4 (i) All fees due and payable on the Third Amendment Effective Date and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and the Third Amendment Arrangers in connection with this Third Amendment (including the reasonable fees and expenses of a single outside counsel to the Agent and the Third Amendment Arrangers) for which invoices have been presented not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date, shall have been paid in full.

(k) (i) The Agent shall have received, at least three (3) days prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date, all documentation and other information regarding the Borrowers requested by a Lender in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act, to the extent requested in writing of the Borrowers by such Lender at least seven (7) days prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date, and (ii) to the extent any Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, at least three (3) days prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date, any Lender that has requested, in a written notice to the Borrowers at least seven (7) days prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to each Borrower shall have received such Beneficial Ownership Certification (provided that, upon the execution and delivery by such Lender of its signature page to this Third Amendment, the condition set forth in this clause (k)(ii) shall be deemed to be satisfied). Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 9.02(c) of the Credit Agreement, for purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in this Section 3, each Lender that has signed this Third Amendment shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required under this Section 3 to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date specifying its objection thereto. All documents executed or submitted pursuant to this Section 3 by and on behalf of the Borrowers shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and its counsel. The Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the Third Amendment Effective Date, and such notice shall be conclusive and binding. 4. New Lenders.

Each New Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as the Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Amended Credit Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with such

5 powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each New Lender represents and warrants that (a) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Third Amendment, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to become a Lender under the Amended Credit Agreement, (b) it has received a copy of the Amended Credit Agreement and copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Third Amendment and to become a Lender on the basis of which it has made such analysis and decision independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Lender, and (c) from and after the Third Amendment Effective Date, it shall be a party to and be bound by the provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder. 5. Reference to and Effect on Credit Agreement and Loan Documents.

(b) The Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, as specifically amended by this Third Amendment are and will continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed and each Borrower reaffirms its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is party. (c) The Borrowers hereby extend the Liens securing the Obligations until the Obligations have been Paid in Full, and agree that the amendments and waivers herein contained shall in no manner affect or impair the Obligations or the Liens securing payment and performance thereof, all of which are ratified and confirmed. (d) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Third Amendment will not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents or serve to effect a novation of the Obligations, and the failure of the Lenders at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by the Borrowers of any provision thereof shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of the Lenders to thereafter demand strict compliance therewith. The Agent and the Lenders hereby reserve all rights granted under the Amended Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, this Third Amendment and any other contract or instrument between the Borrowers and the Lenders. (e) On and after the Third Amendment Effective Date, this Third Amendment will for all purposes constitute a Loan Document. 6. Counterparts. This Third Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed

6 counterpart of a signature page of this Third Amendment by telecopy or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Third Amendment. 7. Severability. Any provision of this Third Amendment held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 8. Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Third Amendment and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Third Amendment. 9. Review and Construction of Documents. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges, and represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders, that (a) such Borrower has had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Third Amendment with its legal counsel, (b) such Borrower has reviewed this Third Amendment and fully understands the effects thereof and all terms and provisions contained herein, (c) such Borrower has executed this Third Amendment of its own free will and volition, and (d) this Third Amendment shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Borrowers and the Lenders. 10.

Successors and Assigns. This Third Amendment is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Credit Parties and the Borrowers and their respective successors and assigns. 13. Effect of Consent. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by the Agent to or for any breach of or deviation from any covenant, condition or duty by the Borrowers shall be deemed a consent or waiver to or of any other breach of the same or any other covenant, condition or duty. 14.

Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient forum. 15. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS THIRD AMENDMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS THIRD AMENDMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 1.07 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank

51 offered rate. 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 Opt-in Election, Section 2.16(c) provides a and (d) provide the mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Agent will promptly notify the Parent Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.16(e2.16(f), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is based. However, the 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 “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (ia) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.16(c) or (d), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event , a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (iib) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.16(d2.16(e)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. Section 1.08 Letters of Credit. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the amount of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any agreement related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the available amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum amount is available to be drawn at such time. For all purposes of this Agreement, if on any date of determination a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of Article 29(a) of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the applicable time) or Rule 3.13 or Rule 3.14 of the International Standby Practices, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590 (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the applicable time) or similar terms of the Letter of Credit itself, or if compliant documents have been presented but not yet honored, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” and “undrawn” in the amount so remaining available to be paid, and the obligations of the Borrowers and each Lender shall remain in full force and effect until the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit.

(a) Each Lender severally and not jointly with any other Lender, agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to extend credit (each an “Initial Loan” and, collectively, the “Initial Loans”) to the Borrowers on a revolving basis, in the form of Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit and in an amount not to exceed the lesser of such Lender’s Commitment or such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing Base, subject to the following limitations: (i) The aggregate outstanding amount of the Credit Extensions shall not at any time exceed the lower of (A) the Total Commitment then in effect (as the same may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2.09), or (B) the then amount of the Borrowing Base. (ii) No Lender shall be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit, and Letters of Credit shall be available from any Issuing Lender, subject to the ratable participation of all Lenders, as set forth in Section 2.06. The Borrowers will not at any time permit the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings to exceed the lesser of (x) the aggregate LC Sublimits for all Issuing Lenders and (y) $200,000,000. (iii) Subject to all of the other provisions of this Agreement, each Class of Revolving Loans that are repaid may be reborrowed prior to the Termination Date applicable to such Class. No new Credit Extension under any Class of Commitments, however, shall be made to the Borrowers after the Termination Date applicable to such Class. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01(c), each Borrowing of Initial Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their then applicable Commitment Percentages with respect to the applicable Class. Each Borrowing of Extended Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders of the relevant Extension Series thereof pro rata on the basis of their then applicable Extended Commitments for the applicable Extension Series. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall neither relieve any other Lender of its obligation to fund its Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement nor increase the obligation of any such other Lender. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Credit Extensions shall be made by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. Section 2.02 Reserves; Changes to Reserves. (a) The initial Availability Reserves as of the Second Third Amendment Effective Date are the following:

53 (i) Gift Certificates: An amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Subsidiary Borrowers’ gift certificates, gift cards and cardholder rewards cards outstanding from time to time. (ii) Rent: An amount equal to two (2) months rent for each leased location of each Subsidiary Borrower; provided that no such Reserve shall be imposed for any location for which a landlord’s waiver reasonably satisfactory to the Agent has been obtained. (iii) Sales Tax: An amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the credit for sales tax payable included in the financial statements of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries most recently delivered to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement. (b) The Agent may on and after the Second Third Amendment Effective Date establish additional Reserves or change any of the foregoing Reserves in its Permitted Discretion. Section 2.03 Making of Loans. (a) Except as set forth in Section 2.16 and Section 2.27, Loans (other than Swingline Loans) by the Lenders shall be either Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers may request subject to and in accordance with this Section 2.03, provided that all Swingline Loans shall be only Base Rate Loans. All Loans made pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, be Loans of the same Type. Each Lender may fulfill its Commitment with respect to any Loan by causing any lending office of such Lender to make such Loan; but any such use of a lending office shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of the applicable Note. Each Lender shall, subject to its overall policy considerations, use reasonable efforts (but shall not be obligated) to select a lending office which will not result in the payment of increased costs by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.26. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.03 and the provisions of Section 2.27, Borrowings of Loans of more than one Type may be incurred at the same time, but no more than fifteen (15) Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans may be outstanding at any time. (b) The Parent Borrower shall give the Agent three (3) Business Days’ prior telephonic (thereafter confirmed in writing) or e-mail notice of each Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans and same-day notice of each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Any such notice, to be effective, must be received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day in the case of Eurocurrency Loans prior to the date on which such Borrowing is to be made, and on the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of Base Rate Loans. Such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the amount of the proposed Borrowing (which shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000, but not less than $5,000,000 in the case of Eurocurrency Loans and shall be in an integral multiple of $250,000, but not less than $1,000,000 in the case of Base Rate Loans) and the date thereof (which shall be a Business Day) and shall contain disbursement instructions. Such Borrowing Request shall specify whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans and, if Eurocurrency Loans, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no election of Interest Period is specified in any such Borrowing Request for a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, such Borrowing

54 Request shall be deemed a request for an Interest Period of one month. If no election is made as to the Type of Loan, such Borrowing Request shall be deemed a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its proportionate share of such Borrowing, the date of such Borrowing, the Type of Borrowing being requested and the Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable thereto, as appropriate. On the borrowing date specified in such Borrowing Request, each Lender shall make its share of the Borrowing available at the office of the Agent at 10 South Dearborn Street, 22nd Floor, Chicago, Illinois, no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, in immediately available funds. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Upon receipt of the funds made available by the Lenders to fund any Borrowing hereunder, the Agent shall disburse such funds in the manner specified in the Borrowing Request delivered by the Parent Borrower and shall use reasonable efforts to make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrowers no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time. (c) If the Borrowers fail to make any payment when due hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the Agent, without the request of the Parent Borrower, shall make a Base Rate Loan in order to pay interest, fees, or other such payments to which the Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates is entitled from any Borrower and shall charge the same to the Loan Account. The Agent shall advise the Parent Borrower of any such Base Rate Loan promptly after the making thereof. The making of such Loan shall not constitute a waiver of the Borrowers’ obligations under Section 2.21(a) hereof or of the provisions of Section 2.04. Section 2.04 Overadvances. The Agent and the Lenders have no obligation to make any Loan or to provide any Letter of Credit if an Overadvance would result. The Agent may, in its discretion, make Permitted Overadvances without the consent of the Lenders and each Lender shall be bound thereby. Any Permitted Overadvances may constitute Swingline Loans. The making of any Permitted Overadvance is for the benefit of the Borrowers; such Permitted Overadvances constitute Loans and Obligations. The making of any such Permitted Overadvances on any one occasion shall not obligate the Agent or any Lender to make or permit any Permitted Overadvances on any other occasion or to permit such Permitted Overadvances to remain outstanding. The Agent’s authorization to make Permitted Overadvances may be revoked at any time by the Required Supermajority Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Agent’s receipt thereof. Section 2.05 Swingline Loans.

55 (a) General. The Agent, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, promptly after the Parent Borrower requests a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, the Swingline Lenders may elect to have the terms of this Section 2.05(a) apply to such Borrowing Request by advancing, on behalf of the Lenders and in the amount requested, same day funds to the Borrowers, on the date of the applicable Borrowing to the account specified by the Parent Borrower in such Borrowing Request (each such Loan made solely by the Swingline Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) is referred to in this Agreement as a “Swingline Loan”), with settlement among them as to the Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.07(a). Each Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Base Rate Loans funded by the Lenders, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the applicable Swingline Lender solely for its own account. The aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment. The Swingline Lenders shall not make any Swingline Loan if the requested Swingline Loan would cause the aggregate outstanding amount of the Credit Extensions to exceed the lower of (A) the Total Commitment then in effect (as the same may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2.09), or (B) the then amount of the Borrowing Base (before or after giving effect to such Swingline Loan), and the Swingline Lenders (other than JPMorgan) will receive confirmation from the Agent that such requirement is satisfied before making the requested Swingline Loan. All Swingline Loans shall be Base Rate Loans. (b) Participations by Lenders in Swingline Loans. Each Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of its Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will be required to participate. Promptly upon the receipt of such notice, the Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay, upon receipt of notice as provided above in this paragraph, to the Agent, in Dollars, for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that, in making any Swingline Loan, each Swingline Lender shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the Parent Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 5.02, unless, at least two Business Days prior to the time such Swingline Loan was made, the Required Lenders shall have notified such Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.02 would not be satisfied if such Swingline Loan were then made (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Swingline Lender shall have received any such notice, no Swingline Lender shall make any Swingline Loan until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist). Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment

56 obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to the preceding paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Agent and not to the applicable Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by a Swingline Lender from the Borrowers (or other party on behalf of the Borrowers) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of partcipations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Agent; and any such amounts received by the Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to the preceding paragraph and to such Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such Swingline Lender or to the Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof. (c) Additional Swingline Lenders; Replacement of Swingline Lender. Any Swingline Lender may be added or an existing Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Parent Borrower, the Agent and the relevant Swingline Lender(s). The Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such addition or replacement of a Swingline Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a). From and after the effective date of any such addition or replacement, (x) the new Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such new Swingline Lender, successor to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of a Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans. (d) Resignation of Swingline Lender. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline Lender, any Swingline Lender may resign as a Swingline Lender at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Agent, the Parent Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such Swingline Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.05(c) above. Section 2.06 Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Loans provided for in Section 2.01, the Parent Borrower may request any Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of any Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries in such form as is acceptable to the Agent and such Issuing Lender in its reasonable determination. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Commitments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuing Lenders shall have no obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, An Issuing Lender shall not be under any obligation to issue

57 any Letter of Credit (a) the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (A) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any Sanctions or (B) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement, (a) if if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the such Issuing Lenders from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any applicable law relating to the such Issuing Lenders Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the such Issuing Lenders Lender shall prohibit, or request that the such Issuing Lenders Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the such Issuing Lenders Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the such Issuing Lenders are Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Second Amendment Effective Date, or shall impose upon the such Issuing Lenders Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Second Amendment Effective Date and which the such Issuing Lenders Lender in good faith deems material to it, or (ii) if the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the such Issuing Lenders Lender applicable to letters of credit generally; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in the implementation thereof, and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed not to be in effect on the Second Amendment Effective Date for purposes of clause (ii) above, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal or Extension; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. (i) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit, other than an automatic renewal of an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit permitted pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 2.06(b)), the Parent Borrower shall hand deliver, fax or e-mail (in .pdf or .tif format) to the relevant Issuing Lender and the Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (d) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the relevant Issuing Lender, the Parent Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Parent Borrower to, or entered into by the Parent Borrower with, an Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

58 (ii) Any Letter of Credit issuable under this Agreement may be issued, if the Parent Borrower so requests and the relevant Issuing Lender so agrees, in the form of an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit; provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Lender to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve- month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof of such Issuing Lender’s option not to extend the Letter of Credit beyond the expiration date (a “Non-Renewal Notice”). Such Issuing Lender shall have the option to issue a Non-Renewal Notice during a specified period in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon by the Parent Borrower, such Issuing Lender and the Agent at the time such Letter of Credit is issued (the date of such notice shall be referred to herein as the “Non-Renewal Notice Date”). Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, each Lender shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant Issuing Lender to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than one year after its date of issuance or renewal; provided that such Issuing Lender shall not permit any such renewal if such Issuing Lender has reasonably determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms of this Agreement (by reason of the provisions of paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section or otherwise). (c) Limitations on Amounts. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the aggregate LC Sublimits for all Issuing Lenders and (y) $200,000,000 and, subject to the last sentence of this subsection (c), no more than $100,000,000 of which may be in respect of Standby Letters of Credit (the “Standby Letters of Credit Sublimit”), (ii) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings attributable to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender shall not exceed the LC Sublimit of such Issuing Lender, (iii) the Credit Extensions of any Lender shall not exceed the Commitment of such Lender, (iv) the Credit Extensions shall not exceed the Total Commitment and (v) in the event the Maturity Date shall have been extended as provided in Section 2.20, the sum of (x) the Letter of Credit Outstandings attributable to Letters of Credit expiring after any Maturity Date before giving effect to such extension plus (y) the Swingline Exposure attributable to Swingline Loans maturing after such Maturity Date shall not exceed the total Commitments that shall have been extended to a date after the latest expiration date of such Letters of Credit and the latest maturity date of such Swingline Loans. Each Issuing Lender (other than JPMorgan) will receive confirmation from the Agent that the requirements in clauses (i) and (iv) of the foregoing sentence are satisfied before issuing, amending, renewing or extending a Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Borrower may adjust the amount of the Standby Letters of Credit Sublimit by providing three (3) Business Days prior written notice to the Agent, so long as the total of such Standby Letters of Credit Sublimit plus any Commercial Letter of Credit Outstandings does not exceed the aggregate sublimit for Letter of Credit Outstandings set forth in Section 2.06(c)(i). The Agent shall promptly confirm to the Parent Borrower, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders the amount and the effective date of the revised sublimits. (d) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date twelve-months after the date of the issuance of such Letter

59 of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, twelve months after the then-current expiration date of such Letter of Credit), subject to automatic renewal of any Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit as provided in Section 2.06(b)(ii), and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. (e) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by any Issuing Lender, and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Lender or the Lenders, such Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, or any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or of the Commitments. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending, renewing or extending any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the Borrowers deemed made pursuant to Section 5.02, unless, at least two Business Days prior to the time of issuance, or the time of any amendment, renewal or extension subject to Section 5.02, of any Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender (or, in the case of an automatic renewal permitted pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 2.06(b), at least two Business Days prior to the time by which the election not to permit renewal must be made by the relevant Issuing Lender), the Required Lenders shall have notified the applicable Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.02 would not be satisfied if such Letter of Credit were then issued or so amended, renewed or extended (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Lender shall have received any such notice, no Issuing Lender shall issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist). In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for account of the relevant Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by an Issuing Lender (i) in the event the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due, as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section, promptly upon the receipt of notice from the Agent referred to in paragraph (f) of this Section and (ii) if any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason, at any time thereafter, promptly upon the request of such Issuing Lender. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.03 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.03 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the relevant Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Agent of any payment from any Borrower pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section,

60 the Agent shall distribute such payment to the relevant Issuing Lender or, to the extent that the Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. (f) Disbursement and Reimbursement. If an Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall give prompt notice thereof to the Agent and the Parent Borrower by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile or e- mail), and the Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuing Lender in respect of such LC Disbursement by paying to the Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Parent Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Parent Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time; provided that if such LC Disbursement is not less than (x) $2,000,000 in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (y) $1,000,000 in the case of a Borrowing of Swingline Loans, the Parent Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or a Borrowing of Swingline Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Borrowing of Swingline Loans. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof. (g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) any payment by an Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the failure to perfect any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Agent or any of the Lenders as security for any reimbursement obligations in respect of any LC Disbursement, (v) any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the stated expiration date thereof or of the Commitments or (vi) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder.

61 None of Neither the Agent, the Lenders or the , nor any Issuing Lenders, Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by any Issuing Lender or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms , any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the relevant Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Lender (with such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination, and that: (i) an Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (ii) an Issuing Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (iii) this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by an Issuing Lender when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing). (h) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit shall, within a reasonable time the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Lender shall promptly after such examination notify the Agent and the Parent Borrower by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile or e-mail) of such demand for payment and whether if such Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

62 (i) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to, but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Lender for such LC Disbursement shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the Borrowers reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement in full. (j) Additional Issuing Lenders; Replacement of Issuing Lenders. An Issuing Lender may be added, or an existing Issuing Lender may be replaced, under this Agreement at any time by written agreement between the Parent Borrower, the Agent and the relevant Issuing Lender. The Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such addition or replacement. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the Issuing Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.10. From and after the effective date of any such addition, the new Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue any new Letters of Credit or to amend, renew or extend any such outstanding Letters of Credit. (k) Resignation of Issuing Lender. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Lender, any Issuing Lender may resign as an Issuing Lender at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Agent, the Parent Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such Issuing Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.06(j) above. (l) Issuing Lender Reports to the Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Agent, each Issuing Lender (other than JPMorgan) shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuing Lender issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Lender makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrowers fail to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Lender on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other

63 information as the Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender. (m) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Parent Borrower receives notice from the Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated pursuant to Article VIII, Lenders with Letter of Credit Outstandings representing more than 50% of the total Letter of Credit Outstandings) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall immediately deposit into the Cash Collateral Account an amount in immediately available funds in Dollars equal to 103% of the Letter of Credit Outstandings as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VIII. The Borrowers also shall deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.31. Each such deposit shall be held by the Agent as collateral for the Letter of Credit Outstandings and other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, and for this purpose the Borrowers hereby grant a security interest to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders in such collateral account and in any financial assets (as defined in the UCC) or other property held therein. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing or paragraph (d)(ii) of this Section, if there are any Letter of Credit Outstandings after the expiration date specified in said paragraph (d)(ii), the Borrowers shall promptly deposit (but in any event within two (2) Business Days after the expiration date specified in paragraph (d)(ii)) in the Cash Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 103% of such Letter of Credit Outstandings as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such Cash Collateral Account. All amounts on deposit pursuant to this paragraph (m) shall be invested by the Agent in interest bearing instruments or accounts, with the selection of which instruments or accounts to be determined by the Agent in its sole discretion; provided that the Agent shall consult with the Parent Borrower as to the selection of such instruments or accounts; provided, further, that such investments shall be at the risk and expense of the Borrowers. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed , together with related fees, costs, and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but (i) subject to the consent of Lenders with Letter of Credit Outstandings representing 100% of the total Letter of Credit Outstandings and (ii) in the case of any such application at a time when any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect thereto, the remaining cash collateral shall be less than the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings of all the Defaulting Lenders), the consent of each Issuing Lender), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the amount (including any interest and profits earned thereon as aforesaid) standing to the credit of such account (to the extent not applied as

64 aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.31, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers, as promptly as practicable, to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, no Issuing Lender shall have any exposure in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit that is not fully covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or the remaining cash collateral and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Section 2.07 Settlements Amongst Lenders. (a) Each Swingline Lender may (but shall not be obligated to), at any time, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby authorize each Swingline Lender to act in their behalf in that regard) request the Agent to cause the Lenders to make a Revolving Loan (which shall be a Base Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding amount of Swingline Loans made in accordance with Section 2.05, which request may be made regardless of whether the conditions set forth in Article V have been satisfied. Upon such request, the Agent, on behalf of such Swingline Lender, shall request settlement with the Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any date that the Agent elects, by notifying the Lenders of such requested settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the Settlement Date. Upon such request, each Lender shall make available to the Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Loan for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender. If the applicable Swingline Lender requires a Revolving Loan to be made by the Lenders and the request therefor is received prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, that day; and, if the request therefor is received after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, then no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the next Business Day. The obligation of each Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Agent or the applicable Swingline Lender. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Agent at the NYFRB Rate. (b) The amount of each Lender’s Commitment Percentage of outstanding Revolving Loans shall be computed on at least a weekly (or more frequently in the Agent’s discretion) basis and shall be adjusted upward or downward based on all Revolving Loans and repayments of Revolving Loans received by the Agent as of 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day following the end of the period specified by the Agent (such date, the “Settlement Date”). (c) The Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders promptly after the Settlement Date a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans for the period and the amount of repayments received for the period. As reflected on the summary statement: (x) the Agent shall transfer to each Lender its applicable Commitment Percentage of repayments, and (y) each Lender shall transfer to the Agent (as provided below), or the Agent shall transfer to each Lender, such amounts as are necessary to insure that, after giving effect to all such transfers, the amount of Revolving Loans made by each Lender with respect to Revolving Loans shall be equal to such Lender’s applicable Commitment Percentage of Revolving Loans outstanding as of such

65 Settlement Date. If the summary statement requires transfers to be made to the Agent by the Lenders and is received prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, that day; and, if received after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, then no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the next Business Day. The obligation of each Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Agent. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Agent at the NYFRB Rate. Section 2.08 Notes; Repayment of Loans. (a) The Loans made by each Lender (and to the applicable Swingline Lender, with respect to Swingline Loans) may, upon request by such Lender (or such Swingline Lender), be evidenced by a Note duly executed by the Borrowers, dated the Effective Date (or in the case of a Note evidencing an increased or a new Commitment pursuant to Section 2.09, the effective date of such increased or new Commitment), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 or B-2, as applicable, payable to such Lender (or such Swingline Lender, as applicable) in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment (or the applicable Swingline Lender’s Swingline Commitment). (b) The Borrowers shall repay to the Agent the then outstanding principal balance of all Swingline Loans on the earlier of the Swingline Maturity Date or, on the date otherwise requested by the applicable Swingline Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05(a). The Borrowers shall repay to the Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, (i) on the Commitment Termination Date, the then outstanding principal balance of all Initial Loans and (ii) on the relevant maturity date for any Extension Series of Extended Commitments, the then outstanding principal balance of all Extended Loans in respect of such Extension Series. The Borrowers shall repay to the Agent the then outstanding principal balance of all other Obligations (other than the Initial Loans, Swingline Loans and Extended Loans) on the Termination Date (subject to earlier repayment as provided below). Each Loan shall bear interest from the date thereof on the outstanding principal balance thereof as set forth in this Article II. Each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrowers to endorse on a schedule attached to any Note delivered to such Lender (or on a continuation of such schedule attached to such Note and made a part thereof), or otherwise to record in such Lender’s internal records, an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Loan from such Lender, each payment and prepayment of principal of any such Loan, each payment of interest on any such Loan and the other information provided for on such schedule; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make such a notation or any error therein shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans made by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Notes. Section 2.09 Termination or Reduction of Commitments; Increase of Commitments. (a) Upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent, the Parent Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Commitments of any Class. Each such partial reduction shall be in the

66 principal amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Each such reduction or termination shall (i) be applied ratably to the Commitments of each Lender of such Class, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) the Parent Borrower may allocate any termination or reduction of Commitments among Classes of Commitments either (A) ratably among Classes or (B) first to the Commitments with respect to any Existing Commitments and second to any Extended Commitments, in each case, on a pro rata basis based on such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the applicable Class of Commitments and (2) in connection with the establishment on any date of any Extended Commitments pursuant to Section 2.20, the Existing Commitments of any one or more Lenders providing any such Extended Commitments on such date shall be reduced in an amount equal to the amount of Specified Existing Commitments so extended on such date (provided that (x) after giving effect to any such reduction and to the repayment of any Loans made on such date, the Credit Extensions of any such Lender does not exceed the Commitment thereof (such Credit Extension and Commitment being determined in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, exclusive of such Lender’s Extended Commitment and any exposure in respect thereof) and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, any such repayment of Loans contemplated by the preceding clause (x) shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 2.18 with respect to the ratable allocation of payments hereunder, with such allocation being determined after giving effect to any conversion pursuant to Section 2.20 of Existing Commitments and Existing Loans into Extended Commitments and Extended Loans respectively, and prior to any reduction being made to the Commitment of any other Lender) and (ii) be irrevocable when given. At the effective time of each such reduction or termination, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for application as provided herein (i) all Commitment Fees accrued on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced through the date thereof and (ii) any amount by which the Credit Extensions outstanding on such date exceed the amount to which the Commitments are to be reduced effective on such date, in each case pro rata based on the amount prepaid. (b) The Borrowers shall have the right to increase the Commitments by obtaining additional Commitments, either from one or more of the Lenders or another lending institution provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000, (ii) the Parent Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, may make a maximum of four (4) such requests, (iii) the Agent has approved the identity of any such new Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, (iv) any such new Lender assumes all of the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, and (v) the procedures described in Section 2.09(c) have been satisfied; provided that for purposes of clarity, no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to increase its Commitments. (c) Any amendment hereto for such an increase or addition of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.09(b) shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Agent, the Borrowers and each Lender being added or increasing its Commitment (each such Lender, a “Commitment Increase Lender”), subject only to the approval of the requisite Lenders pursuant to Section 10.02(b) if any such increase would cause the Total Commitment to exceed $1,000,000,000. As a condition precedent to such an increase, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Agent a certificate of each Borrower signed by an authorized officer of each Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article IV and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all

67 material respects (except any representations and warranties qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects), except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (except any representations and warranties qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date, and (B) no Default exists. (d) On the effective date of any increase or addition of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.09(b), (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding (the “Existing Revolving Borrowings”) immediately prior to the effectiveness of such increase of the Commitments shall be deemed to be repaid, (ii) each Commitment Increase Lender that shall have had a Commitment prior to the effectiveness of such increase of the Commitments shall pay to the Agent in dollars, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the difference between (A) the product of (1) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such increase of the Commitments) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings (as defined below) and (B) the product of (1) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the effectiveness of such increase of the Commitments) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings, (iii) each Commitment Increase Lender that shall not have had a Commitment prior to the effectiveness of such increase of the Commitments shall pay to the Agent in dollars, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the product of (1) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such increase of the Commitments) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings, (iv) after the Agent receives the funds specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Agent shall pay to each Lender the portion of such funds that is equal to the difference between (A) the product of (1) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the effectiveness of such increase of the Commitments) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings, and (B) the product of (1) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such increase of the Commitments) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings, (v) after the effectiveness of such increase of the Commitments, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have made new Borrowings of Revolving Loans (the “Resulting Revolving Borrowings”) in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings and of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a Borrowing Request delivered to the Agent in accordance with Section 2.03 (and the Parent Borrower shall deliver such Borrowing Request), (vi) each Lender shall be deemed to hold its Commitment Percentage of each Resulting Revolving Borrowing (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such increase of the Commitments) and (vii) the Borrowers shall pay each Lender any and all accrued but unpaid interest on its Loans comprising the Existing Revolving Borrowings. The deemed payments of the Existing Revolving Borrowings made pursuant to clause (i) above shall be subject to compensation by the Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.21(d) if the date of the effectiveness of such increase of the Commitments occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto. Upon each increase of the Commitments, the participation interests of the Lenders in the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall automatically be adjusted to reflect, and each Lender (including each Commitment Increase Lender) shall have a participation in each such Letter of Credit equal to, the Lenders’ respective Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit, after giving effect to such increase of the Commitments.

68 (e) Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any increase or addition of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.09(b), the Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise Schedule 1.1 to reflect such increase and shall distribute such revised Schedule 1.1 to each of the Lenders and the Borrowers, whereupon such revised Schedule 1.1 shall replace the old Schedule 1.1 and become part of this Agreement. (f) On the effective date of any increase or addition of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.09(b), the amount of any dollar threshold in this Agreement based on Excess Availability (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the dollar thresholds included in (x) the definitions of “Activation Period”, “Cash Control Event”, “Excess Availability Threshold”, “Inspection Trigger Period” and “Trigger Period” and (y) Section 7.08) shall be increased so that the percentage of the Total Commitment represented by such dollar threshold after giving effect to such increase or addition of the Commitments equals the percentage of the Total Commitment represented by such dollar threshold before giving effect to such increase or addition of the Commitments. Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any increase or addition of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.09(b), the Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, amend this Agreement solely to reflect such changes to the amount of any dollar thresholds in this Agreement based on Excess Availability as set forth above and shall distribute such revised copy of this Agreement to each of the Lenders and the Borrowers, whereupon such revised copy shall replace this Agreement. Section 2.10 Letter of Credit Fees. (a) The Borrowers shall pay the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the third Business Day after each Quarterly Date and on the Latest Maturity Date, in arrears, a fee (each, a “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the following per annum percentages of the average daily amount of Standby Letter of Credit Outstandings or Commercial Letter of Credit Outstandings, as applicable (excluding in each case any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Standby Letter of Credit Outstandings or Commercial Letter of Credit Outstandings, as applicable (each computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) over a year of 360 days): (i) Standby Letters of Credit: At the then Applicable Rate per annum for Eurocurrency Loans. (ii) Commercial Letters of Credit: At 50% of the then Applicable Rate per annum for Eurocurrency Loans.

Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the date the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that any commitment fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The Agent shall pay the Commitment Fee to the Lenders based upon their pro rata share of the aggregate Commitment Fee due to all Lenders on the date payment is due. Section 2.13 Interest on Loans.

(a) If (a) Subject to clauses (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) of this Section 2.16, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing: (i) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate or because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or

71 (ii) the Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers Parent Borrower and the Lenders through Electronic System as provided in Section 10.01 as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Parent Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any notice from the Parent Borrower to the Agent in accordance with Section 2.17 that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and any such Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be repaid or converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. (b) If any Lender determines that any requirement of law has made it unlawful, or if any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, fund or continue any Eurocurrency Borrowing, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers Parent Borrower through the Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make, maintain, fund or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert Borrowings of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Borrowings will be suspended until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrowers Parent Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers will upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), either prepay or convert all Euroccurency Borrowings of such Lender to Borrowings of Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers will also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower, (and any Hedging Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.16), 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, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement 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 all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with

72 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 Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders; provided that, with respect to any proposed amendment containing any SOFR- Based Rate, the Lenders shall be entitled to object only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion. (e) (d)In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent 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.

(h) (f)Upon the Parent Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) any notice from the Parent Borrower to the Agent in accordance with Section 2.17 that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, the Borrowers may revoke any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and any such Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be repaid or converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of Base Rate Loansof, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. 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 the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate. Section 2.17 Conversion and Continuation of Loans. The Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers shall have the right at any time, (a) on three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice to the Agent (which notice, to be effective, must be received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the date of any conversion), (x) to convert any outstanding Borrowings of Base Rate Loans (but in no event Swingline Loans) to Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans or (y) to continue an outstanding Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans for an additional Interest Period, or (b) on same-day notice to the Agent (which notice, to be effective, must be received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of any conversion

If the Parent Borrower does not give notice to convert any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, or does not give notice to continue, or does not have the right to continue, any Borrowing as Eurocurrency Loans, in each case as provided above, such Borrowing shall automatically be converted to, or continued as, as applicable, a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans at the expiration of the then-current Interest Period. The Agent shall, after it receives notice from the Parent Borrower, promptly give each Lender notice of any conversion, in whole or part, of any Loan made by such Lender.

(b) Application of Payments. All payments and any proceeds of Collateral received by Agent (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Parent Borrower), (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.21) or (C) amounts to be applied from the JPMorgan Concentration Account when full cash dominion is in effect (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.24) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, shall be applied ratably: (i) first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the

76 Agent and the Issuing Lenders from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Bank Product Obligations); (ii) second, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Bank Product Obligations); (iii) third, to pay interest due in respect of any Permitted Overadvances; (iv) fourth, to pay the principal of any Permitted Overadvances, (v) fifth, to pay interest then due and payable on Credit Extensions (other than any Permitted Overadvances) ratably; (vi) sixth, to repay outstanding Swingline Loans; (vii) seventh, pro rata, to repay (x) other outstanding Loans, (y) all unreimbursed LC Disbursements to pay an amount to the Agent equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the Letter of Credit Outstandings to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations and to pay all letter of credit fronting fees, if any, then due hereunder, ratably between the Issuing Lenders entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts thereof then due to the Issuing Lenders, and (z) outstanding obligations with respect to Specified Bank Products up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the Specified Bank Product Amount; provided that outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be repaid before outstanding Eurocurrency Loans are repaid; and further provided that payments to repay outstanding Eurocurrency Loans shall be accompanied by the payment of all “Breakage Costs” due in respect of such repayment pursuant to Section 2.22(b); and (viii) eighth, to pay all other Obligations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, outstanding obligations with respect to Specified Bank Products that were not otherwise repaid under the “seventh” step set forth above) that are then outstanding and then due and payable (it being understood that undrawn Letters of Credit shall not be required to be cash collateralized if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). (c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein (for the avoidance of doubt, as this Agreement is in effect from time to time), including Sections 2.20(f) and 2.31: (i) each payment of commitment fees under Section 2.12 and letter of credit fees under Section 2.10 shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments under Section 2.09 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (or, in the case of any such payment of commitment fees at a time when the Commitments shall have terminated or expired, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Credit Extensions); (ii) each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of the making of Revolving Loans) or their respective Loans that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid or prepaid Borrowing of Revolving Loans; (iv) each Swingline Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata between the Swingline Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Swingline Commitments; and (v) each payment or prepayment of any Swingline Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Swingline Loans included in the repaid or prepaid Swingline Borrowing; and (vi) each payment or prepayment of any other Obligations shall be applied ratably to Bank Product Obligations included in the repaid or prepaid other Obligations. (d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If (i) any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender

77 receiving such greater proportion shall (A) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans or (ii) any Swingline Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Swingline Loans resulting in such Swingline Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by the other Swingline Lender, then the Swingline Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (A) notify the Administrative Agent and the other Swingline Lender of such fact and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Swingline Loans of the other Swingline Lender to the extent necessary so that the amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Swingline Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their Swingline Loans, provided that: (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as this Agreement is in effect from time to time), including Sections 2.09(d) and 2.20(f), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any Eligible Assignee. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Borrower in the amount of such participation. (e) Payments by the Borrowers; Presumptions by the Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Parent Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

78 (f) Certain Deductions by the Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to or for the account of the Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Swingline Lender, then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations in respect of such payment until all such unsatisfied obligations have been discharged or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to Sections 2.03(b), 2.05(b), 2.06(e), 2.06(f), 2.18(e) and 10.04(c)), in each case in such order as shall be determined by the Agent in its discretion. (g) Returned Payments. If any item deposited to the JPMorgan Concentration Account and credited to the Loan Account is dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason, whether or not such return is rightful or timely, the Agent shall have the right to reverse such credit and charge the amount of such item to the Loan Account and the Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders against all claims and losses resulting from such dishonor or return. Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent may delay application of the items deposited in the JPMorgan Concentration Account to the Obligations until the Agent has received a reconciliation of Non-Borrower Credit Card Proceeds which may have been forwarded to the JPMorgan Concentration Account. Section 2.19 [Reserved] Section 2.20 Extension Offers. (a) The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Commitments of any Class, existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Commitment” and any related revolving credit loans under any such facility, “Existing Loans”; each Existing Commitment and related Existing Loans together being referred to as an “Existing Class”) be converted to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Existing Loans related to such Existing Commitments (any such Existing Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Commitments” and any related revolving credit loans, “Extended Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.20. Prior to entering into any Extension Amendment with respect to any Extended Commitments, the Parent Borrower shall provide a notice to the Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Class of Existing Commitments and which such request shall be offered equally to all Lenders) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Commitments to be established thereunder, which terms shall be substantially similar to those applicable to the Existing Commitments from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Commitment Class”) except that (w) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment Class, (x)(i) the interest rates, interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and premiums with respect to the Extended Commitments may be different from those for the Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment Class and/or (ii) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (i), (y)(A) the undrawn revolving credit

79 commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Commitments may be different from such rate for Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment Class and (B) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any period after the Latest Maturity Date in effect prior to the Extension Amendment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.20 or otherwise, (1) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments (which shall be governed by clause (3) below)) of the Extended Loans under any Extended Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with any borrowings and repayments of the Existing Loans of the Specified Existing Commitment Class (the mechanics for which may be implemented through the applicable Extension Amendment and may include technical changes related to the borrowing and replacement procedures of the Specified Existing Commitment Class), (2) assignments and participations of Extended Commitments and Extended Loans shall be governed by the assignment and participation provisions set forth in Section 10.06, (3) subject to the applicable limitations set forth in Section 2.09, permanent repayments of Extended Loans (and corresponding permanent reduction in the related Extended Commitments) shall be permitted as may be agreed between the Parent Borrower and the Lenders thereof and (4) the Extension Amendment may provide for any other amendments or modifications provided such other amendments or modifications are consented to by the requisite Lenders in accordance with Section 10.02 and Section 10.03, as applicable. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Loans or Commitments of any Existing Class converted into Extended Loans or Extended Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Commitments of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of revolving credit commitments from Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment Class and from any other Existing Commitments (together with any other Extended Commitments so established on such date). (b) The Parent Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Class are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to accomplish the purpose of this Section 2.20. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Commitments (or any earlier Extended Commitments) of an Existing Class subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Commitments shall notify the Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Commitments (and/or any earlier Extended Commitments) which it has elected to convert into Extended Commitments (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Agent); provided that any Lender that does not so advise the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension Request (any such Lender which shall have rejected or is deemed to have rejected such extension being a “Non- Extending Lender”). In the event that the aggregate amount of Commitments (and any earlier Extended Commitments) subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Commitments requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Commitments and (and any earlier Extended Commitments) subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Commitments on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Commitments (and any earlier Extended Commitments) included in each such Extension Election or as may be otherwise agreed to in the applicable Extension Amendment. Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Commitment into an Extended Commitment, such Extended Commitment shall be treated identically to all Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment Class for purposes of the

80 obligations of a Lender in respect of Swingline Loans under Section 2.05 and Letters of Credit under Section 2.06, except that the applicable Extension Amendment may provide that the Swingline Maturity Date and/or the last day for issuing Letters of Credit may be extended and the related obligations to make Swingline Loans and issue Letters of Credit may be continued (pursuant to mechanics to be specified in the applicable Extension Amendment) so long as the applicable Swingline Lender and/or the applicable Issuing Lender, as applicable, have consented to such extensions (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension). (c) Extended Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.02 and Section 10.03, as applicable, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Commitments established thereby) executed by the Borrowers, the Agent and the Extending Lenders. It is understood and agreed that each Lender hereunder has consented, and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by this Section 2.20 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith. No Extension Amendment shall provide for any tranche of Extended Commitments in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $200,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.20(c) and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 10.02 and Section 10.03, as applicable, to any Section 2.20 Additional Amendments (as defined below), any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.20 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Section 2.20 Additional Amendments are within the requirements of Section 2.20(a) and do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.20 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including, without limitation, pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Loans provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Borrowers and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.20 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 10.02 and Section 10.03, as applicable. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) on any date on which any Class of Existing Commitments is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with paragraph (a) above (an “Extension Date”), in the case of the Existing Commitments of each Extending Lender under any Specified Existing Commitment Class, the aggregate principal amount of such Existing Commitments shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Commitments shall be established as a separate Class of revolving credit commitments from the Specified Existing Commitment Class and from any other Existing Commitments (together with any other Extended Commitments so established on such date) and (B) if, on any Extension Date, any Existing Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the Specified Existing Commitment Class, such Existing Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Specified Existing Commitments to Extended Commitments. Promptly following each Extension Date, the Borrowers, at the request of any Extending Lender, will deliver to such Lender a new or

81 replacement Note or Notes, conforming to the requirements of Section 2.08(a) but modified to reflect the changes to such Lender’s Existing Commitment or Extended Commitment, as applicable. Upon receipt of any replacement Note or Notes hereunder the relevant Lender shall cancel and return to the Borrowers each replaced Note held by such Lender. (e) No exchange of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.20 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement. (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) with respect to any Non-Extending Lender, the Maturity Date for such Lender shall remain unchanged (and the Commitment of such Lender shall terminate, the Loans made by such Lender to the Borrowers hereunder shall mature and be payable by the Borrowers, and all other amounts owing to such Non-Extending Lender hereunder shall be payable, on such date), and on such date the Borrowers shall also make such other prepayments of Loans as shall be required in order that, after giving effect to the termination of the Commitments of, and all payments to, the Non- Extending Lenders pursuant to this sentence, the Credit Extensions will not exceed the Commitments and (ii) the “Maturity Date” (without taking into consideration any extension pursuant to this Section 2.20), as such terms are used in reference to any Issuing Lender or any Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender or any Swingline Lender or any Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Lender, may not be extended without the prior written consent of such Issuing Lender and such Swingline Lender, as applicable (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender shall not have consented to any such extension, (i) such Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender or a Swingline Lender, as applicable, hereunder through the Maturity Date for such Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, and thereafter shall have no obligation to make any Swingline Loans or to issue, amend, extend or renew any Letter of Credit (but shall, in each case, continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.13, 2.26, 2.28, 10.04 and 10.11, as applicable as to Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans issued or made prior to such time), and (ii) the Borrowers shall cause the Letter of Credit Outstandings attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender and the Swingline Exposure attributable to Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender to be zero no later than the day on which such Letter of Credit Outstandings or Swingline Exposure, as applicable, would have been required to have been reduced to zero in accordance with the terms hereof without giving effect to any effectiveness of the extension of the applicable Maturity Date pursuant to this Section). Section 2.21 Mandatory Prepayment; Cash Collateral. The outstanding Obligations shall be subject to mandatory prepayment as follows: (a) If at any time the amount of the Credit Extensions exceeds the lower of (i) the then amount of the Total Commitment, and (ii) the then amount of the Borrowing Base, the Borrowers will immediately upon notice from the Agent (A) prepay the Loans in an amount necessary to eliminate such excess, and (B) if, after giving effect to the prepayment in full of all outstanding Loans such excess has not been eliminated, deposit cash into the Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to the difference between (1) 103% of the Letters of Credit

82 Outstanding, and (2) the lower of (x) the amount of the then Total Commitment, and (y) the then amount of the Borrowing Base. (b) To the extent required pursuant to Section 2.24(c)(ii), the Revolving Loans shall be repaid daily in accordance with the provisions of said Section 2.24(c)(ii). (c) If, as of the close of business on any day on which (i) the Parent Borrower delivers a Borrowing Base Certificate to the Agent pursuant to Section 6.01(e) or (ii) a Revolving Loan is made or a Letter of Credit is issued, amended, renewed or extended, the Consolidated Cash Balance after giving pro forma effect to (x) the Borrowing Base calculated by such Borrowing Base Certificate but prior to giving effect to any payment required to be made by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.21(a) above and (y) such Credit Extension after giving effect to the use of proceeds thereof, in each case, as applicable, would exceed the Consolidated Cash Balance Threshold, then the Borrowers shall within five (5) Business Days after such date prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the amount of Excess Cash as of such date of payment after giving effect to any payment required to be made by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.21(a) above, if any, and any use of proceeds from such Credit Extension to be made contemporaneously therewith. (c) [Reserved]. (d) Subject to the foregoing, outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be prepaid before outstanding Eurocurrency Loans are prepaid. Each partial prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000. If any prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans is made other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall reimburse the Lenders for all “Breakage Costs” (as defined in Section 2.22 below) associated therewith. In order to avoid such Breakage Costs, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the request of the Parent Borrower, the Agent shall hold all amounts required to be applied to Eurocurrency Loans in the Cash Collateral Account and will apply such funds to the applicable Eurocurrency Loans at the end of the then pending Interest Period therefor (provided that the foregoing shall in no way limit or restrict the Agent’s rights upon the subsequent occurrence of an Event of Default). No partial prepayment of a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall result in the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans remaining outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing being less than $10,000,000 (unless all such outstanding Eurocurrency Loans are being prepaid in full). Any prepayment of the Revolving Loans shall not permanently reduce the Commitments. (e) All amounts required to be applied to all Loans hereunder (other than Swingline Loans) shall be applied ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage. (f) Upon the Termination Date applicable to a Class of Commitments, the Commitments of such Class shall be terminated in full and the Borrowers shall pay, in full and in cash, all outstanding Loans of such Class. Section 2.22 Optional Prepayment of Loans; Reimbursement of Lenders.

83 (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay outstanding Loans in whole or in part, (x) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written, telex or facsimile (or other electronic transmission) notice to the Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, and (y) with respect to Base Rate Loans, on the same Business Day if written, telex or facsimile (or other electronic transmission) notice is received by the Agent prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, subject to the following limitations: (i) Subject to Section 2.18, all prepayments shall be paid to the Agent for application, first, to the prepayment of outstanding Swingline Loans, and second, to the prepayment of other outstanding Loans ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage. (ii) Subject to the foregoing, outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be prepaid before outstanding Eurocurrency Loans are prepaid. Each partial prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000. If any prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans is made other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall reimburse the Lenders for all “Breakage Costs” (as defined below) associated therewith. No partial prepayment of a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall result in the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans remaining outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing being less than $10,000,000 (unless all such outstanding Eurocurrency Loans are being prepaid in full). (iii) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount and Type of the Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were made. Each notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrowers to prepay such Loan by the amount and on the date stated therein. The Agent shall, promptly after receiving notice from the Borrowers hereunder, notify each Lender of the principal amount and Type of the Loans held by such Lender which are to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the manner of application of the prepayment. (b) The Borrowers shall reimburse each Lender on demand for any loss incurred or to be incurred by it in the reemployment of the funds released (i) resulting from any prepayment (for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, conversion to Base Rate Loans or acceleration by virtue of, and after, the occurrence of an Event of Default) of any Eurocurrency Loan required or permitted under this Agreement, if such Loan is prepaid other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan or (ii) in the event that after the Parent Borrower delivers a notice of borrowing under Section 2.03 in respect of Eurocurrency Loans, such Loans are not borrowed on the first day of the Interest Period specified in such notice of borrowing for any reason. Such loss shall be the amount as reasonably determined by such Lender as the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on the amount so paid or not borrowed at a rate of interest equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Loan, for the period from the date of such payment or failure to borrow to the last day (x) in the case of a payment or refinancing of a Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, of the then current Interest Period for such Loan or (y) in the case of such failure to borrow, of the Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, over (B) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such

84 Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the London interbank market (collectively, “Breakage Costs”). Any Lender demanding reimbursement for such loss shall deliver to the Borrowers from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss as determined by such Lender and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined, such certificates to be substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto. (c) In the event the Borrowers fail to prepay any Loan on the date specified in any prepayment notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.22(a), the Borrowers on demand by any Lender shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any actual loss incurred by such Lender as a result of such failure to prepay, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expenses incurred by reason of the acquisition of deposits or other funds by such Lender to fulfill deposit obligations incurred in anticipation of such prepayment. Any Lender demanding such payment shall deliver to the Borrowers from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss as determined by such Lender and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined, such certificates to be substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto. (d) Whenever any partial prepayment of Loans of a particular Class are to be applied to Eurocurrency Loans of such Class, such Eurocurrency Loans shall be prepaid in the chronological order of their Interest Payment Dates. Notwithstanding the foregoing (and as provided in clause (1) of the proviso to Section 2.20(a)), the Borrowers may not optionally prepay Extended Loans of any Extension Series unless such prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata repayment of Existing Loans of the Specified Existing Commitment Class of the Existing Class from which such Extended Loans and Extended Commitments were converted (or such Loans and Commitments of the Existing Class have otherwise been repaid and terminated in full). Section 2.23 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Account. (a) The Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of the Borrowers (the “Loan Account”) which will reflect (i) all Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers or for the Borrowers’ account, (ii) all LC Disbursements, fees and interest that have become payable as set forth herein, and (iii) any and all other monetary Obligations that have become payable. (b) The Loan Account will be credited with all amounts received by the Agent from the Borrowers, including all amounts received in the JPMorgan Concentration Account from the Blocked Account Banks, and the amounts so credited shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.18(b). After the end of each month, the Agent shall send to the Borrowers a statement accounting for the charges, loans, advances and other transactions occurring among and between the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers during that month. The monthly statements shall, absent manifest error, be an account stated, which is final, conclusive and binding on the Borrowers. Section 2.24 Cash Receipts.

85 (a) Annexed hereto as Schedule 2.24(a) is a list of all DDAs as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, which Schedule includes, with respect to each Depository and DDA, as applicable, (i) the name and address of that Depository; (ii) the account number(s) maintained with such Depository; (iii) to the extent known, a contact person at such Depository and (iv) indicating whether both a duly completed and executed DDA Notification and a Blocked Account Agreement satisfying the requirements of Section 2.24(c) have been delivered to the Agent prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date for such DDA, and if so completed and delivered, identifying such DDA Notification and such Blocked Account Agreement for such DDA (each such DDA, an “Existing Blocked Account”). (b) Annexed hereto as Schedule 2.24(b) is a list (i) describing all arrangements to which any Borrower is a party as of the Second Amendment Effective Date with respect to the payment to any Borrower of the proceeds of all credit card charges for sales by any Borrower and (ii) indicating whether a duly completed and executed Credit Card Notification satisfying the requirements of Section 2.24(c) has been delivered to the Agent prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date for such arrangement, and if so completed and delivered, identifying such Credit Card Notification (each such Credit Card Notification, an “Existing Credit Card Notification”). (c) (i) (x) Within ninety (90) days (as such date may be extended by the Agent in its sole discretion) after the Second Amendment Effective Date, (A) the Borrowers shall deliver to the Agent notifications executed on behalf of the Borrowers to each Depository with which any DDA is maintained by the Borrowers (other than an Existing Blocked Account) in form satisfactory to the Agent, of the Agent’s interest in such DDA (each, a “DDA Notification”), and (B) the Borrowers shall either (1) enter into agency agreements with the Depositories maintaining the deposit accounts or other accounts identified on Schedule 2.24(a) that maintain a DDA (other than an Existing Blocked Account) (collectively, the “New Blocked Accounts”, and collectively with the Existing Blocked Accounts, the “Blocked Accounts”), which agreements (the “Blocked Account Agreements”) shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, or (2) if the Borrowers are unable to enter into Blocked Account Agreements in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent with any of the Depositories identified on Schedule 2.24(a), the Borrowers shall (I) provide the Agent with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, that the Borrowers have closed the deposit accounts maintained with such banks, (II) establish new deposit accounts or other accounts (the “Replacement Deposit Accounts”) with a different Depository (the “Replacement Institution”), (III) enter into a Blocked Account Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent with each Replacement Institution and the Agent with respect to the Replacement Deposit Accounts, and (IV) in connection with the foregoing, provide the Agent with an amended Schedule 2.24(a) reflecting the removal of the closed deposit accounts and the addition of the Replacement Deposit Accounts, and (y) within ninety (90) days (as such date may be extended by the Agent in its sole discretion) after the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Agent notifications (the “Credit Card Notifications”) executed on behalf of the Subsidiary Borrowers to each of their major credit card processors that has not delivered an Existing Credit Card Notification instructing such credit card processors to remit proceeds of all credit card charges to a Blocked Account with JPMorgan that is reasonably acceptable to the Parent Borrower and the Agent (the “Parent Borrower Blocked Account”), which Parent Borrower Blocked Account is subject to the Parent Borrower Blocked Account Agreement.

86 (ii) The DDA Notifications shall require, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an a Specified Event of Default or Cash Control Event, the sweep on each Business Day of all available cash receipts and other proceeds from the sale of Inventory, including, without limitation, the proceeds of all credit card charges (all such cash receipts and proceeds, “Cash Receipts”), to a concentration account maintained by the Agent at JPMorgan and designated by the Agent for such purpose (the “JPMorgan Concentration Account”). The Blocked Account Agreements (including, without limitation, the Blocked Account Agreement with respect to the Parent Borrower Blocked Account) shall require, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an a Specified Event of Default or Cash Control Event, the sweep on each Business Day of all cash and other amounts, including, without limitation, all Cash Receipts, held in such Blocked Account to the JPMorgan Concentration Account. (d) The Borrowers shall cause all Cash Receipts from the sale of each Subsidiary Borrower’s Inventory to be directly deposited into a Blocked Account subject to a Blocked Account Agreement. (e) The Borrowers may close DDAs or Blocked Accounts and/or open new DDAs or Blocked Accounts, subject to the execution and delivery to the Agent of appropriate DDA Notifications or Blocked Account Agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.24 and Section 6.13(d). Within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as the Agent may reasonably agree) of any Borrower entering into any agreement with credit card processors, such Borrower must execute and deliver a Credit Card Notification to the Agent. (f) The JPMorgan Concentration Account is, and shall remain, under the sole dominion and control of the Agent. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Borrower has no right of withdrawal from the JPMorgan Concentration Account, (ii) the funds on deposit in the JPMorgan Concentration Account shall continue to be collateral security for all of the Obligations and (iii) the funds on deposit in the JPMorgan Concentration Account shall be applied as provided in Section 2.18(b). (g) So long as (i) no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) no Cash Control Event has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may direct, and shall have sole control over, the manner of disposition of its funds in the DDA Accounts and Blocked Accounts. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an a Specified Event of Default or Cash Control Event, the Borrowers shall cause the ACH or wire transfer to a Blocked Account or to the JPMorgan Concentration Account, no less frequently than daily (and whether or not there is then an outstanding balance in the Loan Account, unless the Commitments have been terminated hereunder and the Obligations have been Paid in Full) of the then contents of each DDA, each such transfer to be net of any minimum balance, not to exceed $10,000, as may be required to be maintained in the subject DDA by the bank at which such DDA is maintained, and, in connection with each such transfer, the Borrowers shall also provide the Agent with an accounting of the contents of each DDA which shall identify, to the satisfaction of the Agent, the Other Store Proceeds. Upon the receipt of (x) the contents of each such DDA, and (y) such accounting, the Agent agrees to promptly remit to the Borrowers the Other Store Proceeds received by the Agent for such day.

87 Further, whether or not any Obligations are then outstanding, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an a Specified Event of Default or Cash Control Event, the Borrowers shall cause the ACH or wire transfer to the JPMorgan Concentration Account, no less frequently than daily, of the then entire ledger balance of each Blocked Account (including, without limitation, the Parent Borrower Blocked Account), net of such minimum balance, not to exceed $10,000, as may be required to be maintained in the subject Blocked Account by the bank at which such Blocked Account is maintained. In addition to the foregoing, unless and until the Borrowers have established procedures with their credit card processors to deposit the Non-Borrower Credit Card Proceeds to an account, other than the Parent Borrower Blocked Account, which is not subject to the Lien of the Agent, the Borrowers shall, in connection with the transfer of the ledger balance of the Parent Borrower Blocked Account, net of the permitted balance, provide the Agent with an accounting of the contents of the Parent Borrower Blocked Account, which shall identify, to the satisfaction of the Agent, the Non-Borrower Credit Card Proceeds. Upon the receipt of (x) the contents of the Parent Borrower Blocked Account, and (y) such accounting, the Agent agrees to promptly remit to the Borrowers the Non-Borrower Credit Card Proceeds received by the Agent for such day. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.24, after the occurrence of an a Specified Event of Default or Cash Control Event, the Borrowers receive or otherwise have dominion and control of any such proceeds or collections, such proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by the Borrowers for the Agent and shall not be commingled with any of the Borrowers’ other funds or deposited in any account of any Borrower other than as instructed by the Agent. Effective upon notice to the Parent Borrower from the Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Cash Control Event or an a Specified Event of Default (including, without limitation, the failure of the Borrowers to comply with the provisions of this Section 2.24(g)) (which notice may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing), (i) the Agent may, at any time thereafter, deliver the DDA Notifications and the Credit Card Notifications to the addressees thereof, and (ii) the DDA Accounts, Blocked Accounts and the JPMorgan Concentration Account will, without any further action on the part of any Borrower or the Agent convert into a closed account under the exclusive dominion and control of the Agent in which funds are held subject to the rights of the Agent hereunder. In such event, all amounts in the JPMorgan Concentration Account (other than Non-Borrower Credit Card Proceeds and Other Store Proceeds) from time to time may be applied to the Obligations in such order and manner as provided in Section 2.18(b) hereof. Section 2.25 [Reserved]. Section 2.26 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement or insurance charge) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or

88 any holding company of any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Lender; or (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Other Taxes and (C) Excluded Taxes) of any kind whatsoever with respect to its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, an Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) other than Taxes which shall be governed by Section 2.28 hereof, then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of, or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. (c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined shall be delivered to the Parent Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing

89 Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Parent Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Section 2.27 Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if (x) any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for a Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain a Eurocurrency Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to a Eurocurrency Loan or (y) at any time any Lender determines that the making or continuance of any of its Eurocurrency Loans has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Second Third Amendment Effective Date which adversely affects the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in the London interbank market, then, by written notice to the Parent Borrower, such Lender may (i) declare that Eurocurrency Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request by the Borrowers for a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and (ii) require that all outstanding Eurocurrency Loans made by it be converted to Base Rate Loans, in which event all such Eurocurrency Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below. In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph (a), all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurocurrency Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurocurrency Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Base Rate Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurocurrency Loans. (b) For purposes of this Section 2.27, a notice to the Borrowers by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall be effective, if lawful, and if any Eurocurrency Loans shall then be outstanding, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period; and otherwise such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrowers. Section 2.28 Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by any Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including

90 such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.28) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes. (c) Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.28, such Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. (d) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (e). (f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender,

91 if reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.28(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a U.S. Person, (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Agent), an executed copy of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (2) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower within the meaning

92 of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) an executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

93 (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph (g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document (including the Payment in Full of the Obligations). (i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.28, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. Section 2.29 [Reserved]. Section 2.30 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Designation of a Direct Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.26, or requires the Borrowers to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.28, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.26 or Section 2.28, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be liable for such costs and expenses of a Lender requesting compensation if (i) such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement on a date after the Second

94 Third Amendment Effective Date and (ii) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto. (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.26, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.28, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender has become a Non-Extending Lender, or if any Lender has become a Minority Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payment pursuant to Section 2.26 or Section 2.28) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06, (iii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans that have been funded by such Lender, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.22(b)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (iv) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.26 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.28, such assignment and delegation will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter, (v) in the case of any assignment and delegation resulting from any Lender becoming a Non-Extending Lender, upon the effectiveness of such assignment and delegation, such assignee shall be deemed to have consented to the extension of the Maturity Date requested in the relevant Extension Request (and, if such assignment and delegation shall become effective after the effective date of the relevant Extension Amendment, the Maturity Date with respect to such assignee (insofar as relating to the interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents so assigneed and delegated) shall automatically extend to the date specified in the relevant Extension Request), and (vi) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Parent Borrower, the Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto. Section 2.31 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender. (a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Unused Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12;

95 (b) such Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote on any issue on which voting is required (other than to the extent expressly provided in Section 10.02(b)) and the Commitment and Credit Extensions of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or the Required Supermajority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder; (c) if any Swingline Exposure or Letter of Credit Outstandings exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: (i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure or Letter of Credit Outstandings of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Credit Extensions plus such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata share of the Swingline Exposure and Letters of Credit Outstandings does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments; (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders, the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Oustandings (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(m) for so long as such Letter of Credit Outstandings is outstanding; (iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Outstandings pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Outstandings during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Outstandings is cash collateralized; (iv) if the Letter of Credit Outstandings of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12 and Section 2.10(a) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non- Defaulting Lenders’ Commitment Percentages; and (v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Outstandings is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lenders or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.10(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Outstandings shall be payable to the Issuing Lenders until such Letter of Credit Outstandings is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and (d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lenders shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lenders shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be

96 provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.31(c), and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan or newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.31(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to the a Lender Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Issuing Lender or any Swingline Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Issuing Lenders shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit and the Swingline Lenders shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan, unless the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lenders, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lenders, as the case may be, to defease any risk in respect of such Lender hereunder. In the event that each of the Agent, the Borrowers, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lenders agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and Letter of Credit Outstandings of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on the date of such readjustment such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage. Section 2.32 Hedging Agreements and other Bank Products. Each Lender (other than JPMorgan) or Affiliate thereof providing Bank Products for, or having Hedging Agreements with, any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, promptly after entering into such Bank Product or Hedging Agreement, written notice setting forth the aggregate amount of all Bank Product Obligations of such Borrower or Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof to such Lender or Affiliate (whether matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent) and the Specified Bank Product Amount agreed to between the Lender (or its Affiliate) and the Parent Borrower, as applicable. In addition, each such Lender (other than JPMorgan) or Affiliate thereof shall deliver to the Agent, from time to time after a significant change therein or upon a request therefor, a summary of the amounts due or to become due in respect of such Bank Product Obligations and the Specified Bank Product Amount agreed to between the Lender (or its Affiliate) and the Parent Borrower, as applicable. The most recent information provided to the Agent shall be used in determining the amounts to be applied in respect of such Bank Product Obligations pursuant to Section 2.18(b). For the avoidance of doubt, neither JPMorgan nor any of its Affiliates providing Bank Products for, or having Hedging Agreements with, any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Borrower shall be required to provide any notice described in this Section 2.32 in respect of such Bank Products or Hedging Agreements. ARTICLE III LOAN GUARANTY Section 3.01 Guaranty. The Loan Guarantors hereby jointly and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, guarantee to each Lender, each other holder of a Guaranteed

97 Obligation (as hereinafter defined) and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and all fees, indemnification payments and other amounts whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, now or hereafter from time to time owing to the Lenders or the Agent by a Borrower under this Agreement and by any Borrower (other than, with respect to any Loan Guarantor, any Excluded Hedging Obligations of such Loan Guarantor) under any of the other Loan Documents, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof and including all interest, fees and expenses accrued or incurred subsequent to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding with respect to a Borrower, whether or not such interest, fees or expenses are allowed as a claim in such proceeding (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Loan Guarantors hereby further jointly and severally agree that if a Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Loan Guarantors will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. Section 3.02 Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require the Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender to sue any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor of, or any other Person obligated for, all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations. Section 3.03 No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty. (a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other Obligated Party liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Agent, the Issuing Lender, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions. (b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity,

98 illegality or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. (c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other Obligated Party liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations). Section 3.04 Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other Obligated Party, other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party or any other Person. Each Loan Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. The Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been Paid in Full. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security. Section 3.05 Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification, that it has against any Obligated Party or any collateral, until the Borrowers and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders.

99 Section 3.06 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff) is rescinded, or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Secured Party in its discretion), each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Agent. Section 3.07 Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that none of the Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks. Section 3.08 Taxes. Each payment of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by law. If any Loan Guarantor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Loan Guarantor may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender (as the case may be) receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made. Section 3.09 Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty, the amount guaranteed by each Loan Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, Uniform Voidable Transactions Act or similar statute or common law. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such Loan Guarantor may have under this Loan Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account. Section 3.10 Contribution. (a) To the extent that any Loan Guarantor shall make a payment under this Loan Guaranty (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Loan Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Loan Guarantor if each Loan Guarantor had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same

100 proportion as such Loan Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Loan Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guarantor Payment and the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of this Agreement, such Loan Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Loan Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. (b) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Loan Guarantor shall be equal to the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Loan Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Loan Guarantor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other Loan Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all payments made by other Loan Guarantors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions. (c) This Section 3.10 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Loan Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 3.10 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Loan Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Loan Guaranty. (d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Loan Guarantor or Loan Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. (e) The rights of the indemnifying Loan Guarantors against other Loan Guarantors under this Section 3.10 shall be exercisable upon the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. Section 3.11 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Borrower as a Loan Guarantor under this Article III is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to the Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Borrowers, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary. Section 3.12 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Borrower to honor all of its obligations under this Guarantee in respect of a Hedging Obligation (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 3.12 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 3.12 or otherwise under this Loan Guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). Except as otherwise provided herein, the obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 3.12 shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of all Hedging Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends

101 that this Section 3.12 constitute, and this Section 3.12 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Borrower for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. Section 3.13 Release of Guarantees. A Loan Guarantor (other than the Parent Borrower) will automatically be released from its obligations under this Article III upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which neither the Parent Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries owns any Equity Interest in such Loan Guarantor or such Loan Guarantor otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary; provided that, if so required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transactions and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise. In connection with any release pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Guarantor, at such Loan Guarantor’s expense, all documents that such Loan Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Agent.

ARTICLE IX THE AGENT Section 9.01 Authorization and Action. (a) Each Lender, on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates that are Secured Parties , and an each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and each Lender and each Issuing Lender authorizes the Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than within the United States, each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby grants to the Agent any required powers of attorney to execute and enforce any Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s behalf. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Agent is a party, and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Agent may have under such Loan Documents. (b) As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender and each Issuing Lender; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the

132 Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. (c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Secured Party or holder of any other obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Agent in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby; and (ii) nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Agent for its own account. (d) The Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent. (e) None of any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any Arranger shall have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.

133 (f) In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Borrower under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13, 2.26, 2.28 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Lender and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 10.04). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Lender or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Lender in any such proceeding. (g) The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrowers’ right to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, no Borrower nor any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.

(a) Neither the Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such party, the Agent or any of its Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (x) with the consent of or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a

134 court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by facsimile, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page) or for any failure of any Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. (b) The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any (i) notice of any of the events or circumstances set forth or described in Section 6.02 unless and until written notice thereof stating that it is a “Notice under Section 6.02” in respect of this Agreement and identifying the specific clause under said Section is given to the Agent by the Parent Borrower or (ii) notice of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) Notice of Default” or a “Notice of an Event of Default”) is given to the Agent by the Parent Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Lender. Further, and the Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items (which on their face purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to the Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Agent, or (vi) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral; (c) Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent (i) may treat the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with Section 10.06, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 10.06(c), (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or Issuing Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Borrower in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Lender sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting

135 or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

(a) The Borrowers agree that the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic system chosen by the Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). (b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Agent from time to time (including, as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per- deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each Lender, each Issuing Lender and each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGENT, ANY ARRANGER, ANY DOCUMENTATION AGENT, ANY SYNDICATION AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY BORROWER, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY BORROWER’S OR THE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

(d) Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees (i) to notify the Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s (as applicable) e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

The terms “Issuing Lenders”, “Lenders”, “Required Lenders”, “Required Supermajority Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, Issuing Lender or as one of the Required Lenders or Required Supermajority Lenders, as applicable.

Section 9.05 Successor Agent. (a) The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Parent Borrower, whether or not a successor Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders , and shall have accepted such appointment , within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Agent , which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America or an Affiliate of any such bank. In either case, such appointment

137 shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Parent Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent. Upon the acceptance of appointment as Agent by a successor Agent, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as Agent under the Loan Documents. (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in the event no successor Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrowers, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Security Document and Loan Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for in paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Agent for the account of any Person other than the Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Agent shall directly be given or made to each Lender and Issuing Lender. Following the effectiveness of the Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article, Section 2.28(d) and Section 10.04, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under paragraph (a) above.

Each Lender and each Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent, or any other Lender or Issuing Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrowers and their Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. (b) Each Lender, each Issuing Lender and each Swingline Lender by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date or the effective date of any such Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall have become a Lender hereunder. (c) Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Agent; (ii) the Agent (A) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (B) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (iii) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Borrowers and will rely significantly upon the Borrowers’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Borrowers’ personnel and that the Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (iv) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Borrower or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (v) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, (A) it will hold the Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any extension of credit that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to a Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a Loan or Loans; and (B) it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)

Section 9.07 Collateral Matters. (a) Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.10 or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In its capacity, the Agent is a “representative” of the Secured Parties within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the UCC. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Obligations, the Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties. (b) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no arrangements in respect of Hedging Agreements or other Bank Products the obligations under which constitute Obligations, will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Borrower under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such arrangement in respect of Hedging Agreements or other Bank Products, as applicable, shall be deemed to have appointed the Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph. (c) The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.02(a). The Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Agent’s Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by any Borrower in connection therewith, nor shall the Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. Section 9.08 Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Borrower is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Agent (whether by judicial action or

140 otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid. Section 9.09 Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agent, and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

141 (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96- 23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. (b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agent, and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower, that none of the Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the Collateral or the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto). (c) The Agent and each Arranger, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent hereby inform the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the

142 Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing. Section 9.10 Flood Laws. JPMorgan has adopted internal policies and procedures that address requirements placed on federally regulated lenders under the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 and related legislation (the “Flood Laws”). JPMorgan, as administrative agent or collateral agent on a syndicated facility, will post on the applicable electronic platform (or otherwise distribute to each Lender in the syndicate) documents that it receives in connection with the Flood Laws. However, JPMorgan reminds each Lender and Participant in the facility that, pursuant to the Flood Laws, each federally regulated Lender (whether acting as a Lender or Participant in the facility) is responsible for assuring its own compliance with the flood insurance requirements. Section 9.11 Acknowledgements with Respect to Payments. (a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Agent notifies such Lender that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the 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 Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the 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 Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the 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 Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the 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 Agent to any Lender under this Section 9.11 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (b) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the 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 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 Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion

143 thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the 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 Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. (c) The Borrowers hereby agree that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers, except, in each case, to the extent such erroneous Payment (or any portion thereof) is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds of a Borrower. (d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision

145 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders may (i) reallocate the LC Sublimits among the Issuing Lenders without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document and (ii) the Parent Borrower, Administrative Agent and any Issuing Lender may agree to increase or decrease the LC Sublimit of such Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall promptly confirm to the Parent Borrower, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders the amount and the effective date of the revised sublimits. (c) Administrative Agent Execution. The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, waivers or other modifications on behalf of such Lender.

Section 10.03 Special Amendment Rules. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no such agreement shall (i) change Section 6.02 of the Security Agreement or Section 6.02 of the Pledge Agreement in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (other than a Defaulting Lender), (ii) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.03(a) or Section 10.03(b) or the definition of the term “Required Supermajority Lenders” without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (other than a Defaulting Lender), (iii) except as provided in Section 10.03(c) below or in any Security Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or subordinate the Obligations hereunder, or the Liens granted hereunder or under

Section 10.14 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the NYFRB Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Section 10.15 Additional Waivers. The Obligations are the joint and several obligations of each Borrower. (a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of the Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any other Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Borrower of the Obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the security held by or on behalf of the Agent or any other Secured Party. (b) The obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the Payment in Full of the Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Borrower or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Borrower as a matter of law or equity (other than the Payment in Full of the Obligations). (c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Borrower or the unenforceability of

160 the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Borrower, other than the Payment in Full of the Obligations. The Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Borrower, or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any other Borrower, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Borrower hereunder except to the extent that all the Obligations have been Paid in Full. Pursuant to applicable law, each Borrower waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Borrower against any other Borrower, as the case may be, or any security. (d) Upon payment by any Borrower of any Obligations, all rights of such Borrower against any other Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior Payment in Full of the Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter held by any other Borrower is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior Payment in Full of the Obligations. None of the Borrowers will demand, sue for, or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Borrower on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Borrower, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Section 10.16 No Fiduciary Duty, etcEtc. (a) Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to each Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated herein and therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, any Borrower or any other person. Each Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising any Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. Each Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Loan Documents, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to any Borrower with respect thereto. (b) Each Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with its Affiliates, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any

161 Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, any Borrower and other companies with which any Borrower may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion. (c) In addition, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which a Borrower may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from any Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with such Borrower in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. Each Borrower also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to any Borrower, confidential information obtained from other companies.

162 contemplated by this Agreement and all materials (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. Section 10.18 Non-Public Information. (a) EACH LENDER, EACH ISSUING LENDER AND THE AGENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PARENT BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

Section 10.20 Specified Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, the assets of the Specified Subsidiaries are not and shall not be required to be pledged as Collateral under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and none of the Specified Subsidiaries are or shall be deemed to be a Borrower, a Loan Guarantor or a Grantor (as defined in the Security Agreement). The Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that at all times, including, without limitation, (a) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (b) if the Lenders become judgment creditors and seek to attach or levy upon any assets of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to enforce any such judgment, DICL will continue to be operated in compliance with the regulatory guidelines required by the Bermuda Monetary Authority and the Arkansas Insurance Department. Section 10.21 Marketing Consent. The Parent Borrower hereby authorizes JPMorgan and its affiliates (collectively, the “JPMCB Parties”), at their respective sole expense, but without

163 any prior approval by the Parent Borrower, to include the Parent Borrower’s name and logo in advertising slicks posted on their internet sites, in pitchbooks or sent in mailings to prospective customers and to give such other publicity to this Agreement as each may from time to time determine in its sole discretion. The JPMCB Parties shall not use any Subsidiary Borrower’s name or any Subsidiary Borrower’s logo without the prior written approval of such Subsidiary Borrower and the Parent Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the JPMCB Parties shall not publish the Borrowers’ names in a newspaper or magazine without obtaining the Borrowers’ prior written approval. The foregoing authorization shall remain in effect unless and until the Parent Borrower notifies the JPMCB Parties in writing that such authorization is revoked. Section 10.22 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority. Section 10.23 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedging Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC

164 may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. Section 10.24 Several Obligations; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board) for the repayment of the Borrowings provided for herein. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither any Issuing Lender nor any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of any requirement of law. Section 10.25 Disclosure. Each Borrower, each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any of the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates. Section 10.26 Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than the Agent) obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Agent’s instructions. Section 10.27 Joint and Several. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees it is jointly and severally liable to the Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders for the Obligations. In furtherance thereof, each Borrower agrees that wherever in this Agreement it is provided that a Borrower is liable for a payment, such obligation is the joint and several obligation

165 of each Borrower. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that its joint and several liability under this Agreement and the Loan Documents is absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever by the Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Lender or any other Person. Each Borrower’s liability for the Obligations shall not in any manner be impaired or affected by which Borrower receives or uses the proceeds of the credit extended hereunder or for what purposes such proceeds are used, and each Borrower waives notice of borrowing requests issued by, and loans or other extensions of credit made to, other Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby agrees not to exercise or enforce any right of exoneration, contribution, reimbursement, recourse or subrogation available to such Borrower against any party liable for payment under this Agreement and the Loan Documents unless and until the Obligations have been Paid in Full. Each Borrower’s joint and several liability hereunder with respect to the Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the unconditional liability of such Borrower irrespective of (i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance or subordination of any of the Obligations or of any other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations against any applicable Borrower, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect any of the Obligations from any other Borrower or any Collateral or other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the amendment, modification, waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by the Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument executed by any other Borrower evidencing or securing the payment of any of the Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to the Agent (but not, in either case, with respect to such other Borrower or the payment of the Obligations generally), (iv) the failure by the Agent or any Lender to take any steps to perfect or maintain the perfected status of its Lien upon, or to preserve its rights to, any of the Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations or the Agent’s release of any Collateral or of its Liens upon any Collateral, (v) the release or compromise, in whole or in part, of the liability of any other Borrower for the payment of any of the Obligations, (vi) any increase in the amount of the Obligations beyond any limits imposed herein or in the amount of any interest, fees or other charges payable in connection therewith, in each case, if consented to by any other Borrower, or any decrease in the same, or (vii) any other circumstance that might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Borrower. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent may proceed directly and at once, without notice to any Borrower, against any or all of Borrowers to collect and recover all or any part of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower or against any Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, and each Borrower waives any provision that might otherwise require the Agent or the Lenders under applicable law to pursue or exhaust remedies against any Collateral or other Borrower before pursuing such Borrower or its property. Each Borrower consents and agrees that neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.
