pursuant to subsection 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 or 2.17 which arises prior to the cancellation of the ability of the Capital Corporation to borrow hereunder shall survive the cancellation of the ability of the Capital Corporation to borrow hereunder; provided further that any cancellation of the ability of the Capital Corporation to borrow hereunder shall be accompanied by the cancellation of the ability of JD Luxembourg to borrow hereunder pursuant to clause (c) below.

(c)The Company may cancel the ability of JD Luxembourg to borrow hereunder upon not less than five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent.

2.6 Prepayments. (a) Each Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay its Committed Rate Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, but subject to the provisions of subsection 2.14, upon at least three Working Days’ irrevocable notice (by 11:00 A.M. Local Time), in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, or same day irrevocable notice in the case of ABR Loans, in each case to the Administrative Agent, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of its Eurocurrency Loans, ABR Loans, or a combination thereof, and if of a combination thereof, the amount of prepayment allocable to each. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof. If such notice is given, the Borrower delivering such notice shall make such prepayment, and the payment of the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid and any amounts

payable pursuant to subsections 2.14 and 2.15. Except as provided in the immediately following sentence, partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof (or comparable amounts reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in the case of Foreign Currency Loans); provided, however, that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Committed Rate Loans made on the same Borrowing Date shall not be less than $25,000,000 (or comparable amounts reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in the case of Foreign Currency Loans). Anything contained in this subsection 2.6 to the contrary notwithstanding, partial prepayments of a Cancelled Bank’s Loans in connection with the termination under subsection 2.13(a), (b) or (c), 2.16(c) or 2.17(b), or upon a Defaulting Bank becoming a Cancelled Bank, of such Cancelled Bank’s Commitment (in whole or in part) shall be in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Loans of such Bank being prepaid, notwithstanding the amount thereof, and shall be permitted notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing proviso. The Company and the Capital Corporation may prepay Negotiated Rate Loans or Bid Loans on such terms as shall be mutually agreed upon between the relevant Borrower and the relevant Bank.

(b) If, on any Calculation Date, the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date exceed the Total Commitments, on such date, the Borrowers shall, without notice or demand, within five Business Days (i) repay Loans in an aggregate principal amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding shall be equal to or less than the Total Commitments and (ii) pay interest and fees accrued to the date of such payment, prepayment or reduction on the principal so prepaid or reduced and any amounts payable under subsection 2.14 in connection therewith.

2.7 Minimum Amount of Certain Loans. All borrowings, conversions, continuations, payments and, except as set forth in the penultimate sentence of subsection 2.6, prepayments in respect of Committed Rate Loans shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections that, after giving effect thereto, (a) the aggregate principal amount of Committed Rate Loans made on any Borrowing Date shall not be less than $25,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or comparable amounts reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in the case of Foreign Currency Loans) and (b) the aggregate principal amount of Committed Rate Loans of any Type with the same Interest Period shall not be less than $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or comparable amounts reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in the case of Foreign Currency Loans).

2.8 Committed Rate Loan Interest Rate and Payment Dates. (a) The Eurocurrency Loans shall bear interest for the period from the date thereof until the stated maturity thereof on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for the Interest Period therefor plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)The ABR Loans shall bear interest for each day during the period from the date thereof until the payment in full thereof on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the ABR for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(c)If all or a portion of the principal amount of any of the Committed Rate Loans shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) such overdue principal amount of such Committed Rate Loan (i) shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is 1% above the rate which would otherwise be applicable pursuant to subsection 2.8(a) or (b) as the case may be, from the date when such principal amount is due until the date on which such amount is paid in full and (ii) shall, if such Committed Rate Loan is a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars, be converted to an ABR Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(d)Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.

2.9 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The relevant Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Committed Rate Loans denominated in Dollars of one Type into Committed Rate Loans denominated in Dollars of another Type by giving to the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such conversion by the earliest time that they would have been required to give notice under subsection 2.1(c) if they had been borrowing Committed Rate Loans of each such Type on the conversion date specified in such notice, provided that any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Any such notice of conversion to Eurocurrency Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof. All or any part of outstanding Eurocurrency Loans and ABR Loans denominated in Dollars may be converted as provided herein, provided that no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan after the date that is one month prior to (i) in the case of a Loan made by an Objecting Bank, such Objecting Bank’s Commitment Expiration Date, and (ii) in the case of all Loans, the Termination Date.

(b)Any Eurocurrency Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the relevant Borrower giving notice to the Administrative Agent or the Foreign Currency Agent, as the case may be, such notice to be given by the time it would have been required to give notice under subsection 2.1(c) if it had been borrowing Eurocurrency Loans on the last day of the then expiring Interest Period therefor, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars may be continued as such after the date that is one month prior to (i) in the case of a Loan made by an Objecting Bank, such Objecting Bank’s Commitment Expiration Date, and (ii) in the case of all Loans, the Termination Date. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent or the Foreign Currency Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly notify each Bank thereof.

2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Commitment fees and interest in respect of ABR Loans based upon clause (a) of the definition of ABR shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366- as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed (including the first day and excluding the last day). Interest in respect of Eurocurrency Loans, Bid Loans and ABR Loans based upon clause (b) or (c) of the definition of ABR shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed (including the first day and excluding the last day), provided, that interest in respect of Foreign Currency Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366- as the case may be) day year for actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Banks of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Committed Rate Loan resulting from a change in ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in ABR shall become effective. The Administrative Agent or the Foreign Currency Agent, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Banks of the effective date and the amount of each such change.

(b)Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent or the Foreign Currency Agent, as applicable, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Banks in the absence of manifest error.

2.11 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. (a) With respect to any Eurocurrency Loan denominated in any Currency that is then outstanding, or that has been requested to be borrowed, in the event that the Administrative Agent or the Foreign Currency Agent, as applicable, shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that (i) by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank market for the applicable Currency generally, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Screen Rate for such Currency for any requested Interest Period with respect to Committed Rate Loans that a Borrower has requested be made as, continued as or converted into Eurocurrency Loans; provided that this clause (i) shall not apply to a Loan

denominated in any Currency to the extent that a Benchmark Transition Event in respect of such Currency shall have occurred at such time or (ii) that deposits in the applicable Currency are not generally available, or cannot be obtained by the Banks, in the applicable market (any Foreign Currency affected by the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) is referred to as an “Affected Foreign Currency”), the Administrative Agent or the Foreign Currency Agent, as applicable, shall promptly give notice of such determination to such Borrower and the Banks prior to the first day of the requested Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loans. If such notice is given, such Borrower may (A) in accordance with the provisions of subsection 2.1 or 2.9, as the case may be (including any requirements for notification), request that the affected Loans denominated in Dollars be made as, continued as or converted into, as the case may be, ABR Loans, (B) request that any outstanding Foreign Currency Loans in an Affected Foreign Currency be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Dollar Loans at the applicable Exchange Rate or (C) in the case of Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period, withdraw the notice given under subsection 2.1 or 2.9, as the case may be, by giving telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent or the Foreign Currency Agent, as applicable, no later than 10:00 A.M. (Local Time) one Business Day prior to the applicable Borrowing Date, confirmed in writing no later than one Business Day after such telephonic notice is given; provided that if the Administrative Agent or the Foreign Currency Agent, as applicable, does not receive any notice permitted from the relevant Borrower hereunder, such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that the affected Loans be made as, continued as or converted into, as the case may be, ABR Loans or, in the case of Foreign Currency Loans, shall be deemed to have requested that the affected Loans be made as, continued as or converted into, as the case may be, Dollar Loans which are (1) ABR Loans (in the case of clause (i) above) or (2) Eurocurrency Loans (in the case of clause (ii) above). Until the notice given pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent or the Foreign Currency Agent, as applicable, no further Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars (in the case of clause (i) above) or in an Affected Foreign Currency shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark with respect to a Loan denominated in any Currency, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement for a Loan denominated in such Currency is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for a Loan denominated in such Currency for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement for a Loan denominated in such Currency is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Banks without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Banks comprising the Majority Banks.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, solely with respect to a Loan denominated in Dollars, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan

Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Banks and the Company a Term SOFR Notice.

(d) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Company, will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(e) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Banks of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Bank (or group of Banks) pursuant to this subsection 2.11, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this subsection 2.11.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or Eurocurrency Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent shall modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(g) Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Relevant Rate applicable to any Eurocurrency Loan, and during the continuance thereof (in each case below, to the extent such Benchmark Unavailability Period is in respect of the Relevant Rate applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan), (i) a Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurocurrency Loan to be made during such Benchmark Unavailability Period, and, failing that, the applicable Borrower will be deemed to have converted such request for a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars into a request for an ABR Loan and (ii) any request for a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be ineffective. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any Eurocurrency Loan in any Currency is outstanding on

the date of the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Relevant Rate applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan, then (i) if such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in Dollars, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars on such day or (ii) if such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in any Foreign Currency, such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), at the applicable Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the applicable Borrower on such day or (B) be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such Eurocurrency Loan on such day (it being understood and agreed that if the applicable Borrower does not so prepay such Loan on such day by 12:00 noon, Local Time, the Administrative Agent is authorized to effect such conversion of such Eurocurrency Loan into an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars)); provided that, in the case of this subclause (B), upon any subsequent implementation of a Benchmark Replacement in respect of such Foreign Currency pursuant to this subsection 2.11, such ABR Loan denominated in Dollars shall then be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in the original Foreign Currency applicable to such Loan (in an amount equal to the Foreign Currency Equivalent of the amount of such ABR Loan) on the day of, and after giving effect to, such implementation.

2.12 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without defense, set-off or counterclaim and shall be made, in the case of fees and principal of, and interest on, Loans (other than Negotiated Rate Loans) at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in subsection 10.2, in each case in the relevant Currency in which the Loan was made and in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 A.M. (Local Time) on the date due. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Banks entitled thereto on the day of receipt in like funds as received, provided that the Administrative Agent shall have received such payments not later than 11:00 A.M. (Local Time). If the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Banks entitled thereto on a date after the date on which such payments were received prior to 11:00 A.M. (Local Time), the Administrative Agent shall pay to each such Bank on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average applicable Overnight Rate, times (ii) the amount of such Bank’s share of such payment, times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such date of receipt of payment by the Administrative Agent to but excluding the date on which such Bank’s share of such payment shall have become immediately available to such Bank and the denominator of which is 360. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers on account of principal, interest and fees relating to Negotiated Rate Loans shall be made to the Bank with respect thereto on such terms, at such address and at such time as shall be mutually agreed upon between the relevant Borrower and the relevant Bank in lawful money of the United States of America on the date due.

(b)(i) Each borrowing by a Borrower of Committed Rate Loans and each payment of principal in respect of Committed Rate Loans (subject to the provisions of subsection 2.20(e)) shall be made in accordance with the following requirements:

(A)All borrowings of Committed Rate Loans and all principal payments in respect of such Loans, shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitments of the Banks.

(B)As provided in clause (b)(ii) below, if any principal payment is made in respect of any Loans (other than Negotiated Rate Loans) on any day on which principal amounts are due and owing in respect of any Loans (other than Negotiated Rate Loans), such principal payment

shall be applied to the Banks pro rata according to the respective amounts of principal due and owing to the Banks under this Agreement.

(ii)Except as provided in subsections 2.13, 2.16 and 2.17, each reduction of the Commitments shall be made pro rata among the Banks according to their respective Commitment Percentages. Each payment by the Borrowers under this Agreement or of any Loan (other than Negotiated Rate Loans) shall be applied, first, to any fees then due and owing pursuant to subsection 2.4, second, to interest then due and owing in respect of the Loans (other than Negotiated Rate Loans) and third, to principal then due and owing hereunder (other than principal due and owing under Negotiated Rate Loans) and under the Loans (other than Negotiated Rate Loans). Each payment made by the Company or the Capital Corporation under this Agreement relating to a Negotiated Rate Loan to the Bank with respect thereto shall be applied, first, to interest then due and owing in respect of such Negotiated Rate Loan and second, to principal then due and owing hereunder with respect to such Negotiated Rate Loan and under such Negotiated Rate Loan. Each payment (other than voluntary prepayments made when no principal payments are due and owing hereunder) by a Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans (other than Negotiated Rate Loans) shall be made for the account of each Bank pro rata according to the respective amounts of principal and interest due and owing to such Bank under this Agreement. Subject to the requirements of clause (i) of this paragraph (b), each payment by a Borrower on account of principal of the Loans (other than Negotiated Rate Loans) shall be applied, first, to such of its Committed Rate Loan borrowings as such Borrower may designate and, second, after all Committed Rate Loans shall have been paid in full, to all of its Absolute Rate Bid Loans or Index Rate Bid Loans made on the same Borrowing Date with the same Interest Period as such Borrower may designate, pro rata according to the respective amounts outstanding; provided, however, that prepayments made pursuant to subsection 2.13(a), (b) or (c), 2.16(c) or 2.17(b) shall be applied in accordance with such subsection.

(c)If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans and Index Rate Bid Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan or Index Rate Bid Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Working Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Working Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Working Day. With respect to any extension of the payment of principal pursuant to this subsection 2.12(c), interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(d)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Bank prior to the date of the Committed Rate Loan, Committed Rate Loans, Bid Loan or Bid Loans to be made by such Bank (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Bank will not make its pro rata share of the amount of the requested borrowing on such date available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount available to it on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. If a Bank shall make such amount available to the Administrative Agent on a date after such Borrowing Date, such Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average applicable Overnight Rate, times (ii) the amount of such Bank’s pro rata share of such borrowing, times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such Borrowing Date to but excluding the date on which such Bank’s pro rata share of such borrowing shall have become immediately available to the Administrative Agent and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 2.12(d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such Bank’s pro rata share is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Bank within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, on demand, from the relevant Borrower with interest thereon at the rate equal to the

product of (i) during the period from and including such Borrowing Date to the Business Day next following the date of such demand, the daily average applicable Overnight Rate, times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such Borrowing Date to but excluding the Business Day next following the date of such demand and the denominator of which is 360 and (ii) thereafter, the interest rate or rates applicable to the Loan or Loans funded by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Bank on such Borrowing Date, times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days which elapse from and including the Business Day next following the date of such demand to but excluding the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent from such Borrower and the denominator of which is 360. In the event any Bank’s pro rata share of a borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this paragraph within three Business Days of the applicable Borrowing Date (i) such Bank shall, during the period from such Borrowing Date to the date such Bank makes its pro rata share of the applicable borrowing available, not accrue and shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee under subsection 2.4 and (ii) each Borrower may exercise or pursue any other rights, remedies, powers and privileges against such Bank as are provided by law or by contract.

2.13 Requirements of Law. (a) If any Bank shall determine that by reason of (i) the introduction after the date hereof of any applicable law, regulation or guideline or any change after the date hereof in any applicable law, regulation or guideline (including the phasing-in of a provision of any applicable law, regulation or guideline) or in the interpretation thereof by any governmental or other regulatory authority charged with the administration thereof or any court of competent jurisdiction and/or (ii) compliance by such Bank with any requirement adopted after the date hereof or directive adopted after the date hereof from any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other regulatory authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost of such Bank of maintaining or giving effect to its obligations with respect to Committed Rate Loans under this Agreement or maintaining its Commitment with respect to Committed Rate Loans or making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loans or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Bank in respect of Eurocurrency Loans under this Agreement, notwithstanding the reasonable efforts (such reasonable efforts not to result in the incurrence of additional costs or expenses) of such Bank to mitigate such increase or reduction (excluding for purposes of this subsection 2.13 any such increased costs resulting from (x) Indemnified Taxes (as to which subsection 2.17 shall govern), (y) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Bank is organized or has its applicable lending office or any political subdivision thereof and (z) FATCA), then the relevant Borrower shall from time to time on receipt (whenever occurring) of a certificate from such Bank (which shall be executed by an officer thereof and a copy of which shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent) pay to such Bank such amounts as are stated therein to be required to indemnify such Bank against such increased costs or reduction; provided, however, that if such Borrower becomes obligated to pay any Bank any additional amount pursuant to this subsection 2.13(a), such Borrower shall have the right, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, upon giving notice to the Administrative Agent and such Bank in accordance with subsection 2.6, to prepay in full the Loans of such Bank, together with accrued interest thereon, any amounts payable to such Bank pursuant to subsections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 2.17 and any accrued and unpaid commitment fee or other amount payable to such Bank hereunder and/or, upon giving not less than three Business Days’ notice to any such Bank and the Administrative Agent, to cancel the whole or part of the Commitment of any such Bank; provided, further, that such Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any Bank any additional amount pursuant to this subsection 2.13(a) (A) which constitutes a present or future income, stamp or other tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding referred to in subsection 2.17(a) or (B) as a result of any law, rule, guideline, regulation, request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity referred to in subsection 2.13(b). A certificate of such Bank as to the amount of such increased costs or reduction shall set forth in reasonable detail the computation of such increased costs or reduction, and shall be binding and conclusive in the absence of

manifest error. A Bank which demands indemnification hereunder as a result of an increased cost or reduction referred to herein shall deliver the certificate referred to above to the relevant Borrower demanding indemnification no later than the later of (y) the thirtieth day immediately following each payment or realization by such Bank of such increased cost or reduction (and such certificate shall certify that the amounts set forth therein were paid or realized within such thirty-day period) and (z) the thirtieth day immediately following such Bank’s knowledge of the incurrence or realization by such Bank of such increased cost or reduction (and such certificate shall so certify).

(b)In the event that any Bank shall have determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any law, rule, guideline or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or any change after the date hereof in any existing or future law, rule, guideline or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (excluding, however, the phasing-in of any existing law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy or liquidity) or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank with any request or directive made or adopted after the date hereof regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or Governmental Authority, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 30 days after receipt (whenever occurring) of a certificate from such Bank (which shall be executed by an officer thereof and a copy of which shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent), the Company and the Capital Corporation jointly and severally agree to pay to such Bank such additional amounts as are stated therein to be required to compensate it for such reduction; provided, however, that if such Borrower becomes obligated to pay any Bank any additional amount pursuant to this subsection 2.13(b), such Borrower shall have the right, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, upon giving notice to the Administrative Agent and such Bank in accordance with subsection 2.6, to prepay in full the Loans of such Bank, together with accrued interest thereon, any amounts payable pursuant to subsections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 2.17 and any accrued and unpaid commitment fee or other amounts payable to it hereunder and/or, upon giving not less than three Business Days’ notice to any such Bank and the Administrative Agent, to cancel the whole or part of the Commitment of any such Bank (but only if after giving effect to such cancellation and prepayment the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans does not exceed the Total Commitments). A certificate of such Bank as to the amount of such reduction shall set forth in reasonable detail the computation of such reduction, and shall be binding and conclusive in the absence of manifest error. A Bank which demands indemnification hereunder as a result of a reduction referred to herein shall deliver the certificate referred to above to the relevant Borrower demanding indemnification no later than the later of (i) the thirtieth day immediately following each realization by such Bank of such reduction (and such certificate shall certify that the amounts set forth therein were realized within such thirty-day period) and (ii) the thirtieth day immediately following such Bank’s knowledge of the realization by such Bank of such reduction (and such certificate shall so certify).

(c)Each Borrower shall pay to each Bank that delivers a certificate to such Borrower in accordance with this subsection (c) such amounts as shall be necessary to reimburse such Bank for the costs (determined in accordance with the immediately following sentence), if any, incurred by such Bank, as a result of the application to such Bank during any period on which there are outstanding Eurocurrency Loans advanced by such Bank to such Borrower of basic, supplemental, marginal and emergency reserves under any regulations of the Board or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto dealing with reserve requirements prescribed for eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D of such Board) maintained by a member bank of such system (any such reserves dealing with reserve requirements prescribed for eurocurrency funding being referred

to as “Reserves”), such amount to be set forth in a certificate of such Bank delivered to the relevant Borrower; provided, however, that if a Bank gives to a Borrower the written notice contemplated by the proviso set forth in the second following sentence, such Borrower shall have the right, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, upon giving notice to the Administrative Agent and such Bank in accordance with subsection 2.6, to prepay in full the Loans of such Bank, together with accrued interest thereon, any amounts payable pursuant to subsections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 2.17 and any accrued and unpaid commitment fee or other amounts payable to it hereunder and/or upon giving not less than three Working Days’ notice to such Bank and the Administrative Agent, to cancel the whole or part of the Commitment of any such Bank. Amounts certified by a Bank hereunder for any period shall represent such Bank’s calculation or, if an accurate calculation is impracticable, reasonable estimate (using such reasonable means of allocation as such Bank shall determine) of the actual costs, if any, theretofore incurred by such Bank as a result of the application of Reserves to Eurocurrency liabilities (as referred to in Regulation D referred to above) of such Bank in an amount equal to such Bank’s Eurocurrency Loans during such period and in any event shall not exceed the amount obtainable utilizing the maximum Reserves prescribed by the Board or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto for such period. Such payment shall be made within fifteen days after receipt by the relevant Borrower of a certificate, signed by an officer of the Bank delivering such certificate, which certificate shall be binding and conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error, specifying the period (prior to the date of such certificate) during which the cost set forth therein was incurred by such Bank and stating (i) that such amount represents the actual cost, or, if an accurate calculation of such cost is impracticable stating that such amount represents such Bank’s reasonable estimate of the actual cost, incurred by such Bank during such period as a result of the application of Reserves to Eurocurrency liabilities of such Bank in an amount equal to such Bank’s Eurocurrency Loans during such period and specified in such certificate and (ii) that the amount set forth therein does not in any event exceed the amount obtainable utilizing the maximum Reserves prescribed for such period by the Board or such other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto; provided that the obligation of the Borrowers to pay any amounts pursuant to this subsection 2.13(c) shall apply only in the case of those Banks that give to the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent, no later than 3:00 P.M. (Local Time) on the day that is two Working Days prior to the applicable Borrowing Date therefor, a written notice stating that such Bank intends to demand reimbursement pursuant hereto. A Bank which demands reimbursement of Reserve costs hereunder on account of a Eurocurrency Loan made by such Bank shall deliver the certificate referred to in the preceding sentence to the relevant Borrower setting forth the items specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence no later than the thirtieth day immediately following the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan.

(d)If any Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction of any Foreign Currency (or any other jurisdiction in which the funding operations of any Bank shall be conducted with respect to such Foreign Currency) shall put into effect after the date hereof any reserve, liquid asset or similar requirement with respect to any category of deposits or liabilities customarily used to fund loans in such Foreign Currency (excluding any Reserves), or by reference to which interest rates applicable to loans in such Foreign Currency are determined, and the result of such requirement shall be to increase the cost to such Bank of making or maintaining any Foreign Currency Loan in such Foreign Currency, and such Bank shall deliver to the Borrowers a notice requesting compensation under this paragraph, then the Borrower will pay to such Bank on each Interest Payment Date with respect to each affected Foreign Currency Loan an amount that will compensate such Bank for such additional cost; provided, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Banks notifies the Borrowers of such Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such three-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Bank gives to a Borrower the written notice contemplated by the proviso set forth in the following sentence, such Borrower shall have the right,

so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, upon giving notice to the Administrative Agent and such Bank in accordance with subsection 2.6, to prepay in full the Loans of such Bank, together with accrued interest thereon, any amounts payable pursuant to subsections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 2.17 and any accrued and unpaid commitment fee or other amounts payable to it hereunder and/or upon giving not less than three Working Days’ notice to such Bank and the Administrative Agent, to cancel the whole or part of the Commitment of any such Bank. Such payment shall be made within fifteen days after receipt by the relevant Borrower of a certificate, signed by an officer of the Bank delivering such certificate, which certificate shall be binding and conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error, specifying the period (prior to the date of such certificate) during which the cost set forth therein was incurred by such Bank and stating (i) that such amount represents the actual cost, or, if an accurate calculation of such cost is impracticable stating that such amount represents such Bank’s reasonable estimate of the actual cost, incurred by such Bank during such period as a result of the application of such reserve, liquid asset or similar requirements in an amount equal to such Bank’s Foreign Currency Loans during such period and specified in such certificate and (ii) that the amount set forth therein does not in any event exceed the amount obtainable utilizing such reserves prescribed for such period by such Governmental Authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto; provided that the obligation of the Borrowers to pay any amounts pursuant to this subsection 2.13(d) shall apply only in the case of those Banks that give to the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent, no later than 3:00 P.M. (Local Time) on the day that is two Working Days prior to the applicable Borrowing Date therefor, a written notice stating that such Bank intends to demand reimbursement pursuant hereto. A Bank which demands reimbursement of reserve costs hereunder on account of a Foreign Currency Loan made by such Bank shall deliver the certificate referred to in the preceding sentence to the relevant Borrower setting forth the items specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence no later than the thirtieth day immediately following the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Foreign Currency Loan.

(e)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if (A) the adoption of any law, rule or regulation after the date of this Agreement, (B) any change in any law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority after the date of this Agreement or (C) compliance by any Bank with any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority made or issued after the date of this Agreement, shall make it unlawful for any such Bank to make or maintain any Foreign Currency Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Foreign Currency Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent:

(i)such Bank or Banks may declare that Foreign Currency Loans (in the affected Currency or Currencies) will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Bank or Banks hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods), whereupon any request for a Foreign Currency Loan (in the affected Currency or Currencies) or to continue a Foreign Currency Loan (in the affected Currency or Currencies, as the case may be, for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Bank or Banks only, be of no force and effect, unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii)such Bank may require that all outstanding Foreign Currency Loans (in the affected Currency or Currencies), made by it be converted to ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, as the case may be (unless repaid by the Borrowers), in which event all such Foreign Currency Loans (in the affected Currency or Currencies) shall be converted to ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, as the case may be, as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (f) below and at the Exchange Rate on the date of such conversion or, at the option of the Borrower, repaid on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto or, if earlier, the date on which the applicable notice becomes effective.

In the event any Bank shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the converted Foreign Currency Loans of such Bank shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans or Loans denominated in Dollars, as the case may be, made by such Bank resulting from such conversion.

(f)For purposes of subsection 2.13(e), a notice to a Borrower by any Bank shall be effective as to each Foreign Currency Loan made by such Bank, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Foreign Currency Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt thereof by such Borrower.

(g)The obligations of the parties under this subsection 2.13 shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans.

(h)For purposes of this subsection 2.13, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall be deemed to have been introduced and adopted after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Bank shall be entitled to seek compensation for costs imposed pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or Basel III if it shall not be the general policy of such Bank at such time to seek compensation from other investment grade borrowers with the same or similar ratings under yield protection provisions in credit agreements with such borrowers that provide for such compensation and the applicable Bank is in fact generally seeking such compensation from such borrowers (and, upon any request by such Bank for payment, certifies to the Borrower to the effect of the foregoing).

2.14 Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and to hold each Bank harmless from any loss or expense which such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or interest on any Loan by such Bank, including, but not limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Bank to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Loans hereunder, (b) default by such Borrower in making a borrowing, conversion or continuance after such Borrower has given a notice in accordance with subsection 2.1, 2.2 or 2.9, (c) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment after such Borrower has given a notice in accordance with subsection 2.5 or 2.6 or (d) the making by such Borrower of a prepayment of a Committed Rate Loan (other than an ABR Loan), a Bid Loan or, to the extent agreed to by the relevant Borrower and the relevant Bank with respect to a Negotiated Rate Loan, a Negotiated Rate Loan on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto (with respect to Committed Rate Loans) or the maturity date therefor (with respect to Bid Loans) or any agreed date (with respect to Negotiated Rate Loans), including, but not limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Bank to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Loans hereunder. This covenant shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the outstanding Loans. A certificate as to any amount payable pursuant to the foregoing shall be submitted by such Bank (and executed by an officer thereof) to the relevant Borrower, setting forth the computation of such amounts in reasonable detail, and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

2.15 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. With respect to all Loans except Negotiated Rate Loans, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by the relevant Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due from it hereunder (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Borrower does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment when due, and the Administrative Agent

may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to each Bank on such payment date an amount equal to the portion of such assumed payment to which such Bank is entitled hereunder, and if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to such Bank together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to such Bank and ending on (but excluding) the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to the relevant Bank with respect to any amount owing under this subsection 2.15 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.16 Extension of Termination Date. (a) No later than 30 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such request is submitted, the Borrowers may request an extension of such Termination Date by submitting to the Administrative Agent an Extension Request containing the information in respect of such extension specified in Exhibit I, which the Administrative Agent shall promptly furnish to each Bank. If, within 30 days of their receipt of an Extension Request, the Majority Banks shall approve in writing the extension of the Termination Date requested in such Extension Request, the Termination Date shall automatically and without any further action by any Person be extended for the period specified in such Extension Request; provided that (i) each extension pursuant to this subsection 2.16 shall be for a maximum of 364 days and (ii) the Commitment of any Bank which does not consent in writing to such extension within 30 days of its receipt of such Extension Request (an “Objecting Bank”) shall, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement, expire on the Termination Date in effect on the date of such Extension Request (such Termination Date, if any, referred to as the “Commitment Expiration Date” with respect to such Objecting Bank). If, within 30 days of their receipt of an Extension Request, the Majority Banks shall not approve in writing the extension of the Termination Date requested in an Extension Request, the Termination Date shall not be extended pursuant to such Extension Request. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify (y) the Banks and the Borrowers of any extension of the Termination Date pursuant to this subsection 2.16 and (z) the Borrowers and any other Bank of any Bank which becomes an Objecting Bank. No Bank has an obligation to extend its Commitment pursuant to this subsection 2.16 except in its sole discretion.

(b)Any Objecting Bank the Commitment of which shall expire prior to any extended Termination Date shall, subject to subsection 2.16(c), have its Committed Rate Loans repaid in full by the applicable Borrower(s) on such expiration date, together with accrued interest thereon, and shall have any accrued and unpaid commitment fee or other amount payable to it hereunder paid on the first date to occur following such expiration date on which the fees referred to in subsection 2.4(a) or other amounts are payable to the non-Objecting Banks or, if such fees or other amounts shall be so payable on such expiration date, such unpaid commitment fee and other amount shall be paid on such expiration date.

(c)The Borrowers shall have the right, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, upon giving notice to the Administrative Agent and the Objecting Banks in accordance with subsection 2.6, to prepay in full the Committed Rate Loans of the Objecting Banks, together with accrued interest thereon, any amounts payable pursuant to subsections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 2.17 and any accrued and unpaid commitment fee or other amounts payable to it hereunder and/or, upon giving not less than three Working Days’ notice to the Objecting Banks and the Administrative Agent, to cancel the whole or part of the Commitments of the Objecting Banks (but only if after giving effect to such cancellation or prepayment the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans does not exceed the Total Commitments), provided that during the period from the Closing Date through March 29, 2022, and, commencing on March 30, 2022, during each one-year period thereafter to and including the Termination Date (each, a “Deal Year”), the aggregate Commitments of Banks which are terminated pursuant to this subsection 2.16(c) and are not replaced during such Deal Year pursuant to subsection 2.19

shall not exceed 33-1/3% of the aggregate Commitments in effect on the first day of such Deal Year of Banks which were not Objecting Banks on such first day.

2.17 Indemnified Taxes. (a) Except as required by applicable law, all payments made under this Agreement shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, restriction or condition and free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings of any nature whatsoever, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any governmental or other regulatory authority charged with the administration thereof with respect to any amount that is paid under this Agreement excluding, in the case of each Bank, (i) income and franchise taxes (including, without limitation, branch taxes) imposed by the United States or similar taxes imposed by a political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (ii) in the case of any Foreign Bank, any taxes imposed by the United States by means of withholding at the source unless such Bank has provided the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the documents it is required to provide to them under subsection 2.17(c) or such tax is imposed by reason of a change in United States law (other than FATCA described in clause (vi)) after the date the Bank becomes a party to this Agreement, (iii) taxes that would not have been imposed on such Bank but for the existence of a connection between such Bank and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than a connection arising principally by virtue of such Bank having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced this Agreement), (iv) taxes that are attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the requirements of subsection 2.17(c), subsection 2.17(d) or subsection 2.17(f), (v) any taxes imposed upon a Non-Qualifying Bank (as defined in subsection 2.17(e)) pursuant to the Luxembourg laws of 21 June, 2005 implementing the European Union Savings Directive (Council Directive 2003/48/EC) and several agreements concluded with certain dependent or associated territories, providing for the possible application of a withholding tax, as in effect as of the date hereof, other than any taxes which can be avoided pursuant to an exchange of information and for which such information is available to the Borrower, and (vi) any withholding imposed pursuant to FATCA (such non-excluded taxes being called “Indemnified Taxes”). If any Indemnified Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or any Bank hereunder, as determined in good faith by the applicable Withholding Agent, (i) such amounts shall be paid to the relevant Government Authority in accordance with applicable law and (ii) the amounts so payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Bank (after payment of all Indemnified Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement as if such withholding or deduction had not been made. Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by any Borrower, as the case may be, as promptly as possible thereafter such Borrower, as the case may be, shall send to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, or for the account of the affected Bank, a certified copy of the original official receipt, if any, or other documentary evidence received by such Borrower showing payment thereof. If (i) such Borrower fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, (ii) such Borrower fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, or (iii) as a result of a failure listed in (i) directly above, any Indemnified Taxes are imposed directly upon the Administrative Agent or any Bank, such Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, for any Indemnified Taxes and interest or penalties with respect thereto that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or such Banks, as the case may be, as a result of any such failure, in the case of (i) or (ii), or any such direct imposition, in the case of (iii).

(b)If a Borrower is required by this subsection 2.17 to make a payment to or in respect of any Bank, such Borrower shall have the right, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, upon giving notice to the Administrative Agent and such Bank in accordance with subsection 2.6, to prepay in full the Loans of such Bank, together with accrued interest thereon, any amounts payable pursuant to subsections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 2.17 and any accrued and unpaid commitment fee or other amounts payable to it hereunder and/or on giving not less than three Business Days’ notice to any such

Bank and the Administrative Agent, to cancel the whole or part of the Commitment of any such Bank (but only if after giving effect to such cancellation or prepayment the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans does not exceed the Total Commitments).

(c)At least two Business Days prior to the first Borrowing Date or, if such date does not occur within thirty days after the Closing Date, by the end of such thirty-day period, each Bank agrees (it being understood that the requirements of this sentence may be waived by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers acting together and in their sole discretion) that it will deliver to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent either (A) in the case of a Domestic Bank, two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or any successor form), (B) in the case of a Foreign Bank, two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (including, as applicable, a letter in duplicate in substantially the form of Exhibit J), Form W-8ECI (including, as applicable, a letter in duplicate in substantially the form as Exhibit K) or Form W-8IMY, as the case may be, (or any applicable successor forms) together with any applicable underlying IRS forms certifying in each case that such Bank is entitled to receive payment under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States Federal income taxes or (C) in the case of a Bank claiming exception under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a Certificate of Non-Bank Status (in substantially the form as the applicable Exhibit P) together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax; and, in addition to the forms documents and certifications described in clauses (A), (B) and (C), any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of United States Federal income tax law as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirement of Law to permit the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Each Bank (including, without limitation, each Transferee) agrees (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (it being understood that the requirements of this sentence may be waived by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers acting together and in their sole discretion)), to provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers a new letter or a new Certificate of Non-Bank Status, if applicable, and Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY, or successor applicable form or other manner of certification, (x) in the case of a Transferee, on or before the date it becomes party to this Agreement, (y) on or before the date that any such letter, form or document expires or becomes obsolete or promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent letter, form or document previously delivered by it, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States Federal income tax, and in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing exemption from United States backup withholding tax, and (z) promptly after the date the relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent reasonably requests any form of document referred to in this subsection 2.17(c); provided, however, that if a Bank is unable to provide a letter, form, certificate, successor or other document described in this sentence by reason of a change in the applicable law occurring after the date on which such letter, form, certificate, successor or other document originally was required to be provided by such Bank, then such Bank shall be required to comply with this sentence to the extent permitted under such applicable law, and the letter, form, certificate, successor or other document provided in accordance with this proviso (if any) shall certify that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement at the lowest rate of deduction, withholding or backup withholding to which it is entitled under such applicable law. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for obtaining such documentation from any Bank other than JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

(d)A Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably

requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Bank is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Bank’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank.

(e) Each Bank (including, without limitation, each Transferee) shall represent that (i) it is neither an individual resident in a Member State of the European Union or in certain of the territories dependent on or associated with certain Member States (i.e., Aruba, the British Virgin Islands, Curaçao, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Jersey, Montserrat and Sint Maarten), nor a person charged with collecting the payments derived from the Loans on behalf of such an individual and (ii) it is not an entity established in a Member State of the European Union or in one of the aforementioned territories dependent on or associated with certain Member States or, when it is such an entity, that (A) it is an entity with legal personality under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, organization or formation other than a Finnish Avoin Yhtiö or a Finnish Kommandiittiyhtiö or a Swedish Handelsbolag or a Swedish Kommanditbolag, (B) it is an entity which profits are taxed under the general rules for the taxation of enterprises applicable in the jurisdiction in which it is a resident or deemed to be a resident, (C) it is a UCITS (undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities) authorized under the EC Directive 85/611/EEC or (D) none of its members are individuals resident in a Member State of the European Union or the abovementioned territories dependent on or associated with certain Member States; provided, however, that any Bank that is or becomes unable to make such representation shall promptly deliver notice of such inability to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such Bank a “Non-Qualifying Bank”).

(f)If a payment made to a Bank under this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including, without limitation, those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including, without limitation, as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Bank has or has not complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g)To the extent that, as determined by the Administrative Agent, or any Bank in its sole discretion and without any obligation to disclose its tax records, Indemnified Taxes have been irrevocably utilized by the Administrative Agent, or such Bank (either as credits or deductions) to reduce its tax liabilities and such utilization is consistent with its overall tax policies, the Administrative Agent, or such Bank shall pay to the relevant Borrower, an amount equal to such reduction obtained to the extent of such increased amounts paid by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent, or such Bank as aforesaid; provided, that such Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, or such Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, or such Bank in the event such Governmental Authority determines that the Administrative Agent or such Bank was not entitled to such credit or deduction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the

indemnified party would have been in if the tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such tax had never been paid.

The obligations of the parties under this subsection 2.17 shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans.

2.18 Confirmations. The Administrative Agent shall, within 15 days following the last day of each calendar quarter (each such period being a “Report Period”), furnish to the Borrowers a written account with respect to all amounts outstanding under the Loan Accounts as at the last day of such Report Period, including an accounting setting forth, for such Report Period the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable hereunder. The Borrowers shall, within 15 days following receipt of such written account, notify the Administrative Agent of any discrepancies between such written account and the Borrowers’ records or, if no such discrepancies exist, furnish written confirmation to the Administrative Agent of the accuracy of such written account. Upon any Bank’s request, the Administrative Agent shall furnish to each Bank a copy of such written account together with the Borrowers’ response thereto.

2.19 Replacement of Cancelled Banks. The Borrowers may designate one or more financial institutions to act as a Bank hereunder in place of any Cancelled Bank, and upon the Borrowers, each such financial institution and the Administrative Agent executing a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit L, such financial institution shall become and be a Bank hereunder with all the rights and obligations it would have had if it had been named on the signature pages hereof, and having for all such financial institutions an aggregate Commitment no greater than the whole, or such cancelled part, of the Commitment of the Cancelled Bank in place of which such financial institutions were designated; provided, however, that all rights and obligations of such Cancelled Bank relating to the Loans made by such Cancelled Bank that are outstanding on the date of such cancellation shall be the rights and obligations of such Cancelled Bank and not of any such financial institution. The Administrative Agent shall execute any such writing presented to it and shall notify the Banks of the execution thereof, the name of the financial institution executing such writing and the amount of its Commitment.

2.20 Commitment Increases. (a) At any time after the Closing Date, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers may request an increase of the aggregate Commitments by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount (the “Offered Increase Amount”) of such proposed increase (such notice, a “Commitment Increase Notice”). Any such Commitment Increase Notice must offer each Bank the opportunity to subscribe for its pro rata share of the increased Commitments; provided, however, the Borrowers may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without offering to each Bank the opportunity to subscribe for its pro rata share of the increased Commitments, offer to any existing Bank or any bank or other financial institution that is not an existing Bank the opportunity to provide a new Commitment pursuant to paragraph (b) below if the aggregate amount of all Commitments made hereunder pursuant to this proviso which will be in effect when such new Commitment becomes effective does not exceed $500,000,000 subject to subsection 2.20(f). If any portion of the increased Commitments offered to the Banks as contemplated in the immediately preceding sentence is not subscribed for by the Banks, the Borrowers may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent as to any bank or financial institution that is not at such time a Bank (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), offer to any existing Bank or to one or more additional banks or financial institutions the opportunity to provide all or a portion of such unsubscribed portion of the increased Commitments pursuant to paragraph (b) below. No Bank has an obligation to increase its Commitment pursuant to this subsection 2.20 except in its sole discretion.

(b)Any additional bank or financial institution that the Borrowers select to offer the opportunity to provide any portion of the increased Commitments, and that elects to become a party to this Agreement and provide a Commitment, shall execute a New Bank Supplement with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit N (a “New Bank Supplement”), whereupon such bank or financial institution (a “New Bank”) shall become a Bank for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, and Schedule II shall be deemed to be amended to add the name and Commitment of such New Bank, provided that the Commitment of any such New Bank shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000.

(c)Any Bank that accepts an offer to it by the Borrowers to increase its Commitment pursuant to this subsection 2.20 shall, in each case, execute a Commitment Increase Supplement with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit O (a “Commitment Increase Supplement”), whereupon such Bank (an “Increasing Bank”) shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the full amount of its Commitment as so increased, and Schedule II shall be deemed to be amended to so increase the Commitment of such Bank.

(d)The effectiveness of any New Bank Supplement or Commitment Increase Supplement shall be contingent upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such corporate resolutions of the Borrowers and legal opinions of counsel to the Borrowers as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request with respect thereto.

(e)(i) Except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph (e), if any bank or financial institution becomes a New Bank pursuant to subsection 2.20(b) or any Bank’s Commitment is increased pursuant to subsection 2.20(c), additional Committed Rate Loans made on or after the date of the effectiveness thereof (the “Re-Allocation Date”) shall be made in accordance with the pro rata provisions of subsection 2.12(b) based on the Commitment Percentages in effect on and after such Re-Allocation Date (except to the extent that any such pro rata borrowings would result in any Bank making an aggregate principal amount of Committed Rate Loans in excess of its Commitment, in which case such excess amount will be allocated to, and made by, the relevant New Banks and Increasing Banks to the extent of, and in accordance with the pro rata provisions of subsection 2.12(b) based on, their respective Commitments). On each Re-Allocation Date, the Administrative Agent shall deliver such amended Schedule II and a notice to each Bank of the adjusted Commitment Percentages after giving effect to any increase in the aggregate Commitments made pursuant to this subsection 2.20 on such Re-Allocation Date.

(ii)In the event that on any such Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of ABR Loans, the applicable Borrower shall make prepayments thereof and one or both Borrowers shall make borrowings of ABR Loans and/or Eurocurrency Loans, as the applicable Borrower shall determine, so that, after giving effect thereto, the ABR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans outstanding are held as nearly as may be in accordance with the pro rata provisions of subsection 2.12(b) based on such new Commitment Percentages.

(iii)In the event that on any such Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of Eurocurrency Loans, such Eurocurrency Loans shall remain outstanding with the respective holders thereof until the expiration of their respective Interest Periods (unless the applicable Borrower elects to prepay any thereof in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement), and on the last day of the respective Interest Periods the applicable Borrower shall make prepayments thereof and one or both Borrowers shall make borrowings of ABR Loans and/or Eurocurrency Loans so that, after giving effect thereto, the ABR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans outstanding are held as nearly as may be in

accordance with the pro rata provisions of subsection 2.12(b) based on such new Commitment Percentages.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 2.20, (i) in no event shall any transaction effected pursuant to this subsection 2.20 cause the aggregate Commitments to exceed $3,500,000,000, (ii) the Commitment of an individual Bank shall not, as a result of providing a new Commitment or of increasing its existing Commitment pursuant to this subsection 2.20, exceed 15% of the aggregate Commitments on any Re-Allocation Date and (iii) no Bank shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.

(g)The Borrowers, at their own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Notes of any Bank, if any, new Notes to such Bank and its registered assigns, if requested, in an amount equal to the Commitment of such Bank after giving effect to any increase in such Bank’s Commitment.

2.21 [Reserved].

2.22[Reserved].

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

(b)fees shall cease to accrue on the Available Commitment of such Defaulting Bank pursuant to subsection 2.4(a);

(c)the Commitment and Loans of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in determining whether all Banks, the Majority Banks or the Required Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to subsection 10.1); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank which affects such Defaulting Bank differently than other affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Bank; and

(d)any amount payable to such Defaulting Bank hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to subsection 10.6 but excluding subsection 2.19) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Bank, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent, in the following order of priority: (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement and (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Bank in respect of any Loans under this Agreement.

The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Bank under this subsection 2.23 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrowers may have against such Defaulting Bank.

In the event and on the date that the Administrative Agent and the Company each agree that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Banks (other than Negotiated Rate Loans)

as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage and such Bank shall no longer be a Defaulting Bank; provided, that subject to subsection 10.15, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Bank arising from that Bank having become a Defaulting Bank, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Bank as a result of such Non-Defaulting Bank’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

2.24 Judgment Currency. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b)The obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this subsection 2.24 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

2.25 Foreign Currency Exchange Rate. (a) No later than 1:00 P.M., London time, on each Calculation Date with respect to a Foreign Currency, the Foreign Currency Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to such Foreign Currency (it being acknowledged and agreed that the Foreign Currency Agent shall use such Exchange Rate for the purposes of determining compliance with subsection 2.1 with respect to such borrowing request). The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the relevant Calculation Date, shall remain effective until the next succeeding Calculation Date and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than subsection 2.13(e) and subsection 2.24(a)) be the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between Dollars and Foreign Currencies.

(b)No later than 5:00 P.M., London time, on each Calculation Date, the Foreign Currency Agent shall determine the aggregate amount of the Dollar Equivalents of the principal amounts of the Foreign Currency Loans then outstanding (after giving effect to any Foreign Currency Loans to be made or repaid on such date).

(c)The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers of each determination of an Exchange Rate hereunder.

2.26 [Reserved].

2.27 Capital Corporation Guaranty. In order to induce the Banks to make Loans to JD Luxembourg, the Capital Corporation hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Banks and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment by JD Luxembourg when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Luxembourg Obligations.

The Capital Corporation waives promptness, diligence, presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to JD Luxembourg of any Luxembourg Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Capital Corporation hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and not be affected by (a) the failure of any Bank or the Administrative Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against JD Luxembourg under the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise; (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement; (c) the failure of any Bank to exercise any right or remedy against JD Luxembourg; (d) the invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement; or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to or discharge of JD Luxembourg (other than payment).

The Capital Corporation further agrees that its agreement hereunder constitutes a promise of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Bank to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Bank in favor of JD Luxembourg or any other Person.

The obligations of the Capital Corporation hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Luxembourg Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Capital Corporation hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification in respect of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Luxembourg Obligations, or by any other act or omission which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Capital Corporation or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Capital Corporation as a matter of law or equity.

The Capital Corporation further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Luxembourg Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any Bank upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of JD Luxembourg or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Administrative Agent or any Bank may have at law or in equity against the Capital Corporation by virtue hereof, upon the failure of JD Luxembourg to pay any Luxembourg Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Capital Corporation hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash the amount of such unpaid Luxembourg Obligation. In the event that, by reason of the bankruptcy of JD Luxembourg, (i) acceleration of Loans made to JD Luxembourg is prevented and (ii) the Capital Corporation shall not have prepaid the outstanding Loans and other amounts due hereunder owed by JD Luxembourg, the Capital Corporation will forthwith purchase such Loans at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon and any other amounts due hereunder with respect thereto. The Capital Corporation further agrees that if payment in respect of any Luxembourg Obligation shall be due in a currency other than Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York and if, by reason of any change in law, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or similar event, payment of such Luxembourg Obligation in such currency or such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the reasonable judgment of any applicable Bank, not consistent with the protection of its rights or interests, then, at the election of any

applicable Bank, the Capital Corporation shall make payment of such Luxembourg Obligation in Dollars (based upon the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on the date of payment) and/or in New York.

Notwithstanding any payment made by the Capital Corporation hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of the Capital Corporation by the Administrative Agent or any Bank, the Capital Corporation shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Bank against JD Luxembourg or any guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Bank for the payment of the Luxembourg Obligations, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Banks by JD Luxembourg on account of the Luxembourg Obligations are paid in full in cash. If any amount shall be paid to the Capital Corporation on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Luxembourg Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash, such amount shall be held by the Capital Corporation in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Banks, segregated from its other funds, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by it, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by it (duly indorsed by it to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Luxembourg Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.

SECTION 3.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and to each Bank that:

3.1 Financial Condition. The consolidated balance sheet of such Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of November 1, 2020 and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flow for the fiscal year then ended (including the related schedules and notes) reported on by Deloitte & Touche LLP, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Bank, fairly present the consolidated financial condition of such Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of their operations and changes in financial position for the fiscal year then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by such accountants or Responsible Officer, as the case may be, and as disclosed therein).

3.2 Corporate Existence. Such Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has the corporate power and authority to own its properties and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged.

3.3 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Such Borrower has the corporate power and authority and the legal right to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to borrow hereunder and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize its borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to authorize its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority, is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement other than any such consents, authorizations, filings or acts as have been obtained, taken or made and are in full force and effect. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Borrower, and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Borrower enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equity principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

3.4 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof, will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of such Borrower, and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any lien on any of its properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation.

3.5 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of such Borrower, threatened by or against such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues except actions, suits or proceedings which will not materially adversely affect the ability of such Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder. All of the defaults, if any, of such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any order of any Governmental Authority do not, and will not collectively, have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, property or financial condition of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

3.6 Taxes. Each of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which, to the knowledge of such Borrower, are required to be filed (except where the failure to file such tax returns would not have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, property or financial condition of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole), and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than assessments, taxes, fees and other charges the amount or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of such Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be).

3.7 Margin Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder will be used for any purpose which violates the provisions of Regulation U of the Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect.

3.8 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans will be used by such Borrower for its general corporate purposes, which shall include, but shall not be limited to, any purchase or other acquisition of all or a portion of the debt or stock or other evidences of ownership of such Borrower or the assets or stock or other evidences of ownership of any other Person or Persons.

3.9 Sanctions Laws and Regulations. None of the Borrowers or their respective Subsidiaries is a Designated Person, nor, to the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, are any of its directors or officers or any directors or officers of its Subsidiaries. Each of the Borrowers and their employees is subject to a Code of Business Conduct (the “Code of Conduct”) which is in full force and effect on the date hereof. Among the commitments in the Code of Conduct is the commitment that each of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, and their respective employees, comply with international trade, export control, and import laws in the sale of products including export controls. The Code of Conduct also applies to Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions Laws and Regulations. The Code of Conduct will apply to all activities undertaken by each Borrower and each of their Subsidiaries, including any use of the proceeds of this Agreement. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries will directly or to its knowledge indirectly use the proceeds of the Loans in violation of any Sanctions Laws and Regulations or any Anti-Corruption Laws.

3.10Beneficial Ownership Certification. As of the Closing Date, to the knowledge of such Borrower, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification provided on or prior to the Closing Date to any Bank in connection with this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects.

(f)(i) A Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries shall commence any case, proceeding or other action (A) under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it, or seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or its debts, or (B) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or such Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (ii) there shall be commenced against a Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries any case, proceeding or other action of a nature referred to in clause (i) above which (A) results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment or (B) remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of 90 days; or

(g)Any action is undertaken to terminate any Plan as to which a Borrower, or any Subsidiary of a Borrower, may have liability, or any such Plan is terminated or such Borrower or Subsidiary withdraws from such Plan, or any Reportable Event as to any such Plan shall occur, and there shall exist a deficiency in the assets available to satisfy the benefits guaranteeable under ERISA with respect to such Plan, in the aggregate for all such Plans with respect to which any of the foregoing shall have occurred in the immediately preceding 12 consecutive months, of more than 25% of the Consolidated Net Worth of such Borrower and in the reasonable judgment of the Required Banks, such occurrence is reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrowers; or

SECTION 9.

THE AGENTS

9.1 Appointment. (a) Each Bank hereby irrevocably designates and appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the Administrative Agent of such Bank under this Agreement, and each Bank hereby irrevocably authorizes JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the Administrative Agent for such Bank, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby agree that neither the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, Lead Arrangers nor Bookrunners on the cover of this Agreement shall have any rights, duties, responsibilities or liabilities in

such respective capacity under this Agreement nor shall any such Person have the authority to take any action hereunder in its capacity as such.

(c)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against any Agent.

(d)Each of the Banks hereby exempts the Administrative Agent and Foreign Currency Agent from the restrictions pursuant to section 181 Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) and similar restrictions applicable to it pursuant to any other applicable law, in each case to the extent legally possible to such Bank. A Bank which cannot grant such exemption shall notify the Administrative Agent and Foreign Currency Agent accordingly and, upon request of the Administrative Agent or Foreign Currency Agent, as applicable, either act in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document as required pursuant to this Agreement and/or such other Loan Document or grant a special power of attorney to a party acting on its behalf, in a manner that is not prohibited pursuant to section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) and/or any other applicable laws.

9.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Each Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable to any Bank for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Banks for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrowers or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or for any failure of the Borrowers to perform their obligations hereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Bank to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrowers.

9.4 Reliance by Agents. (a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Loan, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, facsimile, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page) and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes except as provided in subsections 10.5(c) and 10.5(d). Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any discretionary action under this Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Banks as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request

of the Majority Banks, the Required Banks or all of the Banks (if the consent of the Majority Banks, the Required Banks or all of the Banks, respectively, is required), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Banks.

(b)(i) Each Bank hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Bank (whether or not known to such Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Bank shall not assert, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Bank under this subsection 9.4(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(iii) The Borrowers hereby agree that (x) in the event that the returning of an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) made with funds of the Administrative Agent or an affiliate thereof has been demanded by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection 9.4(b) and has not been recovered from any Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Bank with respect to such amount unless and until such amounts are recovered by the Administrative Agent and (y) an erroneous Payment made by the Administrative Agent or an affiliate thereof shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Loans owed by the Borrowers.

(iv) Each Bank’s and each Issuing Bank’s obligations under this subsection 9.4(b) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments, the payment in full of all amounts payable hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.

9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Bank or either Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Banks. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Banks, the Required Banks or all Banks, as applicable; provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Banks.

9.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Banks. Each Bank expressly acknowledges that neither any Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrowers, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Bank. Each Bank represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon such Agent or any other Bank, 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 each Borrower and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon each Agent or any other Bank, 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 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 Borrowers. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by any Agent hereunder, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of a Borrower which may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

9.7 Indemnification. (a) The Banks agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Bank shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this subsection 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) Each Bank shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, deductions, withholdings or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Bank and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

9.8 Agents in their Individual Capacities. Each Agent and its respective affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans made by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Bank” and “Banks” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

9.9 Successor Agents. Each Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days’ notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Banks. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, then the Majority Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor administrative agent for the Banks which successor administrative agent shall be approved by the Borrowers, whereupon such successor administrative agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. Upon any resignation by the Foreign Currency Agent, (i) the Foreign Currency Agent may appoint one of its affiliates acting through an office in the European Union as a successor Foreign Currency Agent and (ii) if the Foreign Currency Agent has not appointed one of its affiliates acting through an office in the European Union as a successor Foreign Currency Agent pursuant to clause (i) above, then the Majority Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor foreign currency agent for the Banks which successor foreign currency agent shall be approved by the Borrowers, whereupon in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), such successor foreign currency agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Foreign Currency Agent and the term “Foreign Currency Agent” shall mean such successor foreign currency agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Foreign Currency Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Foreign Currency Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Foreign Currency Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 10.

provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Administrative Agent or the Banks pursuant to subsections 2.1, 2.2, 2.5, 2.6, 2.9, 2.11, 2.20 and 9.9 shall not be effective until received (including receipt by telephone if permitted hereby).

10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of either Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Bank, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges

herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

10.4 Payment of Expenses. (a) The Company agrees (i) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and any other documents prepared in connection herewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby in such manner and in such amounts as shall be agreed to in writing by the Company and the Administrative Agent, (ii) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with the preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement, modification to, this Agreement and other documents prepared in connection herewith, and the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby and thereby, and (iii) to pay or reimburse each Bank and each Agent for all its out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement and any such other documents, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel to each Agent and one counsel representing the Banks; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to reimburse, indemnify or otherwise make any payment pursuant to this subsection 10.4 with respect to any registration duty payable in Luxembourg upon registration of this Agreement in Luxembourg except for any Luxembourg tax payable due to a registration of the Agreement when such registration is required to maintain, preserve, establish or enforce any rights of any Agent or Bank.

(b)The Company and the Capital Corporation agree jointly and severally to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each Bank and each director, officer, partner, employee, affiliate and agent thereof (each, an “Indemnified Person”) against, and to reimburse each Indemnified Person, upon its demand, for, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or other expenses (“Losses”) to which such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as such Losses arise out of or in any way relate to or result from this Agreement or the extensions of credit made hereunder (including the responsibilities, duties and obligations of the Banks hereunder and their agreement to make Loans hereunder), including, without limitation, Losses consisting of legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or participating in any legal proceeding relating to the foregoing (whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto); provided, that the foregoing will not apply to any Losses to the extent they result from (i) the negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person as finally determined by a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) any dispute solely among Indemnified Persons (other than any claims against an Indemnified Person in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an Agent or Issuing Bank under this Agreement) and which does not arise out of or relate to an act or omission of the Company or any of its affiliates. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which either Borrower may otherwise have and shall be subject to the following paragraph.

(c)Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under subsection 10.4(b) of written notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability in respect of which indemnity may be sought by it hereunder, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made against the Borrowers, notify the Borrowers thereof in writing; but the omission so to notify the Borrowers will not relieve the Borrowers from any liability (otherwise than under this subsection 10.4) which they may have to any Indemnified Person except as may be required or provided otherwise than under this subsection 10.4. Thereafter, the Indemnified Person and the Borrowers shall consult, to the extent appropriate, with a view to minimizing the cost to the Borrowers of their obligations hereunder. In case any Indemnified Person receives written notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder by it and it notifies the Borrowers thereof, the Borrowers will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that they may elect by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Person promptly after receiving

the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory at all times to such Indemnified Person; provided, however, that (i) if the parties against whom any loss, claim, damage or liability arises include both the Indemnified Person and a Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnified Persons which are different from or additional to those available to a Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower and may conflict therewith, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select one separate counsel for such Indemnified Person or Persons to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such loss, claim, damage or liability on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons and (ii) if any loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of actions brought by or for the benefit of a Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select their counsel and to assume and direct the defense thereof and no Borrower shall be entitled to participate therein or assume the defense thereof. Upon receipt of notice from the Borrowers to such Indemnified Person of their election so to assume the defense of such loss, claim, damage or liability and approval by the Indemnified Person of counsel, the Borrowers shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person under this subsection 10.4 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Indemnified Person shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence, (ii) the Borrowers shall not have employed and continued to employ counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the Borrowers shall have authorized the employment of counsel for the Indemnified Person at the expense of the Borrowers.

(d)Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this subsection 10.4, (i) the Borrowers shall not be liable for any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of any order adjudicating or otherwise disposing of any loss, claim, damage or liability effected without their consent and (ii) after the Borrowers have assumed the defense of any loss, claim, damage or liability under the preceding paragraph with respect to any Bank, they will not settle, compromise or consent to entry of any order adjudicating or otherwise disposing thereof (1) if such settlement, compromise or order involves the payment of money damages, except if the Borrowers agree with such Bank to pay such money damages, and, if not simultaneously paid, to furnish such Bank with satisfactory evidence of their ability to pay such money damages, and (2) if such settlement, compromise or order involves any relief against such Bank, other than the payment of money damages, except with the prior written consent of such Bank.

(e)Each party hereto waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding relating to the Agreement any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

(f)The agreements in this subsection 10.4 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.5 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Banks. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Banks, the Agents and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrowers may not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Bank.

(b)Any Bank may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (“Participants”) participating interests in the Loans, Commitments and other interests of such Bank hereunder. In the event of any such sale by a Bank of participating interests to a Participant, such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such

Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Bank shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement, and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Bank that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall 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 this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person other than the Borrower (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) 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. The entries in the Participant Register shall constitute prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of the accuracy of the information so recorded, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c)Any Bank may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to one or more banks or other financial institutions (“Loan Assignees”) any Bid Loan or Negotiated Rate Loan or portion thereof owing to such Bank, pursuant to a Loan Assignment executed by the assignor Bank and the Loan Assignee. Upon such execution, from and after the Transfer Effective Date specified in such Loan Assignment, the Loan Assignee shall, to the extent of the assignment provided for in such Loan Assignment and to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the same rights and benefits with respect to such Bid Loans and Negotiated Rate Loans and the same obligation to share pursuant to subsection 10.6 as it would have had if it were a Bank hereunder; provided, that unless such Loan Assignment shall otherwise specify and a copy of such Loan Assignment shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register in accordance with subsection 10.5(f), the assignor Bank shall act as collection agent for the Loan Assignee, and in the case of Bid Loans, the Administrative Agent shall pay all amounts received from the relevant Borrower which are allocable to the assigned Bid Loan directly to the assignor Bank without any further liability to the relevant Loan Assignee, and, in the case of Negotiated Rate Loans, the relevant Borrower shall pay all amounts due under the assigned Negotiated Rate Loan directly to the assignor Bank without any further liability to the Loan Assignee. At the request of any Loan Assignee, on or promptly after the Transfer Effective Date specified in such Loan Assignment, the relevant Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Loan Assignee a promissory note with respect to the Bid Loans or Negotiated Rate Loans of such Loan Assignee and its registered assigns in an amount equal to the Bid Loan or Negotiated Rate Loan assigned. Such note shall be dated the Borrowing Date in respect of such Bid Loan or Negotiated Rate Loan and shall otherwise be in the form of Exhibit L; provided, however, that such Borrower shall not be required to execute and deliver more than an aggregate of two notes with respect to the Bid Loans of any Bank with the same Interest Period at any time outstanding. A Loan Assignee shall not, by virtue of such Loan Assignment, become a party to this Agreement or have any rights to consent to or refrain from consenting to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement or any related document; provided, that (i) the assignor Bank and the Loan Assignee may, in their discretion, agree between themselves upon the manner in which the assignor Bank will exercise its rights under this Agreement and any related document, and (ii) if a copy of such Loan Assignment shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register in accordance with subsection 10.5(f), neither the principal amount of, the interest rate on, nor the maturity date of, any Bid Loan or Negotiated Rate Loan assigned to a Loan Assignee will be modified without written consent of such Loan Assignee.

(d)Any Bank may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, sell to any Bank or any affiliate thereof (other than a natural Person) and to one or more additional banks or other financial institutions (“Purchasing Banks”), all or any portion (subject to the last sentence of this subsection 10.5(d)) of its rights (which rights may include such Bank’s rights in respect of Loans it has disbursed) and obligations under this Agreement, with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of (i) the Company, and (ii) the Administrative Agent. Such sale shall be made pursuant to a Loan Assignment, executed by such Purchasing Bank and such transferor Bank (and, in the case of a Purchasing Bank that is not then a Bank or an affiliate thereof, by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent), and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the Transfer Effective Date specified in such Loan Assignment, (i) the Purchasing Bank thereunder shall be a party hereto with respect to the interest purchased and, to the extent provided in such Loan Assignment, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Bank thereunder shall cease to have those rights and obligations under this Agreement to which the Purchasing Bank has succeeded (and, in the case of a Loan Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such transferor Bank shall cease to be a party hereto). Such Loan Assignment shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Bank and the resulting adjustment of Commitments and Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Bank of a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Bank under this Agreement. On or promptly after the Transfer Effective Date specified in such Loan Assignment, the Purchasing Bank and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Purchasing Bank, shall open and maintain in the name of each Borrower a Loan Account with respect to such Purchasing Bank’s Committed Rate Loans and Bid Loans to such Borrower. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Bank may sell any portion of its rights and obligations under this subsection 10.5(d) to any bank or financial institution without the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Company if, after giving effect to such sale or at the time of such sale, as the case may be, (i) the Commitment of either of the selling and purchasing institutions would be greater than $0 but less than $5,000,000, (ii) the Purchasing Bank, together with all of its affiliates, would have a Commitment Percentage of more than 15% (or, if the Commitments shall have been terminated, such Purchasing Bank, together with all of its affiliates, would hold Loans aggregating to more than 15% in principal amount of all outstanding Loans), (iii) the Credit Rating of any Purchasing Bank shall be less than BBB+ from S&P or less than Baa1 from Moody’s or such Purchasing Bank shall have no Credit Rating or (iv) the Purchasing Bank is not a bank, insurance company, other financial institution or an affiliate of any thereof that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans or similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.

(e)The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in subsection 10.2 a copy of each Loan Assignment delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of (i) the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans (other than Negotiated Rate Loans) owing to, each Bank from time to time, and (ii) with respect to each Loan Assignment delivered to the Administrative Agent, the name and address of the Loan Assignee and the principal amount of each Bid Loan owing to such Loan Assignee. The entries in the Register shall constitute prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of the accuracy of the information so recorded, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company or any Bank or Loan Assignee at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f)Upon its receipt of a Loan Assignment executed by an assignor Bank and a Loan Assignee and an Administrative Questionnaire from the Loan Assignee if it is not then a Bank, together

with payment to the Administrative Agent (by the assignor Bank or the Loan Assignee, as agreed between them) of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Loan Assignment, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice of such acceptance and recordation to the assignor Bank, the Loan Assignee and the Borrowers. Upon its receipt of a Loan Assignment executed by a transferor Bank and a Purchasing Bank (and, in the case of a Purchasing Bank that is not then a Bank or an affiliate thereof, by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent) and an Administrative Questionnaire from the Purchasing Bank if it is not then a Bank, together with payment to the Administrative Agent (by the transferor Bank or the Purchasing Bank, as agreed between them) of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 for each Purchasing Bank listed in such Loan Assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (A) accept such Loan Assignment, (B) record the information contained therein in the Register and (C) give prompt notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Banks and the Borrowers.

(g)The Company authorizes each Bank to disclose to any Participant, Loan Assignee or Purchasing Bank (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Bank’s possession concerning the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries which has been delivered to such Bank by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with such Bank’s credit evaluation of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries prior to becoming a party to this Agreement, provided that with respect to confidential data or information described in subsection 10.7, such confidential data may be disclosed only to (i) a Purchasing Bank and/or (ii) any other Transferee or prospective Transferee with the Borrowers’ prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld with respect to prospective Participants, Participants, prospective Loan Assignees and Loan Assignees; provided, however, that such Bank shall not disclose any such confidential data or information pursuant to this subsection 10.5(g) unless (i) it has notified the Purchasing Bank or other Transferee or potential Transferee that such data or information are confidential, such notification to be in writing if such data or information are disclosed in writing and orally if such data or information are disclosed orally, and (ii) such Purchasing Bank, Transferee or potential Transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of subsection 10.7.

(h)If, pursuant to this subsection, any loan participation or series of loan participations is sold or any interest in this Agreement is transferred to any Transferee, the transferor Bank shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer or the first transfer to occur in a series of transfers between such transferor Bank and such Transferee, to comply with subsection 2.17(c), subsection 2.17(d), subsection 2.17(e) and subsection 2.17(f) as if it were a Bank. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for obtaining such documentation except from its own Transferees.

(i)Nothing in this subsection 10.5 shall prohibit any Bank from pledging or assigning its Loans to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

(j)The Borrowers, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Bank, agree to issue Notes to any Bank requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (i) above.

(k)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Bank (a “Granting Bank”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Bank to the Administrative Agent and the Company, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Bank. Each party

hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Bank). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 10.5(k) any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Company and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Bank or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Company and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This subsection 10.5(k) may not be amended without the written consent of the SPC.

10.6 Adjustments. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as otherwise provided by court order, if any Bank (a “benefitted Bank”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Committed Rate Loans, or interest thereon or commitment fee hereunder, 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 clause (e) of Section 8, or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Bank, if any, in respect of such other Bank’s Committed Rate Loans, or interest thereon, or commitment fee hereunder, such benefitted Bank shall purchase for cash from the other Banks such portion of each such other Bank’s Committed Rate Loans, or shall provide such other Banks with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Bank to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of such other Banks; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Bank, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrowers agree that each Bank so purchasing a portion of another Bank’s Committed Rate Loans may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Bank were the direct holder of such portion.

10.7 Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Agents and the Banks shall, subject as hereinafter provided, keep confidential from any third party any data or information received by them from the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement which, if provided in writing, is designated in writing as confidential, and if provided orally, is designated orally as confidential by the Borrowers except:

(i)any such data or information as is or becomes publicly available or generally known otherwise than as a result of any breach of the provisions of this subsection 10.7;

(ii)as required by law, rule, regulation or official direction or any Governmental Authority or self-regulatory body having or claiming authority or oversight over any Bank or its affiliates;

(iii)as may be necessary to protect as against the Borrowers or any of them the interests of the Banks or any of them under this Agreement;

(iv)to the extent permitted under subsection 10.5; and

(v)with respect to any Bank, to affiliates of such Bank on a need to know basis (as long as such affiliates are subject to confidentiality provisions no less restrictive than those set forth in this Agreement) and the attorneys, accountants and regulators of such Bank and such affiliates, and to each other Bank.

(b)Each of the Agents and the Banks shall use their reasonable efforts to ensure that any confidential data or information received by them from the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement which is disclosed to employees of such Agent or Bank (as the case may be) or their respective affiliates pursuant to clause (a) above, is so disclosed only to the extent necessary for purpose of the administration of this Agreement and, in all cases, on the condition that such information and data shall be kept confidential except for such purpose.

(c)For the avoidance of doubt, the Agents and the Banks may provide to data service providers that serve the lending industry, including market data collectors and league table providers, and insurers to the Agents and the Banks information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers and lenders to such data service providers and insurers if presented in a manner that does not disclose the identity of the Borrowers.

(d)The provisions of this subsection 10.7 shall survive the payment in full of all amounts payable hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.
