(a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty;provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans or Swingline Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans or Swingline Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if

Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant toSection 4.5. Subject toSection 2.12, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

(b) The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of the Loans.

(c) The Borrower shall, immediately upon any acceleration of the Obligations pursuant toSection 8.2, repay the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and repay or fully Cash Collateralize (in accordance withSection 3.6) the LC Obligations outstanding on such date.

(d) The Borrower shall repay to the applicable Swingline Lender the aggregate principal amount and accrued interest of any outstanding Swingline Loans no later than five (5) Business Days after the borrowing date of such Swingline Loan.

SECTION 2.4Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments;provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date on which such termination or reduction is to be effective, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

SECTION 2.5Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (d) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Periodplus the Applicable Margin and (ii) each Base Rate Loan and Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rateplus the Applicable Margin, if any.

(b) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(c) Any change in the Applicable Margin, Applicable Commitment Fee Rate or Applicable LC Fee Rate resulting from a change in the S&P/Moody’s Rating shall be effective as of the effective date of the change in the S&P/Moody’s Rating. The Borrower agrees promptly upon any change in the S&P/Moody’s Rating to inform the Administrative Agent thereof.

(d) Notwithstandingclause(a) of this Section, after acceleration and, at the election of the Required Lenders while any Trigger Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by Law) on all Obligations at the applicable Default Rate,provided,however, that, on and after the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan outstanding on the date of occurrence of an acceleration or, unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, a Trigger Default, such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan which bears interest at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.

(e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower to any Lender hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by such Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any Law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable Law.

SECTION 2.6Fees.

(a)Fee Letters. The Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(b)Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Ratetimes the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the Total Outstandings;provided, that the outstanding amount of any Swingline Loans shall not be included in Total Outstandings for purposes of calculating the commitment fee pursuant to thisSection 2.6(b);provided,further, that no commitment fee shall be payable on the Commitment of a Lender to the extent and for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender. The commitment fee shall accrue on such amount during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions inArticle IX is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the expiration of the Availability Period. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Commitment Fee Rate was in effect.

(c)Upfront Fees. On the Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender an upfront fee as agreed to by the Borrower and such Lender. Once paid, such upfront fees shall be nonrefundable.

SECTION 2.7Computation of Fees and Interest. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate) when the Base Rate is determined by reference to Wells Fargo’s prime rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid orpre-paid,provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject toSection 2.9(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.8Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Revolving Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.9Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a)General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date specified herein. Subject toSection 2.12(a)(ii), the Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m., shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance withSection 2.2 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required bySection 2.2) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii)Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Fronting Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such

date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Fronting Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Fronting Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Fronting Bank, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c)Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to the Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of thisArticle II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth inArticle IX are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d)Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund Syndicated Letters of Credit, to purchase participations in Fronted Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant toSection 11.4(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any Syndicated Letter of Credit, to purchase any participation in any Fronted Letter of Credit or to make any payment underSection 11.4(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to fund a Syndicated Letter of Credit, to purchase its participation in a Fronted Letter of Credit or to make its payment underSection 11.4(c).

(e)Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

SECTION 2.10Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans or LC Obligations held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or LC Obligations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans or participations or subparticipations in LC Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Total Outstandings and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for inSection 3.6, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or LC Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.11Increase of Commitments.

(a)Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments in increments of $10,000,000 but in no event may the Aggregate Commitments after giving effect to all increases pursuant to thisSection 2.11 exceed $700,000,000. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, the Borrower may (i) invite one or more existing Lenders to increase their respective Commitments, (ii) subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lenders, and the Fronting Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel, or (iii) a combination thereof. No existing Lender shall be obligated to increase its Commitment as a result of any request by the Borrower unless it agrees in its sole discretion to do so.

(b)Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(c)Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to each increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date (with sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by an Executive Officer of the Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained inArticleV and

the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties speak as of a specified date, and except that for purposes of thisSection 2.11, the representations and warranties contained in subsection (a) ofSection 5.3 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a)(i) and (ii), respectively, ofSection 6.1, and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists. The Borrower shall prepay any Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant toSection 4.5) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

(d)Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions inSection 2.10 orSection 11.1 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.12Defaulting Lenders.

(a)Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i)Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be restricted as set forth inSection 11.1.

(ii)Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant toArticle VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant toSection 11.8), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Fronting Bank, LC Administrator, or any Swingline Lender hereunder;third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Fronting Bank, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Fronted Letter of Credit;fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Syndicated Letter of Credit or Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in anon-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans and Syndicated Letters of Credit under this Agreement;sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Fronting Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Fronting Bank against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that 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 that

Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; andeighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;provided that if (1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans were issued at a time when the conditions set forth inSection 9.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans owed to, allnon-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages without giving effect toSection 2.12(a)(iv). 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 pursuant to thisSection 2.12(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant toSection 2.6 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided inSection 3.8(a).

(iv)Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of eachnon-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund obligations under or purchase participations in Letters of Credit pursuant toArticle III or Swingline Loans pursuant toSection 2.13, the “Applicable Percentage” of eachnon-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender;provided, that each such reallocation shall be given effect only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Outstanding Amounts of any Lender to exceed such Lender’s Commitment.

(v)Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described inSection 2.12(a)(iv) cannot, or can only partially, be effected (a) first, the Borrower shall prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure pro rata based on the Commitments of the Swingline Lenders and (b) second, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Fronting Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth inSection 3.6, in each case within three Business Days following the written request of the Administrative Agent and without prejudice to any right or remedy available to the Borrower hereunder or under law.

(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lenders and the Fronting Bank agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect toSection 2.12(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender;provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; andprovided,further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)Swingline Loans. So long as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that there will be no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan.

SECTION 2.13Swingline Loans.

(a)Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Swingline Lender severally agrees to make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time from the Effective Date to, but not including, the Maturity Date;provided, that after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, (a) the aggregate outstanding Swingline Loans of the applicable Swingline Lender shall not exceed such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Commitment, (b) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (c) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of any Lender (including such Lender’s participations in Swingline Loans) shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. No Swingline Lender shall be obligated to make Swingline Loans if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder unless such Swingline Lender is satisfied it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan. Subject to the foregoing, the Borrower may borrow, repay (including by means of a Revolving Loan) and reborrow Swingline Loans;provided, that Swingline Loans may not be paid or repaid with Swingline Loans.

(b)Refunding.

(i) The applicable Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lenders to act on its behalf), by written notice given no later than 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day request each Lender to make, and each Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan as a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the applicable Swingline Lender. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans

shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Swingline Lender for application by such Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Swingline Loans. No Lender’s obligation to fund its respective Applicable Percentage of a Swingline Loan shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to fund its Applicable Percentage of a Swingline Loan, nor shall any Lender’s Applicable Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Lender to fund its Applicable Percentage of a Swingline Loan.

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the applicable Swingline Lender on demand, and in any event on the date specified inSection 2.3(d), in immediately available funds the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. In addition, the Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any account maintained by the Borrower with the applicable Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in order to immediately pay such Swingline Lender the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. If any portion of any such amount paid to the applicable Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from such Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

(iii) If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced with a Revolving Loan pursuant toSection 2.13(b)(i), each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to inSection 2.13(b)(i), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the applicable Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to such Applicable Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans then outstanding. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the applicable Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its Swingline Participation Amount. Whenever, at any time after the applicable Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, such Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, such Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation 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 and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all such Swingline Loans then due);provided that in the event that such payment received by the applicable Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to such Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by such Swingline Lender.

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Loans referred to inSection 2.13(b)(i) and to purchase participating interests pursuant toSection 2.13(b)(iii) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such

Lender or the Borrower may have against the applicable Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified inARTICLE IX, (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Lender or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(c) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender, any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of thisSection 2.13(b) by the time specified inSection 2.13(b)(b)(i) or(b)(b)(iii), as applicable, such Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the applicable Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan or Swingline Participation Amount, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable Swingline Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(a)General. Subject toSection 2.1, at the request of any Account Party, each Lender agrees, on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to issue Letters of Credit as Syndicated Letters of Credit for the account of such Account Party in Dollars from time to time during the Availability Period. Each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be issued severally by all of the Lenders acting through the LC Administrator, at the time of issuance as a single multi-bank letter of credit, and shall be substantially in the form ofExhibit F with such changes therein as the LC Administrator (in consultation with the applicable Account Party) determines are acceptable to it and not adverse to the interests of the Lenders,provided that it is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that Syndicated Letters of Credit issued to support reinsurance-related obligations shall have terms and conditions necessary to qualify such Syndicated Letters of Credit as permissible collateral under applicable Law and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the LC Issuers agree to issue such Syndicated Letters of Credit.

(b)Notice of Issuance. To request the issuance of a Syndicated Letter of Credit, the applicable Account Party shall hand deliver or transmit by facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the LC Administrator;provided that the LC Administrator hereby approves such electronic communication delivered by email) to the LC Administrator and the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the

Lenders) not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the LC Administrator, including any request for the issuance of a Syndicated Letter of Credit on the Effective Date, subject to approval by the LC Administrator) a letter of credit notice on the LC Administrator’s standard form (with such changes as the LC Administrator shall reasonably deem appropriate) or other electronic notice acceptable to the LC Administrator (a “Syndicated Letter of Credit Notice”) requesting the issuance of a Syndicated Letter of Credit, or identifying the Syndicated Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed, extended or increased, as the case may be, and specifying: (A) the date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the date on which such Syndicated Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply withSection 3.3), (C) the stated amount of such Syndicated Letter of Credit (it being agreed that all Letters of Credit shall be issued in Dollars), (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, (E) whether such Letter of Credit will be secured by Collateral, and (F) such other customary information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, extend or increase, as the case may be, such Syndicated Letter of Credit, it being understood and agreed that Syndicated Letters of Credit may be extended and renewed in accordance withSection 3.3. With respect to the issuance of any Letter of Credit that is a Secured Letter of Credit, in addition to the delivery of the foregoing, the applicable Account Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Base Report not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such Secured Letter of Credit is to be issued confirming that the sum of the aggregate Secured Letter of Credit Exposure attributable to such Account Party after giving effect thereto does not exceed the Borrowing Base of such Account Party at such time. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Syndicated Letter of Credit Notice or other Letter of Credit Document submitted by the applicable Account Party to, or entered into by the applicable Account Party with, the LC Administrator relating to any Syndicated Letter of Credit issued for its account, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(c)Obligation of Lenders. The obligation of any LC Issuer under any Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be several and not joint and shall be in an amount equal to such LC Issuer’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate stated amount of such Syndicated Letter of Credit at the time such Syndicated Letter of Credit is issued (subject to any amendments to such Syndicated Letter of Credit expressly permitted hereunder) and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide. Absent the prior written consent of each LC Issuer, no Syndicated Letter of Credit may be issued that would vary the several and not joint nature of the obligations of the LC Issuers thereunder as provided in thisSection 3.1(c). The failure of any LC Issuer to make any LC Disbursement in respect of any Syndicated Letter of Credit on any date shall not relieve any other LC Issuer of its corresponding obligation, if any, hereunder to do so on such date, but no LC Issuer shall be responsible for the failure of any other LC Issuer to make its LC Disbursement in respect of any Syndicated Letter of Credit. Concurrently with or promptly following any change in Commitments pursuant toSection 11.6 (to the extent agreed to between the assigning Lender and the assignee) or any other event or circumstance resulting in a change in the Applicable Percentages of the Lenders, the LC Administrator shall amend or replace each outstanding Syndicated Letter of Credit to reflect the new Applicable Percentages of the Lenders. Until a Syndicated Letter of Credit has been so amended or replaced, the Lenders (both before and after giving effect to the change in Applicable Percentages) shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally sold and purchased participations in such Syndicated Letter of Credit (including each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the applicable Account Party under this Agreement with respect thereto and any Cash Collateral or other security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto) as necessary to give effect to the change in Applicable Percentages.

(d)Issuance Administration. Each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be executed and delivered by the LC Administrator in the name and on behalf of, and asattorney-in-fact for, each LC Issuer, and the LC Administrator shall act under each Syndicated Letter of Credit, and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expressly provide that the LC Administrator shall act, as the agent of each such LC Issuer to (i) execute and deliver such Syndicated Letter of Credit, (ii) receive drafts, other demands for payment and other documents presented by the beneficiary under such Syndicated Letter of Credit, (iii) determine whether such drafts, demands and documents are in compliance with the terms and conditions of such Syndicated Letter of Credit, (iv) notify such LC Issuer and the applicable Account Party that a valid drawing has been made and the date that the related LC Disbursement is to be made and (v) exercise all rights held by the issuer of a letter of credit under the documents for which such Syndicated Letter of Credit shall provide credit enhancement (or designate any Person as its representative for all such purposes under such documents);provided that the LC Administrator shall have no obligation or liability for any LC Disbursement under such Syndicated Letter of Credit (other than in its capacity as a LC Issuer), and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide. Each LC Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the LC Administrator as itsattorney-in-fact, acting through any duly authorized officer, to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of such LC Issuer each Syndicated Letter of Credit to be issued by such LC Issuer hereunder and to take such other actions contemplated by thisSection 3.1(d). Promptly upon the request of the LC Administrator, each LC Issuer will furnish to the LC Administrator such additional powers of attorney or other evidence as any beneficiary of any Syndicated Letter of Credit may reasonably request in order to demonstrate that the LC Administrator has the power to act asattorney-in-fact for such LC Issuer to execute and deliver such Syndicated Letter of Credit.

(e)Disbursement Procedures. The LC Administrator shall, promptly following its receipt thereof (and, in any event, within any time specified in the text of the relevant Syndicated Letter of Credit), examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Syndicated Letter of Credit. The LC Administrator shall promptly on the Business Day of completion of such examination and before such LC Disbursement notify each applicable LC Issuer and the applicable Account Party by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or email) of such demand for payment. With respect to any demand for payment made under a Syndicated Letter of Credit which the LC Administrator has informed the applicable LC Issuers is valid, each such LC Issuer will promptly on such date of being informed, if such notice is received no later than 1:00 p.m. on such date, otherwise on the next Business Day, make a LC Disbursement in respect of such Syndicated Letter of Credit in accordance with the amount of its liability under such Syndicated Letter of Credit and this Agreement, and such LC Disbursement is to be made to the account of the LC Administrator most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the LC Issuers. On the date of receipt of such LC Disbursement, if received no later than 3:00 p.m. on such date, otherwise on the next Business Day, the LC Administrator will make such LC Disbursement available to the beneficiary of such Syndicated Letter of Credit by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in the funds so received, to the account identified by such beneficiary in connection with such demand for such LC Disbursement. Promptly following any LC Disbursement by any LC Issuer in respect of any Syndicated Letter of Credit, the LC Administrator will notify the applicable Account Party of such LC Disbursement.

(f)Reimbursement. Each Account Party agrees that it shall reimburse the applicable LC Issuers in respect of any LC Disbursement made under such Account Party’s Syndicated Letters of Credit by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such LC Disbursement, with interest payable thereon as provided inSection 3.5, no later than 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day after the date of such Account Party’s receipt of notification from the Applicable Issuing Party of such LC Disbursement (the “Reimbursement Date”). Each Account Party’s obligation to reimburse the LC Issuers with respect to such Account Party’s LC Disbursements shall be absolute and unconditional and subject to the provisions ofSection 2.5.

SECTION 3.2Fronted Letters of Credit.

(a)General. Subject toSection 2.1, at the request of any Account Party, each Fronting Bank agrees, on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in thisSection 3.2, to issue Letters of Credit as Fronted Letters of Credit for the account of such Account Party in Dollars from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate stated amount not to exceed the Fronted Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each Fronted Letter of Credit shall be in a form customarily used or otherwise approved by the Fronting Bank (in consultation with the applicable Account Party),provided that it is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that Fronted Letters of Credit issued to support reinsurance-related obligations shall have terms and conditions necessary to qualify such Fronted Letters of Credit as permissible collateral under applicable law and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Fronting Bank agrees to issue such Fronted Letters of Credit.

(b)Notice of Issuance. To request the Issuance of a Fronted Letter of Credit, the applicable Account Party shall hand deliver or transmit by facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Fronting Bank;provided that the Fronting Bank hereby approves such electronic communication delivered by email) to the Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) at least three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Bank, including any request for the issuance of a Fronted Letter of Credit on the Effective Date, subject to approval by the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Bank) a letter of credit notice on the Fronting Bank’s standard form (with such changes as the Fronting Bank shall reasonably deem appropriate) or other electronic notice acceptable to the Fronting Bank (a “Fronted Letter of Credit Notice”) requesting the issuance of a Fronted Letter of Credit, or identifying the Fronted Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed, extended or increased, as the case may be, and specifying: (A) the date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the date on which such Fronted Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply withSection 3.3), (C) the stated amount of such Fronted Letter of Credit (it being agreed that all Letters of Credit shall be issued in U.S. Dollars), (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, (E) whether such Letter of Credit will be secured by Collateral, and (F) such other customary information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, extend or increase, as the case may be, such Fronted Letter of Credit, it

being understood and agreed that Fronted Letters of Credit may be extended and renewed in accordance withSection 3.3. With respect to the issuance of any Letter of Credit that is a Secured Letter of Credit, in addition to the delivery of the foregoing, the applicable Account Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Base Report not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such Secured Letter of Credit is to be issued confirming that the sum of the aggregate Secured Letter of Credit Exposure attributable to such Account Party after giving effect thereto does not exceed the Borrowing Base of such Account Party at such time. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Fronted Letter of Credit Notice or other Letter of Credit Document submitted by the applicable Account Party to, or entered into by the applicable Account Party with, the Fronting Bank relating to any Fronted Letter of Credit issued for its account, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(c)Participations. By the issuance of a Fronted Letter of Credit by the Fronting Bank and without any further action on the part of the Fronting Bank or the Lenders, the Fronting Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Fronting Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Fronted Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of such Fronted Letter of Credit and the applicable Account Party’s reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Fronted Letters of Credit is absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any such Fronted Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Aggregate Commitments. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, as set forth inSection 3.2(d)(i) each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay in Dollars to the Administrative Agent, for account of the Fronting Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Fronting Bank in respect of any Fronted Letter of Credit or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be disgorged or refunded to the applicable Account Party for any reason. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Account Party pursuant toSection 3.2(e), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Fronting Bank or, to the extent that any Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Fronting Bank, then to such Lenders and the Fronting Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Fronting Bank for any LC Disbursement shall not relieve the applicable Account Party of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(d)Disbursement Procedures; Funding of Participations.

(i) The Fronting Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof (and, in any event, within any time specified in the text of the relevant Fronted Letters of Credit), examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Fronted Letter of Credit. The Fronting Bank shall promptly on the Business Day of completion of such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Account Party by

telephone (confirmed by facsimile or email) of such demand for payment and whether the Fronting Bank has made or will make a LC Disbursement thereunder;provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the applicable Account Party of its obligation to reimburse the Fronting Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. If the applicable Account Party shall fail to reimburse the Fronting Bank for such LC Disbursement on the date and time specified inSection 3.2(e), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable Account Party in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Each Lender (including the Lender acting as Fronting Bank) shall upon such notice make funds available in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Fronting Bank in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the unpaid LC Disbursement (such amount, its “LC Advance”) not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent. No such making of a LC Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Account Party to reimburse the Fronting Bank for the amount of any payment made by the Fronting Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(ii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Fronting Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of thisSection 3.2(d) by the time specified therein, the Fronting Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Fronting Bank at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Fronting Bank submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (ii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Until a Lender funds its LC Advance pursuant to thisSection 3.2(d) to reimburse the Fronting Bank for any LC Disbursement, interest in respect of such Lender’s LC Advance shall be solely for the account of the Fronting Bank.

(e)Reimbursement. Each Account Party agrees that it shall reimburse the Fronting Bank in respect of any LC Disbursement made under such Account Party’s Fronted Letters of Credit by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such LC Disbursement, with interest payable thereon as provided inSection 3.5, no later than the Reimbursement Date. Each Account Party’s obligation to reimburse the Fronting Bank with respect to its LC Disbursements shall be absolute and unconditional and subject to the provisions ofSection 2.5.

(f)Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the Fronting Bank has made a payment under any Fronted Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s LC Advance in respect of such payment in accordance withSection 3.2(d)(i), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Fronting Bank any payment in respect of the related unpaid LC Disbursement or interest thereon (whether directly from the applicable

Account Party or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s LC Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 3.2(d) is required to be returned for any reason, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Fronting Bank its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

SECTION 3.3Expiry Date of Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the earlier of (a) the close of business on the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension), or (b) the LC Expiration Date;provided,however, if any Account Party so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Notice, the LC Administrator or the Fronting Bank, as applicable, agrees to issue a Letter of Credit that provides for the automatic renewal for successive periods of one year or less (but not beyond the LC Expiration Date) (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”) unless and until the LC Administrator or Fronting Bank, as applicable, shall have delivered prior written notice of nonrenewal to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit (a “Notice ofNon-Extension”) no later than the date specified in such Letter of Credit (such time, the “Non-Extension Notice Date”). Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the LC Administrator or Fronting Bank, as applicable, to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the LC Expiration Date; provided,however, that the LC Administrator or Fronting Bank, as applicable, shall not permit any such extension, nor shall it be required to extend such Letter of Credit, if (x) the LC Administrator or Fronting Bank, as applicable, has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions ofSection 9.2), (y) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before theNon-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders or the applicable Account Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 is not then satisfied or (z) the Availability Period has ended.

SECTION 3.4Obligations Absolute.

(a) The reimbursement obligations of each Account Party with respect to a LC Disbursement under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Account Party and the obligation of any Lender to make its LC Advance to the Fronting Bank with respect to any LC Disbursement under any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Letter of Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of such Account Party in respect of any Letter of Credit Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Loan Documents;

(iv) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by any LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; provided, that such draft or certificate substantially complies with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(vi) any exchange, release ornon-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of such Account Party; or

(vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Account Party, any other Loan Party or any other guarantor, other than as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(b) None of the Administrative Agent, the LC Administrator, any LC Issuer or any Lender, or any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility to any Account Party by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder, or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond their control;provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Fronting Bank or the LC Administrator from liability to the applicable Account Party to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Account Party to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Account Party that are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank or the LC

Administrator (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment) when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. It is expressly understood and agreed that (i) the acceptance by the Fronting Bank or the LC Administrator, as the case may be, of documents that appear on their face to comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation, (ii) the exclusive reliance by the Fronting Bank or the LC Administrator, as the case may be, on the documents presented to it under a Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect (so long as such document appears on its face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and (iii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank or the LC Administrator.

SECTION 3.5Interest. Unless the applicable Account Party reimburses each LC Disbursement made in respect of Letters of Credit issued for its account in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount of the reimbursement obligation thereof shall bear interest from the date of each LC Disbursement until such amount shall be paid in full as follows: (i) from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to and including the 3rd Business Day following such date, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin at such time applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) thereafter, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin at such time applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2%. Such interest shall be payable on demand.

The Administrative Agent shall deposit such Cash Collateral in a special collateral account of each Account Party pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such account, the “Cash Collateral Account”) for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Applicable Issuing Parties and the Lenders.

(b) Each Account Party hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the LC Administrator, the Fronting Bank and the other LC Issuers, a Lien upon and security interest in its Cash Collateral Account and all amounts held therein from time to time as security for the LC Obligations of such Account Party, and for application to its aggregate LC Obligations, as and when the same shall arise. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account for the benefit of the Fronting Bank and the other LC Issuers and the Account Parties shall have no interest therein except as set forth inSection 3.6(c). Other than any interest on the investment of such amounts in Cash Equivalents, which investments shall be made at the direction of the applicable Account Party (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the determination as to investments shall be made at the option and in the discretion of the Administrative Agent), amounts in the Cash Collateral Account shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such Cash Collateral Account.

(c) In the event of a drawing, and subsequent payment by any LC Issuer, under any Letter of Credit at any time during which any amounts are held in the applicable Cash Collateral Account, the Administrative Agent will deliver to such LC Issuer an amount equal to the reimbursement obligation created as a result of such payment (or, if the amounts so held are less than such reimbursement obligation, all of such amounts) to reimburse the LC Issuer therefor. Any amounts remaining in any Cash Collateral Account (including interest and profits) after the expiration of the Letters of Credit of the applicable Account Party and the reimbursement in full of the Applicable Issuing Parties for all of their respective obligations thereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Account Party, to be applied against the then due LC Obligations of such Account Party in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent may direct. If any Account Party is required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant hereto, such amount (including interest and profits), to the extent not applied as aforesaid, shall be returned to such Account Party,provided that after giving effect to such return (i) the Total Outstandings would not exceed the Aggregate Commitments at such time and (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time. If any Account Party is required to provide Cash Collateral as a result of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Account Party within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

SECTION 3.7Use of Letters of Credit.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

SECTION 3.11Secured Letters of Credit. Except as otherwise provided herein, at the election of the applicable Account Party prior to the time of issuance, any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Account Party may be secured by Collateral;provided that the aggregate Secured Letter of Credit Exposure attributable to such Account Party shall not at any time exceed the Borrowing Base of such Account Party. Once per calendar quarter, the Account Parties shall collectively have the right to elect, by delivering written notice (signed by all Account Parties making such election) to the Administrative Agent and the LC Administrator,

not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days in advance, (A) with respect to any Secured Letter of Credit, that such Letter of Credit no longer be secured by Collateral and (B) with respect to any Unsecured Letter of Credit, that such Letter of Credit be secured by Collateral, and such election shall become effective on the Business Day following such five-Business Day notice period,provided, that (i) with respect to each election under clause (A) above, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time and (ii) with respect to each such Account Party making such election in relation to an election under clause (B) above, the Borrowing Base of each such Account Party shall equal or exceed the Secured Letter of Credit Exposure attributable to such Account Party after giving effect to such election.

SECTION 3.12Provisions Relating to NAIC-Qualified Lenders.

(a) Each Lender represents that on the date of this Agreement (or, if later, the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement), it is an NAIC-Qualified Lender or has entered into a Fronting Agreement with a Person which is listed on the NAIC Qualified Institution List to act as a Fronting Lender for such Lender in accordance with the requirements of thisSection 3.12. Each Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts in order to, at all times, (i) be listed on the NAIC Qualified Institution List or (ii) maintain in effect a Fronting Agreement with a Person which is listed on the NAIC Qualified Institution List to act as a Fronting Lender for such Lender in respect of its obligations under the Syndicated Letters of Credit (which Person, prior to entering in such Fronting Agreement, shall be subject to the prior written consent of each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld). If any Lender shall enter into a Fronting Agreement hereunder at any time, it shall promptly furnish a copy thereof to the Company and the Administrative Agent. If at any time any Lender shall cease to be a NAIC-Qualified Lender, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and forthwith comply with its obligations under thisSection 3.12. In connection with the execution or termination of any Fronting Agreement, the LC Administrator is authorized to amend or replace each outstanding Syndicated Letters of Credit to add or remove the applicable Lender and Fronting Lender, as the case may be. Each Lender shall promptly provide evidence to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower of such Lender’s compliance with the requirements of thisSection 3.12 upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower.

(b) If at any time any Lender is aNon-NAIC Qualified Lender, suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender shall be obligated to provide Cash Collateral for its Applicable Percentage of the LC Obligations on the following terms:

(i) With respect to any then existing Fronted Letter of Credit Exposure of suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender, at the option of the applicable Fronting Bank or the Borrower, suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender shall forthwith deliver to the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to the maximum amount of suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender’s Fronted Letter of Credit Exposure (such amount provided in respect of such Fronted Letter of Credit Exposure being herein called “Fronted Letter of Credit Cash Collateral”). Upon receipt of any Fronted Letter of Credit Cash Collateral (including any additional cash collateral provided under clause (iii) below that constitutes Fronted Letter of Credit Cash Collateral), the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Bank will establish one or more cash collateral accounts in the name and under the sole dominion and control

of the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Bank (each such cash collateral account, a “Fronted Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) and deposit therein the relevant portion of such Fronted Letter of Credit Cash Collateral (including the relevant portion of any additional cash collateral provided by suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender in respect of its additional Fronted Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to clause (iii) below) as collateral solely for the benefit of the Fronting Bank to secure suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender’s obligations in respect of the Fronted Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to Fronted Letters of Credit issued by the Fronting Bank and suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Bank, for the benefit of the Fronting Bank, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to each Fronted Letter of Credit Collateral Account and the balances from time to time therein. The balances from time to time in the Fronted Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any such obligations until applied by the Administrative Agent as provided herein.

(ii) With respect to any then existing Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure of suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender, the Borrower may request that suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender shall forthwith deliver to the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to the maximum amount of suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender’s Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure (such amount provided in respect of such Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure being herein called the “Syndicated Letter of Credit Cash Collateral”)). Upon receipt of any Syndicated Letter of Credit Cash Collateral (including any additional cash collateral provided under clause (iii) below that constitutes Syndicated Letter of Credit Cash Collateral) by the Administrative Agent from such Lender, the Administrative Agent will establish a cash collateral account (of the type described in clause (i) above) (the “Syndicated Letter of Credit Collateral Account” and, together with each Fronted Letter of Credit Collateral Account, each a “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) and deposit therein such Syndicated Letter of Credit Cash Collateral (including any additional cash collateral provided by such Lender in respect of its additional Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to clause (iii) below) as collateral solely for the benefit of any applicable Fronting Lender to secure suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender’s obligations to such Fronting Lender under such Letters of Credit and suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Fronting Lender, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Syndicated Letter of Credit Collateral Account and the balances from time to time therein. The balances from time to time in the Syndicated Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any such obligations until applied by the Administrative Agent as provided herein.

(iii) If at any time thereafter any Account Party shall request the issuance of additional Letters of Credit and at such time such Lender remains aNon-NAIC Qualified Lender, upon the request of any applicable Fronting Bank, applicable Fronting Lender or the Borrower, as applicable, suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender shall provide additional cash collateral in respect of its Applicable Percentage (or, if the Borrower has made aNon-Pro Rata Issuance Election with respect to a Syndicated Letter of Credit, any other applicable share of such Syndicated Letter of Credit) of the stated amount under such Letter of Credit in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above, as applicable (provided that,

with respect to any Fronted Letter of Credit Exposure, such collateral shall be provided only at the option of the applicable Fronting Bank or the Borrower and with respect to any Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure, such collateral shall be provided only at the option of the applicable Fronting Lender or the Borrower) and, upon receipt of such collateral, the applicable Fronting Bank, Administrative Agent or such other party shall hold and apply such collateral as Fronted Letter of Credit Cash Collateral or Syndicated Letter of Credit Cash Collateral, as applicable, in accordance with this subsection (b).

(iv) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in any Letter of Credit Collateral Account established under this subsection (b) shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided herein. Amounts on deposit in each Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Administrative Agent in such short-term investments as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion or, in the case of any Fronted Letter of Credit Collateral Account, as the applicable Fronting Bank for whose benefits the funds therein have been pledged may direct the Administrative Agent or, in the case of the Syndicated Letter of Credit Collateral Account, as the applicable Fronting Lender(s) may direct the Administrative Agent. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name and be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent and shall be credited to the relevant Letter of Credit Collateral Account for the benefit of the Person for which such funds are being held. At any time, and from time to time, the Administrative Agent shall, if instructed by (in the case of any Fronted Letter of Credit Collateral Account) the applicable Fronting Bank in its sole discretion or (in the case of the Syndicated Letter of Credit Collateral Account) the LC Administrator (or the Borrower if thatNon-NAIC Qualified Lender does not have in effect a Fronting Agreement) in its sole discretion, as the case may be, liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and credit the proceeds thereof to such Letter of Credit Collateral Account and apply or cause to be applied the balances therein to the payment of such Lender’s obligations then due and payable which are secured by such balances.

(v) If at any time the Letters of Credit in respect of any Letter of Credit Exposure for which cash collateral has been provided by suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender under this subsection (b) shall no longer exist, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender, deliver to suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender (with the concurrence of the applicable Fronting Bank, applicable Fronting Lender or the Borrower, as applicable), against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the remaining balance in the relevant Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(vi) If at any time suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender shall become a NAIC Qualified Lender, subject, in the case of any Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure of such Lender, to (x) the termination of the Fronting Agreement entered into between the applicable Fronting Lender and such Lender releasing the Fronting Lender’s obligation thereunder to act as a Fronting Lender for such Lender and (y) with the consent of the beneficiary under each Syndicated Letter of Credit to the extent required by the terms thereof or under applicable law, the amendment of each such Syndicated Letter of Credit by the Administrative Agent to reinstate such Lender’s liability thereunder (and terminate

the applicable Fronting Lender’s liability thereunder), the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of such Lender, deliver to such Lender (with the concurrence of the applicable Fronting Bank) or the Borrower (with respect to any Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure for which theNon-NAIC Qualified Lender does not have in effect a Fronting Agreement)), against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the remaining balance in the relevant Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as any Lender shall be aNon-NAIC Qualified Lender, the Borrower may, upon notice to suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender and the Administrative Agent, require suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender, at the expense of suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender, to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained inSection 11.6), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Letters of Credit issued, or participated in, by suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender to any Eligible Assignee and shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if it, in its sole discretion, accepts such assignment) with (and subject to) the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld);provided that suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding amount of its LC Disbursements (including participations therein), principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding LC Disbursements, Loans and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts).

(d) During the period that suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender (i) does not have a Fronting Agreement in effect and (ii) continues to be a Lender hereunder, the Borrower may, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this clause (d), elect that all Syndicated Letters of Credit that are requested to be issued or that are outstanding, be issued or renewed, extended or amended, as applicable, by the Lenders on an adjusted pro rata basis that excludes the Commitment of suchNon-NAIC Qualified Lender (such election, a “Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election”),provided that, if the Borrower makes aNon-Pro Rata Issuance Election, (i) such issuance, renewal, extension or adjustment shall be made only to the extent that it would not cause the Outstanding Amount of any Lender to exceed such Lender’s Commitment and (ii) thereafter, if the Borrower elects to request a Loan, such Loan shall be advanced as provided inSection 2.2(f).

ARTICLE IV.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

SECTION 4.1Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined in the good faith discretion of such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent in its good faith discretion to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(iii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount so withheld or deducted by it to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

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

(c)Tax Indemnifications.

(i) Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) ) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, except to the extent

that such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Recipient;provided,however, that in no event shall the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Fronting Bank have any liability to any Loan Party for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Fronting Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Fronting Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and Fronting Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or Fronting Bank (but only to the extent that the applicable Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of such Loan Party to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s or Fronting Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.6(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or Fronting Bank, 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 or Fronting Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and Fronting Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Fronting Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Fronting Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

(d)Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in thisSection 4.1, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e)Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the Effective Date and at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine

(A) whether or not payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding Tax purposes in the applicable jurisdictions.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is resident for Tax purposes in the United States,

(A) 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 copies of IRS FormW-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such 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 copies of IRS FormW-8BEN or IRS FormW-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 FormW-8BEN or IRS FormW-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS FormW-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 ExhibitI-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 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS FormW-8BEN or IRS Form W8BEN-E; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS FormW-8IMY, accompanied by IRS FormW-8ECI, IRS FormW-8BEN, IRS Form W8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of ExhibitI-2 or ExhibitI-3, IRS FormW-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 ExhibitI-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such 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), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

(iii) Each Lender (A) 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, (B) shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (C) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including there-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for Taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

(iv) The Loan Parties shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Effective Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by the Loan Parties, as are required to be furnished by such Lender or the Administrative Agent under such Laws in connection with any payment by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, with respect to such jurisdiction.

(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the Fronting Bank, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the Fronting Bank, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the Fronting Bank, as the case may be. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of allout-of-pocket expenses, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of such Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over pursuant to thisSection 4.1(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(g)Survival. Each party’s obligations under thisSection 4.1 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the Fronting Bank, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

SECTION 4.2Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank eurodollar market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Loan or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the

Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

SECTION 4.3Inability to Determine Rates; Alternative Rate of Interest.

(a) Unless and until a Replacement Rate is implemented in accordance withSection 4.3(b), if in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof or otherwise, (a) the Administrative Agent determines that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case with respect to clause (a) (i) above, “Impacted Loans”), or (b) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the Required Lenders revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a) (i) of thisSection 4.3 the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with

respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary inSection 4.3(a), if the Administrative Agent has made the determination (such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances described inSection 4.3(a)(i) or(a)(ii) have arisen and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency or (iii) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of any applicable interest rate specified herein or any Governmental Authority having, or purporting to have, jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which any applicable interest rate specified herein shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency, then the Administrative Agent may, to the extent practicable (in consultation with the Borrower and as determined by the Administrative Agent to be generally in accordance with similar situations in other transactions in which it is serving as administrative agent or otherwise consistent with market practice generally), establish a replacement interest rate (the “Replacement Rate”), in which case, the Replacement Rate shall, subject to the next two sentences, replace such applicable interest rate for all purposes under the Loan Documents unless and until (A) an event described inSection 4.3(a)(i), (a)(ii), (b)(i), (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) occurs with respect to the Replacement Rate or (B) the Required Lenders (directly, or through the Administrative Agent) notify the Borrower that the Replacement Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding the Loans bearing interest at the Replacement Rate. In connection with the establishment and application of the Replacement Rate, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of thisSection 4.3(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation,Section 11.1), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such amendment to the Lenders, written notices from such Lenders that in the aggregate constitute Required Lenders, with each such notice stating that such Lender objects to such amendment. To the extent the Replacement Rate is approved by the Administrative Agent in connection with this clause (b), the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice;provided that, in each case, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (it being understood that any such modification by the Administrative Agent shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Lenders).

SECTION 4.4Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated bySection 4.4(e)) or the Fronting Bank;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (d) through (f) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Fronting Bank or the London interbank eurodollar market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Fronting Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Fronting Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the Fronting Bank, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Fronting Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Fronting Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Fronting Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such claim and a calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Fronting Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Fronting Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof;provided, that such Lender or the Fronting Bank shall only be so reimbursed or compensated to the extent that such Lender or the Fronting Bank is then generally seeking reimbursement or compensation in respect of credit transactions similar to the transactions contemplated hereby from borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower to the extent such Change in Law is applicable thereto.

(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Fronting Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Fronting Bank’s right to demand such compensation,provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Fronting Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than three months prior to the date that such Lender or the Fronting Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Fronting Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e)Additional Reserve Requirements. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurodollar funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurodollar liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurodollar Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan,provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

SECTION 4.5Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant toSection 11.13;

including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be obligated to compensate any Lender under thisSection 4.5 for any loss of anticipated profits in respect of the foregoing. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under thisSection 4.5, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

SECTION 4.6Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office. Each Lender may make any Loan to the Borrower through any Lending Office,provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Lender requests compensation underSection 4.4, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the Fronting Bank, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the Fronting Bank pursuant toSection 4.1, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant toSection 4.2, then such Lender or the Fronting Bank shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the Fronting Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant toSection 4.1 or4.4, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant toSection 4.2, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the Fronting Bank, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the Fronting Bank, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the Fronting Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation underSection 4.4, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant toSection 4.1, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance withSection 11.13.

SECTION 4.7Survival. All of the obligations of the Loan Parties under thisArticle IV shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions ofSection 2.9(d).

SECTION 11.6Successors and Assigns.

(a)Successors and Assigns Generally.

(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 Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), direct obligations under and participations in LC Obligations and in Swingline Loans) 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 Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it 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 subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 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);provided,however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

106

(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 or the Commitment assigned;

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

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) 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 five (5) 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 if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(iv)Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500;provided,however, 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 (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to 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 (B), or (C) to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person), or (D) except as otherwise agreed by the Borrower, a Person that is not a NAIC-Qualified Lender.

(vi)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

107

full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans, obligations under Syndicated Letters of Credit and participations in Fronted Letters of Credit and Swingline 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 provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all 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 ofSections 4.1,4.4,4.5, and11.4 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment;provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Revolving Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (d) of this Section.

(c)Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for Tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and LC Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. 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, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the

108

Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (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 Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in LC 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 Lenders, the LC Administrator and the Fronting Bank 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 underSection 11.4(c) without regard to the existence of any participation.

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, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso toSection 11.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits ofSections 4.1,4.4 and4.5to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits ofSection 11.8as though it were a Lender,provided such Participant agrees to be subject toSection 2.10 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as anon-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 LC Obligations, or 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 (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, LC Obligations, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish such Commitment, Loan, LC Obligation or other obligation is in registered form underSection 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment underSection 4.1 or4.4than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits ofSection 4.1 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply withSection 4.1(e) as though it were a Lender.

109

(f)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 (including under its Revolving Note or Swingline Note, if any) 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.

(g)Resignation as LC Administrator, Swingline Lender and Fronting Bank after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Wells Fargo assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Wells Fargo may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as the Fronting Bank, Swingline Lender and LC Administrator. In the event of any such resignation as the Fronting Bank, Swingline Lender and LC Administrator, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Fronting Bank, Swingline Lender and LC Administrator hereunder;provided,however, that (i) no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Wells Fargo as the Fronting Bank, Swingline Lender and LC Administrator and (ii) no Lender shall be required to accept any such appointment.If Wells Fargo resigns as the Fronting Bank and LC Administrator, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Fronting Bank, Swingline Lender and LC Administrator hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding and issued by it as of the effective date of its resignation as the Fronting Bank and LC Administrator and all LC Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant toSection 3.2). If Wells Fargo resigns as the Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant toSection 2.13. Upon the appointment of a successor Fronting Bank, Swingline Lender and LC Administrator, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Fronting Bank, Swingline Lender and LC Administrator, and (b) the successor Fronting Bank and LC Administrator shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession and issued by the retiring Fronting Bank and LC Administrator or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Fronting Bank and LC Administrator to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Fronting Bank and LC Administrator with respect to such Letters of Credit.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Fronting Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Fronting Bank acknowledges that (a) the Information may include materialnon-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of materialnon-public information and (c) it will handle such materialnon-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

111

obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the LC Administrator, the Fronting Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the LC Administrator, the Fronting Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender, the LC Administrator and the Fronting Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application,provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 11.9Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate ofnon-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 11.10Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided inSection 9.1, 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 that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.11Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

112

SECTION 11.12Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of thisSection 11.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank, the Swingline Lender or the LC Administrator, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

SECTION 11.13Replacement of Lenders.

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified inSection 11.6(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts underSection 4.5) 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);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation underSection 4.4 or payments required to be made pursuant toSection 4.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

113

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Borrower from the Credit Extensions hereunder, the Borrower hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably, and jointly and severally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of all LC Obligations of each of the Account Parties under the Loan Documents. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Upon failure by any Account Party to pay punctually any such amount, the Borrower agrees to pay forthwith on demand the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in this Agreement.

SECTION 12.2Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrower under thisArticle XII shall be unconditional, absolute and irrevocable, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(i) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release (including with respect to any Collateral) in respect of any obligation of any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents, by operation of law or otherwise;

(ii) any modification or amendment of or supplement to any of the Loan Documents;

(iii) any release,non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any obligation of any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents;

(v) the existence of any claim,set-off or other rights which any obligor may have at any time against any other obligor, the Administrative Agent, the LC Administrator, any Lender or any other corporation or person, whether in connection with any of the Loan Documents or any unrelated transactions,provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(vi) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other obligor for any reason of any of the Loan Documents, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any other obligor of principal, interest or any other amount payable under any of the Loan Documents;

(vii) any law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting any term of any obligation or the Lenders’ rights with respect thereto;

(viii) the addition or release of any Guarantor hereunder or the taking, acceptance or release of other guarantees of the Obligations; or

(ix) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any obligor, the Administrative Agent, the LC Administrator, any Lender or any other corporation or person or any other circumstance whatsoever (other than the defense of payment) which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to such Guarantor’s obligations under thisArticle XII.

118

The Borrower’s obligations under thisArticle XII shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall have terminated, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and all Obligations payable by the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of any Obligation payable by a Loan Party under the Loan Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Loan Party or otherwise, the Borrower’s obligations under thisArticle XII with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

SECTION 12.4Waiver by the Borrower. The Borrower irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any corporation or person against any other obligor or any other corporation or person.

SECTION 12.5Subrogation. The Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against any other Loan Party, or any other insider guarantor that arises from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Borrower’s obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent against any Loan Party or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or byset-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all Obligations payable under this Agreement shall have been paid in full in cash, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall have expired or been terminated.

119

SECTION 12.6Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Loan Party under any of the Loan Documents is stayed upon the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Event with respect to such Loan Party, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Borrower under thisArticle XII forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request, or with the consent, of the Required Lenders.
