in each case, at the option of the Company made at least 5 Business Days (or such lesser period as may be permitted by the Administrative Agent) prior thereto (the Company’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be (i) in the case of a Limited Condition Transaction (other than a Limited Condition Transaction described in clause (b) thereof), the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into, and (ii) in the case of any redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness requiring irrevocable advance notice or any irrevocable offer to purchase Indebtedness that is not subject to obtaining financing, the date of such irrevocable advance notice or irrevocable offer (each, an “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to subsection 7.1(a) or (b) ended prior to the LCT Test Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such test, ratio or basket, calculated on a pro forma basis, then such test, ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with; provided that nothing in this subsection 1.8 shall limit any requirements with respect to the absence of a Specified Default at the time of consummation thereof and after giving effect thereto (to the extent otherwise expressly required under this Agreement). After the Company has made an LCT Election:

(2) for purposes of determining whether the bring down of representations and warranties in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction and any action taken in connection therewith are true and correct, such condition shall be deemed satisfied so long as such representations and warranties, as applicable, are true and correct on the LCT Test Date; and

(3) if the Company has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any test, ratio or basket availability (other than the testing of any ratio for purposes of the Financial Covenants and the definitions of “Applicable Margin” and “Pricing Grid”, which shall be made assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions in connection therewith have not been consummated) on or following the relevant LCT Test Date (and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement, arrangement or announcement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction),

any such test, ratio, basket or amount shall be tested by calculating the availability under such test, ratio or basket both (i) on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith have been consummated (including any incurrence or discharge of Indebtedness and any associated Lien and the use of proceeds thereof) and (ii) assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith have not been consummated (including any incurrence or discharge of Indebtedness and any associated Lien and the use of proceeds thereof).

(b) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Company, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the LCT Test Date; provided that nothing in this subsection 1.8 shall limit any requirements with respect to the absence of a Specified Default at the time of consummation thereof (to the extent otherwise expressly required under this Agreement). If the Company has exercised its option under this subsection 1.8 and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the LCT Test Date and prior to the consummation of the applicable transaction, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder, subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any reference rate referred to herein or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing), in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or other action or omission related to or affecting the selection, determination, or calculation of any rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

or SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans, (ii) 1:00 p.m. one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans, (iii) in the case of Alternative Currency Loans, 1:00 p.m. four Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or, in the case of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, any continuation, (iv) (A) 10:00 a.m. (London time) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of or continuation of Revolving Euro Tranche Loans denominated in Euros and (B) 1:00 p.m. four Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Revolving Euro Tranche Loans denominated in Sterling, (v) 10:00 a.m. (Tokyo time) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of or continuation of Revolving Yen Tranche Loans, and (vi) 12:00 noon one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans, SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans and Alternative Currency Loans, as applicable, shall be in an amount not less than the Minimum Principal Amount. Except as provided in subsection 3.1(c) and subsection 2.4(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the applicable Borrower is requesting a Term A-1 Loan Borrowing, a Euro Term Loan Borrowing, a Revolving Credit Borrowing, a Revolving Euro Tranche Borrowing, a Revolving Yen Tranche Borrowing, a conversion of Term A-1 Loans, Term A-3 Loans, Term A-5 Loans, Term A-6 Loans, Euro Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Term SOFR or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, (vi) if applicable, the currency of the Loans to be borrowed and (vii) if applicable, the applicable Borrower requesting such Borrowing, continuation or conversion. If a Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Loan Notice requesting a Revolving Credit Borrowing or a Revolving Euro Tranche Borrowing, then the Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars, in the case of Revolving Credit Borrowing, or in Euro, in the case of a Revolving Euro Tranche Borrowing. If a Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if a Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Term A-1 Loans, Term A-3 Loans, Term A-5 Loans, Term A-6 Loans, Euro Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans, Revolving Euro Tranche Loans or Revolving Yen Tranche Loans shall be made or continued as, converted to, Term SOFR or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans in their original currencies with an Interest Period of one month (or Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans in the case of any Revolving Credit Loan or any Revolving Euro Tranche Loan denominated in Sterling). Any such automatic conversion to, or automatic continuation as, Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Loans. If a Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Revolving Credit Loan or Revolving Euro Tranche Loan may be converted into or continued as a Revolving Credit Loan or Revolving Euro Tranche Loan, as the case may be, denominated in a different currency, but instead must be repaid in the original currency of such Loan and re-borrowed in the other currency. Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans shall automatically continue each day as Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans unless and until the Company delivers a timely notice requesting a conversion of such Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans to another Type of Loan.

(b) Notification of Lenders; Funding of Loans. Following receipt of a Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing denominated in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency with respect to which the Administrative Agent has not received notice that any Lender is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount (and, if applicable, currency) of its Applicable Percentage under the applicable Facility of the applicable Term A-1 Loans, Euro Term Loans, Term A-3 Loans, Term A-5 Loans, Term A-6 Loans, Revolving Credit Loans, Revolving Euro Tranche Loans or Revolving Yen Tranche Loans. Following receipt of a Loan Notice requesting a Revolving Credit Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency with respect to which the Administrative Agent and the Company have received notice that one or more Lenders is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender, the Administrative Agent shall on the next following Business Day notify (i) each Alternative Currency Funding Lender of both the Dollar Equivalent amount and the Alternative Currency Equivalent amount of its Alternative Currency Funding Pro Rata Share, (ii) the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender of both the Dollar Equivalent amount and the Alternative Currency Equivalent amount of the aggregate Alternative Currency Risk Participations in its Alternative Currency Funding Pro Rata Share, (iii) each Alternative Currency Participating Lender of both the Dollar Equivalent amount and the Alternative Currency Equivalent amount of its Alternative Currency Risk Participation in such Borrowing, and (iv) all Revolving Credit Lenders and the Company of the aggregate Alternative Currency Equivalent amount and the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Borrowing. If no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender under the applicable Facility of the details of any automatic conversion to, or automatic continuation, in each case as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of (i) a Term A-1 Loan Borrowing, (ii) a Revolving Credit Borrowing in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency with respect to which the Administrative Agent has not received notice that any Lender is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender, (iii) the Euro Term Loan Borrowing, (iv) a Revolving Euro Tranche Borrowing or (v) a Revolving Yen Tranche Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than (w) 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars, (x) the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Revolving Credit Loan in any such Alternative Currency and the Euro Term Loan Borrowing (y) 10:00 a.m. (London time), in the case of any Revolving Euro Tranche Loan, and (z) 10:00 a.m. (Tokyo time), in the case of any Revolving Yen Tranche Loan, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. In the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing in an Alternative Currency with respect to which the Administrative Agent has received notice that any Revolving Credit Lender is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender, each Alternative Currency Funding Lender shall make the amount of its Alternative Currency Funding Pro Rata Share in such Revolving Credit Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than the Applicable Time, on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. In any event, a Lender may cause an Affiliate to fund or make the amount of its Loan available in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in subsection 6.2 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, subsection 6.1), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by such Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date a Loan Notice with respect to a Revolving Credit Borrowing denominated in Dollars is given by the Company, there are L/C-BA Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C-BA Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Company as provided above.

(c) Continuations and Conversions. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Term SOFR Loan or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan. During the existence of a Specified Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Term SOFR Loans, SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Loans without the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, in the case of a Revolving Credit Loan, the Required Term A-1 Lenders, in the case of a Term A-1 Loan, the Required Term A-3 Lenders, in the case of a Term A-3 Loan, the Required Term A-5 Lenders, in the case of a Term A-5 Loan, or the Required Term A-6 Lenders, in the case of a Term A-6 Loan, and the Required Revolving Lenders may demand that (x) any or all of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans which are Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans be redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto or (y) any or all of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans which are Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans immediately be redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof. During the existence of an Event of Default, other than a Specified Default, (i) the Required Revolving Lenders, in the case of a Revolving Credit Loan, may require that no Revolving Credit Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Term SOFR Loans, SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Loans without the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, (ii) the Required Term A-1 Lenders, in the case of a Term A-1 Loan, may require that no Term A-1 Loans may be converted to or continued as Term SOFR Loans without the consent of the Required Term A-1 Lenders, (iii) the Required Revolving Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans which are Alternative Currency Loans be redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto (or, with respect to Alternative Currency Loans, immediately), (iv) the Required Term A-3 Lenders, in the case of a Term A-3 Loan, may require that no Term A-3 Loans may be converted to or continued as Term SOFR Loans without the consent of the Required Term A-3 Lenders, (v) the Required Term A-5 Lenders, in the case of a Term A-5 Loan, may require that no Term A-5 Loans may be converted to or continued as Term SOFR Loans without the consent of the Required Term A-5 Lenders, and (vi) the Required Term A-6 Lenders, in the case of a Term A-6 Loan, may require that no Term A-6 Loans may be converted to or continued as Term SOFR Loans without the consent of the Required Term A-6 Lenders.

(d) Interest Periods. After giving effect to all Term Loan Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than twelve Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Term Facilities. After giving effect to all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than twelve Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility. After giving effect to all Revolving Euro Tranche Borrowings and all continuations of Revolving Euro Tranche Loans, there shall not be more than twelve Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Revolving Euro Tranche Facility. After giving effect to all Revolving Yen Tranche Borrowings and all continuations of Revolving Yen Tranche Loans, there shall not be more than six Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Revolving Yen Tranche Facility.

(e) Alternative Currency Funding and Participation.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions of subsection 2.1(b), and without limitation of the provisions of subsection 2.2, with respect to any Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency with respect to which one or more Revolving Credit Lenders has given notice to the Administrative Agent that it is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender, (A) each Revolving Credit Lender agrees from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period to fund its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage

of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency with respect to which it is an Alternative Currency Funding Lender; and (B) each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to acquire an Alternative Currency Risk Participation in Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency with respect to which it is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender.

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be funded upon the request of the Company in accordance with subsection 2.2(b). Immediately upon the funding by the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender of its respective Alternative Currency Funding Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Credit Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency with respect to which one or more Revolving Credit Lenders is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender, each Alternative Currency Participating Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from such Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender an Alternative Currency Risk Participation in such Loan in an amount such that, after such purchase, each Revolving Credit Lender (including the Alternative Currency Funding Lenders, the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender and the Alternative Currency Participating Lenders) will have an Alternative Currency Loan Credit Exposure with respect to such Loan equal in amount to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such Loan.

(iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent delivered not later than 11:00 a.m., on the second Business Day preceding the proposed date of funding and payment by Alternative Currency Participating Lenders of their Alternative Currency Risk Participations purchased in such Revolving Credit Loans as shall be specified in such notice (the “Alternative Currency Participation Payment Date”), request each Alternative Currency Participating Lender to fund the Dollar Equivalent of its Alternative Currency Risk Participation purchased with respect to such Revolving Credit Loans to the Administrative Agent on the Alternative Currency Participation Payment Date in Dollars. Following receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Alternative Currency Participating Lender of the Dollar Equivalent amount of its Alternative Currency Risk Participation purchased with respect to each such Revolving Credit Loan and the applicable Alternative Currency Participation Payment Date. Any notice given by the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the absence of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(iv) On the applicable Alternative Currency Participation Payment Date, each Alternative Currency Participating Lender in the Revolving Credit Loans specified for funding pursuant to this subsection 2.2(e) shall deliver the amount of such Alternative Currency Participating Lender’s Alternative Currency Risk Participation with respect to such specific Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars and in Same Day Funds to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no Alternative Currency Participating Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Alternative Currency Participating Lender in such other Alternative Currency Participating Lender’s obligation to pay such amount. Upon receipt of any such amounts from the Alternative Currency Participating Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such Dollar amounts in Same Day Funds to the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender.

(v) In the event that any Alternative Currency Participating Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of its Alternative Currency Risk Participation as provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on behalf of the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender on demand from such Alternative Currency Participating Lender together with interest at the Overnight Rate for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

(vi) In the event that the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender receives a payment in respect of any Revolving Credit Loan, whether directly from a Borrower or a Guarantor or otherwise, in which Alternative Currency Participating Lenders have fully funded in Dollars their purchase of Alternative Currency Risk Participations, the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender shall promptly distribute to the Administrative Agent, for its distribution to each such Alternative Currency Participating Lender, the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency Participating Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such payment in Dollars and in Same Day Funds. If any payment received by the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan in an Alternative Currency made by it shall be required to be returned by the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender after such time as the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender has distributed such payment to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, each Alternative Currency Participating Lender that has received a portion of such payment shall pay to the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage in Dollars of the amount to be returned; provided, however, that no Alternative Currency Participating Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Alternative Currency Participating Lender in that other Alternative Currency Participating Lender’s obligation to pay such amount.

(vii) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Alternative Currency Participating Lender’s obligation to acquire and pay for its purchase of Alternative Currency Risk Participations as set forth herein shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Alternative Currency Participating Lender may have against the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, the Administrative Agent, any Guarantor, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or a Default; (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Guarantor, any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Guarantor, any Borrower or any other Lender; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(viii) In no event shall (A) the Alternative Currency Risk Participation of any Alternative Currency Participating Lender in any Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency pursuant to this subsection 2.2(e) be construed as a loan or other extension of credit by such Alternative Currency Participating Lender to any Borrower, any Lender or the Administrative Agent or (B) this Agreement be construed to require any Lender that is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender with respect to a specific Alternative Currency to make any Revolving Credit Loans in such Alternative Currency under this Agreement or under the other Loan Documents, subject to the obligation of each Alternative Currency Participating Lender to give notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company at any time such Lender acquires the ability to make Revolving Credit Loans in such Alternative Currency.

(f) With respect to any Relevant Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time, in consultation with the Company, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Company and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

2.3 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Euro Tranche Commitments or Revolving Yen Tranche Commitments. The Company (on behalf of all Borrowers) may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, the Aggregate Revolving Euro Tranche Commitments or the Aggregate Revolving Yen Tranche Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce any of the foregoing, without penalty or premium; provided that (a) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (i) 12:00 noon three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) 12:00 noon (London time) three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Euro Tranche Commitments or (iii) 12:00 noon (Tokyo time) three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Yen Tranche Commitments, (b) the Company shall not terminate or reduce (i) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Euro Tranche Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Euro Tranche Loans plus the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Euro Tranche Commitments or (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Yen Tranche Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Yen Tranche Loans would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Yen Tranche Commitments, (c) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess and (d) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Euro Tranche Commitments, the Swing Line Euro Tranche Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Euro Tranche Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Appropriate Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, the Aggregate Revolving Euro Tranche Commitments or the Aggregate Revolving Yen Tranche Commitments. The amount of any such Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the Letter of Credit-BA Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Company. The amount of any such Aggregate Revolving Euro Tranche Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Swing Line Euro Tranche Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Company. Any reduction of the Commitments in respect of any Facility pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage of such Facility. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, the Aggregate Revolving Euro Tranche Commitments or the Aggregate Revolving Yen Tranche Commitments, as the case may be, shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. Any such reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof

and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. Any such reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Euro Tranche Commitments shall be in an amount equal to €400,000 or a whole multiple of €100,000 in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Euro Tranche Commitments then in effect. Any such reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Yen Tranche Commitments shall be in an amount equal to ¥50,000,000 or a whole multiple of ¥10,000,000 in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Yen Tranche Commitments then in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may rescind any notice of termination under this subsection 2.3 if such termination would have been made in connection with a refinancing or replacement of all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Loans, Revolving Euro Tranche Loans or Revolving Yen Tranche Loans, as the case may be, which refinancing or replacement shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

2.4 Swing Line Commitments. (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this subsection 2.4, to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Company from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C-BA Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that (i) after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (A) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility at such time, and (B) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender at such time (less, with respect only to the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, the aggregate Alternative Currency Risk Participations in all Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies), plus, with respect only to the Alternative Currency Participating Lenders, such Lender’s Alternative Currency Risk Participations in Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies advanced by the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender for such Lender, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA Obligations at such time, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans at such time shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; and (ii) the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension, may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this subsection 2.4, prepay under subsection 4.2, and reborrow under this subsection 2.4. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by: (A) telephone or (B) a Swing Line Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received

such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of subsection 2.4(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Company at its office by crediting the account of the Company on the books of the Swing Line Lender in Same Day Funds.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of subsection 2.2, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the Available Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in subsection 6.2. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Company with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to subsection 2.4(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Company in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with subsection 2.4(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to subsection 2.4(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.4(c) by the time specified in subsection 2.4(c)(i), the Swing Line 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 the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative,

processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line 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 Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this subsection 2.4(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this subsection 2.4(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in subsection 6.2. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations. (i) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any circumstances (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Company for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this subsection 2.4 to refinance such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Company shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

2.5 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Revolving Credit Loans. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, on the Termination Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility (or such earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9) the then unpaid principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans.

(b) Revolving Euro Tranche Loans.

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 demonstrable error.

The entries made in the Register shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the applicable Borrower therein recorded absent demonstrable error; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.6 Incremental Facilities.

(a) The Company may at any time and from time to time, by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written notice signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company, request the addition of a new tranche of term loans (an “Incremental Term Facility”), a new tranche of revolving loans (an “Incremental Revolving Tranche Facility” and, together with the Incremental

Term Facility, the “Incremental Facilities”), an increase in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (an “Incremental Revolving Increase”), an increase in the Aggregate Revolving Euro Tranche Commitments (an “Incremental Euro Tranche Increase”), an increase in the Aggregate Revolving Yen Tranche Commitments (an “Incremental Yen Tranche Increase” and, together with the Incremental Revolving Increases and the Incremental Euro Tranche Increases, the “Incremental Increases”) or a combination thereof in an aggregate principal amount for all such Incremental Facilities and Incremental Increases incurred after the Effective Date not exceeding, at any time of determination, the sum of (i) an amount equal to the greater of (A) $1,750,000,000 and (B) 100% of EBITDA for the most recently ended Test Period for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to subsection 7.1(a) or (b) (the “Incremental Fixed Amount Basket”) minus the aggregate principal amount of all additional Indebtedness issued or incurred pursuant to subsection 8.2(e)(i) or (e)(ii) outstanding at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility or Incremental Increase (but solely to the extent such additional Indebtedness was issued or incurred in reliance on the Incremental Equivalent Fixed Amount Basket, or any refinancing or replacement of any such Indebtedness in accordance with subsection 8.2(e)(ii)) and (ii) the maximum amount which may be incurred in order for the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence and all other transactions to be consummated in connection therewith (including the incurrence or assumption of other Indebtedness)) to remain less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00; provided that, subject to the provisions in subsection 2.6(e) below, at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of the Incremental Facility Amendment referred to below, (A) no Default or Event of Default shall exist, and (B) the Company shall be in Pro Forma Compliance; provided, further, that for purposes of clause (ii) of this sentence and clause (B) in the proviso immediately above, in the case of an Incremental Revolving Tranche Facility or an Incremental Increase, the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Financial Covenants shall be calculated as if such Incremental Revolving Tranche Facility or Incremental Increases were fully drawn but using only the actual Total Revolving Credit Outstandings (and not the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments) under the Revolving Credit Facility, the actual Total Revolving Euro Tranche Outstandings (and not the amount of the Revolving Euro Tranche Commitments) under the Revolving Euro Tranche Facility or the Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Yen Tranche Loans (and not the amount of the Revolving Yen Tranche Commitments) under the Revolving Yen Tranche Facility, as the case may be, in effect immediately prior to the closing of such Incremental Revolving Tranche Facility or Incremental Increase and for the purpose of computing the usage of the basket in clause (i) of this sentence, the aggregate amount of outstanding Incremental Facilities incurred solely in reliance on clause (ii) of this sentence shall be disregarded. In calculating the amount of Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to clause (i) or clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company may elect to incur Indebtedness pursuant to clause (ii) before using the basket in clause (i).If both amounts are available and the Company does not make an election, the Company will be deemed to have incurred such Indebtedness pursuant to clause (ii).The Company may not reclassify any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to such clause (i) or clause (ii) after the incurrence thereof.

(b) Each Incremental Term Facility shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $50,000,000, each Incremental Revolving Tranche Facility and each Incremental Revolving Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $25,000,000 (or, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Tranche Facility denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Alternative Currency Equivalent in such Alternative Currency of $25,000,000), each Incremental Euro Tranche Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than the Alternative Currency Equivalent in Euro of $25,000,000 and each Incremental Yen Tranche Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than the Alternative Currency Equivalent in Yen of $10,000,000.

(c) Each Incremental Facility (i) shall rank pari passu or junior (except in the case of any obligation thereunder of a Designated Borrower that is a Foreign Subsidiary, which would be senior as a result of such Designated Borrower not guaranteeing or providing collateral security for the Obligations of the Domestic Loan Parties) in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Credit Loans, the Term A-1 Loans, the Term A-2 Loans, the Term A-3 Loans, the Term A-5 Loans, the Term A-6 Loans, the Euro Term Loans, the Revolving Euro Tranche Loans and the Revolving Yen Tranche Loans and shall contain provisions as to the requirement that any Lien thereunder on any property also granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document shall be released on any Collateral/Covenant Release Date as provided herein, (ii) in the case of an Incremental Revolving Tranche Facility, shall not mature earlier than (and shall not have scheduled commitment reductions occurring before) the Termination Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Revolving Euro Tranche Facility or the Revolving Yen Tranche Facility, (iii) in the case of an Incremental Term Facility, shall not mature earlier than the Termination Date with respect to the Term A-1 Facility or, if later, the latest Termination Date with respect to the other Term Facilities or any Incremental Term Facility outstanding at such time nor have a Weighted Average Life that is shorter than the Weighted Average Life of the Term A-1 Loans (or, if later and/or longer, the other Term Loans and any Incremental Term Facility) (provided that, with respect to this clause (iii), (A) at the option of the Company, this clause (iii) shall not apply to any Permitted Bridge Indebtedness, (B) so long as such Incremental Term Facility is not incurred under the Incremental Fixed Amount Basket, the Company may incur Incremental Term Facilities as Inside Maturity Indebtedness, and (C) in determining the latest Termination Date in respect of any Term Facility for purposes of this clause (iii), any Term Facility outstanding with a stated maturity date later than the five year anniversary of the incurrence of such Term Facility shall be disregarded), (iv) in the case of an Incremental Term Facility, for purposes of rights to payment, prepayments and voting, shall be treated no more favorably than the existing Term A-1 Loans, and (v) shall not contain additional or different covenants or financial covenants which are materially more restrictive than the covenants herein on the Effective Date or the Financial Covenants unless (x) the Lenders under the existing Loans also receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms (it being understood to the extent that any covenant is added for the benefit of any such Indebtedness, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the extent that such covenant is also added for the benefit of any corresponding existing Loans), (y) any such provisions apply after the latest Termination Date applicable to outstanding Loans at such time, or (z) such terms shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company (provided that a certificate of a Responsible Officer delivered to the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, together with a reasonably detailed description of the material terms and conditions of such resulting Indebtedness or copies of the principal documentation relating thereto, stating that the Company has determined in good faith that such terms and conditions satisfy the foregoing requirement, shall be conclusive evidence that such terms and conditions satisfy the foregoing requirement unless the Administrative Agent notifies the Company within fifteen (15) Business Days that it disagrees with such determination (including a reasonable description of the basis upon which it disagrees)). Any such notice shall set forth the amount and terms of the relevant Incremental Facility or Incremental Increases requested by the Company and to be agreed by any Lenders or Additional Lenders (as herein defined) under such Incremental Facility or providing any portion of such Incremental Increase.

(d) The Company may arrange for one or more banks or other financial institutions, each of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company and, with respect only to Incremental Revolving Increases, the Swing Line Lender, the L/C Issuers and the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, and, with respect only to Incremental Euro Tranche Increases, the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender (any such bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”), to extend commitments under the Incremental

Facility or provide a portion of the Incremental Increase, and no Lender shall be required to provide a portion of any such Incremental Facility or provide a portion of any such Incremental Increase. Commitments in respect of Incremental Facilities or any Incremental Increases shall become Commitments under this Agreement, and each Additional Lender shall become a Lender under this Agreement, pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Company, each existing Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. An Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to effect the provisions of this Section. Subject to subsection 2.6(e) below, effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in subsection 6.2 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Borrowing” in such subsection 6.2 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Facility Amendment) and the delivery of customary legal opinions. The proceeds of the Incremental Facilities or the Incremental Commitments will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, if a Subsidiary (other than the Borrower) shall, at the time of any proposed Incremental Term Facility to be provided by Farm Credit Lenders, own assets consistent with those set forth in Section 5.17(c) and (d), and which the CoBank TL Lead Arranger deems eligible assets for purposes of this Agreement and the proposed Incremental Term Facility then, at the Borrower’s sole election, such Subsidiary may be joined as an additional borrower under this Agreement subject to the conditions of subsection 2.8 and such other joinder documentation and related terms and conditions to be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent, the CoBank TL Lead Arranger and the Credit Parties; provided that, it is understood and agreed that satisfaction of such conditions and such joinder may be a condition precedent to the closing and funding of the proposed Incremental Term Facility if so requested by the financial institutions providing the proposed Incremental Term Facility.

(e) In the case of any Incremental Term Facility the proceeds of which are to be used to finance a substantially concurrent Limited Condition Transaction, to the extent the Company has made an LCT Election, notwithstanding anything in this subsection 2.6 or subsection 6.2 to the contrary, the provisions set forth in subsection 1.8 shall apply; provided that no Specified Default shall exist and be continuing immediately before and after the incurrence of any such Incremental Term Facility.

2.7 Swing Line Euro Tranche Commitments.

(a) The Swing Line Euro Tranche. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender agrees, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this subsection 2.7, to make loans in Euro or Sterling (each such loan, a “Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan”) to the Borrowers under the Revolving Euro Tranche Facility from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving Euro Tranche Commitment Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Euro Tranche Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Revolving Euro Tranche Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Euro Tranche Loans of the Lender acting as Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Euro Tranche Commitment; provided, however, that (i) after giving effect to any Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan, (A) the Total Revolving Euro Tranche Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Euro Tranche Facility, and (B) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Euro Tranche Loans of any Revolving Euro Tranche Lender at such time, plus such Revolving Euro Tranche Lender’s Applicable Revolving Euro Tranche Percentage of the

Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans at such time shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Euro Tranche Commitment; and (ii) the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension, may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the applicable Borrowers may borrow under this subsection 2.7, prepay under subsection 4.2, and re-borrow under this subsection 2.7. Each Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan shall bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable Overnight Euro Tranche Rate plus the Applicable Margin, as more particularly set forth in subsection 4.1. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan, each Revolving Euro Tranche Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Euro Tranche Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Euro Tranche Borrowing shall be made upon the applicable Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by: (A) telephone or (B) a Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be the Minimum Principal Amount, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan Notice, the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Euro Tranche Lender) prior to 12:00 p.m. (London time) on the date of the proposed Swing Line Euro Tranche Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender not to make such Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of subsection 2.7(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. (London time) on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan available to the applicable Borrower at its office by crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender in Same Day Funds.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans. (i) The Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request that each of the Revolving Euro Tranche Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan, and each Revolving Euro Tranche Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Euro Tranche Percentage available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately following such request. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender.

(ii) If any Revolving Euro Tranche Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of subsection 2.7(c)(i) by the time specified therein, the Swing Line Euro Tranche 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 the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Euro Tranche Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Euro Tranche Lender’s funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan. A certificate of the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender submitted to any Revolving Euro Tranche Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 2.7(c) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(iii) Each Revolving Euro Tranche Lender’s obligation to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans pursuant to this subsection 2.7(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (y) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (z) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any Borrower to repay Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations. (i) At any time after any Revolving Euro Tranche Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan, if the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan, the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender will distribute to such Revolving Euro Tranche Lender its Applicable Revolving Euro Tranche Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender under any circumstances (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Euro Tranche Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender its Applicable Revolving Euro Tranche Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender. The obligations of the Revolving Euro Tranche Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender. The Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrowers under the Revolving Euro Tranche Facility for interest on the Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans. Until each Revolving Euro Tranche Lender funds its risk participation pursuant to this subsection 2.7 to refinance such Revolving Euro Tranche Lender’s Applicable Revolving Euro Tranche Percentage of any Swing Line Euro Tranche Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Revolving Euro Tranche Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender. The Borrowers under the Revolving Euro Tranche Facility shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans directly to the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the Revolving Euro Tranche Facility, the Revolving Yen Tranche Facility, any Incremental Revolving Tranche Facility or any Incremental Term Facility, as the case may be, (A) the Administrative Agent and each Lender under the applicable Facility or Facilities shall have received all documentation and other information that such Person requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act and such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may be required by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its sole discretion, (B) each Lender under the applicable Facility or Facilities shall have received Notes signed by such new Designated Borrower to the extent requested by such Lender and (C) each Lender under the applicable Facility or Facilities shall be licensed to lend to such Applicant Borrower under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction to the extent required thereby.

Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower.

(e) The Company may from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such; provided that either (i) there are no outstanding Loans payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Loans made to it, as of the effective date of such termination or (ii) another Person (which may include the Company) satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Facility Lenders (with respect to each Facility under which such Designated Borrower is permitted to borrow) in their sole discretion assumes the obligations of such terminating Designated Borrower pursuant to such loan assumption documentation acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Appropriate Lenders of any such termination of a Designated Borrower’s status.

SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT AND BANKERS’ ACCEPTANCES

3.1 Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances.

(a) The Letter of Credit – BA Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this subsection 3.1, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Letter of Credit-BA Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies for the account of the

Company or its Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit issued by it and (3) with respect to Acceptance Credits, to create Bankers’ Acceptances in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof; and (B) the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances issued for the account of the Company or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C-BA Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (1) (x) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender (less, with respect only to the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, the aggregate Alternative Currency Risk Participations in all Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies), plus, with respect only to the Alternative Currency Participating Lenders, such Lender’s Alternative Currency Risk Participations in Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies advanced by the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender for such Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C-BA Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit-BA Sublimit and (2) as to Acceptance Credits, the Bankers’ Acceptance created or to be created thereunder shall not be an eligible bankers’ acceptance under Section 13 of the Federal Revenue Act (12 U.S.C.§ 372). Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Company may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(ii) No L/C Issuer shall issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) with respect to Acceptance Credits, the maturity date of any Bankers’ Acceptance issued under any such requested Acceptance Credit would occur earlier than 30 or later than 120 days from date of issuance; or

(B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit or the maturity date of any Bankers’ Acceptance issued under such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit-BA Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lenders) have approved such expiry date. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Existing Letters of Credit have the expiry dates set forth on Schedule C.

(iii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with

respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C) except as otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency;

(D) subject to subsection 3.1(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension; or

(E) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under subsection 3.1(c) exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuers have entered into satisfactory arrangements (it being understood that the delivery of Cash Collateral would be satisfactory) with the Company or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuers’ actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to subsection 4.6(e)(i)(D)) with respect to such Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C-BA Obligations as to which the L/C Issuers have actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as they may elect in their sole discretion.

(iv) No L/C Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(vi) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Section 10 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or Bankers’ Acceptances created by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 10 included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Company delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the applicable L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as such L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably request. Additionally, the Company shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. In the event that any Letter of Credit Application includes representations and warranties, covenants and/or events of default that do not contain the materiality qualifiers, exceptions or thresholds that are applicable to the analogous provisions of this Agreement or other Loan Documents, or are otherwise more restrictive, the relevant qualifiers, exceptions and thresholds contained herein shall be incorporated therein or, to the extent more restrictive, shall be deemed for the purposes of such Letter of Credit Application to be the same as the analogous provisions herein.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Company and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in subsection 6.2 shall not then be satisfied, or that the limits in the proviso to subsection 3.1(a)(i) would be exceeded by the issuance of the subject Letter of Credit, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Company (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit. Immediately upon the creation of each Bankers’ Acceptance, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Bankers’ Acceptance in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Bankers’ Acceptance.

(iii) If the Company so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a standby Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that unless the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer otherwise agree any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month, or longer, period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Company shall not be required to make a specific request to the applicable L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit-BA Expiration Date; provided, however, that the applicable L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of subsection 3.1(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or the Company that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in subsection 6.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing or, with respect to any Acceptance Credit, presentation of documents, under such Letter of Credit or any presentation for payment of a Bankers’ Acceptance, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Company and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Company shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) such L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Company shall have notified such L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Company will reimburse such L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable L/C Issuer will notify the Company of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing (or presentation for payment under a Bankers’ Acceptance) promptly following the determination thereof. Not

later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, as applicable, to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, as applicable, to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Company shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing or Bankers’ Acceptance, as applicable, in the applicable currency; provided that if notice of such drawing is not provided to the Company prior to 1:00 p.m. on the Honor Date, then the Company shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing in the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing fees in respect of any such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance. If the Company fails to so reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. In such event, the Company shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in subsection 2.2 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in subsection 6.2 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection 3.1(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to subsection 3.1(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of subsection 3.1(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Company in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer in Dollars.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in subsection 6.2 (other than delivery by the Company of a Loan Notice) cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C-BA Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C-BA Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to subsection 3.1(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C-BA Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C-BA Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this subsection 3.1.

(iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C-BA Advance pursuant to this subsection 3.1(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit or payments made on any Bankers’ Acceptance, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C-BA Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit and payments made on a Bankers’ Acceptance, as contemplated by this subsection 3.1(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this subsection 3.1(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in subsection 6.2 (other than delivery by the Company of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C-BA Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection 3.1(c) by the time specified in subsection 3.1(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer 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 L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer 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 Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C-BA Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 3.1(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C-BA Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with subsection 3.1(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any L/C Issuer pursuant to subsection 3.1(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in subsection 11.7 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Revolving Credit 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 applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Company to reimburse each L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by it and each payment under any Bankers’ Acceptance issued by it and to repay each L/C-BA Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Company or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction, provided that the Company shall not be precluded from pursuing its rights and remedies in a separate action;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document or endorsement presented under or in connection with such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit or obtain payment under any Bankers’ Acceptance;

(iv) any payment by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance; or any payment made by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Company or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally;

(vi) waiver by such L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for such L/C Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Company or any waiver by such L/C Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Company;

(vii) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;

(viii) any payment made by such L/C Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable; or

(ix) 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, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

The Company shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit, and each Bankers’ Acceptance, and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Company’s instructions or other irregularity, the Company will promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Company shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit or making any payment under a Bankers’ Acceptance, no L/C Issuer shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptance or Issuer Document. The Company hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Company from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (ix) of subsection 3.1(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and an L/C Issuer may be liable to the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Company which the Company proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit or to honor any Bankers’ Acceptance presented for payment in strict compliance with its terms and conditions. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument endorsing, transferring or assigning or purporting to endorse, transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. Each L/C Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or Banker’s Acceptance or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(g) Cash Collateral. (i) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer (A) if such L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C-BA Borrowing and the conditions set forth in subsection 6.2 with respect to a Revolving Credit Borrowing cannot then be met, (B) if as of the Letter of Credit-BA Expiration Date, any L/C-BA Obligation for any reason remains outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn or (C) if there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, the Company shall, in each case, within three Business Days provide Cash Collateral in an amount equal to (x) in the case of clauses (A) and (B), at least 105% of such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such L/C-BA Borrowing or the Letter of Credit-BA Expiration Date or (y) in the case of clause (C), 105% of the Fronting Exposure of each L/C Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit and Banker’s Acceptances issued and outstanding on the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to subsection 4.6(e)(i)(D) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender) or, in the case of clause (B), provide a back-to-back letter of credit or bankers’ acceptance, as applicable, in a face amount of at least equal to 105% of the then undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance from an issuer and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or other credit support reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer;

(ii) In addition, if the Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA Obligations at such time exceeds 100% or, if such excess is a result of exchange rate fluctuations, 105% of the Letter of Credit-BA Sublimit then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Company shall Cash Collateralize the L/C-BA Obligations in an amount equal to the amount by which the Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA Obligations exceeds the L/C-BA Letter of Credit Sublimit;

(iii) The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations or upon a determination that Cash Collateral provided is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers or the Lenders as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the amount required by this subsection 3.1(g);

(iv) Subsection 4.2 and Section 9 set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. The Company, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a security interest in all in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as Cash Collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to this subsection 3.1(g)(iv). Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked accounts under sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. The Company shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral; provided, however, that the payment of such fees and charges shall not prejudice or limit any right of the Company to recover

reimbursement of such fees and charges from a Defaulting Lender (which fees and charges each Defaulting Lender shall, on demand of the Company, reimburse to the Company to the extent such fees and charges are related to Cash Collateral provided due to the existence of such Defaulting Lender).

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance, subject to subsection 4.6(e), with its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage, in Dollars, a Letter of Credit-BA fee (the “Letter of Credit-BA Fee”) (i) for each commercial Letter of Credit equal to 50% of the Applicable Margin then in effect for Term SOFR Loans times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit or the maximum stated amount of such Bankers’ Acceptance, as the case may be, and (ii) for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Term SOFR Loans times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with subsection 1.6. Letter of Credit-BA Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October, commencing with the first such date to

occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptance, as the case may be, on the Letter of Credit-BA Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Loans during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptance shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Revolving Lenders, while any Event of Default under subsection 9(a) exists, all Letter of Credit-BA Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Company shall pay directly to the relevant L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Company or any of its Subsidiaries, at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum (or such lesser amount as the relevant L/C Issuer and the Company may agree), computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such Letter of Credit, (i) for commercial Letters of Credit, (A) payable upon the issuance thereof and (B) with respect to any amendment of a commercial Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of Credit, payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) with respect to standby Letters of Credit, on a quarterly basis in arrears.

For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with subsection 1.6. In addition, the Company shall pay directly to the relevant L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.

Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

For so long as any Letter of Credit issued by an L/C Issuer (other than Bank of America) is outstanding, such L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a report in the form of Schedule 3.1(m) (appropriately completed with the information for every outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, on each date that an L/C-BA Credit Extension occurs with respect to any such Letter of Credit, and on each date there is a change to the information set forth on such report.

102

first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the Company); provided that, such unpaid Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans shall continue to bear interest in accordance with subsection 4.1 until such unpaid Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans or the related portion of such Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans, as the case may be, have or has been prepaid.

As promptly as practicable after receiving such notice from the Company, the Administrative Agent (or, with respect to the Term A-2 Loans, the Term A-3 Loans, the Term A-5 Loans, or the Term A-6 Loans, the CoBank TL Lead Arranger) will send to each applicable Term Loan Lender a Prepayment Option Notice, which shall be in the form of Exhibit F, and shall include an offer by the Company to prepay on the date (each a “Prepayment Date”) that is five Business Days after the date of the Prepayment Option Notice, the Term Loans of such Lender in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Term Loan Prepayment Amount (the “Individual Term Loan Prepayment Amount”). In the event any such Lender desires to accept the Company’s offer in whole or in part, such Lender shall so advise the Administrative Agent (or, with respect to the Term A-2 Loans, the Term A-3 Loans, the Term A-5 Loans, or the Term A-6 Loans, the CoBank TL Lead Arranger) by return notice no later than the close of business two Business Days after the date of such notice from the Administrative Agent (or, with respect to the Term A-2 Loans, the Term A-3 Loans, the Term A-5 Loans, or the Term A-6 Loans, the CoBank TL Lead Arranger), which return notice shall also include any amount of such Lender’s Individual Term Loan Prepayment Amount such Lender does not wish to receive.

On the Prepayment Date the Company shall prepay the Term Loan Prepayment Amount, and (i) the aggregate amount thereof necessary to prepay that portion of the outstanding relevant Term Loans in respect of which such Term Loan Lenders have accepted prepayment as described above shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans, and (ii) the aggregate amount (if any) equal to the portion of the Term Loan Prepayment Amount not accepted by the relevant Term Loan Lenders shall be returned to the Company. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, make a voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to subsection 4.2(a) with that portion of the Term Loan Prepayment Amount not accepted by the relevant Term Loan Lenders.

The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of such Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of further exchange rate fluctuations.

(j) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the sum of the Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Euro Tranche Loans plus the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans at such time exceeds an amount equal to 100% or, if such excess is a result of exchange rate fluctuations, 105% of the Aggregate Revolving Euro Tranche Commitments then in effect, then, within five Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, Revolving Euro Tranche Loans and Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate Outstanding Amount of such Loans as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Aggregate Revolving Euro Tranche Commitments then in effect.

(e) The Company shall pay directly to the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to the portion of each Borrowing in an Alternative Currency advanced by such Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender for an Alternative Currency Participating Lender (but excluding the portion of such advance constituting the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Borrowing as an Alternative Currency Funding Lender), equal to 0.125% times such portion of such Borrowing, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of such Borrowing, such fee to be payable on the date of such Borrowing.

4.4 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Margin. (a) Except as set forth in subsection 4.1(k), computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Secured Overnight Financing 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 computations of interest for Alternative Currency Loans shall be made on the basis of a year as set forth on Schedule 4.4 for such Alternative Currency and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest, include those with respect to Term SOFR Loans and SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans, shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the affected Lenders of each determination of a Term SOFR Rate, SOFR Daily Floating Rate, Alternative Currency Term Rate or Alternative Currency Daily Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the affected Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Company or any Lender, deliver to the Company or such Lender a statement showing in reasonable detail the calculations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to subsection 4.1.

105

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Company or for any other reason, the Company or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Company as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Company shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Company under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This subsection 4.4(c) shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer, as the case may be, otherwise available hereunder. The Company’s obligations under this subsection 4.4(c) shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

4.5 Inability to Determine Interest Rates.

(a) If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan, SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loan, or an Alternative Currency Loan or a conversion of Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate for the Relevant Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency has been determined in accordance with subsections 4.5(b) or 4.5(c) and the circumstances under clause (i) of subsection 4.5(b) or of subsection 4.5(c) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred with respect to such Relevant Rate (as applicable), or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining the Relevant Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency for any determination date(s) or requested Interest Period, as applicable, with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan, SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loan or an Alternative Currency Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason that the Relevant Rate with respect to a proposed Loan denominated in an Agreed Currency for any requested Interest Period or determination date(s) does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender.

Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Loans in the affected currencies, as applicable, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans, shall be suspended (in each case to the extent of the affected Alternative Currency Loans, SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of this subsection 4.5(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

106

Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the applicable Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, continuation of, or conversion to Term SOFR Loans, a Borrowing of, or conversation to SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans, or Borrowing of, continuation of, or conversion to Alternative Currency Loans (to the extent of the affected Alternative Currency Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s)), as applicable or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount specified therein and (ii) (A) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans or SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately and (B) any outstanding affected Alternative Currency Loans, at the Company’s election, shall either (1) be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Alternative Currency Loan immediately, in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan or at the end of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan or (2) be prepaid in full immediately, in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, or at the end of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan; provided that if no election is made by the Company (x) in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, by the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Company of such notice or (y) in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, by the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, the Company shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above.

(b) Replacement of Term SOFR, SOFR Daily Floating Rate or Successor Rate with respect to Dollar Denominated Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Company or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Company) that the Company or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR (or, in the case of SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans, the one month interest period of the Term SOFR Screen Rate), including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which each of one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR (or, in the case of the SOFR Daily Floating Rate, the one month interest period of the Term SOFR Screen Rate) or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that will continue to provide such interest periods of Term SOFR (or, in the case of the SOFR Daily Floating Rate, the one month interest period of the Term SOFR Screen Rate) after such specific date (the latest date on which one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR (or, in the case of the SOFR Daily Floating Rate, the one month interest period of the Term SOFR Screen Rate) or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date”);

107

or if the events or circumstances of the type described in subsection 4.5(b)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the SOFR Successor Rate then in effect, then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be, in the case of Term SOFR Loans, at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR and the SOFR Daily Floating Rate will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “SOFR Successor Rate”). If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in subsection 4.5(b)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR, the SOFR Daily Floating Rate or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this subsection 4.5 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period (or, in the case of a daily floating interest rate, upon the effectiveness of such amendment) for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a “SOFR Successor Rate”. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Company unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

(c) Replacement of Relevant Rate or Successor Rate with respect to Alternative Currency Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Company or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Company) that the Company or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Relevant Rate (other than Term SOFR or the SOFR Daily Floating Rate) for an Agreed Currency (other than Dollars) because none of the tenors of such Relevant Rate (other than Term SOFR or the SOFR Daily Floating Rate) under this Agreement is available or published on a current basis, and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) the Applicable Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of the Relevant Rate (other than SOFR) for an Agreed Currency (other than Dollars) under this Agreement shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of syndicated loans denominated in such Agreed Currency (other than Dollars), or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that will continue

108

to provide such representative tenor(s) of the Relevant Rate (other than Term SOFR or the SOFR Daily Floating Rate) for such Agreed Currency (other than Dollars) (the latest date on which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for such Agreed Currency (other than Dollars) under this Agreement are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Non-SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date”);

or if the events or circumstances of the type described in subsection 4.5(c)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Relevant Rate for an Agreed Currency or any then current Successor Rate for an Agreed Currency in accordance with this subsection 4.5 with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Agreed Currency for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Agreed Currency for such benchmarks (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a “Non-SOFR Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Company unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

(d) Successor Rate. The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Company and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than 0%, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be 0% for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Company and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

(e) For purposes of this subsection 4.5, those Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this Agreement to make, the relevant Loans in the relevant Alternative Currency shall be excluded from any determination of Required Lenders.

4.6 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff (other than with respect to Taxes which shall be governed solely by subsections 4.8 and 4.9). Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the

109

Borrowers 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 Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time determined by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall, unless prohibited by applicable Law, make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount and such payment shall satisfy such Borrower’s obligation with respect thereto. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein, including without limitation the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender’s Alternative Currency Funding Pro Rata Share of any payment made with respect to any Loan as to which any Alternative Currency Participating Lender has not funded its Alternative Currency Risk Participation) of any payment hereunder for the account of the Lenders in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time determined by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, 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 any 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) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. (i) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans or SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) or Alternative Currency Loans 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 with subsection 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 by subsection 2.2) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”), at 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. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the applicable Borrower, and such Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. If such 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 such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by

110

such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by such Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an L/C Issuer hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) a Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrowers (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuers, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, 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 greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

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

(c) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, including Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies in the event they are Alternative Currency Funding Lenders, to fund Alternative Currency Risk Participations (if they are Alternative Currency Participating Lenders) and participations in Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to subsection 11.5(b) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, including Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency in the event it is an Alternative Currency Funding Lender, to fund any such Alternative Currency Risk Participations (if it is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender) or any such participation in Letters of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptances or Swing Line Loans or to make any payment under subsection 11.5(b) 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, including Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency in the event it is an Alternative Currency Funding Lender, to purchase its Alternative Currency Risk Participations (if it is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender) or its participations in Letters of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptances or Swing Line Loans or to make its payment under subsection 11.5(b).

111

(d) 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 any Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, and such funds are not made available to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Section 6 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(e) Defaulting Lenders.

(i) 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:

(A) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of “Required Lenders,” “Required Term A-1 Lenders,” “Required Term A-2 Lenders,” “Required Term A-3 Lenders,” “Required Term A-5 Lenders,” “Required Term A-6 Lenders,” “Required Euro Term Lenders,” “Required Revolving Lenders,” “Required Revolving Euro Tranche Lenders,” “Required Revolving Yen Tranche Lenders” and subsection 11.1.

(B) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 9 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to subsection 11.10 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender or a Revolving Euro Tranche Lender, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender or Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender hereunder; third, if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender, to Cash Collateralize any L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with subsection 3.1(g); fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender, Cash Collateralize any L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with subsection 3.1(g); sixth, in the case of a Defaulting Lender under any Facility, to the payment of any amounts owing to the other Lenders under such Facility (in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, including any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, and, in the case of the Revolving Euro Tranche Facility, including the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender) as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender under such Facility (in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, including any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, and, in the case of the Revolving Euro Tranche Facility,

112

including the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender) against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C-BA Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in subsection 6.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C-BA Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders under the applicable Facility on a pro rata basis (and ratably among all applicable Facilities computed in accordance with the Defaulting Lenders’ respective funding deficiencies) prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C-BA Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender under the applicable Facility until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C-BA Obligations, Swing Line Loans and Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans are held by the applicable Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments hereunder without giving effect to subsection 4.6(e)(i)(D). 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 this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(C) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee payable under subsection 4.3(a), (b) or (c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). Each Defaulting Lender which is a Revolving Credit Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit-BA Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to subsection 3.1(g). With respect to any Letter of Credit-BA Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this subsection, the Company shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender which is a Revolving Credit Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C-BA Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (D) below, (y) pay to the applicable L/C Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

113

(D) Reallocation of Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages/Applicable Revolving Euro Tranche Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C-BA Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders which are Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Non-Defaulting Lender (less, with respect only to the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, the aggregate Alternative Currency Risk Participations in all Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies) plus, with respect only to the Alternative Currency Participating Lenders, the Outstanding Amount of such Lender’s Alternative Currency Risk Participations in Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and advanced by the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, plus such Lender’s participation in L/C-BA Obligations and Swing Line Loans at such time to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders which are Revolving Euro Tranche Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Euro Tranche Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Euro Tranche Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Euro Tranche Loans of any Non-Defaulting Lender, plus such Lender’s participation in Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans at such time to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Euro Tranche Commitment. Subject to subsection 11.24, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(E) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans and Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (e)(i)(D) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure, (y) second, prepay Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (z) third, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsection 3.1(g).

(ii) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent and, in the case that a Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuers and, in the case that a Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Euro Tranche Lender, the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer 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 at par 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 Revolving Credit Loans, Revolving Euro Tranche Loans, Revolving Yen Tranche Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptances, Swing Line Loans and Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to subsection 4.6(e)(i)(D)) under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Revolving Euro

114

Tranche Facility and the Revolving Yen Tranche Facility, whereupon such 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 any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that (x) 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 and (y) the Lender making such purchase shall promptly upon demand reimburse any Revolving Credit Lender, any Revolving Euro Tranche Lender or any Revolving Yen Tranche Lender for any costs of the type described in subsection 4.10 arising as a result of such purchase.

4.7 Illegality. 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 a Relevant Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon a Relevant Rate or to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or maintain Alternative Currency Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans, shall, in each case, be suspended, and (b) 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 Term SOFR 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 Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay all Term SOFR Loans, SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Loans, as applicable, in the affected currency or currencies or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all such Term SOFR Loans or SOFR Daily Floating 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 Term SOFR component of the Base Rate), in each case immediately, or, in the case of Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans to such day and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon Term SOFR or the SOFR Daily Floating Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR 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 Term SOFR or the SOFR Daily Floating Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to subsection 4.10. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the reasonable and good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

115

4.8 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Effective Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender):

(i) shall subject such Lender to any Taxes of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Letter of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptance, any Letter of Credit Application or any Loans made by it or its obligation to make Loans, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for (A) Non-Excluded Taxes covered by subsection 4.9, (B) Taxes described in clauses (C) through (E) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (C) Connection Income Taxes);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Term SOFR Rate, SOFR Daily Floating Rate, Alternative Currency Term Rate or the Alternative Currency Daily Rate hereunder (except any reserve requirement reflected in such rate); or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition (excluding any Tax of any kind whatsoever);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Term SOFR Loans, SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Company from such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, in accordance herewith, the Company shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable with respect to such Term SOFR Loans, SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans, Alternative Currency Loans, Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances, provided that, in any such case, the Company may elect to convert Term SOFR Loans, SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Loans made by such Lender hereunder to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s notice of such election, in which case the Company shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this subsection 4.8(a) and such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 4.10. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Company, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Company shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Effective Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender), does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have

116

achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity requirements) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within ten Business Days after submission by such Lender to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor certifying (x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (b) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the reduction of the rate of return on capital resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount or amounts demanded by such Lender or corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof, the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or corporation for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Company shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of Section 4.7 and this Section 4.8, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

4.9 Taxes. (a) Except as provided below in this subsection or as required by applicable law, all payments made by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto (“Taxes”). If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding.

(b) If any applicable withholding agent shall be required by any applicable Laws to withhold or deduct any Taxes (including Other Taxes) from any payment under any Loan Document, then (i) the applicable withholding agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (iii) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of any such Taxes, including all Other Taxes (all such non-excluded Taxes, other than any Excluded Taxes, “Non-Excluded Taxes”), the amounts so payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the applicable Lender (or in the case of amounts received by the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent)(after deduction or withholding of all Non-Excluded Taxes by the applicable withholding agent) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. For purposes of clause (iii) above and this Agreement, the term “Excluded Taxes” shall mean: (A) Taxes measured by or imposed upon the net income of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or its applicable lending office, or any branch or affiliate thereof, and all franchise Taxes, branch profits Taxes, Taxes on doing business or Taxes measured by or imposed upon the capital, net profits or net worth of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or, in the case of a flow-through entity, any of its beneficial owners) or its applicable lending office, or any branch or affiliate

117

thereof, in each case imposed by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or, in the case of a flow-through entity, any of its beneficial owners), applicable lending office, branch or affiliate is organized or is located, or in which its principal executive office is located, or any nation within which such jurisdiction is located or any political subdivision thereof; (B) Other Connection Taxes; (C) in the case of a Lender, U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan or Commitment pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (I) such Lender acquires such interest in the Loan or Commitment (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Company under subsection 4.11(d)) or (II) such Lender changes its applicable lending office, except, in each case, to the extent that, pursuant to this subsection 4.9(b) or subsection 4.10, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its applicable lending office; (D) Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of subsection 4.9(e); (E) any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA; and (F) in the case of a payment by a Lender to a UK Borrower or vice versa, UK withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender: (1) if on the date on which the payment falls due the payment could have been made to the Lender without such withholding if the Lender had been a UK Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a UK Qualifying Lender other than as a result of a Change of UK Tax Law; (2) where the relevant Lender is a UK Non-Bank Lender and an officer of HMRC has given (and not revoked) a direction under section 931 of the UK Income Tax Act 2007 which relates to the payment and (x) the affected Lender has received from the UK Borrower making such payment a copy of that direction, and (y) payment could have been made to the Lender without such withholding if that direction had not been made; or (3) where the Loan or Commitment is transferred to a new Lender or where a Lender changes its lending office, to the extent that the withholding arises or is increased as a result of a new Lender or lending office acquiring an interest in the Loan or Commitment, except in each case to the extent that amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) (i) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by any Loan Party, reasonably promptly thereafter the Company shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the applicable Loan Party showing payment thereof if such receipt is obtainable. If any Loan Party fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, or any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender pays or withholds or deducts any Non-Excluded Taxes, each Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any such Non-Excluded Taxes and any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Borrower shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which

118

a Lender for any reason fails to pay to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to subsection 4.9(d)(ii) below. Upon making such payment to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower shall be subrogated to the rights of the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 4.9(d)(ii) below against the applicable defaulting Lender (other than the right of set off pursuant to the last sentence of subsection 4.9(d)(ii)).

(ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and each Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of subsection 11.6(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and each Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes other than Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Borrower in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

(e) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding or will permit the applicable Loan Party to apply for consent to make such payments without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) each Lender shall:

(1) on or before the date of such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (x) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable (certifying that it is a resident of the applicable country within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country), Form W-8ECI or Form W-9, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement and any Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (y) such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes;

119

(2) deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certificate previously delivered by it to the Company; and

(3) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent and agree, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Company, to provide to the Company (for the benefit of the Company and the Administrative Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes; or

(B) in the case of any Foreign Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, such Lender shall:

(1) represent to the Company (for the benefit of the Company and the Administrative Agent) that it is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code;

(2) agree to furnish to the Company on or before the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (x) two certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit C (any such certificate a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable, or successor applicable form certifying to such Lender’s legal entitlement at the date of such certificate to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and any Notes (and to deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two further copies of such form or certificate on or before the date it expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recently provided form or certificate and, if necessary, obtain any extensions of time reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms or certificates); and

(3) agree, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Company, to provide to the Company (for the benefit of the Company and the Administrative Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes; or

120

(C) in the case of any Lender that is a foreign intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Lender shall:

(1) on or before the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original signed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY or successor applicable form; and

(x) with respect to each beneficiary or member of such Lender that is a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, on or before the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, also deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable (certifying that such beneficiary or member is a resident of the applicable country within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country), Form W-8ECI or Form W-9, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, in each case certifying that each such beneficiary or member is entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement and any Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be, certifying that each such beneficiary or member is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to all payments under this Agreement and any Notes; and

(y) with respect to each beneficiary or member of such Lender that is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, represent to the Company (for the benefit of the Company and the Administrative Agent) that such beneficiary or member is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, and also deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or successor applicable form, certifying that each such beneficiary or member is entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement and any Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, or two U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates from each beneficiary or member and two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable, or successor applicable form, certifying to such beneficiary’s or member’s legal entitlement at the date of such certificate to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and any Notes;

121

(2) deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such forms, certificates or certifications referred to above on or before the date any such form, certificate or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or any beneficiary or member changes, and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recently provided form, certificate or certification and, obtain such extensions of time reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms, certificates or certifications; and

(3) agree, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Company, to provide to the Company (for the benefit of the Company and the Administrative Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender (or beneficiary or member) to an exemption from withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes; 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 and any regulations thereunder, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company 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 Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company 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 subclause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement and any regulations thereunder; and

(E) in respect of any payments made to any Lender by any UK Borrower:

(1) each Treaty Lender and UK Borrower shall co-operate in promptly completing or assisting with the completion of any procedural formalities necessary for that UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make such payments without deduction of withholding on account of Taxes imposed by the United Kingdom and to maintain that authorization where an authorization expires or otherwise ceases to have effect;

(2) each Lender shall identify next to its name on Schedule E, in an Assignment or Assumption or otherwise by notification to the Administrative Agent and each UK Borrower whether or not it is a UK Qualifying Lender and, if it is a UK Qualifying Lender, whether it is a UK Bank Lender, a UK Non-Bank Lender or a Treaty Lender, and the Administrative Agent and each UK Borrower shall be entitled to treat a Lender as if it were not a UK Qualifying Lender for the purposes of this Agreement until such time as it gives such a confirmation;

122

(3) any Treaty Lender which holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall notify its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence next to its name on Schedule E, in an Assignment or Assumption or otherwise by notification to the Administrative Agent and each UK Borrower; and

(4) each UK Borrower shall file a HM Revenue & Customs’ Form DTTP2 or Form DTTP2A within the following time scales: (x) where such filing relates to a Treaty Lender which is party to this Agreement as a Lender on the date of this Agreement (an “Original Treaty Lender”) and: (i) where the UK Borrower is also a party to this Agreement on the date of this Agreement, within 30 days of the date of this Agreement, or (ii) where the UK Borrower subsequently becomes a party to this Agreement (an “Additional UK Borrower”), within 30 days of the date on which that Additional UK Borrower becomes a party to this Agreement; or (y) where such filing relates to a Treaty Lender which is not an Original Treaty Lender and: (i) where the UK Borrower is a Borrower on the date that Treaty Lender becomes a party to this Agreement as a Lender, within 30 days of that date; or (ii) where the UK Borrower is not a Borrower on the date that Treaty Lender becomes a party to this Agreement as a Lender, within 30 days of the date on which that UK Borrower becomes an Additional UK Borrower.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, anything to the contrary, no Lender shall be required to take any of the foregoing actions in this subsection 4.9(e) if any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred after the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder (or a beneficiary or member in the circumstances described in subsection 4.9(e)(ii)(C) above, if later) which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender (or such beneficiary or member) from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Company and the Administrative Agent. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to subsection 11.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms, certifications and statements required pursuant to this subsection, provided that in the case of a Participant the obligations of such Participant pursuant to this subsection 4.9(e) shall be determined as if such Participant were a Lender except that such Participant shall furnish all such required forms, certifications and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

(f) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to subsection 4.9(e) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) The agreements in this subsection 4.9 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

123

4.10 Indemnity. Other than with respect to Taxes (other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind arising from any non-Tax claim), which shall be governed solely by subsections 4.8 and 4.9, the Company agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (other than through such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) as a consequence of (a) default by any Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Term SOFR Loans, SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Loans, as applicable, after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by any Borrower in making any prepayment or conversion of Term SOFR Loans, SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Loans, as applicable, after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a payment or prepayment of Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans, as applicable, or the conversion of Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans, as applicable, on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto (including, without limitation, as a result of a request by any Borrower pursuant to subsection 11.1(d)). Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or conversion or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans, as applicable, provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank market. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts under the indemnity contained in this subsection 4.10, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Company, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in clause (a), (b) or (c) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the loss or expense sustained or incurred by such Lender as a consequence thereof and (z) as to the amount for which such Lender seeks indemnification hereunder and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any indemnification pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Company shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

4.11 Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts. (a) Upon the request, and at the expense, of the Company, each Lender to which any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to subsection 4.8 or 4.9, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall reasonably afford the Company the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with the Company in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) such Lender shall not be required to afford the Company the opportunity to so contest unless the Company shall have confirmed in writing to such Lender its obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Company shall reimburse such Lender for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with the Company in contesting the imposition of such Non-Excluded Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing no Lender shall be required to afford the Company the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the Company in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Taxes, if such Lender in good faith determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it.

(b) If a Lender changes its applicable lending office (other than pursuant to paragraph (c) below) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause a Borrower to become obligated to pay any additional amount under subsection 4.8 or 4.9, such Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount.

124

(c) If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional amount to any Lender by any Borrower pursuant to subsection 4.8 or 4.9, such Lender shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Loans held by such Lender at another lending office, or through another branch or an affiliate, of such Lender); provided that such Lender shall not be required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless the Company agrees to reimburse such Lender for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof).

(d) If any Borrower shall become obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to subsection 4.8 or 4.9 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for payments under subsection 4.8 or 4.9, the Company shall have the right, for so long as such obligation exists, (i) with the assistance of the Administrative Agent, to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company to purchase the affected Loan, in whole or in part, at an aggregate price no less than such Loan’s principal amount plus accrued interest, and assume the affected obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) upon at least four Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, to prepay the affected Loan, in whole or in part, subject to subsection 4.10, without premium or penalty. In the case of the substitution of a Lender, the Company, the Administrative Agent, the affected Lender, and any substitute Lender shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed Assignment and Assumption pursuant to subsection 11.6(b) to effect the assignment of rights to, and the assumption of obligations by, the substitute Lender; provided that any fees required to be paid by subsection 11.6(b) in connection with such assignment shall be paid by the Company or the substitute Lender. In the case of a prepayment of an affected Loan, the amount specified in the notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. In the case of each of the substitution of a Lender and of the prepayment of an affected Loan, the Company shall first pay the affected Lender any additional amounts owing under subsections 4.8 and 4.9 (as well as any commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender, including, without limitation, any amounts under this subsection 4.11) prior to such substitution or prepayment.

(e) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund directly attributable to Taxes for which any Borrower has made additional payments pursuant to subsection 4.8(a) or 4.9, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly pay such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto received from the relevant taxing authority) to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under subsection 4.8(a) or 4.9 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and without interest (other than as specified above); provided, however, that each Borrower agrees promptly to return such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto due to the relevant taxing authority) (free of all Non-Excluded Taxes) to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, upon receipt of a notice that such refund is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the Administrative Agent or applicable Lender be required to pay any amount to any Borrower pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

125

(f) The obligations of a Lender or Participant under this subsection 4.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all amounts payable hereunder.

5.2 No Change; Solvent. (a) Since December 31, 2023, except as and to the extent disclosed on Schedule 5.2, there has been no development or event relating to or affecting any Loan Party which has had or would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) as of the Effective Date, after giving effect to the incurrence of the Indebtedness pursuant hereto, each Borrower is Solvent.

126

Each Loan Party has the requisite power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to obtain Credit Extensions hereunder, and each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to authorize the Credit Extensions on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any Notes and the Letter of Credit Applications. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other similar act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or, in the case of each Borrower, with the Credit Extensions hereunder, except for (a) consents, authorizations, notices and filings described in Schedule 5.4, all of which have been obtained or made prior to the Effective Date, (b) filings to perfect the Liens created by the Security Documents, (c) filings pursuant to the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, as amended (31 U.S.C. § 3727 et seq.), in respect of Accounts of the Company and its Subsidiaries the Obligor in respect of which is the United States of America or any department, agency or instrumentality thereof and (d) consents, authorizations, notices and filings which the failure to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Borrower, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party will be duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party when executed and delivered will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

5.5 No Legal Bar.

5.9 Intellectual Property. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or has the legal right to use, all United States patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes necessary for each of them to conduct its business as currently conducted (the “Intellectual Property”) except for those the failure to own or have such legal right

127

to use would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as provided on Schedule 5.9, no claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Company know of any such claim, and, to the knowledge of the Company, the use of such Intellectual Property by the Company and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements which in the aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.10 [Reserved].

5.11 Taxes. To the knowledge of the Company, each of Holding and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all United States federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed and has paid (a) all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and (b) all taxes shown to be due and payable on any assessments of which it has received notice made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any (i) taxes, fees or other charges with respect to which the failure to pay, in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) taxes, fees or other charges the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of Holding or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be).

With respect to any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Company shall at such time Cash Collateralize an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance. The Company hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Credit Lenders, a security interest in such Cash Collateral to secure all obligations of the Company in respect of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Company shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Credit Lenders, such further documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence the creation and perfection of such security interest in such cash collateral account. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder. After all Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances, as applicable, shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Unreimbursed Amounts shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Company.

Except as expressly provided above in this Section 9, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived.

After the exercise of remedies provided for in this Section 9 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C-BA Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in this Section 9), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of subsections 3.1(g) and 4.6(e), be applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 6.5 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement; provided that Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth in Section 6.5 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements may, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank, as the case may be. Each Hedge Bank and each Cash Management Bank not a party to this Agreement who obtains the benefit of the foregoing provision or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any Security Document shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 10 hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party to this Agreement.

SECTION 10. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.1 Appointment and Authority. (a) Each of the Lenders (in their respective capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if applicable), Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender (if applicable), potential Hedge Bank and potential Cash Management Bank) and the applicable L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and neither the Company nor any

164

other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in their respective capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if applicable), Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender (if applicable), potential Hedge Bank and potential Cash Management Bank) and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 10.5 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

10.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.2 shall likewise apply to the Person serving as the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender.

10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any discretionary action that, in its reasonable opinion or the reasonable opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

165

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in subsection 11.1 and Section 9) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach in bad faith as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company, a Lender or an L/C Issuer.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 6 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

10.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it with reasonable care, and shall not be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

10.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent with reasonable care; provided that no such delegation shall serve as a release of the Administrative Agent from any of its responsibilities hereunder or as a waiver by the Company of any of its rights hereunder. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related

166

Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment or been consented to by the Company, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) except for indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in subsection 4.9(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring Administrative Agent of such resignation effective date), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 10 and subsection 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including (A) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Lenders and (B) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender, Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender and Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender. If Bank of America resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C-BA Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to subsection 3.1(c)). If Bank of America

167

resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line 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 to subsection 2.4(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation (including the right to require the Lenders to fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans pursuant to subsection 2.7(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency 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 Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency pursuant to subsection 2.2(e)). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender, Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender and Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender, Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender and Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit and bankers acceptances in substitution for the Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances and (iv) the successor Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender shall make arrangements with the resigning Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender for the funding of all outstanding Alternative Currency Risk Participations.

10.8 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agree that the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C-BA Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Company) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C-BA Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent under subsections 3.1(i) and (j), 4.3 and 11.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

168

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel as provided herein, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under subsections 4.3 and 11.5.Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Capital Stock or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Capital Stock thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (i) through (xvi) of subsection 11.1(a)), (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Capital Stock and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Capital Stock and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

169

10.9 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (in their respective capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if applicable), Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender (if applicable), potential Hedge Bank and potential Cash Management Bank) and the L/C Issuers irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent:

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the occurrence of the Facility Termination Date, (ii) that is disposed or to be disposed as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with subsection 11.1, (iv) owned by a Guarantor upon release of such Guarantor from its Guarantor Obligations pursuant to clause (b) below or (v) upon any Collateral/Covenant Release Date as provided herein and pursuant to the Security Documents;

(b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder;

(c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted hereunder; and

(d) to take any other action required to be taken by it under the terms of any Security Document.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party pursuant to this subsection 10.9. In each case as specified in this subsection 10.9, the Administrative Agent will, at the Company’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this subsection 10.9.

10.10 Other Secured Parties. Without limitation of any of the terms set forth in Section 8 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, no Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank (other than the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders) who obtains the benefit of the provisions of subsection 6.5 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangement have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements to the extent the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements in the case of a Facility Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans and all other amounts owing under this Agreement become due and payable pursuant to Section 9).

The Company agrees (i) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives for all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities contemplated herein (including the reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent’s due diligence investigation) contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives and such additional local counsel thereto retained with the consent of the Company, (ii) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of, and any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including the monitoring of the Collateral), including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of one primary counsel (and such necessary and appropriate local counsel) for the Administrative Agent and such additional counsel retained with the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iii) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel to the Administrative Agent (and such necessary and appropriate local counsel) and one counsel for each other class of Lenders (in each case, subject to additional counsel as a result of actual or perceived conflicts of interest), and any reasonable Environmental Costs incurred by any of them arising out of or in any way relating to any Loan Party or any property in which any Loan Party has had any interest at any time, (iv) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives from and against, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (v) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives (and their respective Affiliates and the respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, controlling persons, agents, successors and assigns of each Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Other Representatives and their respective Affiliates) (each an “indemnified party”) from and against, any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (whether or not caused by any such Person’s own negligence (other than gross negligence as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) and including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents (regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any such Other Representative or any Lender is a party to the litigation or other proceeding giving rise thereto and regardless of whether any such litigation or other proceeding is brought by the Company or any other Person), including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the violation of, noncompliance with, or liability under, any Environmental Laws or any orders,

180

requirements or demands of Governmental Authorities related thereto applicable to the operations of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (but excluding proceedings and claims solely between or among the Lenders which involve no act or omission of the Company (but including proceedings brought by any Lender against the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any of the Arrangers acting in its capacity as such)) (all the foregoing in this clause (v), collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), provided that the Company shall not have any obligation hereunder to the Administrative Agent, any such Other Representative or any Lender with respect to Environmental Costs or indemnified liabilities arising from (x) the breach in bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified party (or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns) as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) claims made or legal proceedings commenced against any indemnified party by any security holder or creditor thereof arising out of and based upon rights afforded any such security holder or creditor solely in its capacity as such (and not arising out of any act or omission of Holding or any of its Subsidiaries). The Company shall not be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one primary counsel (and one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction) in each claim or proceeding (or series of related claims or proceedings) for which indemnification is sought by the indemnified parties except, in each case, with respect to additional counsel for the indemnified parties as a result of an actual or perceived conflict of interest. Each indemnified party shall be obligated to refund or return any and all amounts paid by the Company pursuant to this subsection 11.5 to such indemnified party for any fees, expenses or damages to the extent such indemnified party is not entitled to payment thereof in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in clauses (iii) and (iv) above, the Company shall have no obligation under this subsection 11.5 to the Administrative Agent, any Other Representative or any Lender with respect to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim). The agreements in this subsection shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Company for any reason fails to pay any amount required under subsection 11.5(a) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender, the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the applicable L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender, the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the aggregate Total Outstandings plus the unused Commitments at such time) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the applicable L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender or the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the applicable L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender or the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection 11.5(b) are subject to the provisions of subsection 4.6(e).

181

11.6 Successors and Assigns. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection 11.6(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection 11.6(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection 11.6(g) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection 11.6(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(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(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection 11.6(b), Alternative Currency Risk Participations and participations in L/C-BA Obligations, in Swing Line Loans and in Swing Line Euro Tranche 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 under any Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under such Facility 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, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of any Term Facility, the Alternative Currency Equivalent amount in Euro of $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Euro Tranche Facility, or the Alternative Currency Equivalent amount in Yen of $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Yen Tranche Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company 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;

182

(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, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis;

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

(A) the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) a Specified Default (with respect to the Company only) 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 Company 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 for assignments in respect of (i) any Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (ii) any Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(C) the consent of each L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding);

(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility;

(E) the consent of the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if upon effectiveness of the applicable assignment the proposed assignee would be an Alternative Currency Participating Lender with respect to any Alternative Currency; and

(F) the consent of the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Euro Tranche Facility.

(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 Company. No such assignment shall be made to the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

183

(vi) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person or to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary of a Defaulting Lender.

(vii) No Assignment Resulting in Additional Non-Excluded Taxes. No such assignment shall be made to any Person that, through its Lending Offices, is not capable of lending the applicable Alternative Currencies to the Borrowers without the imposition of any additional Non-Excluded Taxes.

(viii) Notes. The assigning Lender shall deliver all Notes evidencing the assigned interests to the Company or the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall deliver such Notes to the Company).

(ix) 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 sub-participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptances, Swing Line Loans and Swing Line Euro Tranche 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 11.6(c), 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 shall make all acknowledgments, representations and warranties required of a Lender hereunder, 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 subject to the obligations under and entitled to the benefits of subsections 4.8, 4.9, 4.10 and 11.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed 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 and upon surrender by the assigning Lender of all Notes evidencing the assigned interests, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a 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 11.6(d).

184

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, 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 L/C-BA Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the processing and recordation fee referred to in subsection (b)(iv) of this subsection 11.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by subsection (b)(iii) of this subsection 11.6, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and the Borrowers, 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by any 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, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Company or any of the Company’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 Alternative Currency Risk Participations and its participations in L/C-BA Obligations, Swing Line Loans and/or Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans) 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, (iii) the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (iv) the granting of such participation shall not require that any cost or expense of any kind at any time be borne by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof and shall not result in any increase in any payment of any kind to be made by the Company or any Subsidiary under any Loan Document unless the Company expressly agrees in writing to bear such cost, expense or increase in payment in connection with the relevant 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 the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; 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 clause (ii) of the first proviso to subsection 11.1(a) that directly affects such Participant (it being understood that (i) any vote to rescind any acceleration made pursuant to Section 9 of amounts owing with respect to the Loans and other Obligations and (ii) any modifications of the provisions relating to amounts, timing or application of prepayments of Loans and other Obligations shall not require the approval of such Participant). Subject to subsection 11.6(e), each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 4.8, 4.9 and 4.10 (subject to the requirements of those sections, including timely delivery of forms pursuant to subsection 4.9) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection 11.6(b). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s

185

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

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. No Loan Party shall be obligated to make any greater payment under subsection 4.8 or 4.9 than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation, unless the sale of such participation is made upon the request or with the prior written consent of the Company and each Borrower expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such participation. Any Participant that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall not be entitled to the benefits of subsection 4.9 unless such Participant complies with subsection 4.9(e) and provides the forms and certificates referenced therein to the Lender that granted such participation.

(f) Voting Participants. Notwithstanding anything in this subsection 11.6 to the contrary, any Farm Credit Lender that (i) has purchased a participation from any Lender that is a Farm Credit Lender in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 on or after the Effective Date, (ii) is, by written notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent (a “Voting Participant Notification”), designated by the selling Lender as being entitled to be accorded the rights of a voting participant hereunder (any Farm Credit Lender so designated being called a “Voting Participant”) and (iii) receives the prior written consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent to become a Voting Participant, shall be entitled to vote (and the voting rights of the selling Lender shall be correspondingly reduced), on a dollar for dollar basis, as if such Voting Participant were a Lender, on any matter requiring or allowing a Lender to provide or withhold its consent, or to otherwise vote on any proposed action, in each case, in lieu of the vote of the selling Lender; provided, however, that if such Voting Participant has at any time failed to fund any portion of its participation when required to do so and notice of such failure has been delivered by the selling Lender to the Administrative Agent, then until such time as all amounts of its participation required to have been funded have been funded and notice of such funding has been delivered by the selling Lender to the Administrative Agent, such Voting Participant shall not be entitled to exercise its voting rights pursuant to the terms of this subsection 11.6(f), and the voting rights of the selling Lender shall not be correspondingly reduced by the amount of such Voting Participant’s participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Farm Credit Lender designated as a Voting Participant on Schedule 11.6(f) shall be a Voting Participant without delivery of a Voting Participant Notification and without the prior written consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent. To be effective, each Voting Participant Notification shall, with respect to any Voting Participant, (A) state the full name of such Voting Participant, as well as all contact information required of an assignee as set forth in Exhibit D, (B) state the dollar amount of the participation purchased and (C) include such other information as may be required by the Administrative Agent. The selling Lender and the Voting Participant shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Company within three Business Days of any termination of, or reduction or increase in the amount of, such participation and shall promptly upon request of the Administrative Agent update or confirm there has been no change in the information set forth in

186

Schedule 11.6(f) or delivered in connection with any Voting Participant Notification. Each Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information provided by a Lender identifying itself or its participant as a Farm Credit Lender without verification thereof and may also conclusively rely on the information set forth in Schedule 11.6(f), delivered in connection with any Voting Participant Notification or otherwise furnished pursuant to this subsection 11.6(f) and, unless and until notified thereof in writing by the selling Lender, may assume that there have been no changes in the identity of Voting Participants, the dollar amount of participations, the contact information of the participants or any other information furnished to any Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection 11.6(f). The voting rights hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Voting Participants and shall not inure to any assignee or participant of a Voting Participant.

(g) 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 Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central banking authority; 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.

(h) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(i) Resignation as an L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender or Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time (i) Bank of America or any other Lender acting as an L/C Issuer assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to subsection 11.6(b), (A) Bank of America or such other Lender, may upon 30 days’ notice to the Company and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer, (B) Bank of America may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Company, resign as Swing Line Lender and/or (C) Bank of America may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Company and the Lenders, resign as Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, or (ii) Bank of America assigns all of its Revolving Euro Tranche Commitment and Revolving Euro Tranche Loans pursuant to subsection 11.6(b), Bank of America may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Company, resign as Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender, Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender or Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender, Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender or Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender hereunder which consents to such appointment; provided, however, that no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America or any other Lender as an L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender, Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender or Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America or any other Lender resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances outstanding and all Banker’s Acceptances issuable under any Acceptance Credits outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C-BA Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations pursuant to subsection 3.1(c)). If

187

Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line 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 to subsection 2.4(c). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans pursuant to subsection 2.7(c). If the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender resigns as Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender hereunder with respect to all Alternative Currency Risk Participations outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender and all obligations of any Loan Party or any other Lender with respect thereto (including the right to require Alternative Currency Participating Lenders to fund any Alternative Currency Risk Participations therein in the manner provided in subsection 2.2(e)). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender, Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender and/or Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, (1) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender, Swing Line Euro Tranche Lender or Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, as the case may be, (2) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit and bankers acceptances in substitution for the Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America or such other retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America or such other retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances issued by it, and (3) the successor Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender shall make arrangements with the resigning Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender for the funding of all outstanding Alternative Currency Risk Participations.

11.7 Sharing 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 made by it, the Alternative Currency Risk Participations or the participations in L/C-BA Obligations, in Swing Line Loans or in Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans held by it (but not including any amounts applied by the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender to Loans prior to the funding of risk participations therein) resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations 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, sub-participations in L/C-BA Obligations, Swing Line Loans and Swing Line Euro Tranche Loans or sub-participations in Alternative Currency Risk Participations 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 Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

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

188

(ii) the provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in subsection 3.1(g) 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 sub-participations in L/C-BA Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply).

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

Notwithstanding anything provided for in this Section 11.7, any patronage assets subject to a statutory lien pursuant to the Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended, for the benefit of a Farm Credit Lender shall not be subject to the pro rata sharing provisions set forth in this Section, and such patronage assets and any proceeds thereof shall not be subject to set-off as provided in subsection 11.10.

11.8 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent or any Arranger hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any Arranger to any Lender or each L/C Issuer as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent or such Arranger have disclosed material information in their (or their Related Parties’) possession. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer represents to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers hereunder. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender or L/C Issuer for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or L/C Issuer, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.

11.9 Judgment. (a) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of any Borrower in respect of this Agreement and any Note due to any party hereto or any holder of any bond shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than the currency in which the sum originally due to such party or such holder is denominated (the “original currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such party or such holder (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in the judgment currency such party or such holder (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the original currency with the judgment currency; if the amount of the original currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such party or such holder (as the case may be) in the original currency, the Company agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such party or such holder (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the original currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any party to this Agreement or any holder of Notes (as the case may be), such party or such holder (as the case may be), agrees to remit to the Company, such excess. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

11.10 Right of Set-Off. The Company hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates at any time and from time to time without notice to the Company or any other Loan Party, any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under subsection 9(a) so long as any amount remains unpaid after it becomes due and payable by the Company or any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to set-off and appropriate and apply against any such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such other Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any such Affiliate may elect; 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 subsection 4.6(e) 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, the L/C Issuers 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 Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates shall notify the Company promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any such Affiliate of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates under this subsection 11.10 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any such Affiliate may have.

11.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be delivered to the Company and the Administrative Agent.

190

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.

11.12 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this subsection 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 affected L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

11.13 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of each of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

11.14 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this subsection any consequential, indirect, incidental, special or punitive damages.

191

11.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of the Loan Documents and the Credit Extensions hereunder occurring on or prior to the Effective Date, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (a)(i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (ii) each Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) each Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b)(i) the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and each Lender each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Company or any of its Affiliates or any other Person and (ii) none of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender has any obligation to the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Company or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger and any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with the Loan Documents or the Credit Extensions hereunder occurring on or prior to the Effective Date.

11.17 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

11.19 Existing Credit Agreement Amended and Restated.

(a) Amendment and Restatement. On the Effective Date, (i) this Agreement shall amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety but, for the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall not constitute a novation of the parties’ rights and obligations thereunder, and (ii) the Liens and security interests as granted under the Existing Credit Agreement or any Loan Document (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) securing payment of indebtedness, liabilities and obligations thereunder are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect.

Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers and the Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and the Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrowers and the Guarantors in accordance with the Act. Each Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

11.21 Electronic Execution; Electronic Records. This Agreement, any Loan Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the Loan Parties and each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered.

All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Administrative Agent nor Swing Line Lender is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent or such other Lender Party has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party and/or any Lender Party without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

The Administrative Agent

194

and each other Lender Party shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

Each of the Loan Parties and each Lender Party hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document, and (ii) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Lender Party and each Related Party for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender Party’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

(b) Each Revolving Yen Tranche Lender represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Company and each Designated Borrower permitted to borrow under the Revolving Yen Tranche Facility that such Lender is either (i) a bank organized under the laws of Japan or a branch of such a Japanese bank or (ii) a bank organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof and a “bank” as referred to in Article 11, Paragraph 3(c)(i) of the Convention between the Government of Japan and the Government of the United States of America for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income.

11.24 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Solely to the extent any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

195

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

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

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 11.25, the following terms have the following meanings:

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

196

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

11.26 CoBank Equity. So long as CoBank is a Term Loan Lender hereunder, the Company will acquire equity in CoBank in such amounts and at such times as CoBank may require in accordance with CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan (as each may be amended from time to time), except that the maximum amount of equity that the Company may be required to purchase in CoBank in connection with such Term Loan made by CoBank may not exceed the maximum amount permitted by the Bylaws and Capital Plan in effect as of October 15, 2020. The Company acknowledges receipt of a copy of (a) CoBank’s most recent annual report, and if more recent CoBank’s latest quarterly report, (b) CoBank’s Notice to Prospective Stockholders and (c) CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan, which describe the nature of all of the Company’s cash patronage, stock and other equities in CoBank acquired in connection with its patronage loan from CoBank (the “CoBank Equities”) as well as capitalization requirements, and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof. Each of CoBank and the Company acknowledges that CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan (as each may be amended from time to time) shall govern (i) the rights and obligations of such parties with respect to the CoBank Equities and any patronage refunds or other distributions made on account thereof or on account of the Company’s patronage with CoBank, (ii) the Company’s eligibility for patronage distributions from CoBank (in the form of CoBank Equities and cash) and (iii) patronage distributions, if any in the event of a sale of a participation interest. Each party hereto acknowledges that CoBank has a statutory first lien pursuant to the Farm Credit Act of 1971 (as amended from time to time) on all CoBank Equities that the Company may now own or hereafter acquire, which statutory lien shall be for CoBank’s (or its affiliate’s) sole and exclusive benefit. The CoBank Equities shall not constitute security for the Obligations due to any other Lender. To the extent that any of the Loan Documents create a Lien on the CoBank Equities or on patronage accrued by CoBank for the account of Company (including, in each case, proceeds thereof), such Lien shall be for CoBank’s (or its affiliate’s) sole and exclusive benefit and shall not be subject to pro rata sharing hereunder. Neither the CoBank Equities nor any accrued patronage shall be offset against the Obligations hereunder except that, in the event of an Event of Default, CoBank may elect, solely at its discretion, to apply the cash portion of any patronage distribution or retirement of equity to amounts owed to CoBank or its affiliate under this Agreement, whether or not such amounts are currently due and payable. Company acknowledges that any corresponding tax liability associated with such application is the sole responsibility of Company. CoBank shall have no obligation to retire the CoBank Equities upon any Event of Default, Default or any other default by Company or any other Loan Party, or at any other time, either for application to the Obligations or otherwise.

11.27 Power of Attorney. If a party to this Agreement is represented by an attorney or attorneys in connection with the execution of this Agreement or any agreement or document pursuant hereto, and the relevant power of attorney is expressed to be governed by Dutch law, such choice of law is hereby accepted by the other party in accordance with article 14 of the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Agency of 14 March 1978.
