The Company (such term, and each other capitalized term used and not otherwise defined in these recitals having the meaning assigned to it in Article I) has requested the Lenders and the Issuing Banks to extend credit to enable the Borrowers to borrow on a revolving credit basis and obtain Letters of Credit on and after the date hereof and at any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not in excess of the US Dollar Equivalent of US$1,000,000,000 at any time outstanding. The proceeds of borrowings hereunder are to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Lenders and the Issuing Banks are willing to extend such credit to the Borrowers on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

SECTION 1.01. Definitions. The following terms, as used herein, have the following meanings:

“ABR”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such Loan, or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, are bearing interest at a rate per annum determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate.

“Accession Agreement” has the meaning set forth in Section 2.07(d).

“Acquisition” means any acquisition, or a series of related acquisitions, by the Company or any Subsidiary of (a) Equity Interests in any Person that is not the Company or a Subsidiary if, after giving effect thereto, such Person will become a Subsidiary (or will be merged with or into the Company or any Subsidiary) or (b) assets comprising all or substantially all the assets of (or all or substantially all the assets constituting a business unit, division, product line or line of business of) any Person.

“Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR” means an interest rate per annum equal to (a) the Daily Simple SOFR plus (b) 0.10%; provided that if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR as so determined shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero.

“Adjusted Term SOFR” means, with respect to any Term SOFR Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum equal to (a) the Term SOFR for such Interest Period plus (b) 0.10%; provided that if the Adjusted Term SOFR as so determined shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero.

“Administrative Questionnaire” means, with respect to each Lender, an administrative questionnaire in the form supplied by the Agent and submitted to the Agent (and with a copy to the Company upon request by the Company) duly completed by such Lender.

“Affected Financial Institution” means (a) any EEA Financial Institution or (b) any U.K. Financial Institution.

“Affiliate” means, at any time, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified at such time.

“Agent” means JPMorgan in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder, and its successors in such capacity, together with, to the extent provided in Section 7.09, any Agent Designee. Unless the context requires otherwise, the term “Agent” shall include any Affiliate or branch of JPMorgan through which JPMorgan shall perform any of its obligations in such capacity hereunder.

“Agent Designee” has the meaning set forth in Section 7.09.

“Agent Parties” has the meaning set forth in Section 9.01.

“Agreed Currencies” means US Dollars and each Designated Foreign Currency.

“Agreed LC Currency” means, as to each Issuing Bank, any currency (other than US Dollars or a Designated Foreign Currency) approved in writing by such Issuing Bank and the Agent, so long as such other currency is freely traded and convertible into US Dollars in the London or other offshore interbank market for such currency and a US Dollar Equivalent thereof can be calculated.

“Agreement” has the meaning specified in the preamble hereto.

“Agreement Currency” has the meaning set forth in Section 9.11(b).

“Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the NYFRB Rate in effect on such day plus ¹⁄₂ of 1% per annum and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR for a one month Interest Period as published two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such day (or if such day is not a U.S. Government Securities Business Day, the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day) plus 1% per annum. For purposes of clause (c) above, the Adjusted Term SOFR on any day shall be based on the Term SOFR Reference Rate at approximately 5:00 a.m., Chicago time, on such day (or any amended publication time for the Term SOFR Reference Rate, as specified by the CME Term SOFR Administrator in the Term SOFR Reference Rate methodology); provided that if such rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR

shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR, as the case may be. If the Alternate Base Rate is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.12 (for the avoidance of doubt, only until the Benchmark Replacement with respect to Term SOFR has been determined pursuant to Section 2.12(b)), then the Alternate Base Rate shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above. If the Alternate Base Rate, determined as set forth above, would be less than 1.00%, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.00% for purposes of this Agreement.

Index Debt Ratings	Term Benchmark/RFR Spread			ABR Spread			Facility Fee Rate
Category 1 A2/A or higher		0.805	%		0.000	%		0.070	%

For purposes of the foregoing, (i) if either Moody’s or S&P shall not have in effect a rating for the Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this definition), then such rating agency shall be deemed to have established a rating in Category 5, (ii) if the ratings established or deemed to have been

established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall fall within different Categories, the Applicable Rate shall be based on the higher of the two ratings, unless one of the two ratings is two or more Categories lower than the other, in which case the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the Category next below that of the higher of the two ratings and (iii) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Moody’s or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency. Each change in the Applicable Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Company and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

“Applicable Time” means, with respect to any Borrowings and payments in any Designated Foreign Currency, the local time in the place of settlement for such Designated Foreign Currency as may be determined by the Agent to be necessary for timely settlement on the relevant date in accordance with normal banking procedures in the place of payment.

implementation of such Benchmark and to permit the administration thereof by the Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of the Benchmark exists, in such other manner of administration as the Agent determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

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

“Benchmark Transition Event” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:

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

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

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

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

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the period (if any) (a) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.12(b) and (b) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.12(b).

Such Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone or email (and, in the case of telephonic notice, promptly confirmed by email) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank 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 applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(f) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement, in the currency of such LC Disbursement, not later than (i) if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, then 1:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day or (ii) otherwise, 1:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice; provided that the applicable Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with (A) in the case of an LC Disbursement in US Dollars, an ABR Borrowing under Section 2.01 in an equivalent amount and (B) in the case of an LC Disbursement in a currency other than US Dollars, an ABR Borrowing under Section 2.01 in an amount determined by the applicable Issuing Bank to be sufficient, based on current Exchange Rates, to enable it to purchase an amount of such currency equal to the amount of such LC Disbursement, and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing. If the applicable Borrower fails to make such payment when due then, upon notice from the applicable Issuing Bank to such Borrower and the Agent, (i) if (A) such Letter of Credit is a Tranche Two Letter of Credit and the currency of such Letter of Credit is Swedish Kronor or (B) the currency of such Letter of Credit is an Agreed LC Currency, such Borrower’s obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement shall be automatically and with no further action required converted into an obligation to reimburse the US Dollar Equivalent, calculated by the Agent using the LC Exchange Rate on the applicable LC Participation Calculation Date, of such LC Disbursement and (ii) the Agent shall notify each Tranche One Lender or Tranche Two Lender, as applicable, of the applicable LC Disbursement, the amount and currency of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Tranche One Percentage or Tranche Two Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice (and, in any event, no later than the next Business Day), each applicable Lender shall pay to the Agent in the applicable currency its Tranche One Percentage or Tranche Two Percentage, as applicable, of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to Loans made by such Tranche One Lender or Tranche Two Lender, as applicable (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the applicable Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Agent shall promptly remit to such Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Tranche One Lenders or Tranche Two Lenders, as applicable. Promptly following receipt by the Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Agent shall distribute such payment to such Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Tranche One Lenders or Tranche Two Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Tranche One Lenders or Tranche Two Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(g) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s 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) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) 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 the ISP 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 (v) 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 applicable Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Agent, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit 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 such Issuing Bank; provided that nothing in this Section shall be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the applicable Borrower 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 each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’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 that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower 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 such Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement at (i) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in US Dollars, and at all times following the conversion to US Dollars of any LC Disbursement made in any currency other than US Dollars pursuant to paragraph (f) or (n) of this Section, the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans and (ii) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency or an Agreed LC Currency, at all times prior to its conversion to US Dollars pursuant to paragraph (f) or (n) of this Section, the rate equal to the applicable Foreign Currency Overnight Rate plus the Applicable Rate used to determine interest applicable to such Term Benchmark Loans; provided that, if such Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, then Section 2.11(g) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank 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 applicable Borrower reimburses the applicable LC Disbursement in full.

(i) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposures representing more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the LC Exposures) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, each applicable Borrower shall deposit (“Cash Collateralize”) in respect of each outstanding Letter of Credit issued for such Borrower’s account, in an account with the Agent, in the name of the Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank, an amount in cash and in the currency of such Letter of Credit equal to the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to such Letter of Credit as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid fees and interest thereon; provided that (i) amounts payable in respect of any Letter of Credit denominated in any currency other than US Dollars, where the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations under such Letter of Credit shall have been converted to obligations in US Dollars as provided in paragraph (f) or (n) of this Section, shall be payable in US Dollars, and (ii) the obligation to Cash Collateralize 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 the Company or any Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01. The Borrowers also shall deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.20. Each such deposit shall be held by the Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the applicable Borrowers under this Agreement. The Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear

interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Monies in such account shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.16(b), be applied by the Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have 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 applicable Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to (i) the consent of Lenders with LC Exposures representing more than 50% of the aggregate LC Exposures 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 in respect of the LC Exposure under any Tranche shall be less than the aggregate LC Exposures under such Tranche of all the Defaulting Lenders) the consent of each Issuing Bank), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the applicable Borrowers under the Loan Documents. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount of cash collateral (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.20, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower as promptly as practicable to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, no Issuing Bank 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.

(j) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Company may by notice to the Agent and the Lenders designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Lender of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement (an “Issuing Bank Agreement”), which shall be in a form satisfactory to the Company and the Agent, shall set forth the LC Commitment of such Lender and shall be executed by such Lender, the Company and the Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank Agreement of any Issuing Bank may limit the currencies in which and the Borrowers for the accounts of which such Issuing Bank will issue Letters of Credit, and any such limitations will, as to such Issuing Bank, be deemed to be incorporated in this Agreement.

(k) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank (it being understood that such successor Issuing Bank shall be designated and appointed as an Issuing Bank hereunder in accordance with paragraph (j) of this Section). The Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to

Section 2.10(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to amend or extend any Letter of Credit or to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(l) Issuing Bank Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Agent such information as the Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

(m) Letter of Credit Amounts.

(i) 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 (without regard to any conditions to drawing) at such time; provided that the amount of any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any letter of credit application or other document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the available amount thereof shall, other than for purposes of Section 2.10, be deemed to be the maximum available amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum available amount is in effect at such time.

(ii) 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 ISP 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 each Borrower and each Lender hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit.

(n) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Article VI, all amounts (i) that the Borrowers are at the time or become thereafter required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Agent in respect of LC Disbursements made under any Letter of Credit denominated in any currency other than US Dollars (other than amounts in respect of which any Borrower has deposited cash collateral, if such cash collateral was deposited in the applicable currency), (ii) that the Lenders are at the time or become thereafter required to pay to the Agent (and the Agent is at the time or becomes thereafter required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Bank)

pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section in respect of unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under any Letter of Credit denominated in any currency other than US Dollars and (iii) of each Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit denominated in any currency other than US Dollars under which an LC Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the US Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rate on such date (or in the case of any LC Disbursement made after such date, on the date such LC Disbursement is made), of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of the obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in US Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

(o) Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary that is not a Borrower, or states that a Subsidiary that is not a Borrower is the “account party”, “applicant”, “customer”, “instructing party” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Company (or, in the case of any Letter of Credit in respect of which another Borrower is listed as the applicant, such Borrower) (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the Company (or such Borrower, as the case may be) and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for any of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.05. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the applicable currency by no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time (or, in the case of an ABR Borrowing, by no later than the later of (x) 1:00 p.m., New York City time, and (y) two hours after the delivery by the applicable Borrower of the related Notice of Borrowing), to the account of the Agent most recently designated by the Agent for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Agent will make such Loan proceeds available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Applicable Funding Account of such Borrower; provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(f) shall be remitted by the Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) 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 paragraph (a) of this Section and may,

in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower 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 such Borrower 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 such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the subject Loan. If such Borrower and such Lender shall both pay such interest to the Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by any Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Agent.

SECTION 2.06. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the permitted Type specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section and on terms consistent with the other provisions of this Agreement. A Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) may elect different options with respect to different portions of an affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans resulting from an election made with respect to any such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower or the Company on behalf of the applicable Borrowing Subsidiary shall deliver to the Agent a completed written Interest Election Request signed by a Financial Officer of such Borrower or the Company, as applicable, by the time and date that a Notice of Borrowing would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type and in the currency resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a Borrower shall not be permitted to (i) change the currency of any Borrowing, (ii) elect an Interest Period that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or (iii) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing not available to such Borrower under the Class of Commitments pursuant to which such Borrowing was made.

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) the currency and Type of the resulting Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Agent shall advise each affected Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is prepaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Borrowing of the same Type with an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(f) Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, other than in the case of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(g) or 6.01(h), the Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, notifies the Company of the application of this paragraph, no outstanding Borrowing denominated in US Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Term SOFR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07. Termination and Reduction and Increase in Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments (ratably as between the Tranches); provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum, in each case for Borrowings denominated in US Dollars and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to such termination or reduction and to any concurrent payment or prepayment of Loans or LC Disbursements, (A) the Tranche One Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed the Tranche One Commitment of such Lender or (B) the Tranche Two Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed the Tranche Two Commitment of such Lender.

(c) The Company shall notify the Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least two Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked or extended by the Company (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments under a Tranche shall be made ratably among the applicable Lenders in accordance with their Commitments under such Tranche.

(d) The Company may at any time and from time to time, by written agreement executed by the Company and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this Section being called an “Increasing Lender”), which may include any Lender, and delivered to the Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to the applicable Lenders) cause new Tranche One Commitments or Tranche Two Commitments to be extended by the Increasing Lenders (or cause the existing Tranche One Commitments or Tranche Two Commitments of the Increasing Lenders to be increased, as the case may be) in an amount for each Increasing Lender set forth in such agreement; provided that (i) the new Commitments and increases in existing Commitments under this paragraph shall not result in the aggregate Commitments exceeding US$1,500,000,000, and each increase shall be in an aggregate amount not be less than US$10,000,000 and an integral multiple of US$1,000,000, (ii) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Agent and each Issuing Bank (in each case, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and (iii) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall become a party to this Agreement by completing and delivering to the Agent a duly executed accession agreement in the form of Exhibit E hereto or any other form satisfactory to the Agent and the Company (an “Accession Agreement”). New Commitments and increases in Commitments shall become effective on the date specified in the applicable agreement delivered pursuant to this paragraph. Upon the effectiveness of any Accession Agreement to which any Increasing Lender is a party, such Increasing Lender shall thereafter be deemed to be a party to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges accorded a Lender hereunder and subject to all obligations of a Lender hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this paragraph unless, on the date of such increase, the Agent shall have received a certificate, dated as of the effective date of such increase and executed by a Financial Officer of the Company, to the effect that the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(b) and 4.02(c) shall be satisfied (with all references in such Sections to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to such increase and without giving effect to the parenthetical in Section 4.02(c)). Following any extension of a new Commitment or increase of a Lender’s Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.07, any Loans of the applicable Tranche outstanding prior to the effectiveness of such extension or increase shall remain outstanding until the ends of the respective Interest Periods applicable thereto, and shall then be repaid or refinanced with new Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01 ratably in accordance with the respective Commitments of the Lenders under such Tranche. Any decision by a Lender to become an Increasing Lender under this paragraph shall be in its sole and absolute discretion, and a Lender that does not execute the agreement referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall not be an Increasing Lender.

(e) Any Tranche Two Lender may at any time and from time to time, upon five Business Days’ written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to each other Lender) and the Company, and with the consent of the Company, cause the entire amount of such Lender’s Tranche Two Commitment to be redesignated as a Tranche One Commitment; provided that (i) at the time of any such redesignation, to the extent there are any outstanding Loans, the parties hereto shall implement arrangements satisfactory to the Company and the Agent to ensure that the Lenders of each Tranche will, after giving effect to such redesignation (or by such later time as the Agent may agree), hold the Loans comprising each Borrowing under such Tranche ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments and (ii) such redesignation will not result in the aggregate Tranche One Credit Exposure exceeding the aggregate Tranche One Commitments or the aggregate Tranche Two Credit Exposure exceeding the aggregate Tranche Two Commitments.

SECTION 2.08. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Agent for the account of each applicable Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Borrower on the Maturity Date in the currency of such Loan.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Debt of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the currency and amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type of each such Loan and, in the case of any Term Benchmark Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders or any of them and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it to any Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and in the form of Exhibit F hereto. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.05) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein.

SECTION 2.09. Prepayment of Loans. (a) Any Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of such Borrower, in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

(b) If the aggregate Credit Exposures under any Tranche shall at any time exceed 105% of the aggregate Commitments under such Tranche, then the applicable Borrowers shall, not later than the three Business Days thereafter, prepay one or more Borrowings under such Tranche in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(c) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section.

(d) The applicable Borrower shall notify the Agent of any prepayment of a Borrowing hereunder by emailed .pdf of a notice signed by a Financial Officer on behalf of the applicable Borrower not later than (i) in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, 12:00 noon, New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, (ii) in the case of a EURIBOR Borrowing, a CDOR Borrowing or a STIBOR Borrowing, 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, (iii) in the case of an RFR Borrowing, 12:00 noon, New York City time, five RFR Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment and (iv) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that a notice of optional prepayment of any Borrowing may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type and in the same currency as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.

SECTION 2.10. Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Agent, in US Dollars for the account of each Lender, a facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of each Commitment of such Lender, whether used or unused, during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates; provided that, if any Lender continues to have any Credit Exposure under any Tranche after its Commitment under such Tranche terminates, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Credit Exposure under such Tranche from and including the date on which such

Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Credit Exposure under such Tranche. Facility fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable in arrears on the fifteenth day after such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date and, with respect to the Commitments of any Tranche, on the date on which the Commitments of such Tranche shall terminate; provided that any facility fees accruing on the Credit Exposure under any Tranche after the date on which the Commitments under such Tranche terminate shall be payable on demand. All facility 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).

(b) The Company agrees to pay (i) to the Agent, in US Dollars for the account of each Tranche One Lender or each Tranche Two Lender, a participation fee with respect to its participations in Tranche One Letters of Credit or Tranche Two Letters of Credit, as applicable, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Term SOFR Loans, on the daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding 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 on which such Lender’s applicable Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum separately agreed upon between the Company and the applicable Issuing Bank on the portion of the daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure, as well as each Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued or becoming payable in respect of Letters of Credit through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the fifteenth day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Banks pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting 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).

(c) The Company agrees to pay to the Agent and to the Arrangers, for their own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Company, the Agent and the Arrangers.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Agent or to the Issuing Banks (in the case of fees payable to them) for distribution (i) in the case of facility fees, to the Lenders and (ii) in the case of the participation fees, to the Tranche One Lenders or Tranche Two Lenders, as applicable. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

The applicable Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, EURIBO Rate, CDO Rate, STIBO Rate, Foreign Currency Overnight Rate, Alternate Base Rate, Daily Simple SONIA or, if applicable pursuant to Section 2.12, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR shall be determined by the Agent and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.12. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) Subject to Section 2.12(b), if:

(i) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR, the EURIBO Rate, the CDO Rate or the STIBO Rate, as the case may be (including because the Relevant Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Daily Simple RFR with respect to any RFR Borrowing; or

(ii) the Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that the Adjusted Term SOFR, the EURIBO Rate, the CDO Rate or the STIBO Rate, as the case may be, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Term Benchmark Borrowing for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that the applicable Daily Simple RFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in any RFR Borrowing;

then the Agent shall give notice thereof (which may be by telephone) to the Company and the applicable Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.06 or a new Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, (A) in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars, any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, an affected Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Notice of Borrowing that requests an affected Term Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request or a Notice of Borrowing, as applicable, for (1) an RFR Borrowing denominated in US Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.12(a)(i) or 2.12(a)(ii) or (2) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.12(a)(i) or 2.12(a)(ii) and (B) in the case of Loans denominated

in a Designated Foreign Currency, any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, an affected Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Notice of Borrowing that requests an affected Term Benchmark Borrowing or an affected RFR Borrowing, in each case, for the relevant Benchmark, shall be ineffective; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowing, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of the notice from the Agent referred to in this Section 2.12(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until (x) the Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.06 or a new Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, (A) in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars, (1) any affected Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, convert to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing denominated in US Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.12(a)(i) or 2.12(a)(ii) or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.12(a)(i) or 2.12(a)(ii) on such day and (B) in the case of Loans denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, (1) any affected Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, convert to, and shall constitute, a CBR Loan that bears interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Designated Foreign Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Designated Foreign Currency cannot be determined, any such affected Term Benchmark Loans shall be prepaid in full by the applicable Borrower on the day that the Company receives notice thereof from the Agent, and (2) any affected RFR Loan shall convert to, and shall constitute, a CBR Loan that bears interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Designated Foreign Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Designated Foreign Currency cannot be determined, any such affected RFR Loan shall be prepaid in full by the applicable Borrower on the day that the Company receives notice thereof from the Agent.

(b) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to US Dollars for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other 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 clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to any Agreed Currency

for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth 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 Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, 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.

(iii) The Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(iv) and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.12, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.12.

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

(v) Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) may revoke any request for borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, (A) the applicable Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for an affected Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in US Dollars into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to (1) an RFR Borrowing denominated in US Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (2) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is also the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) any request for any affected Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency shall be ineffective. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such Agreed Currency is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.12(b), (A) in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars, any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan convert to, and shall constitute, (1) an RFR Loan denominated in US Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (2) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event and (B) in the case of Loans denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, convert to, and shall constitute, a CBR Loan that bears interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Designated Foreign Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Designated Foreign Currency cannot be determined, any such affected Loan shall be prepaid in full by the applicable Borrower on the day that the Company receives notice thereof from the Agent, and (2) any RFR Loan shall convert to, and shall constitute, a CBR Loan that bears interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Designated Foreign Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Designated Foreign Currency cannot be determined, any such affected Loan shall be prepaid in full by the applicable Borrower on the day that the Company receives notice thereof from the Agent.

SECTION 2.13. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirements (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or Issuing Bank;

(ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the Company will pay or cause to be paid to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender or Issuing Bank, the Company will pay or cause to be paid to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or other Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or other Recipient or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In determining such amount or amounts, such Lender or other Recipient may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any such certificate shall contain a statement as to the calculation of such amount or amounts; provided that such Lender or other Recipient shall not be required to disclose any information it considers, in its sole discretion, to be confidential. The Company will pay or cause to be paid to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender or other Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions and of such Lender’s or other Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.14. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether any such notice may be revoked or extended under Section 2.09(d) and is revoked or extended in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.17, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (but not for any lost profit) attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and explaining in reasonable detail the method by which such amount shall have been determined shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.15. Taxes. (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 the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) 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 the payment of, any 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, 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 satisfactory evidence of such payment.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify each Recipient, within 15 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 the Company 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 15 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 9.05(b) 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 set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the 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 Company and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as will enable the Company 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 2.15(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any applicable Borrower that is not a U.S. Person, the applicable Lender will not be subject to the requirements of this paragraph (f)(i) unless it has received written notice from such Borrower advising it of the availability of an exemption or reduction of withholding Tax under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Borrower is located and containing all applicable documentation (together, if requested by such Lender, with a certified English translation thereof) required to be completed by such Lender in order to receive any such exemption or reduction, and such Lender is reasonably satisfied that it is legally able to provide such documentation to such Borrower.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such 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 Company or the Agent), executed originals 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 Company 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 Company or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) 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, executed originals 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;

(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals 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 G-2 or Exhibit G-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 G-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 Company 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 Company or the Agent), executed originals 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 Company 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as may be necessary for the Company 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, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

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 Company and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(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 (whether in the form of cash or credit) 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 pay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (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 (but only to the extent of such repayment). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, the indemnified party will be required to pay an amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph only to the extent that such payment would not place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph 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) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” shall include FATCA.

SECTION 2.16. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to (i) in the case of payments denominated in US Dollars, 12:00 noon, New York City time, and (ii) in the case of payments denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, the Applicable Time specified by the Agent, in each case on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without defense, set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders to such account as the Agent shall from time to time specify in one or more notices delivered to the Company, except that payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein shall be made directly to such party and payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.18 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan or LC Disbursement shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made in the currency of such Loan or LC Disbursement; all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in US Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Agent to make such payment.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by the Agent from any Borrower (or from the Company as guarantor of the Obligations of such Borrower pursuant to Article VIII) and available to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due from such Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from such Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties and (ii) second, towards payment of principal of the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due from such Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of such principal then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of its Loans, participations in LC Disbursements or accrued interest on any of the foregoing (collectively “Claims”) resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Claims than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Claims of the other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of their respective

Claims; 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 any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (for the avoidance of doubt, as it may be amended from time to time) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Claims to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). 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 set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of any Lenders or Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each applicable Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank 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 Overnight Rate.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(d), 2.04(f), 2.05(b), 2.15(e) or 9.03(d) then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.17. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13 or 2.18, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its affected Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or to assign its affected rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.15 or 2.18, 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.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13 or 2.18, (ii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender is a Non-Extending Lender or (v) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment or waiver that under Section 9.04 requires the consent of all the Lenders (or all the affected Lenders or all the Lenders of the affected Class) and with respect to which the Required Lenders (or, in circumstances where Section 9.04 does not require the consent of the Required Lenders, a majority in interest of the Lenders of the affected Class) shall have granted their consent, then the Company may, at its 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 Section 9.05), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.15 or 2.18) and obligations under the Loan Documents (or, in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a failure to provide a consent, all its interests, rights (other than such existing rights) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender of a particular Class) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent and each Issuing Bank, which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (if applicable, in each case only to the extent such amounts relate to its interest as a Lender of a particular Class) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal, funded participations and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or 2.18 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments, (D) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the status of such Lender as a Non-Extending Lender, the assignee shall have agreed to the applicable Extension, (E) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such assignment and delegation and any contemporaneous assignments and delegations and consents, the applicable amendment or waiver and (F) 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 Company 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 Company, the Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto.

SECTION 2.18. Foreign Subsidiary Costs. (a) If the cost to any Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan to (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or the cost to any Lender or any Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any such Letter of Credit) issued for the account of any Borrowing Subsidiary is increased (or the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) or Issuing Bank is reduced) by an amount deemed in good faith by such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to be material, by reason of the fact that such Borrowing Subsidiary is incorporated in, or conducts business in, a jurisdiction outside the United States, such Borrowing Subsidiary shall indemnify such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such increased cost or reduction within 15 days after demand by such Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Agent). A certificate of such Lender or Issuing Bank claiming compensation under this paragraph and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder (and the basis for the calculation of such amount or amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(b) Each Lender or Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge that will entitle such Lender or Issuing Bank to additional interest or payments pursuant to paragraph (a) above, but in any event within 90 days after such Lender or Issuing Bank obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that (i) if any Lender or Issuing Bank fails to give such notice within 90 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 2.18 in respect of any costs or reductions resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 2.18 for costs or reductions incurred from and after the date 90 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank does give such notice and (ii) each Lender will, promptly after obtaining such actual knowledge, designate a different applicable lending office, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 2.19. Designation of Borrowing Subsidiaries. (a) After the date hereof, the Company may request the designation of any Subsidiary as a Borrowing Subsidiary by delivery to the Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and the Company. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, the Agent shall make a copy thereof available to each Lender and Issuing Bank. Unless any Lender or Issuing Bank shall inform the Agent within 10 Business Days (or, in the case of any such Subsidiary that is incorporated in, or conducts business in, a jurisdiction outside the United States, 15 Business Days) following the receipt of such Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement by such Lender or Issuing Bank that it is unlawful or, solely in the case of a Subsidiary not organized under the law of a Borrowing Subsidiary Approved Jurisdiction, contrary to internal policies of general applicability of such Lender or Issuing Bank, for such Lender or Issuing Bank to extend credit to such Subsidiary (in which case such Subsidiary shall not become a Borrowing Subsidiary), such Subsidiary shall, upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.03, become for all purposes of this Agreement a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement until the Company shall have executed and delivered to the Agent a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to such Subsidiary, whereupon such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement. Promptly following receipt of any

Borrowing Subsidiary Termination, the Agent shall make a copy thereof available to each Lender and Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the second preceding sentence, no Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to any Borrowing Subsidiary at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to, or Letter of Credit issued for the account of, such Borrowing Subsidiary shall be outstanding hereunder, unless, with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit, the Company shall have agreed to be the applicant with respect to each such Letters of Credit and to be responsible for all LC Disbursements thereunder and other amounts relating thereto pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; provided that such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination shall be effective to terminate such Borrowing Subsidiary’s right to make further Borrowings or to obtain further Letters of Credit under this Agreement.

(b) Each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably appoints the Company to serve as its agent for all purposes of this Agreement, (i) the giving and receipt of notices (including any Notice of Borrowing and any Interest Election Request) and (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein.

SECTION 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. (a) 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:

(i) facility fees shall continue to accrue on the amount of the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a) only to the extent of the Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (excluding any portion thereof constituting LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender that is subject to reallocation under clause (iii)(A) below);

(ii) the Commitments and Credit Exposures of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.04); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.04, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof; and

(iii) if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(A) all or any part of the Tranche One LC Exposure or Tranche Two LC Exposure, as the case may be, of such Defaulting Lender (other than any portion of such LC Exposure attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Sections 2.04(d) and 2.04(f)) shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Tranche One Lenders or the Non-Defaulting Tranche Two Lenders, as applicable, in proportion to their

respective Tranche One Percentages or Tranche Two Percentages, as applicable, but only to the extent (1)(x) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Tranche One Lenders’ Tranche One Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Tranche One LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical clause above) does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Tranche One Lenders’ Tranche One Commitments and (y) after giving effect to such reallocation, the Tranche One Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Tranche One Lender does not exceed its Tranche One Commitment and (2)(x) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Tranche Two Lenders’ Tranche Two Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Tranche Two LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical clause above) does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Tranche Two Lenders’ Tranche Two Commitments and (y) after giving effect to such reallocation, the Tranche Two Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Tranche Two Lender does not exceed its Tranche Two Commitment;

(B) if the reallocations described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, within one Business Day following notice by the Agent (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above), cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical in such clause (i)) that has not been reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(C) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such portion is cash collateralized;

(D) if the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.10(a) and 2.10(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with the amounts of such LC Exposure allocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders; and

(E) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that is subject to reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any other Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable under Section 2.10(a) to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such portion of its LC Exposure, and all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.10(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized.

(b) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit under a Tranche in which such Lender has a Commitment unless it is reasonably satisfied that such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure will be 100% reallocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateralized as provided above, and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders of the applicable Tranche in a manner consistent with paragraph (a)(iii)(A) of this Section (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(c) If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a parent entity of any Lender shall occur following the Effective Date and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) an Issuing Bank 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, such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank to eliminate any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

(d) In the event that the Agent, the Company and each Issuing Bank shall agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposures of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitments and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Tranche One Loans and/or Tranche Two Loans of the other Lenders, and such funded participations in LC Disbursements, as the Agent shall determine to be necessary in order for the Lenders to hold such Loans and funded participations in accordance with their applicable Tranche Percentages, and such Lender shall thereupon cease to be a Defaulting Lender (but shall not be entitled to receive any fees accrued during the period when it was a Defaulting Lender, and all amendments, waivers or modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.04 and this Section during such period shall be binding on it).

(e) The rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.20 are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Agent and each Lender, each Issuing Bank, the Company or any other Borrower may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.21. Extension of Maturity Date. (a) The Company may, up to two times after the Effective Date, by written notice (an “Extension Notice”) delivered to the Agent, request an extension (each, an “Extension”) of the Maturity Date to a date no later than the first anniversary of the then existing Maturity Date (such existing Maturity Date, the “Existing Maturity Date”), provided that not more than a single Extension may be effected in any period of 12 consecutive months and, after giving effect thereto, the Maturity Date may not be more than five years after the applicable Extension Closing Date.

(b) The Agent shall promptly furnish a copy of each Extension Notice to each Lender, and shall request that each Lender advise the Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to the requested Extension within 20 days of delivery to such Lender of such Extension Notice; provided that any Lender that does not advise the Agent by the 20th day after the date of such Extension Notice shall be deemed to be have declined the requested Extension (each Lender agreeing to the requested Extension being called an “Extending Lender”, and each Lender declining or deemed to have declined to agree to the requested Extension being called a “Non-Extending Lender”). The decision to agree or withhold agreement to any Extension hereunder shall be at the sole discretion of each Lender. If Lenders constituting not less than the Required Lenders shall have agreed to extend the Maturity Date before the anniversary of the Effective Date immediately following the delivery of the applicable Extension Notice, then, effective as of the Extension Closing Date with respect thereto, the Maturity Date applicable to the Extending Lenders shall be the first anniversary of the Existing Maturity Date; provided that no extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall become effective unless (the first date on which such consent of the Required Lenders is obtained and the conditions specified in this proviso are satisfied with respect to the applicable Extension being called the “Extension Closing Date”) on the applicable Extension Closing Date, the Agent shall have received a certificate, dated as of the Extension Closing Date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Company, to the effect that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(b) and 4.02(c) shall be satisfied (with all references in such Sections to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to such extension and without giving effect to the parenthetical in Section 4.02(c)). The Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall terminate on the Existing Maturity Date, and the principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by such Non-Extending Lender, together with any accrued interest thereon, and any accrued fees and other amounts payable to or for the account of such Non-Extending Lender hereunder shall be due and payable on the Existing Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the terms “Availability Period” and “Maturity Date” (without taking into consideration any extension pursuant to this Section 2.21), as such terms are used in reference to any Issuing Bank or any Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, may not be extended without the prior written consent of such Issuing Bank (it being understood and agreed that in the event any Issuing Bank shall not have consented to any Extension, (1) such Issuing Bank shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder through the applicable Existing Maturity Date (or the Availability Period determined on the basis thereof, as applicable), and thereafter shall have no obligation to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit (but shall, in each case, continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.04, 2.13, 2.15, 2.18 and 9.03 as to Letters of Credit issued prior to such time), and (2) the Borrowers shall cause the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank to be zero no later than the day on which such LC Exposure would have been required to have been reduced to zero in accordance with the terms hereof without giving effect to the effectiveness of the extension of the applicable Existing Maturity Date pursuant to this paragraph (and in any event, no later than such Existing Maturity Date)).

SECTION 2.22. Illegality. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article II, if, after the Effective Date, the adoption or taking effect of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the implementation, interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the implementation, interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its applicable lending office) to make, maintain or fund its Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans or for any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit, in any currency and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Company, whereupon until such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies the Company and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which such Lender or Issuing Bank agrees to do promptly upon becoming aware that such circumstances no longer exist), the obligation of such Lender to make Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, as the case may be, or of such Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit in such currency shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section, any such Lender shall designate a different applicable lending office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If any such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the applicable Borrowers shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, as the case may be, together with accrued interest thereon. Concurrently with prepaying each such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, as the case may be, each such Borrower shall borrow an ABR Loan in an equal principal amount from such Lender (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, as the case may be, of the other Lenders), and such Lender shall make such an ABR Loan.

Neither the Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Agent by the Company, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, and neither the Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder, or the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith;

(ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any Borrower or any Lender or the occurrence of any Default; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items 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 (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument, document or writing furnished in connection herewith.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent shall have no obligation to take any action under Section 5.06. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan or any issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, reasonably prior to the making of such Loan or such issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Agent shall not have any liability arising from, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered on account of, any determination by the Agent (a) that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or the effective date of such status, it being further understood and agreed that the Agent shall not have any obligation to determine whether any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (b) of the Foreign Currency Overnight Rate, the Central Bank Rate or the Central Bank Rate Adjustment or (c) under Section 1.04.

SECTION 7.06. Credit Decision. Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Arranger, the Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any

Arranger, the Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or an Accession Agreement, 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 and Issuing Banks on the Effective Date.

SECTION 7.07. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company. 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 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least US$500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no successor Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 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 Banks and the Company, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, provided that (i) all payments required to be made hereunder to the retiring Agent for the account of any Person other than the retiring Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the retiring Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article VII and Section 9.03 shall inure to 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 it was acting as the Agent.

SECTION 7.08. Arrangers, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agents. The Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agents shall, in their capacities as such, have no responsibilities, obligations or liabilities under any Loan Document.

SECTION 7.09. Agent Designees and Sub-Agents. (a) The Agent is hereby authorized to designate one of its Affiliates (the “Agent Designee”) to perform the functions of the Agent with respect to Loans, Borrowings and Letters of Credit denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency. The Agent shall designate the Agent Designee by notice to the Company and the Lenders (and may from time to time replace the Agent Designee with any of its Affiliates by notice to the Company and the Lenders). Upon and after any such designation, (i) copies of all Notices of Borrowing, Interest Election Requests and all other notices required to be delivered hereunder with respect to Designated Foreign Currency Borrowings shall be delivered to both the Agent and the Agent Designee and (ii) all references hereunder to the “Agent” in the context of Loans, Borrowings and Letters of Credit denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency shall be construed as including references to the Agent Designee.

(b) The Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VII 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 in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any of its sub-agents, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

SECTION 7.10. Bankruptcy or Similar Process. 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 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:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposure and all other obligations under this Agreement 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 Banks and the Agent allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) 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 and each Issuing Bank 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 or the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Agent, under this Agreement (including under Section 9.03). 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 any Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank, or to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

SECTION 7.11. Certain ERISA Matters. 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 not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(a) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) 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,

(b) 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,

(c) (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

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

In addition, unless either the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with 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 not, for the avoidance

of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers, that the Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

SECTION 7.12. Erroneous Payments. (a) Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (i) if the Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing Bank that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or Issuing Bank 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 or such Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such Lender or Issuing Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall promptly, but in no event later than one 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 or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at the Overnight Rate and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or Issuing Bank 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 or Issuing Bank under this paragraph shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Agent or any of its Affiliates (i) 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 (ii) 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 and Issuing Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one 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 or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at the Overnight Rate.

(c) The Borrowers hereby agree that (i) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender or Issuing Bank with respect to such amount and (ii) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers.

(d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.12 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.

ARTICLE VIII

GUARANTEE

In order to induce the Guaranteed Parties to extend credit to the Borrowing Subsidiaries hereunder, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the Obligations of the Borrowing Subsidiaries. The Company further agrees that the due and punctual payment of the Obligations of the Borrowing Subsidiaries may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any Obligation.

The Company waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrowing Subsidiary of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Company under this Article VIII shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrowing Subsidiary under the provisions of this Agreement, any Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or release of any Borrowing Subsidiary from, any of the terms or provisions applicable to any Borrowing Subsidiary of this Agreement, any Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument; (d) the failure or delay of any Guaranteed Party to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary; (e) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary; or (f) any other act (other than payment or performance of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary), omission or delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Company or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Company as guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of the Company to subrogation.

The Company further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a promise of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding of any Borrowing Subsidiary shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations of such Borrowing Subsidiary or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Guaranteed Party to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Guaranteed Party in favor of any Borrower or Subsidiary or any other Person.

The obligations of the Company under this Article VIII shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary, any impossibility in the performance of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary, any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary or otherwise.

The Company further agrees that its obligations under this Article VIII shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation of any Borrowing Subsidiary is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Guaranteed Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Guaranteed Party may have at law or in equity against the Company by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrowing Subsidiary to pay any Obligation of such Borrowing Subsidiary when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Company hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Agent for distribution to the applicable Guaranteed Parties in cash an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligation. The Company further agrees that if payment in respect of any such Obligation shall be due in a currency other than US Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York and if, by reason of any legal prohibition, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or other event, payment of such Obligation in such currency or at such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the reasonable judgment of any Guaranteed Party, not consistent with the protection of its rights or interests, then, at the election of such Guaranteed Party, the Company shall make payment of such Obligation in US Dollars (based upon the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on the date of payment) and/or in New York, and shall indemnify such Guaranteed Party against any losses or expenses (including losses or expenses resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates) that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.

Upon payment in full by the Company of any Obligation of any Borrowing Subsidiary, each Guaranteed Party shall, in a reasonable manner, assign to the Company the amount of such Obligation owed to such Guaranteed Party and so paid, such assignment to be pro tanto to the extent to which the Obligation in question was discharged by the Company, or, if requested by the Company, make such disposition thereof as the Company shall direct (all without recourse to any Guaranteed Party and without any representation or warranty by any Guaranteed Party). Upon payment by the Company of any sums as provided above, all rights of the Company against any Borrowing Subsidiary arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations owed by such Borrowing Subsidiary to the Guaranteed Parties.

No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System. In no event shall the Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person 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 the Borrowers’ or the Agent’s transmission of Communications through an Electronic System.

SECTION 9.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof, 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, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.04, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the

100

specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent and the Arrangers, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Agent and the Arrangers, in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents, any waiver or consent under any Loan Document or any amendment hereof or thereof or any Default or alleged Default under any Loan Document and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, including fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify the Agent, each Arranger, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the respective Related Parties of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all Liabilities and expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee or any other party to this Agreement shall be designated a party thereto, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether initiated by an Indemnitee, any party hereto or any other Person) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of (i) any Loan Document or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit hereunder (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or (ii) release of Hazardous Substances, or any other liability under applicable Environmental Law, relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective properties or operations; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any such Liabilities or expenses to the extent incurred (A) as the result of any such Indemnitee’s (or its Related Parties) gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (B) by a Lender or its Related Parties in connection with a proceeding with any other Lender or any assignee or Participant that (x) arises in connection with an assignment, participation or other transfer pursuant to Section 9.05, (y) does not relate to any action taken or failed to be taken by any Borrower and (z) does not relate to any right or obligation of any Borrower.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Company nor any Borrowing Subsidiary shall assert, or permit any of its Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information

101

transmission systems (including the Internet and Electronic Systems), except to the extent such damages arise from such Lender-Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing does not constitute a waiver of any claim or other right with respect to any breach by any Lender-Related Person of its obligations under Section 9.14). No party hereto, or any of its Related Parties, shall have any Liability, on any theory of Liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof, and no party hereto shall assert, or permit any of its Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and each hereby waives, any such Liability (it being understood and agreed that nothing in this sentence shall relieve the Company or the Borrowing Subsidiaries of their obligations under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9.03 or any other indemnity or reimbursement provision set forth in any Loan Document).

(d) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to the Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting their obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity. For purposes of this Section, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Credit Exposures and unused Commitments.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04. Amendments and Waivers. (a) Except as provided in Section 9.04(b), none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company, the Agent and the Required Lenders and, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Agent and the Borrower or Borrowers that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that (i) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Company and the Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, (A) such amendment does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or (B) the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written

notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment and (ii) no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender, or change the currency in which Loans are available thereunder, without the written consent of such Lender, (B) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, reduce the rate of interest thereon or reduce any fees payable hereunder without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (C) postpone the scheduled maturity date of any Loan or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or permit the issuance of any Letter of Credit expiring after the Maturity Date, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (D) change Section 2.16(b) or 2.16(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender, (E) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision of this Agreement specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), (F) release or limit the obligations of the Company in respect of its Guarantee under Article VIII, or (G) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans or participating in Letters of Credit of either Class differently than those holding Loans or participating in Letters of Credit of the other Class, without the written consent of Lenders representing a majority in interest of such affected Class; provided further that (1) no such agreement shall amend, modify, extend or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the Agent or any Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of the Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and (2) any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Lenders of one Class (but not the Lenders of the other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company and the percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraph (a) of this Section:

(i) no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of (A) any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) of paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification or (B) in the case of any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section, any Lender that

103

receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by, and all other amounts owing to, such Lender or accrued for the account of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at the time such amendment, waiver or other modification becomes effective and whose Commitments terminate by the terms and upon the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or other modification;

(ii) the LC Commitment of any Issuing Bank may be reduced or increased by an agreement between such Issuing Bank and the Company (such increase or decrease to become effective upon the delivery of a notice thereof, executed by such Issuing Bank and the Company, to the Agent);

(iii) this Agreement may be amended in a manner provided in Sections 2.04(j), 2.04(k), 2.07(d), 2.07(e), 2.12(b) and 2.21(a);

(iv) any amendment of the definition of the term “Applicable Rate” pursuant to the last sentence of such definition shall require only the written consent of the Company and the Required Lenders; and

(v) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended in the manner provided in Section 2.19 and, in connection with any Borrowing Subsidiary becoming a party hereto, this Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto) may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Company and the Agent to provide for such technical modifications as they determine to be necessary or advisable in connection therewith.

(c) The Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written consent of any Lender, execute amendments, waivers or other modifications on behalf of such Lender. Any amendment, waiver or other modification effected in accordance with this Section 9.04 shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender.

(d) Each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby acknowledges that any amendment, waiver or other modification to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be effected as set forth in this Section 9.04, that no consent of such Borrowing Subsidiary shall be required to effect any such amendment, waiver or other modification and that such Borrowing Subsidiary shall be bound by this Agreement or any other Loan Document (if it is theretofore a party thereto) as so amended, waived or modified.

SECTION 9.05. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), except, in the case of any Borrowing Subsidiary that merges or consolidates with the Company or another Borrowing Subsidiary, as expressly contemplated by Section 5.04 or 5.09, or as expressly contemplated by Section 5.09(b),

104

and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in this Section), the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Agent Designees and the Related Parties of any of the Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents, the sub-agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company, the Agent, the Issuing Banks or any other Lender, at any time grant to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Company and the Agent, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, which obligations shall remain unchanged, and the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document described in clause (ii) of the first proviso to Section 9.04(a) without the consent of the Participant. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 2.18 with respect to its participating interest (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.15(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(f) shall be delivered to the granting Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.16 and 2.17 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.17(b) with respect to any Participant. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by paragraph (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this paragraph (b). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under any Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans,

105

Commitments or other obligations under this any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loans, Commitments or other obligations are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as the Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (c)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of (A) the Company; provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for assignments to an Affiliate of such Lender, any other Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Eligible Assignee, (B) the Agent; provided that no consent of the Agent shall be required for assignments to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, and (C) each Issuing Bank.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not be less than US$5,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Agent otherwise consents; provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

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

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Electronic System), together with a processing and recordation fee of US$3,500;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws; and

106

(E) if the assignee is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a State thereof, it shall deliver to the Company and the Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 2.15.

(iii) Subject to the satisfaction of all requirements of this Section, including the acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (c)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Electronic System) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 2.18 (in each case, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring on or prior to the effective date of such assignment) and of Section 9.03).

(iv) The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it that records the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Issuing Bank or Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon receipt by the Agent of an Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Electronic System) executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that the Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Agent reasonably believes that such Assignment and Assumption lacks any written consent required by this Section or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in)

107

such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph, and following such recording, unless otherwise determined by the Agent (such determination to be made in the sole discretion of the Agent, which determination may be conditioned on the consent of the assigning Lender and the assignee), shall be effective notwithstanding any defect in the Assignment and Assumption relating thereto. Each assigning Lender and the assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Electronic System), shall be deemed to have represented to the Agent that all written consents required by this Section with respect thereto (other than the consent of the Agent) have been obtained and that such Assignment and Assumption is otherwise duly completed and in proper form, and each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Electronic System), shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Agent that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee and that it shall have complied with the requirements of clause (E) of paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, no assignee or Participant of any Lender’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 or 2.15 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless (i) such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the applicable participation or interest was acquired, (ii) such transfer is made with the Company’s prior written consent or (iii) by reason of the provisions of Section 2.18 requiring such Lender to designate a different applicable lending office under certain circumstances.

SECTION 9.06. Collateral. Each of the Lenders represents to the Agent and each of the other Lenders that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

108

(b) Each of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, or any appellate court from any thereof, for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents brought by it or any of its Affiliates shall be brought, and shall be heard and determined, exclusively in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court; provided that any claim brought by any Lender or Issuing Bank or the Agent, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, in respect of any such claim relating to a Borrowing Subsidiary that is incorporated in, or conducts business in, a jurisdiction outside the United States may be brought, and may be heard and determined, in a court in the jurisdiction in which such Borrowing Subsidiary is incorporated or conducts business. Each of the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agent agrees that a final judgment in any such proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c) Each of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in a court referred to in paragraph (b) above and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(d) Each of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agent hereby irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01(a). Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(e) Each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers the Company as, and the Company hereby accepts the same and agrees to act as, its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents that may be served in any such action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to any Borrowing Subsidiary in care of the Company at the Company’s address used for purposes of giving notices under Section 9.01, and each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Company to accept such service on its behalf.

(f) In the event any Borrowing Subsidiary or any of its assets has or hereafter acquires, in any jurisdiction in which judicial proceedings may at any time be commenced with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any immunity from jurisdiction, legal proceedings, attachment (whether before or after judgment), execution, judgment or setoff, such Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives such immunity.

109

SECTION 9.08. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including the commitments of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates under the commitment letter entered into in connection with the credit facility established hereby and any commitment advices submitted by them (but do not supersede any other provisions of such commitment letter or any fee letter referred to therein that do not by the terms of such documents terminate upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all of which provisions shall remain in full force and effect). This Agreement shall become effective on the date on which the Agent has received counterparts hereof signed by each of the parties hereto (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been received, written confirmation from such party in form satisfactory to the Agent of the execution of a counterpart hereof by such party); provided that the effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01.

(b) Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 9.01), certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery”, and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form (including deliveries by email .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent shall not be under any obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (x) to the extent the Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Agent and each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower

110

without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic signature and (y) upon the request of the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower hereby (a) agrees that, for all purposes, including in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and any Borrower, Electronic Signatures transmitted by emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (b) agrees that the Agent and each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (c) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (d) waives any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any Liabilities arising solely from the Agent’s and/or any Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of any Borrower to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

SECTION 9.09. Survival. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.18 and 9.03 and Articles VII and VIII shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Agent a written consent to the release of the Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of the applicable Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuing Bank, or being supported by a letter of credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of determining whether the Company is required to comply with Article V hereof, but excluding Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.18 and 9.03 and any expense reimbursement or indemnity provisions set forth in any other Loan Document), and the Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.04(d) or 2.04(f).

111

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANKS AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANKS AND THE LENDERS (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY HERETO 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 AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto (including any Borrowing Subsidiary) agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency which may be so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 9.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 9.12. 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 which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by

112

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 9.13. Certain Notices. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act and/or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

SECTION 9.14. Confidentiality. Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ Related Parties, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential or shall be subject to a professional or employment obligation of confidentiality applying to the Information), (b) to the extent required by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, provided that as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof the Agent or such Lender shall notify the Company of the receipt of such subpoena or other legal process if permitted by applicable law, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or their respective advisors in connection with such transaction, (ii) an actual or prospective credit insurance provider or to such provider’s advisors or (iii) any actual or prospective counterparty to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower, any Borrowing Subsidiary and its obligations or to such counterparty’s advisors in connection with such transaction, (g) with the consent of the Company, (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, (ii) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers or (iii) is independently developed by the Agent or any Lender without reference to the Information and (i) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or their business, other than (i) any such

information that is available to the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers and (ii) information as to the existence and purpose of this Agreement, the nature and amount of the credit facilities established hereby and the titles and roles of JPMorgan and the Arrangers routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Nothing in any Loan Document shall prevent disclosure of any confidential information or other matter to the extent that preventing that disclosure would otherwise cause any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, or any transaction carried out in connection with any transaction contemplated thereby, to become an arrangement described in Part II A 1 of Annex IV of Directive 2011/16/EU.

SECTION 9.15. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrowers agree that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. The Borrowers understand that the Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrowers. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrowers hereby agree not to assert any claims against any of the Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks or their respective Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

SECTION 9.16. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.17. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement 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.

SECTION 9.18. Non-Public Information. (a) Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by any Borrower or the Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain MNPI. Each

114

Lender represents to the Borrowers and the Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and that it will handle MNPI in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain MNPI in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws.

(b) The Borrowers and each Lender acknowledge that, if information furnished by the Borrowers pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement is being distributed by the Agent through an Electronic System, (i) the Agent may post any information that any Borrower has indicated as containing MNPI solely on that portion of the Electronic System as is designated for Private Side Lender Representatives and (ii) if the Borrowers have not indicated whether any information furnished by any of them pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement contains MNPI, the Agent reserves the right to post such information solely on that portion of the Electronic System as is designated for Private Side Lender Representatives. Each of the Borrowers agrees to specify whether any information furnished by such Borrower to the Agent pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement contains MNPI, and the Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such specification by the Borrowers without liability or responsibility for the independent verification thereof.

SECTION 9.19. Termination of Existing Credit Agreement. On the Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement (including the “Commitments” thereunder, but excluding Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.18 and 9.03 and Articles VII and VIII thereof insofar as they relate to events prior to the Effective Date) shall be terminated pursuant to Section 2.09 thereof. The undersigned Lenders, constituting at least the “Required Lenders” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, waive that notice required under such Section 2.09 for such termination be given prior to the prepayment of loans or commitments thereunder.

SECTION 9.20. Acknowledgment 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 the parties hereto, 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 an Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Power by any Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that 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 cancelation 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, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares

115

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 any Resolution Authority.

SECTION 9.21. Acknowledgment Regarding any Supported QFCs. (a) To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States).

(b) 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.

116

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

To each of the Lenders and

the Agent party to the

Credit Agreement referred to below

c/o JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent

383 Madison Avenue New York,

New York 10179

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] counsel to each entity listed on Schedule I attached hereto (each, a “New Borrowing Subsidiary”) in connection with the following documents:

(a) Five-Year Credit Agreement dated as of April 6, 2023 (the “Credit Agreement”), among Dover Corporation, the Borrowing Subsidiaries from time to time party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent; and

(b) the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements dated as of [ ], 20[ ] (the “Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements”), among Dover Corporation, each New Borrowing Subsidiary and the Agent.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements and such other documents as we have deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion.

In such examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

As to various questions of fact material to the opinions rendered herein, we have relied upon the statements and representations in the documents which we have examined. We have assumed the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of the documents that we have examined by each party thereto other than the New Borrowing Subsidiaries, that each such other party has the full power, authority and legal right to enter into, and perform its obligations under, each such document to which it is a party, that each such document constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of each such other party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, and that each such other party has satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make such documents enforceable against it. We have further assumed that there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence, and that there are no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties that would, in either case, define, supplement or qualify the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions and qualifications stated herein, it is our opinion that:¹⁷

1. Each New Borrowing Subsidiary is a [INSERT ORGANIZATION TYPE] duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION]. The execution, delivery and performance by each New Borrowing Subsidiary of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement to which it is a party and of the Credit Agreement are within such New Borrowing Subsidiary’s [INSERT PER ORGANIZATION TYPE] powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary [INSERT AS APPLICABLE] action on the part of such New Borrowing Subsidiary. Each Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each New Borrowing Subsidiary that is party thereto and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such New Borrowing Subsidiary, enforceable against such New Borrowing Subsidiary in accordance with its terms.

2. The execution, delivery and performance of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements by the New Borrowing Subsidiaries will not violate (a) any law, statute, rule or regulation of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] or any order of any governmental authority of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] known to us or (b) the New Borrowing Subsidiaries’ Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws [OR INSERT EQUIVALENT UNDER LOCAL LAW].

3. No authorization, action, consent or approval of, registration or filing with or other action by any governmental authority of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] is or will be required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the New Borrowing Subsidiaries of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements.

¹⁷

The form of the opinions that follow are applicable for New Borrowing Subsidiaries that are organized outside the United States, and wording may change as necessary or if part of best practice under local law. The form of the opinions for New Borrowing Subsidiaries that are organized in the United States to be substantially similar to the opinion delivered on the Effective Date pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement, except that such opinions shall not include references to any subsidiaries thereof.

4. It is not necessary under the laws of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] that the Agent, any Agent Designee or any Lender be a resident of, domiciled in or licensed, qualified or entitled to do business in [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] (a) by reason of the execution or performance of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements or (b) in order to enable any of them to enforce their respective rights and remedies under any Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements, and none of them is or will be deemed to be resident, domiciled, carrying on business or subject to taxation in [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] solely by reason of the execution, performance or enforcement of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements.

5. The New York governing law clauses set forth in such Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements are valid, binding and enforceable under the laws of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION].

6. Any judgment or award by the New York Courts in an action, suit or proceeding against any New Borrowing Subsidiary arising out of any of the Loan Documents to which it is party would be recognized and enforced in [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] and any political subdivision thereof, whether denominated in the currency of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] or otherwise, and it would not be necessary to commence new proceedings in [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] other than a proceeding in which proof of such judgment or award is submitted.

7. No [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] ad valorem stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax, registration tax or other tax, fee or charge is payable on the execution or enforceability of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements [that has not been paid].

8. No authorization, consent, approval, or filing with any court or governmental authority of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] is required for the Agent to remit payments or the proceeds of enforcement actions taken under or made with respect to the [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] to other jurisdictions.

9. To our knowledge, there is no application or proceeding pending regarding the liquidation or dissolution of the New Borrowing Subsidiary.

We are admitted to practice in [SPECIFY JURISDICTION]. We express no opinion as to matters under or involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION].

[Insert here qualifications, if any, to the above opinions, necessary or part of best practice under local law.]

This opinion letter is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated. This opinion letter is rendered solely to you in connection with the above matter.
