FIRST AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made as of June 21, 2024 by and between LANDSTAR SYSTEM HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”), under that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2022, by and among the Borrower, Landstar System, Inc., as “Parent”, the Subsidiaries of the Borrower party thereto, the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as Lenders and the Administrative Agent (as in effect immediately prior to giving effect to this Amendment, the “Existing Credit Agreement”, and as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS, as contemplated by Section 1.5 of the Existing Credit Agreement, a Benchmark Transition Event for the CDOR Rate Benchmark for Canadian Dollars is anticipated to occur immediately after June 28, 2024;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(y) of the Existing Credit Agreement, 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 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 under the Credit Agreement and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders;

WHEREAS, pursuant to clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Benchmark Replacement for Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be the sum of (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the applicable Agreed Currency at such time in the United States and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

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

WHEREAS, accordingly, in connection with the previously described requirements of the definitions of “Benchmark Replacement” and “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have selected (1) the forward-looking term rate based on the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average administered and published by the Bank of Canada as the Benchmark Replacement for Canadian Dollars (such selection, the “Specified Benchmark Replacement”), and (2) Benchmark Replacement Adjustments for such Specified Benchmark Replacement equal to (x) 0.29547% for a one month interest period and (y) 0.32138% for a three month interest period (together, the “Specified Benchmark Replacement Adjustments”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent has the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement 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 the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; and

WHEREAS, this Amendment constitutes Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes with respect to the replacement of the CDOR Rate with the Specified Benchmark Replacement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, the terms and conditions set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereby agree as follows:

1. Amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement. Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2 below, the Existing Credit Agreement (excluding all Exhibits and Schedules thereto) is hereby amended to delete the stricken text (indicated in the same manner as the following example: ~~stricken text~~) and to add the double-underlined text (indicated in the same manner as the following example: double-underlined text) as set forth on Annex I hereto (the Existing Credit Agreement as so amended being referred to as the “Amended Credit Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, Exhibits and Schedules to the Credit Agreement are not amended hereby but are attached to Annex I for the ease of reference and shall constitute part of the Amended Credit Agreement

2. Conditions of Effectiveness. Subject to the following conditions (and only so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received written notice of objection to the Specified Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders by 5:00 p.m. on June 28, 2024), this Amendment shall become effective immediately after such time on June 28, 2024 (unless, contrary to expectations, the Benchmark Replacement Date for the CDOR Rate does not occur on such date)(the “Amendment Effective Date”):

(a) the Administrative Agent’s execution and delivery of a counterpart hereto on the date hereof; and

(b) the Borrower’s execution and delivery of a counterpart hereto on the date hereof.

3. Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement; Reaffirmation.

(b) Except as specifically amended above, the Amended Credit Agreement and all other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, hereby (i) agrees that this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall not limit or diminish the obligations of any Loan Party arising under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, (ii) reaffirms the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Amended Credit Agreement and each and every other Loan Document to which it is a party and (iii) reaffirms all Liens on the Collateral which have been granted by the Loan Parties in favor of the Administrative Agent (for itself and the other Lenders and Affiliates thereof in accordance with the Loan Documents) pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, and all filings made with a Governmental Authority in connection therewith. This Amendment is not intended to and shall not constitute a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement or any of the Obligations or Secured Obligations.

(c) Except as expressly provided herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith.

(d) This Amendment is a Loan Document.

4. [Reserved].

5. Governing Law. The provisions of Section 10.11 of the Amended Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated herein as if fully set forth herein, mutatis mutandis.

6. Execution. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 10.8(b) of the Amended Credit Agreement shall apply to this Amendment.

8. Notices Under Section 2.11. Delivery of a copy of this Amendment to the Borrower and the Lenders (including pursuant to the Platform or other electronic transmission) shall constitute notice to any such Person (a) under Section 2.11(b) of the Existing Credit Agreement of the selection of the Specified Benchmark Replacement as a replacement for the CDOR Rate Benchmark under the Existing Credit Agreement, and (b) under Section 2.11(d) of the Existing Credit Agreement of the implementation of the Specified Benchmark Replacement and the effectiveness of the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, in each case, referenced herein.

9. Existing CDOR Loans. Notwithstanding anything in this Amendment or any other Loan Document to the contrary, interest on all Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars and outstanding immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Date, if any, shall continue to accrue and be paid based upon the “CDOR Rate” applicable pursuant to the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement solely until the expiration of the current “Interest Period” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement and taking into account any grace periods or extensions of such “Interest Period” approved

prior to the Amendment Effective Date) applicable thereto (at which time such Term Benchmark Loans may be reborrowed as or converted to Term Benchmark Borrowings bearing interest based on the Adjusted Term CORRA Rate in accordance with Section 2.6 of the Amended Credit Agreement).

If the ABR is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.11 (for the avoidance of doubt, only until any amendment has become effective pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(i)), then the ABR shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above.

“Administrative Agent”: collectively, JPMCB (including its branches), in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder, and any Affiliates of JPMCB as may be designated in writing by it to the Borrower and the Lenders as performing duties of such Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit denominated in any Foreign Currencies, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to Section 9.9.

“Administrative Questionnaire”: with respect to each Lender, an administrative questionnaire in the form prepared by the Administrative Agent and submitted to the Administrative Agent duly completed by such Lender.

ARTICLE II. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS

Section 2.1. Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Credit Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding, when added to (i) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the then outstanding L/C Obligations and (ii) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all Swing Line Loans then outstanding (net of the portion, if any, of the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans that are applied at the time they are made to repay such Swing Line Loans) not to exceed the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit

Commitment; provided that no Revolving Credit Loan may be made if, after giving effect to any application of the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan, the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Exposures at such time would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments at such time. During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Revolving Credit Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that, no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Revolving Credit Loans as required.

(b) Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall consist of (i) Term Benchmark Loans, (ii) RFR Loans, or (iii) ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.6. Funding of each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be made in the Agreed Currency specified by the Borrower in the Borrowing Notice with respect to such Revolving Credit Borrowing; provided that, no Revolving Credit Borrowing may be requested in a Foreign Currency if the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all outstanding Term Benchmark Borrowings and RFR Borrowings denominated in Foreign Currencies (including the Term Benchmark Borrowing then being requested) and the Dollar Equivalent amount of all L/C Obligations denominated in Foreign Currencies that are then outstanding would exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit; and provided further that funding of each ABR Borrowing shall only be made in Dollars.

Section 2.2. Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowings.

(a) The Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Credit Commitments during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period on any Business Day; provided that, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of each requested Revolving Credit Borrowing (each a “Borrowing Notice”), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iii) whether the Borrowing is to consist of Term Benchmark Loans, RFR Loans or ABR Loans, and (iv) if a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing, the currency of such Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing, as applicable, and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the length of the initial Interest Period therefor. Any such Borrowing Notice given with respect to a Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency must be in writing; any such Borrowing Notice given with respect to a Revolving Credit Borrowing denominated in Dollars, if given by means other than written notice, shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrower. Each ABR Borrowing, each RFR Borrowing and each Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and a whole multiple of $100,000. Each Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be in a minimum amount in such Foreign Currency that is the Approximate Equivalent Amount of $1,000,000 and a whole multiple in such Foreign Currency that is the Approximate Equivalent Amount of $100,000. If no election as to the currency of a Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be made in Dollars. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term Benchmark Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(b) To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by submitting a Borrowing Notice (a)(i)(x) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars, not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (y) in the case of an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars, not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time five Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing and (ii) (x) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars, not later than ~~1:00 p.m~~12:00 p.m. New York City time three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (y) in the case of an RFR Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, five (5) RFR Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable and shall be signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.

(c) Upon receipt of any Borrowing Notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Each Lender will make the amount of its Applicable Percentage of each Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Applicable Payment Office prior to 4:00 p.m. (Local Time, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans being funded in a Foreign Currency) on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available and in the applicable currency. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or, if such Loan is denominated in a Foreign Currency, foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan (and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions of Sections 2.13 through 2.18 shall apply to such Affiliate to the same extent as to such Lender); provided that, any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such Borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Borrower be permitted to elect a Borrowing bearing interest atbased on Daily Simple SOFR, Daily Simple CORRA or a Central Bank Rate (it being understood and agreed that Daily Simple SOFR and the Central Bank Rate shall only apply to the extent provided in Sections 2.6(d) (solely with respect to the Central Bank Rate), 2.11(a) and 2.11(f), as applicable, and Daily Simple CORRA shall only apply following a Benchmark Transition Event and Benchmark Replacement Date with respect to Term CORRA).

Section 2.3. Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (subject to Section 2.23(a) as to any Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee for the period from and including the first day of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period to the Termination Date, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Termination Date, or on such earlier date as the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 2.3 only, such Lender’s (including the Swing Line Lender’s) Applicable Percentage of any outstanding Swing Line Loans shall be excluded in the calculation of such Lender’s Available Revolving Credit Commitment.

Section 2.4. Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that, no such termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Line Loans made on the effective date thereof, (a) the Outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit of all Lenders would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders in effect after such requested reduction or (b) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender at such time would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender at such time. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. Each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments.

Section 2.5. Swing Line Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, Section 2.23(d)), and provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Swing Line Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make swing line loans (individually, a “Swing Line Loan”, and collectively, the “Swing Line Loans”) available to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $50,000,000; provided that, the Swing Line Lender shall not issue any Swing Line Loan if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit of all Lenders would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders then in effect. Amounts borrowed by the Borrower under this Section 2.5 may be repaid and, through but excluding the Termination Date, reborrowed. All Swing Line Loans shall be denominated in Dollars and made as ABR Loans and shall not be entitled to be converted into Term Benchmark Loans. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be in an amount equal to $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. The Borrower shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender prior to 1:00 p.m. New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date) specifying the Borrowing Date and the amount of the requested Swing Line Loan. Each such notice given by means other than written notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrower. The proceeds of each Swing Line Loan made by the Swing Line Lender in its sole and absolute discretion will be made available by the Swing Line Lender to the Borrower by crediting the account of the Borrower with such proceeds.

(b) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, may, and on each Monday (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) shall, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf) request prior to 12:00 p.m., that each Lender, including the Swing Line Lender, make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of the Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless any of the events described in Section 8.1(f) shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of paragraph (c) of this Section 2.5 shall apply), each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender prior to 2:30 p.m. New York City time in funds immediately available on the date such notice is given. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans. Each Revolving Credit Loan made pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) shall be an ABR Loan.

(c) If prior to the making of the Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.5(b) one of the events described in Section 8.1(f) shall have occurred, each Lender will on the date such Revolving Credit Loans were to have been made, purchase an undivided participating interest in the Refunded Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of such Refunded Swing Line Loan. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender will grant to such Lender a Swing Line Loan participation as of the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

(d) Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Refunded Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it.

(e) Each Lender’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or anyone else for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the Borrower or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(f) The Swing Line Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swing Line Lender and the successor Swing Line Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swing Line Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid interest accrued in respect of Swing Line Loans for the account of the replaced Swing Line Lender pursuant to this Agreement. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Swing Line Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Swing Line Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans made thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Swing Line Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swing Line Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swing Line Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the Swing Line Lender hereunder, the replaced Swing Line Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swing Line Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swing Line Loans.

(g) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swing Line Lender, the Swing Line Lender may resign as Swing Line Lender at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, the Swing Line Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.05(f) above.

Section 2.6. Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and Agreed Currency specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Notice. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.6. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section 2.6 shall not apply to Swing Line Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.6, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.2 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such request for conversion shall be irrevocable and shall be signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section 2.6 shall not be construed to permit the Borrower to (i) change the currency of any Borrowing or (ii) elect an Interest Period for Term Benchmark Loans that does not comply with Section 2.2 or the definition of Interest Period.

(c) Notices of conversion or continuation must specify the amount and the Agreed Currency of the Revolving Credit Borrowing being continued, and the Interest Period applicable upon such continuation. Any such notice given with respect to a Revolving Credit Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency must be in writing; any such notice given with respect to a Revolving Credit Borrowing denominated in Dollars, if given by means other than written notice, shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Term Benchmark Borrowings or RFR Borrowings may be continued as provided herein; provided that, no Term Benchmark Borrowings or RFR Borrowings may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Required Lenders have, determined that such a continuation is not appropriate.

(d) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely notice of conversion or continuation with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing in Dollars prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be deemed to have an Interest Period that is one month. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete a notice of conversion or continuation with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing in a Foreign Currency prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Term Benchmark Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected that such Term Benchmark Borrowing shall automatically be continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing in its original Agreed Currency with an Interest Period of one month at the end of such Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, (x) each Term Benchmark Borrowing and each RFR Borrowing, in each case denominated in Dollars, shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (y) each Term Benchmark Borrowing and each RFR Borrowing, in each case denominated in a Foreign Currency shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars shall either be (1) converted to an ABR Borrowing denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign Currency) at the end of the Interest Period therefor or (2) prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period in full; provided that if no election is made by the Borrower by the earlier of (A) the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice and (B) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Term Benchmark Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above. Each request for a conversion or continuation under this Section 2.6 shall be irrevocable and shall be signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not be construed to permit the Borrower to elect that any Borrowing be converted to bear interest based on Daily Simple SOFR, Daily Simple CORRA or a Central Bank Rate (it being understood and agreed that Daily Simple SOFR and the Central Bank Rate shall only apply to the extent provided in Sections 2.6(d) (solely with respect to the Central Bank Rate) 2.11(a) and 2.11(f), as applicable, and Daily Simple CORRA shall only apply following a Benchmark Transition Event and Benchmark Replacement Date with respect to Term CORRA).

Section 2.7. Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Borrowings. All Borrowings, all conversions and continuations of Borrowings, and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, (a) each Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and a whole multiple of $100,000, (b) each Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be in a minimum amount in such Foreign Currency that is the Approximate Equivalent Amount of $ 1,000,000 and a whole multiple in such Foreign Currency that is the Approximate Equivalent Amount of $100,000, and (c) there shall be no more than (x) ten (10) Term Benchmark Borrowings denominated in Dollars outstanding at any time, or (y) five (5) Term Benchmark Borrowings or RFR Borrowings denominated in Foreign Currencies outstanding at any time.

Section 2.8. Repayment of Loans; Prepayments; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Termination Date, (ii) to the Swing Line Lender the then unpaid principal amount of any Swing Line Loan as provided in Section 2.5 and on the Termination Date; provided that, on each date that a Revolving Credit Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swing Line Loans then outstanding. All such payments shall be made together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon, and any other amounts owing hereunder.

(b) If at any time (i) the Dollar Equivalent amount of the Outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit of all Lenders exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders then in effect, or (ii) other than solely as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the Dollar Equivalent amount of the Outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit of all Lenders that are denominated in Foreign Currencies (calculated as of the most recent Computation Date) exceeds the Foreign Currency Sublimit, or (iii) solely as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the Dollar Equivalent amount of the Outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit of all Lenders that are denominated in Foreign Currencies (calculated as of the most recent Computation Date) exceeds 105% of the Foreign Currency Sublimit, then, in each case, the Borrower shall, promptly after receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent, repay Borrowings or, if no Borrowings are then outstanding, Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an account with the Administrative Agent in the manner provided in Section 8.2, in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to reduce any such excess over the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or Foreign Currency Sublimit to 0%.

(c) The Borrower may prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part at any time, subject to the terms of this paragraph (c). In each such event, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (with respect to any Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency) or by telephone (with respect to any Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars, and promptly confirmed in writing) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars, not later than 2:30 p.m. New York City time three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, 2:30 p.m. Local Time four Business Days before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 2:30 p.m. New York City time one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iv) in the case of prepayment of a Swing Line Loan, not later than 2:30 p.m. New York City time on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the Type and principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.2 or 2.5, as applicable. Each prepayment of a Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest and by any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.16.

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

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

(f) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) 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 Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay all Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(g) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note, substantially in the form of Exhibit A or Exhibit B hereto, as applicable, and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.6) be represented by one or more Notes in such form.

Section 2.9. Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) The Loans comprising each Term Benchmark Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the ~~CDOR~~Adjusted Term CORRA Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. Each RFR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ~~applicable~~ Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (for RFR Loans denominated in Dollars) or Adjusted Daily Simple CORRA (for RFR Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars), as applicable, plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each ABR Borrowing (including each Swing Line Loan) shall bear interest for each day at a rate per annum equal to the ABR determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans.

(c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Borrowing, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9 plus 2% per annum or (y) in the case of overdue interest, commitment fee or other amount, the rate described in paragraph (b) of this Section plus 2% per annum, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d) If and so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority in respect of any of such Lender’s Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans in any currency other than Dollars, such Lender may require the Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum specified by such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such Loan.

(e) Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (d) above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and notified to the Borrower in the form of a certificate setting forth such additional interest at least five Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the relevant Loan, and such additional interest so notified to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loan.

(f) Failure or delay on the party of any Lender on any occasion to demand additional interest pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such additional interest on any subsequent occasion.

(g) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that, interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.9(c) shall be payable from time to time on demand.

Section 2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest, commitment fees, and Letter of Credit commissions and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that interest whenever it is calculated on the basis of the ABR (based on the Prime Rate), ~~or in respect of a CDOR Rate~~ ~~Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars~~Term CORRA, Daily Simple CORRA or the Canadian Prime Rate, shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be~~, for ABR Loans~~) day year for the actual days elapsed.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.9(a).

Section 2.11. Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

(a) Subject to clauses (b) (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 2.11, if:

(i) the Administrative 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 Rate, the Term SOFR Rate or, the ~~CDOR~~Adjusted Term CORRA Rate or Term CORRA (including because the Relevant Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, Adjusted Daily Simple CORRA, Daily Simple CORRA or RFR for the applicable Agreed Currency; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the ~~CDOR~~Adjusted Term CORRA Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period or (B) at any time, the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, Adjusted Daily Simple CORRA or RFR for the applicable Agreed Currency will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new notice of continuation or conversion in accordance with the terms of Section 2.6 or a new Borrowing Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars, (1) any notice of continuation or conversion that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Borrowing Notice that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a notice of continuation or conversion or a Borrowing Notice, as applicable, for (x) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.11(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.11(a)(i) or (ii) above and (2) any Borrowing Notice that requests an RFR Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a Borrowing Notice, as applicable, for an ABR Borrowing and (B) for Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, any notice of continuation or conversion that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Borrowing Notice that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing or an 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 Borrowings, 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 Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.11(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new notice of continuation or conversion in accordance with the terms of Section 2.6 or a new Borrowing Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.11(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.11(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day, and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan and (B) for Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Foreign Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided, that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Foreign Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Foreign Currency shall, at the Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Borrower on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars at such time, and (2) any RFR Loan, if applicable, shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Foreign Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent

manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Foreign Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected RFR Loans denominated in any Foreign Currency, at the Borrower’s election, shall either (A) be converted into ABR Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign Currency) on such day or (B) be prepaid in full on such day.

(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 Dollars and/or Canadian Dollars for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with 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 Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative 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 and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, with respect to a Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars, if a Term CORRA Reelection Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (b)(ii) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term CORRA Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term CORRA Notice after the occurrence of a Term CORRA Reelection Event and may do so in its sole discretion.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will, in consultation with the Borrower, 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.

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of

Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.11, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.11.

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

(f) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request for (1) a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) any request relating to a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be ineffective. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’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 2.11, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan and (B) for Loans denominated in any Foreign Currency, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Foreign Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Foreign Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any

Foreign Currency shall, at the Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Borrower on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars at such time and (2) any RFR Loan shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Foreign Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Foreign Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected RFR Loans denominated in any Foreign Currency, at the Borrower’s election, shall either (A) be converted into ABR Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign Currency) immediately or (B) be prepaid in full immediately.

Section 2.12. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Revolving Credit Borrowings and each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the respective Applicable Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of any Borrowings shall be made first to the repayment of Swing Line Loans before any payment may be made on account of the principal of the Revolving Credit Borrowings. Subject to the immediately foregoing sentence, each payment (including each prepayment but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any payment made pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15) by the Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Borrowings shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Borrowings then held by the Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees, Letter of Credit commissions or otherwise, shall be made without set off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M. (or, in the case of Term Benchmark Borrowings or RFR Borrowings denominated in Foreign Currencies, 1:00 p.m. Local Time) on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Applicable Payment Office in immediately available funds. If the Borrower shall default in the payment when due of any Term Benchmark Borrowings or RFR Borrowings denominated in any Foreign Currency in the applicable Foreign Currency (or if, after the making of a Borrowing in any Foreign Currency, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which such Borrowing was made no longer exists), the Lenders and the Agent may, at their option, accept such payment to be made to the Lenders in the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Foreign Currency determined in accordance with Section 10.19. With respect to any amount due and payable in any Foreign Currency, the Borrower agrees to hold the Lenders harmless from any losses, if any, that are incurred by the Lenders arising from any change in the value of Dollars in relation to such currency between the date such payment became due and the date of actual payment thereof. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Term Benchmark Borrowings or RFR Borrowings) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its Applicable Percentage of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent in the Agreed Currency, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available in the applicable Agreed Currency to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender on the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, including, without limitation, the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, until the second Business Day after such demand, and thereafter at the greater of the ABR (in the case of any Borrowing denominated in Dollars), or a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, including, without limitation, the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate (in the case of any Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency). A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent in the Agreed Currency by such Lender within two Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount from the Borrower on demand, together with interest thereon at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Borrowings hereunder (in the case of any Borrowing denominated in Dollars), or at the rate per annum then applicable to Term Benchmark Borrowings or RFR Borrowings in the applicable Foreign Currency having an Interest Period of one month (in the case of any Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency). Nothing contained in this Section 2.12(b) shall relieve any Lender that has failed to make available its Applicable Percentage of any Borrowing hereunder from its obligation to do so in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 2.13. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law (other than the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational or governing documents with respect to any Lender) or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the date hereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund any Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans in any requested Agreed Currency, (a) such Lender shall forthwith give telephonic or telecopy notice of such circumstances, confirmed in writing, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn by such Lender when such Lender shall reasonably determine that it shall no longer be illegal for such Lender to make or maintain such Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to such Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans), (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make such Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, continue such Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to such Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, when such a Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is requested, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make an ABR Loan in Dollars or a Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan in another Agreed Currency otherwise permitted to be made, and (c) such Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans then outstanding, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans in Dollars on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.16. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Lender shall, prior to giving such notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, designate a different applicable Lending Office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice and if such designation would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

Section 2.14. Requirements of Law.

(a) If any Change in Law:

(i) subjects any Lender or Issuing Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) to any Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, Letters of Credit, Revolving Credit Commitments, or other obligations under the Loan Documents, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or Issuing Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) or imposes on any Lender or Issuing Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) any other condition, cost or expense (in each case, other than Taxes) affecting its Loans, Letters of Credit, any Reimbursement Obligations owed to it, or its participation in any thereof, or its obligation to advance or maintain Loans, or to issue, extend the expiration date of, or increase the amount of Letters of Credit or participate in any thereof;

and the result of any of the foregoing, as determined by such Lender or Issuing Lender in good faith, is to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) of advancing, continuing, converting, or maintaining any Loan, or maintaining its obligation to make or purchase participation interests in any such Loan, or issuing or maintaining a Letter of Credit or participating therein (or maintaining its obligation to issue, extend the expiration date of, increase the amount of or participate in any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) in connection therewith under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then, subject to Section 2.14(c), from time to time, within ten (10) days after receipt of a certificate from such Lender or Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) pursuant to Section 2.14(c) setting forth in reasonable detail such determination and the basis thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender for such increased costs or reductions suffered.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Lender shall have determined in good faith that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Lender, or its applicable Lending Office, regarding liquidity or capital adequacy, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s capital, or on the capital of any Person controlling such Lender or Issuing Lender, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s or its controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity in effect immediately before such Change in Law or compliance) then, subject to Section 2.14(c), from time to time, within ten (10) days after receipt of a certificate from such Lender or Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) pursuant to Section 2.14(c) setting forth in reasonable detail such determination and the basis thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or such controlling Person for such reductions suffered.

(c) The Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuing Lender that determines to seek compensation or additional interest under this Section 2.14 shall give written notice to the Borrower and, in the case of a Lender or Issuing Lender other than the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, of the circumstances that entitle the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender to such compensation no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender receives actual notice or obtains actual knowledge of the law, rule, order or interpretation or occurrence of another event giving rise to a claim hereunder. In any event the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims accruing prior to the 180th day preceding such written demand, except if the law, rule, order or interpretation giving rise to such request for compensation has retroactive effect, such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended to include such retroactive period. The Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuing Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation, additional interest, and any payment under this Section 2.14, including, without limitation, the designation of a different Lending Office, if such action or designation will not, in the sole judgment of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender made in good faith, be otherwise disadvantageous to it; provided that (i) the foregoing shall not in any way affect the rights of any Lender or Issuing Lender or the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.14, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay the Lender’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such designation of a different Lending Office. A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, claiming compensation or additional interest under this Section 2.14 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and accompanied by a statement prepared by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, describing in reasonable detail the calculations thereof, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender or Issuing Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Section 2.15. Taxes.

(a) Issuing Lender. For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party 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 good faith by 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 amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after the deduction or withholding of Indemnified Taxes has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.15), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had not such deduction or withholding of Indemnified Taxes been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, in each case within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) 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 Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.15(e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders.

(i) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not the Administrative Agent or 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 clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B), (iii)(C) and (ii)(E) below) shall not be required if in the Administrative Agent’s or the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject the Administrative Agent or such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) the Administrative Agent, if it is a U.S. Person, shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that the Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

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

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

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

(4) 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 W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-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 E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(D) the Administrative Agent and any Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent or such Lender becomes the Administrative Agent or a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), 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 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.15(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect thereto) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.15(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.15(h) 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.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(j) Indemnity. If the Administrative Agent shall be required to deduct any Taxes from payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lenders hereunder, it shall make such deductions and shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes attributable to such payments made to such Lender that are paid by the Administrative Agent and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom and with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(k) Lender Cooperation. Upon the request, and at the sole expense, of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender to which the Borrower is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall take reasonable steps to (i) afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest and (ii) cooperate with the Borrower in contesting the imposition of any Taxes giving rise to the requirement to make such payment. The Administrative Agent and each Lender to which the Borrower is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15 agree, upon the request of the Borrower, to use their reasonable efforts to take steps reasonably available to them and acceptable to the Borrower, including designating an alternative lending office or booking the affected Loan through another branch of an affiliate, if, by doing so, any such payment will be avoided or materially reduced, provided that taking such steps results in no additional costs to such Lender or Administrative Agent (other than costs that are paid by the Borrower) and is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or Administrative Agent, in such Administrative Agent or Lender’s sole discretion determined in good faith.

Section 2.16. Indemnity.

(a) With respect to Loans that are not RFR Loans, in the event of (i) 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 or an optional or mandatory prepayment of Loans), (ii) the conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) 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 such notice may be revoked under Section 2.4 and is revoked in accordance therewith), (iv) 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 Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18 or (v) the failure by the Borrower to make any payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letters of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in a Foreign Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(b) With respect to RFR Loans, in the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any RFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or an optional or mandatory prepayment of Loans), (ii) the failure to borrow or prepay any RFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.4 and is revoked in accordance therewith), (iii) the assignment of

any RFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18 or (iv) the failure by the Borrower to make any payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereof) denominated in a Foreign Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.17. Certain Exclusions.

(a) If a Lender changes its applicable Lending Office (unless required to do so by a Governmental Authority or other regulatory authority) and the effect of that change, as of the date of the change, is to cause the Borrower to become obligated to pay any additional amount under Section 2.9(d), 2.14 or 2.15, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount.

(b) If, as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 10.6(b) (but not any such assignment made pursuant to Section 2.18), the Borrower would, immediately upon the effectiveness of such assignment, be obligated to pay an additional amount to the assignee under Section 2.9(d), 2.14 or 2.15, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount.

(c) For purposes of Sections 2.14 and 2.15 (but subject to the proviso in the definition of the term “Change in Law”), the entry into force and implementation of any treaty between the United States and another country that has been signed as of the date hereof but has not yet been ratified shall not be treated as a change in treaty, law, regulation or application or interpretation thereof.

Section 2.18. Replacement of Lender. If the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts described in Section 2.9(d), 2.14 or 2.15 as a result of any condition described in such Section and payment of such amount is demanded by any Lender, then the Borrower may, on ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, cause such Lender to (and such Lender shall) assign pursuant to Section 10.6(b) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Lender or other entity (other than any Person described in Section 10.6(b)(v) or 10.6(b)(vi)) selected by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and JPMCB in its capacity as an Issuing Lender and as the Swing Line Lender for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s Loans and all accrued interest, commitment fees, Letter of Credit commissions, and other fees and amounts then due to such Lender hereunder, together with all losses and expenses of the types referred to in Section 2.16 payable with respect thereto. Each party hereto agrees that (x) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment Agreement executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment Agreement by reference pursuant to an electronic platform approved by the Administrative Agent as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (y) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender; provided further that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

Section 2.19. Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments; Incremental Term Loans.

(a) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on not more than four occasions after the Closing Date and on each occasion for an amount not less than $10,000,000, the Borrower may, upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to each Lender), propose to incur additional Indebtedness under this Agreement in the form of an increase to the Revolving Credit Commitments (each, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment”), provided that the aggregate amount of Incremental Commitments (as defined below) permitted pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall not exceed, at the time the respective Incremental Commitment becomes effective (and after giving effect to the incurrence of Indebtedness in connection therewith and the application of proceeds of any such Indebtedness to refinancing such other Indebtedness) together with Revolving Credit Commitments in effect at such time, the Maximum Commitment Amount. No Lender (or any successor thereto) shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment or to increase any of its other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any decision by a Lender to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment shall be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender.

(b) In any such notice given by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19(a), the Borrower shall designate one or more banks or other financial institutions (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders, but in any event shall not be any Person described in Section 10.6(b)(v) or 10.6(b)(vi)) which at the time agree to, in the case of any such Person that is an existing Lender, increase its Revolving Credit Commitment, and in the case of any other such Person (an “Additional Revolving Lender”), become a party to this Agreement; provided, however, that any prospective Additional Revolving Lender must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and JPMCB in its capacity as an Issuing Lender and as the Swing Line Lender, as determined by each of them acting in good faith.

(c) Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a supplement or joinder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent executed by the Borrower, by each Additional Revolving Lender providing an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment (if any) and by each other Lender whose Revolving Credit Commitment is to be increased (if any), setting forth the new Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lenders and, if applicable, setting forth the agreement of each Additional Revolving Lender to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, together with (i) such Notes as may be requested by any existing Lenders or Additional Revolving Lenders to evidence any increased or new Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) such evidence of appropriate organizational authorization on the part of the Borrower and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower with respect to the increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

(d) Upon the acceptance of any such supplement or joinder by the Administrative Agent, Schedule 1.1(A) shall automatically be deemed amended to reflect the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders after giving effect to any Additional Revolving Lenders and any additions and increases in the Revolving Credit Commitments. The Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the existing Lenders not increasing their respective Revolving Credit Commitments and without further consent or authorization, enter into any such joinder or supplement or amendments to any other Loan Documents for purposes of giving effect to such additional and increased Revolving Credit Commitments.

(e) Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19 that is not pro rata among all existing Lenders, (x) the Borrower shall prepay all outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings in their entirety and, to the extent the Borrower elects to do so and subject to the conditions specified in Section 5.2, the Borrower shall reborrow Revolving Credit Loans from the Lenders (including any Additional Revolving Lenders) in proportion to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to such increase, and (y) effective upon such increase, the amount of the participations held by each Lender in each Letter of Credit and all L/C Obligations then outstanding shall be adjusted automatically such that, after giving effect to such adjustments, the Lenders (including any Additional Revolving Lenders) shall hold participations in each such Letter of Credit and all L/C Obligations in proportion to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to such increase. In connection with any prepayment of Revolving Credit Borrowings pursuant to this Section 2.19(e) on the effective date of an increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, and Letter of Credit commissions in respect of such Revolving Credit Borrowings prepaid or deemed prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.19(e) and any outstanding Letters of Credit and L/C Obligations for which participations therein are deemed adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.19(e), together with any amounts due pursuant to Section 2.16 in respect of such prepayment.

(f) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to each Lender), request to incur additional Indebtedness under this Agreement in the form of a new term loan facility under this Agreement (each such loan, an “Incremental Term Loan”, and the new commitments thereunder, the “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”; any Incremental Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, collectively, the “Incremental Commitments”); provided that the aggregate amount of Incremental Commitments permitted pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall not exceed, at the time the respective Incremental Commitment becomes effective (and after giving effect to the incurrence of Indebtedness in connection therewith and the application of proceeds of any such Indebtedness to refinancing such other Indebtedness) together with Revolving Credit Commitments in effect at such time, the Maximum Commitment Amount. Each Incremental Term Loan Commitment made available pursuant to this Section 2.19(f) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of at least $20,000,000 and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or in such lower minimum amounts or multiples as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion).

(g) Each request from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19(f) shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loan Commitment. The Incremental Term Loan Commitment (or any portion thereof) may be made by any existing Lender or by any other bank or financial institution (other than any Person described in Section 10.6(b)(v) or 10.6(b)(vi))) (any such bank or other financial institution, an “Additional Term Lender”; the Additional Term Lenders, together with any existing Lender providing Incremental Term Loans, each a “Incremental Term Lender”); provided that if such Additional Term Lender is not already a Lender hereunder, an Approved Fund or an Affiliate of a Lender hereunder, the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required. The Borrower may agree, in its sole discretion, to accept a lesser amount of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments than originally requested. In the event there are Lenders and Additional Term Lenders that have committed to an Incremental Term Loan Commitment in excess of the maximum amount requested (or permitted), then the Borrower shall have the right to allocate such commitments on whatever basis the Borrower determines is appropriate.

(h) Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall become commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each applicable Incremental Term Lender. An Incremental Term Loan Commitment Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of Section 2.19(f) through (i).

(i) (i) (A) The Incremental Term Loan Commitments will not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary of the Borrower other than the Subsidiary Guarantors; (B) to the extent the other Obligations are secured, the Incremental Term Loan Commitments will be secured on a pari passu basis by the same Collateral securing the Loans; (C) the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and any Incremental Term Loans drawn thereunder shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Loans; and (D) no Incremental Term Loan Commitment Amendment may provide for any Incremental Term Loan Commitment or any Incremental Term Loans to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that do not also secure the Loans; (ii) no Lender (or any successor thereto) shall have any obligation to provide any portion of any Incremental Term Loan Commitment or any Incremental Term Loan or to increase any of its other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any decision by a Lender to provide any portion of any Incremental Term Loan Commitment or any Incremental Term Loan shall be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender; (iii) the maturity date of any Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be no earlier than the Stated Termination Date; (iv) the interest rate margins, (subject to clause (iii) above) amortization schedule, original issue discount, upfront fees and interest rate floors applicable to the Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders; and (v) the other terms and documentation in respect thereof shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and each applicable Incremental Term Lender and subject to the Administrative Agent’s approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(j) In connection with any Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19, any Additional Revolving Lender or Additional Term Lender becoming a party hereto shall (i) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (ii) in the case of any Additional Revolving Lender or Additional Term Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act.

Section 2.20. Determination of Dollar Equivalents. The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount of each of the following to the extent denominated in a Foreign Currency consistent with Section 10.19:

(a) each Term Benchmark Borrowing as of the date of such Borrowing or, if applicable, the date of conversion/continuation of any Revolving Credit Borrowing as a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing, as applicable;

(b) each RFR Borrowing as of the date of such Borrowing and each date that is on the numerically corresponding day in each calendar month that is one month after the Borrowing of such Loan (or, if there is no such numerically corresponding day in such month, then the last day of such month);

(c) with respect to any Letter of Credit, each of the following: (i) the date on which such Letter of Credit is issued; (ii) the first Business Day of each calendar month; and (iii) the date of any amendment of such Letter of Credit that has the effect of increasing the face amount thereof; and

(d) all Outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit of the Lenders on and as of the last Business Day of each calendar month and, during the continuation of an Event of Default, on any other Business Day (but not more frequently than once each week) elected by the Administrative Agent in its discretion or upon instruction by the Required Lenders.

Each day upon or as of which the Administrative Agent determines Dollar Equivalent amounts as described in the preceding clauses (a) through (e) is herein described as a “Computation Date” with respect to such amounts, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of all such determinations and related computations on such Computation Date.

Section 2.21. Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all applicable conditions referred to in Articles II, III, and V, with respect to any Borrowing or Letter of Credit to be denominated in any Foreign Currency, if (i) there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Borrowing or Letter of Credit any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender make it impracticable for the Borrowing or Letter of Credit to be denominated in the Foreign Currency specified by the Borrower or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender a Dollar Equivalent amount of such Foreign Currency is not readily calculable, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, as applicable, and (a) if a Borrowing, such Borrowing shall not be denominated in such Foreign Currency but shall be made on the requested date in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount (rounded up to the nearest $100,000) of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related request as ABR Loans, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent prior to such Borrowing that (x) it elects not to borrow on such date or (y) it elects to borrow on such date in a different Agreed Currency, as the case may be, in which the denomination of such Loans would in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders be practicable and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related request, and (b) if a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall not be issued in such Foreign Currency, but shall be issued in Dollars in a face amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount of the face amount specified in the related request or Application for such Letter of Credit (rounded up to the nearest $100,000), unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit that (I) it elects not to request the issuance of such Letter of Credit on such date or (II) it elects to have such Letter of Credit issued on such date in a different Agreed Currency, as the case may be, in which the denomination of such Letter of Credit would in the reasonable opinion of the applicable Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders be practicable and in face amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount of the face amount specified in the related request or Application for such Letter of Credit, as the case may be.

Section 2.22. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Foreign Currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency “) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York City office on the Business Day immediately preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of each Loan Party in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency

with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, each Loan Party agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the applicable Loan Party.

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

(a) commitment fees otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.3 shall cease to accrue on the Available Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;

(b) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Defaulting Lender thereof), (i) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.06), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment in its sole discretion); provided that (a) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, delayed or conditioned and (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in any Letter of Credit and Swing Line Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) or (ii) terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, in whole or in part; provided that (a) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (b) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender;

(c) the Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders (or each Lender) or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.1); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification providing for an increase in such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, providing for an extension of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, or requiring the consent of each directly and adversely affected Lender pursuant to Section 10.1 if such Defaulting Lender is a directly and adversely affected Lender;

(d) if any Swing Line Exposure or L/C Exposure exists with respect to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(i) all or any part of the Swing Line Exposure and L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated (effective as of the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting

Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (for the purposes of such reallocation, such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall be disregarded in determining the Non-Defaulting Lenders’ respective Applicable Percentages), but only to the extent that (A) the sum of all Non- Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure and L/C Exposure does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments, (B) after giving effect to any such reallocation, no Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure shall exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (C) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time and the other conditions set forth in Section 5.2 have been satisfied at such time;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, within one Business Day following the Borrower’s receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent, (x) first, prepay the Swing Line Exposures of the Lenders, and (y) second, Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Lenders only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.2 for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any L/C Fee pursuant to Section 3.3(a) with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure that is Cash Collateralized during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is Cash Collateralized by the Borrower;

(iv) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then all L/C Fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender under Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s reallocated L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages after giving effect to such reallocation; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all L/C Fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender under Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s unreallocated L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Lenders, ratably based on the portion of the Fronting Exposure attributable to the Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Lender, until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above;

(e) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swing Line Lender shall be required to fund any Swing Line Loan, and no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless in each case such Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender is satisfied that the related Fronting Exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 8.2, and participating interests in any newly made Swing Line Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among the Non- Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.23(d)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein);

(f) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.2 the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.2 the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or any Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender or as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.23(c)(i). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

(g) in the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, and each Swing Line Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Exposures and L/C Exposures of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such previous Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and on such date such previous Defaulting Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such previous Defaulting Lender to hold such Loans and Swing Line Exposure and L/C Exposure in accordance with its Applicable Percentage; provided, however, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to L/C Fees, commissions or interest accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party while such previous Defaulting Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and

(h) the rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.23 are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent and each Lender, Issuing Lender, Borrower or any other Loan Party may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender (whether or not such Defaulting Lender has subsequently ceased to be a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.23(g)).

ARTICLE III. LETTERS OF CREDIT

Section 3.1. L/C Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4, agrees to issue standby and commercial letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to and shall not issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the Maximum L/C Exposure Amount, (ii) the Outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit of all Lenders denominated in Foreign Currencies would exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit, (iii) any Lender’s Outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, or (iv) the sum of (x) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender at such time plus (y) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of all payments made by such Issuing Lender under Letters of Credit issued by it that have not yet been reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower at such time would exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing clause (iv) (but subject to the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii)), an Issuing Lender that has a Letter of Credit Commitment may, but shall be not obligated to, issue, amend, renew, increase or extend any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the sum of (x) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender at such time plus (y) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of all payments made by such Issuing Lender under Letters of Credit issued by it that have not yet been reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower at such time exceeds its Letter of Credit Commitment. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, increase or reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Lender as provided in the definition of Letter of Credit Commitment; provided that the Borrower shall not reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Lender if, after giving effect of such reduction, the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above shall not be satisfied Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Letter of Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (i) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country, region or territory that, at the time of such funding, is a Sanctioned Country or (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be a standby or commercial letter of credit denominated in an Agreed Currency and issued to support obligations of the Borrower or the respective Subsidiary Guarantor and its respective Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, arising in the ordinary course of business, and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) one year after the date of issuance, and (y) five (5) Business Days prior to the Stated Termination Date; provided, that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for extension thereof for additional one-year periods (but in no event for a period expiring after the date specified in the preceding clause (y)); provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the expiration date of any Letter of Credit may be a date that is no later than one (1) year after the Stated Termination Date so long as not later than thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Termination Date (or such later date as agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender in their sole discretion) the Borrower Cash Collateralizes 105% of the then maximum face amount of such Letter of Credit in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender.

(b) Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the UCP or the ISP, as applicable, and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York.

(c) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if (i) such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law, or otherwise subject it to a Country Risk Event, (ii) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or require that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Closing Date and that such Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it, or (iii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.

Section 3.2. Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor may from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit denominated in an Agreed Currency by delivering to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender at its respective address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any fully completed Application, the applicable Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the fully completed Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower or the respective Subsidiary Guarantor. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower and/or to the respective Subsidiary Guarantor promptly following the issuance thereof, and shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the issuance thereof.

Section 3.3. L/C Fees and Other Charges.

(a) The Borrower or the respective Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each applicable Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants, Letter of Credit fees with respect to each outstanding Letter of Credit, computed for the period from the Closing Date (in the case of the first such payment) or the date on which the last such payment was due (in all other cases) to the date upon which such payment is due hereunder, in each case at a rate equal to the L/C Fee, payable in Dollars to the applicable Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants to be shared ratably among them in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, and (ii) to each Issuing Lender, a Letter of Credit fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, computed for the period from the Closing Date (in the case of the first such payment) or the date on which the last such payment was due (in all other cases) to the date upon which such payment is due hereunder, at a per annum rate (as agreed in writing between the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Lender) applied to the average daily aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit during the period for which such fronting fee is calculated, payable in Dollars to the applicable Issuing Lender. All such fees described in this Section 3.3(a) shall be payable in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date and shall be nonrefundable.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower or the respective Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Issuing Lenders and the L/C Participants all fees received by the Administrative Agent for their respective accounts pursuant to this Section 3.3.

Section 3.4. L/C Participations.

(a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase, and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Applicable Percentage in each such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by it hereunder and the amount of each drawing paid by each such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if any amount is paid under any Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower or the respective Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender upon demand at the Administrative Agent’s Applicable Payment Office an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of such drawing, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed. Any demand pursuant to the preceding sentence received after 2:00 P.M. on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant for the account of an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within two Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, the applicable Overnight Foreign Currency Rate), as quoted by the Issuing Lender, during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not in fact made available to an Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, the amount of such payment in the applicable Agreed Currency or, if so elected by such Issuing Lender, the Dollar Equivalent of such amount, in either case with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum then applicable to Term Benchmark Borrowings and RFR Borrowings hereunder in the applicable Foreign Currency having an Interest Period of one month or, if such Issuing Lender has elected to receive the Dollar Equivalent of such amount, the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Borrowings hereunder. A certificate of the applicable Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and any L/C Participant has paid its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or the respective Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will as soon as practicable distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

Section 3.5. Reimbursement Obligation. The Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender on each date on which an Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower or the respective Subsidiary Guarantor of the date and amount of a drawing under any Letter of Credit that has been paid by such Issuing Lender in an amount equal to (a) the amount of the drawing so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with any payment made by such Issuing Lender under, or with respect to, such Letter of Credit. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Lender at the Applicable Payment Office in immediately available funds in the Agreed Currency in which the Letter of Credit was denominated. Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrower under this Section from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until the next Business Day following the date of such notice, at the ABR then in effect (in the case of amounts payable in Dollars) or at the rate per annum then applicable hereunder to Term Benchmark Borrowings and RFR Borrowings in the applicable Foreign Currency having an Interest Period of one month (in the case of amounts payable in Foreign Currencies), and from such Business Day until payment in full at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding ABR Borrowings that were then overdue (in the case of amounts payable in Dollars) or at the rate then applicable to Term Benchmark Borrowings and RFR Borrowings in the applicable Foreign Currency having an Interest Period of one month that were then overdue (in the case of amounts payable in Foreign Currencies). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall have joint and several liability with the respective Subsidiary Guarantor for all L/C Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor. If any Loan Party’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Foreign Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in Dollars, the Borrower shall, at its option, either (x) pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Lender or the relevant Lender or (y) reimburse each drawing or other payment made in such Foreign Currency in Dollars, in an amount equal to the Approximate Equivalent Amount on the date such drawing or other payment is made, of such drawing or other payment.

Section 3.6. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s and the respective Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Article III shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower and the respective Subsidiary Guarantor may have or have had against any Issuing Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. The Borrower and the respective Subsidiary Guarantor also agree with each Issuing Lender that no Issuing Lender shall be responsible for, and the Borrower’s and the respective Subsidiary Guarantor’s L/C Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower or

the respective Subsidiary Guarantor and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower or the respective Subsidiary Guarantor against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee provided that this paragraph shall not relieve any Issuing Lender of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender (as finally determined by the nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), or otherwise affect any defenses or other right that the Borrower may have as a result of any such gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by the nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Borrower and the respective Subsidiary Guarantor agree that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence of willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards or care specified in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, shall be binding on the Borrower and on the respective Subsidiary Guarantor and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower or the respective Subsidiary Guarantor.

Section 3.7. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draw shall be made under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower or the respective Subsidiary Guarantor of the date, amount and currency thereof. The responsibility of each Issuing Lender to the Borrower or the respective Subsidiary Guarantor in connection with any such draw under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including any draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

Section 3.8. Application. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply.

Section 3.9. Existing Letters of Credit. For all purposes of this Agreement, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued by the Issuing Lender on the Closing Date pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and shall be subject to, and governed by, all terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, Sections 3.3 and 3.4, on and after the Closing Date.

Section 3.10. 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, or states that a Subsidiary 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 Lender (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower (a) shall be primarily liable for such Letter of Credit (including being primarily liable to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the Borrower and (b) 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.

ARTICLE IV. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

Section 4.1. Financial Condition. The consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 25, 2021 and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by KPMG LLP copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by such accountants and as disclosed therein). The

unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of March 26, 2022 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal quarter ended on such date, certified by a Responsible Officer, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as permitted by Form 10-Q under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) applied consistently throughout the periods involved, and present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the fiscal quarter then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments). Neither the Parent nor any of its consolidated Subsidiaries had, at March 26, 2022, any material Guarantee Obligation, contingent liability or liability for taxes, or any long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction, which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto. During the period from March 26, 2022 to and including the Closing Date, there has been no sale, transfer or other disposition by the Parent or any of its consolidated Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or property and no purchase or other acquisition of any business or property (including any capital stock of any other Person) material in relation to the consolidated financial condition of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries at March 26, 2022.

Section 4.2. No Change. Since December 25, 2021, (a) there has been no development or event which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) except as permitted by Section 7.8 of this Agreement or, for any period prior to the Closing Date, Section 7.8 of the Existing Credit Agreement, no dividends or other distributions have been declared, paid or made upon the Capital Stock of the Borrower or the Parent nor has any of the Capital Stock of the Borrower or the Parent been redeemed, retired, purchased or otherwise acquired for value by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 4.3. Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization under the name (as of the date hereof) set forth in its respective signature line hereto, (b) has the power and authority to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.4. Organizational Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the corporate or other applicable organizational power and authority to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow hereunder, and has taken all corporate or other applicable organizational action necessary to be taken by it to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the Borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Applications and the other Loan Documents. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be made or obtained by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in connection with the Borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, except (a) consents and filings which will have been obtained or made and will be in full force and effect on the Closing Date, (b) for filings necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents and (c) such consents and filings which, individually or in the aggregate, if not obtained, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. This Agreement has been,

and, as of the Closing Date, each other Loan Document will be, duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when executed and delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

Section 4.5. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents, the Borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of the Parent or of any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation, other than Liens arising pursuant to the Loan Documents (it being understood that the use of the proceeds of the Borrowings to provide a portion of the funds necessary to purchase any asset with respect to which the remainder of the purchase price is financed by Indebtedness permitted under Sections 7.2(c), 7.2(e) or 7.2(r) that is secured by a Lien on such asset permitted by Sections 7.3(g) or 7.3(h) does not constitute the use of the proceeds of a Borrowing resulting in the creation or imposition of any Lien for purposes of this Section).

Section 4.6. No Material Litigation. Except as may be disclosed in the Parent’s reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the periods ended December 25, 2021 and March 26, 2022, respectively, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.7. No Default. Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 4.8. Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other property, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3.

Section 4.9. Intellectual Property. The Parent and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted except for those the failure to own or license which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (the “Intellectual Property”). No claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim except for any such claim which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of such Intellectual Property by the Parent and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.10. No Burdensome Restrictions. No Requirement of Law (but excluding, solely for purposes of this Section 4.10, laws, treaties, rules or regulations applicable generally to businesses of the types conducted by the Parent and its Subsidiaries) or Contractual Obligation of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.11. Taxes. Each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all Federal income and other tax returns which, to the knowledge of the Parent or the Borrower, are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments (of which notice has been received by it) made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Parent or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be), except in each case as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Parent or the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge, except in each case as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.12. Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose which violates the provisions of the regulations of such Board of Governors.

Section 4.13. ERISA. No Reportable Event has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan, no Plan has failed to satisfy the minimum funding standard applicable to such Plan (as determined pursuant to Section 412 of the Code and Section 302 of ERISA) for any plan year during such period, and each Plan, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, each Multiemployer Plan, has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Plan has occurred other than a standard termination pursuant to Section 4041(b) of ERISA, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, which (in the aggregate with the liabilities which have been incurred with respect to all such withdrawals which have occurred since the Closing Date) would exceed $10,000,000. No such Multiemployer Plan is Insolvent. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has or could have any obligation to contribute to, or any liability with respect to, any Plan, program or arrangement providing for post-retirement welfare benefits, except as may be required pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code or Section 601 of ERISA.

Section 4.14. Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.14, the Borrower is not subject to regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

Section 4.15. Subsidiaries. The Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.15 hereto constitute all the Subsidiaries of the Borrower and the Parent at the date hereof.

Section 4.16. Purpose of Loans. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Borrowings shall be used by the Borrower to provide funding for the general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including working capital.

Section 4.17. Environmental Matters. To the knowledge of the Borrower, each of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this Section is true and correct, except to the extent that such failures to be so true and correct are disclosed in Schedule 4.17 hereto or would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

(c) Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the Business, nor does the Parent or the Borrower have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is being threatened.

(d) Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a location which could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental Law.

(e) No judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent or the Borrower, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business.

(f) There has been no release or threat of release of Materials of Environmental Concern at or from the Properties, or arising from or related to the operations of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Properties or otherwise in connection with the Business, in violation of or in amounts or in a manner that could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under Environmental Laws.

Section 4.18. Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. The Parent has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Parent, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and employees with Anti-Corruption Laws (to the extent applicable to any material portion of the business or operations of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) and applicable Sanctions. The Parent and its Subsidiaries have either (i) implemented and

maintain in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by their respective Landstar Agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions or (ii) entered into contractual arrangements with such Landstar Agents requiring compliance by such Landstar Agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions. The Parent and its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of each Loan Party, the directors, officers, employees and Landstar Agents of the Parent and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of the Parent, any Subsidiary of the Parent, any of their respective directors, officers and employees nor, to the knowledge of each Loan Party, any Landstar Agent is a Sanctioned Person. The Borrower will not knowingly use, directly or indirectly, any Borrowing or Letter of Credit, or the proceeds of any thereof, in any manner that will violate any Anti-Corruption Law in any material respect or any applicable Sanctions.

Section 8.2. Cash Collateral.

(a) If the prepayment of the amount available for drawing under any or all outstanding Letters of Credit is required under Section 8.1, or if Cash Collateral is required to be provided by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.23, the Borrower shall forthwith pay in cash the amount required to be so prepaid or provided, to be held by the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, as provided in Section 8.2(b). The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders, the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) and the Administrative Agent, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the L/C Obligations and other Collateralized Obligations, to be applied pursuant to Section 8.2(b). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) and the Issuing Lenders as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the amount required hereunder, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such adverse claim or deficiency.

(b) All amounts prepaid or provided pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall be held by the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, in a separate collateral account (such account, and the credit balances, properties and any investments from time to time held therein, and any substitutions for such account, any certificate of deposit or other instrument evidencing any of the foregoing and all proceeds of and earnings on any of the foregoing, being collectively called the “Collateral Account”) as security for, and for application to, the Swing Line Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations under any Letter of Credit then or thereafter paid by any Issuing Lender (collectively, the “Collateralized Obligations”). The Collateral Account shall be held in the name of and

subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), as pledgee hereunder. If and when requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall invest and reinvest funds held in the Collateral Account from time to time in Cash Equivalents specified from time to time by the Borrower, provided that (i) interest earned on such investments shall accumulate as part of the Cash Collateral and be retained in the Collateral Account, (ii) other than interest earned on such investments, such Cash Collateral shall not otherwise bear interest, and (iii) the Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized to sell on market terms any investments held in the Collateral Account when and as required to make payments out of the Collateral Account for application to Collateralized Obligations due and owing from the Borrower to any Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, or any Lender (including the Swing Line Lender). With respect to amounts prepaid by the Borrower as required under Section 8.1, when and if (A) (i) the Borrower shall have made payment of all Collateralized Obligations then due and payable, and (ii) all relevant preference or other disgorgement periods relating to the receipt of such payments have passed, or (B) no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall repay to the Borrower any remaining amounts and assets held in the Collateral Account, provided that if the Collateral Account is being released pursuant to clause (A) and any Letter of Credit then remains outstanding, the Borrower, prior to or contemporaneously with such release, shall make arrangements with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit in the manner described in the first sentence of this Section 8.2(b). With respect to amounts provided by the Borrower pursuant to the Cash Collateralization requirements of Section 2.23, when and if the applicable Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is no longer outstanding (including by the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender as provided herein), then the Collateral Agent shall release and deliver to the Borrower (or other Person lawfully entitled thereto) such Cash Collateral amount or applicable portion thereof (after application of any such amounts as provided in Section 2.23) upon the written request of the Borrower. In addition, if the aggregate amount on deposit with the Collateral Agent representing amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2(a) exceeds the Collateralized Obligations then existing, then the Collateral Agent shall release and deliver such excess amount to the Borrower (or other Person lawfully entitled thereto) upon the written request of the Borrower.

Section 8.3. Distribution and Application of Proceeds. After the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, or any Lender hereunder or from the proceeds of the Collateral Account, any other Collateral or otherwise shall be paid to the Administrative Agent to be distributed and applied as follows (unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, and all Lenders):

(a) First, to the payment of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses, as provided by this Agreement or by any other Loan Document, incurred in connection with the collection of such payment or in respect of the enforcement of any rights of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, or the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(e) Fifth, to the payment of the outstanding due and payable principal amount of each of the Loans (including the Swing Line Loans) and the amount of the outstanding Reimbursement Obligations (reserving Cash Collateral for all undrawn face amounts of any outstanding Letters of Credit (if Section 8.2(a) has not previously been complied with)), pro rata in the proportion in which the outstanding principal amount of such Loans and the amount of such outstanding Reimbursement Obligations owing to each Lender and Issuing Lender, together (if Section 8.2(a) has not been complied with) with the undrawn face amounts of such outstanding Letters of Credit, bears to the aggregate amount of all outstanding Loans, outstanding Reimbursement Obligations and (if Section 8.2(a) has not been complied with) the undrawn face amounts of all outstanding Letters of Credit. In the event that any such Letters of Credit, or any portions thereof, expire without being drawn, any Cash Collateral therefor shall not be distributed by the Administrative Agent until the principal amount of all Loans and Reimbursement Obligations shall have been paid in full;

(f) Sixth, to the payment of any other outstanding Obligations then due and payable, pro rata in the proportion in which the outstanding Obligations owing to each Lender, Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent bears to the aggregate amount of all such Obligations until all such Obligations have been paid in full; and

(g) Seventh, to the Borrower or as the Borrower may direct.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Loan Party shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Loan Party.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary, agent or trustee relationship with any Lender except as expressly set forth herein (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties; additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby), and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent;

(ii) where the Administrative Agent is required or deemed to act as a trustee in respect of any Cash Collateral or Collateral over which a security interest has been created pursuant to a Loan Document expressed to be governed by the laws of any country, or is required or deemed to hold any Cash Collateral or Collateral “on trust” pursuant to the foregoing, the obligations and liabilities of the Administrative Agent to the applicable holders of the Obligations in its capacity as trustee shall be excluded to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; and

(iii) nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account.

Section 9.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents, sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact, and all such agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact shall have and be entitled to all of the benefits and protections afforded to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX.

(a) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (x) with the consent of or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or (y) in the absence of its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity,

effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page) or for any failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower.

(b) As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender and each Issuing Lender; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

Section 9.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

100

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

Section 9.6. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative 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 analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 9.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Applicable Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this subsection (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Applicable Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, any such amounts which the Borrower is obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such pursuant to Section 10.5

101

if the Borrower has failed to pay such amounts when due); provided that, no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 9.8. Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, the Parent, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders.

Section 9.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders, agreeing to become a successor agent, a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be approved by the Borrower (except that no such approval shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s sending of a notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless become effective on the 30th day following the sending of such notice (except that in the case of Cash Collateral or Collateral (if any) held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or any Issuing Lender under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, shall continue to hold such Cash Collateral or Collateral, as the case may be, until such time as the successor Administrative Agent is appointed), and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

102

Section 9.10. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding in respect of any Bankruptcy Event or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower or the Parent) 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, interest and fees owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Lenders, Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel) and all other amounts due such Lenders, Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereunder allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(all of whom constitute Immaterial Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date)) or, as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder, becomes an Excluded Subsidiary; provided, that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor would otherwise continue after such release to be a guarantor or obligor in respect of any Indebtedness for borrowed money of a Loan Party that is in excess of $50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount.

Section 10.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

The Borrower agrees (i) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent, (ii) to pay or reimburse all reasonable

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Section 2.15 and in clause (iv) above, the Borrower shall have no obligation under this Section 10.5 to the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any Tax imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority. The agreements in this subsection shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 10.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party may assign or transfer (other than in connection with a merger, liquidation or consolidation permitted by Section 7.5) any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.6(e) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.6(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

111

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)

Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in clause (i)(B) of this Section 10.6(b) in the aggregate, or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in clause (i)(A) of this Section 10.6(b), the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans and Reimbursement Obligations outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $2,500,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. 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 with respect to the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, and/or the Revolving Credit Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this Section 10.6(b) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Revolving Credit Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

112

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (x) the Borrower, the Parent, or any of the Borrower’s or Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (y) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (y).

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person or a company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person or relative(s) thereof.

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.6(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, 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 Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement, covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 10.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting

113

Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.6(d).

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Chicago, Illinois a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Credit Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, upon written notice to the Borrower but without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than any Person described in Section 10.6(b)(v) or 10.6(b)(vi)) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.7 with respect to any participation interests sold by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i) of the proviso in Section 10.1 that directly and adversely affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9, 2.14, 2.15, and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.15(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.6(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.14(c) and Section 2.18 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.6(b); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.9, 2.14 or 2.15 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.18 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant also agrees to be subject to Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans and other Obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register

114

(including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Revolving Credit Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other Obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Credit Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such participating Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in 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; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f) Disclosures to Transferees. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any assignee pursuant to Section 10.6(b) or any Participant (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee (subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 hereof) any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

Section 10.7. Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8.1(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations owing to it, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each of the Lenders, Issuing Lenders and their respective Affiliates shall have the right, without prior notice to any Loan Party any such notice being expressly waived by the Loan Parties to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document and the expiration of any applicable period of grace provided for herein or in any other Loan Document (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or

115

owing by such Lender, Issuing Lender or Affiliate or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party. Each Lender or Issuing Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, Issuing Lender or Affiliate, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 10.8. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a) This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (and by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Except as provided in Section 5.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

(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 10.2), 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 telecopy, 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 Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed 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; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (A) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic signature and (B) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower and each Loan Party hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Parties, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, 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, (ii) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders 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), (iii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the

116

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 (iv) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, Swing Line Lender and any Lender, and any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons for any Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, 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 the Borrower and/or any Loan Party to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

Section 10.9. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(London time) on each Computation Date or upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, if any Loans or Letters of Credit are outstanding on such date in a Foreign Currency, the Administrative Agent shall (i) determine the Exchange Rate as of such Computation Date with respect to such Foreign Currency and (ii) give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Exchange Rate so determined shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following the relevant Computation Date or Event of Default (a “Reset Date”), shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date, and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 10.20 or any other provision expressly requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange Rate employed in determining the Dollar Equivalent of any amounts of such Foreign Currency.

120

(b) Not later than 2:00 P.M. (London time) on each Reset Date and each date on which Loans and/or Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency are made or issued, if any such Loans and/or Letters of Credit are outstanding on such date, the Administrative Agent shall (i) determine the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amounts of the Loans and Letters of Credit denominated in such Foreign Currency and (ii) notify the Lenders and the Borrower of the results of such determination.

Section 10.20. Currency Conversion. All payments under this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, except for Loans funded, or Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued, in a Foreign Currency, which shall be repaid, including interest thereon, in such Foreign Currency. If the Borrower fails to make any payment due hereunder that is required to be paid in a Foreign Currency, and the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender obtains funds in Dollars (through exercise of setoff rights or rights in respect of any Cash Collateral or Collateral or otherwise) for application against such unpaid amounts, then the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender may, at its option (and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender to), convert such funds into the Foreign Currency required hereunder at the rate determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender, as applicable, as the rate quoted by it in accordance with methods customarily used by such Person for such or similar purposes as the spot rate for the purchase by such Person of the required currency with the currency of actual payment through its principal foreign exchange trading office (including, in the case of the Administrative Agent, any Affiliate) at approximately 11:00 A.M. (Local Time at such office) two Business Days prior to the effective date of such conversion; provided that, the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender, as applicable, may obtain such spot rate from another financial institution actively engaged in foreign currency exchange if the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, as applicable, does not then have a spot rate for the required currency. The parties hereto hereby agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that (i) if for the purposes of obtaining any judgment or award it becomes necessary to convert from any currency other than the currency required hereunder into the currency required hereunder any amount in connection with the Obligations, then the conversion shall be made as provided above on the Business Day before the day on which the judgment or award is given, (ii) in the event that there is a change in the applicable conversion rate prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment or award is given and the date of payment, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, will pay to the Borrower such excess amounts (if any) as result from such change in the rate of exchange, to assure that the amount paid on such date is the amount in such other currency, which when converted at the conversion rate described herein on the date of payment, is the amount then due in the currency required hereunder, and (iii) any amount due from the Borrower under this Section 10.20 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment or award being obtained for any other sum due.

Section 10.21. No Margin Stock Collateral. Each of the Lenders represents to the Administrative Agent, each of the other Lenders and the Borrower that it in good faith is not, directly or indirectly (by negative pledge or otherwise), relying upon any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

Section 10.22. No Fiduciary Duty. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Lenders and their respective affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lender Parties”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any of the Lender Parties and the Borrower or any other Loan

121

Parties or their respective shareholders and Affiliates. Each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, on the other hand, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Lender Parties is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower or any other Loan Parties or their respective management, stockholders, creditors or any other person, (iii) no Lender Party has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower or any other Loan Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender Party or any of its Affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower or any other Loan parties on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower or any other Loan Parties except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (iv) the Borrower and the other Loan Parties have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. Each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties agrees that it will not claim that any Lender Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower or any other Loan Parties, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Section 10.23. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to guaranty and otherwise honor all Obligations in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section, or otherwise under the Loan Documents, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 10.24. 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 any Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the NYFRB Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 10.25. Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Interest Rate Protection Agreement, Exchange Rate Protection Agreement, Commodity Price Protection Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC 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):

122

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.

For purposes of this Section 10.25:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
