provided, that if the Benchmark Replacement would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment”: with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (a) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for syndicated credit facilities.

(b) in the case of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be non-representative or non-compliant with or non-aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks; provided that such non-representativeness, non-compliance or non-alignment will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.

6

For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

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

(c) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks.

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

7

During the Revolving Credit

40

Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Revolving Credit Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof; provided that after the 2025 Revolving Credit Termination Date only the 2027 Revolving Credit Commitments shall be available. The Loans may from time to time be SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.9; provided that, no Loan shall be made as a Term SOFR Loan after the day that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding (i) 2025 Loans on the 2025 Revolving Credit Termination Date and (ii) 2027 Loans on the 2027 Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(c) On the Restatement Effective Date, the Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement (if any) shall be deemed outstanding as Loans under this Agreement and such Loans shall be reallocated to the Lenders hereunder in accordance with their respective pro rata shares of the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (the “Outstanding Loan Reallocation”). Each borrowing of Loans shall be allocated pro rata among the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2027 Revolving Credit Facility; provided that, following the 2025 Revolving Credit Termination Date, all Loans will be made by the 2027 Extending Lenders on a pro rata basis.

2.2 Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Credit Commitments on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period; provided that, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Notice (which Borrowing Notice must be (x) received by the Administrative Agent (i) prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) two Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Term SOFR Loans, (ii) prior to 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans and (y) accompanied by a pro forma Borrowing Base Certificate) or (iii) following the effectiveness of a Benchmark Replacement, prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) five Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Daily Simple SOFR Loans. Each borrowing of Loans under the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of Base Rate Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Credit Commitments are less, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of SOFR Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Credit Commitments are less, such lesser amount). Upon receipt of any such Borrowing Notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Each Lender will make its Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of each borrowing of Loans available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Borrower indicated on the applicable Borrowing Notice at the Funding Office prior to 2:30 P.M. (New York City time) on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

41

2.3 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the appropriate Lender the then unpaid principal amount of (i) each 2025 Loan of such Lender on the 2025 Revolving Credit Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 7.1) and (ii) each 2027 Loan of such Lender on the 2027 Revolving Credit Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 7.1). The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof, in each case, at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.11.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 9.6(c), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.3(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law and absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; 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 the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note evidencing any Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit F, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount; provided that, delivery of Notes shall not be a condition precedent to the occurrence of the Restatement Effective Date or the making of Loans, if any, on the Restatement Effective Date.

2.4 Extension of Revolving Credit Termination Date. (a) The Borrower shall have the option, by delivery of a Termination Date Extension Request to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each of the Lenders) not less than 60 days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date then in effect (the “Existing Termination Date”), to request an extension of the Existing Termination Date, with respect to all, or any portion of, the Revolving Credit Commitments, for an additional one-year period in accordance with this Section 2.4; provided that, (i) no Event of Default or Material Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the applicable extension, (ii) except as to interest, fees and final maturity (which shall be subject to the requirements of this Section 2.4, be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the Termination Date Extension Request), the Revolving Credit Commitments and Loans extended pursuant to a Termination Date Extension Request shall have the same terms as the original Revolving Credit Commitments and Loans subject to such Termination Date Extension Request, (iii) the Borrower may not submit more than two Termination Date Extension Requests and (iv) the Revolving Credit Termination Date, as extended, shall not be later than the fifth anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date.

42

(b) The Termination Date Extension Request shall specify (i) the date to which the Existing Termination Date is to be extended, (ii) the portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments to be extended, (iii) the changes, if any, to the Applicable Margin to be applied in determining the interest payable on the Loans of, and the fees payable hereunder to, Extending Lenders (as defined below) in respect of that portion of their Revolving Credit Commitments and Loans extended to such new Revolving Credit Termination Date and (iv) any other amendments or modifications to this Agreement to be effected in connection with the Termination Date Extension Request; provided that, no such changes or modifications requiring approvals pursuant to the provisos in Section 9.1 shall become effective prior to the then Existing Termination Date and other matters contemplated thereby on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. Each Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, whether to participate in such extension on a pro rata basis. In addition, Lenders may elect to have their Revolving Credit Commitment extended in excess of its pro rata share according to its Revolving Credit Percentage in effect on the date if any other Lender declines to participate in such extension of Revolving Credit Commitments (each Lender holding Revolving Credit Commitments subject to the Termination Date Extension Request being referred to herein as an “Extending Lender”). If the Borrower requests to extend only a portion of the then existing Revolving Credit Commitment, each Lender opting to participate in the extension will be deemed for purposes hereof to be an Extending Lender solely in respect of such extended portion, and the aggregate principal amount of each Type of Loans of such Lender shall be allocated ratably among the extended and non-extended portions of the Loans of such Lender based on the aggregate principal amount of such Loans so extended and not extended. Subject to Section 2.4(d), on the date specified in the Termination Date Extension Request as the effective date thereof, (i) the Existing Termination Date of the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments and Loans shall, as to the Extending Lenders, be extended to such date as shall be specified therein and (ii) such other modifications and amendments hereto specified in the Termination Date Extension Request shall (subject to any required approvals (including those of the Required Lenders) having been obtained) shall become effective.

(c) If a Termination Date Extension Request has become effective hereunder:

43

(ii) on the Existing Termination Date, if the Borrower has elected to extend only a portion of the then-existing Revolving Credit Commitment and Loans, the non-extended portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall include the 2025 Revolving Credit Commitments) shall terminate, and the Borrower shall repay the non-extended portion of such Loans (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall include the 2025 Loans), together with accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and other amounts owing to the applicable Lender hereunder, it being understood and agreed that, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2, such repayments may be funded with the proceeds of new Loans made simultaneously with such repayments by the Extending Lenders, which Loans shall be made ratably by the Extending Lenders in accordance with their extended Revolving Credit Commitments.

(d) The Termination Date Extension Request shall become effective hereunder, on the effective date of such extension, upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) on the Existing Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall have received an officer’s certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that:

(x) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of date; provided that, (A) to the extent that any such representation and warranty relates to a specific earlier date, they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (B) to the extent that any such representation and warranty is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, they shall be true and correct (after giving effect to any such qualification therein) in all respects on such respective dates; and

(y) no Event of Default or Material Default has occurred and is continuing on such date or after giving effect to the requested extension;

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received, for the ratable account of each Extending Lender, an extension fee in the amount agreed to by such Lender; and

(iii) the Extending Lenders, in the aggregate, shall have agreed to extend 50% or more of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is hereby agreed that no extension of an Existing Termination Date in accordance with the express terms of this Section 2.4, or any amendment or modification of the terms and conditions of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Loans of the Extending Lenders effected pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to (i) violate the last sentence of Section 2.6 or Section 2.14 or 9.7 or any other provision of this Agreement or (ii) require the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders under Section 9.1.

44

(f) The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders may enter into an amendment to this Agreement to effect such modifications as may be reasonably necessary to reflect the terms of the Termination Date Extension Request that has become effective in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.4. In connection with such amendment, the Borrower shall, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver a customary opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as to the enforceability of such amendment, this Agreement as amended thereby and such other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby.

2.5 Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to the last day of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, computed at the applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof. If there is any change in the Commitment Fee Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount of the commitment fee shall be computed and multiplied by the Commitment Fee Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Commitment Fee Rate was in effect.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the Fee Letter and otherwise from time to time agreed to in writing by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

2.6 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that, no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Maximum Facility Availability. Any such reduction (excluding any termination of a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.4) shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof (or, if the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments are less, such lesser amount), and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect; provided that, prior to the 2025 Revolving Credit Termination Date, the reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the 2025 Revolving Credit Commitments and the 2027 Revolving Credit Commitments.

2.7 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as otherwise provided herein), upon delivery of an irrevocable (provided that, the notice in connection with any refinancing or similar event may be conditioned on the closing of such refinancing or similar event) Prepayment Notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than (i) 2:00 P.M.

Upon receipt of a Prepayment Notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If a Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such Prepayment Notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Loans that are Base Rate Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Loans (other than after any principal prepayment with respect to a Borrowing Base Asset made by the relevant Underlying Obligor which, immediately after giving effect to such prepayment, does not result in the Borrower being required to make a mandatory prepayment in accordance with Section 2.8) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 thereof (or, if the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans are less, such lesser amount); provided further that prior to the 2025 Revolving Credit Termination Date, the voluntary prepayment of Loans shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the 2025 Loans and the 2027 Loans.

2.8 Mandatory Prepayments. If at any date the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the Maximum Facility Availability calculated as of such date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrowing Base decreases due to a Borrowing Base Asset ceasing to qualify as an Eligible Asset), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans within two Business Days of such date in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than such excess so that the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit no longer exceed the Maximum Facility Availability as of such date; provided that prior to the 2025 Revolving Credit Termination Date, the voluntary prepayment of Loans shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the 2025 Loans and the 2027 Loans.

2.9 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election with delivery of a Conversion/Continuation Notice no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) two Business Days in advance thereof; provided that, any such conversion of SOFR Loans may be made only on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) two Business Days in advance thereof (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a SOFR Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date (as in effect from time to time). Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.

(b) The Borrower may elect to continue any SOFR Loan as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) one Business Day in advance thereof; provided that no SOFR Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Required Lenders have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date; and provided further that if the

46

Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Loans shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.

2.10 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of SOFR Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of SOFR Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the SOFR Loans comprising each SOFR Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if the aggregate SOFR Loans then outstanding are less, such lesser amount).

2.11 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Each Daily Simple SOFR Loan (following the effectiveness of a Benchmark Replacement), shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(d) (i) At any time an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 7.1(a) or 7.1(f) has occurred and is continuing, all outstanding Loans (whether or not overdue) (to the extent legally permitted) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% per annum and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2% per annum, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(e) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand during the applicability of Section 2.11(d). The Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver an invoice 5 Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date; provided that, the Administrative Agent’s failure to deliver an invoice pursuant to this Section 2.11(e) shall not relieve, excuse or waive the Borrower’s payment or other obligation under the Loan Documents.

47

2.12 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a SOFR. 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 Borrower and the relevant 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 Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.11(a), (b) or (c).

2.13 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.21, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto, absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” or, following the effectiveness of a Benchmark Replacement, “Daily Simple SOFR” cannot be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice (by telefacsimile, other electronic image scan transmission (e.g., pdf via email) or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (x) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Term SOFR Loans (or, following the effectiveness of a Benchmark Replacement, Daily Simple SOFR Loans) until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (y) any Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by the Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by the Borrower or, at the Borrower’s request, made as a Base Rate Loan.

2.14 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders, shall be made pro rata according to the Revolving Credit Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment of interest in respect of the Loans and each payment in respect of fees payable hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders.

(c) The application of any payment of Loans (including optional and mandatory prepayments) shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to SOFR Loans. Each payment of the Loans (except Base Rate Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount paid.

48

(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to the Payment Time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Any payment made by the Borrower after the Payment Time on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been made on the next following Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the SOFR Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a SOFR Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be deemed made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing of Loans that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans, on demand, from the Borrower.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment of Loans due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

49

(g) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of payments on behalf of Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments to the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto, in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

2.15 Requirements of Law. (a) If any Change in Law:

(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any SOFR Loan made by it (except for Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement, taxes expressly excluded in (ii)-(iv) under the provisions of Section 2.16(a) in defining “Non-Excluded Taxes” or Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits 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 that is not otherwise included in the determination of Adjusted Term SOFR (or after the effectiveness of a Benchmark Replacement, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR) hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender, in its commercially reasonable judgment, deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining SOFR Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided, however, that with respect to the foregoing, such Lender has made such determination and imposed such increase upon all of its similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

50

(c) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in 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 (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender, in its commercially reasonable judgment, to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction; provided, however, that with respect to the foregoing, such Lender has made such determination and imposed such increase upon all of its similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities.

(d) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.16 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in good faith by an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax, excluding, however, (i) net income Taxes (however denominated), branch profit Taxes, and franchise Taxes (A) imposed on any Recipient by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Recipient is organized or in which its principal office is located or, in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable lending office is located or (B) that are Other Connection Taxes; (ii) Taxes that are attributable to such Recipient’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (e) or (g) of this Section 2.16; (iii) in the case of a Lender, United States federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which such Lender (A) becomes a party to this Agreement (other than pursuant to an assignment request under Section 2.19), or (B) designates a new lending office, except, in each case, to the extent that pursuant to this Section 2.16, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before the time of assignment or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office; or (iv) any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA (Taxes not so excluded, and imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document, “Non-Excluded Taxes”), then, in the case of any Non-Excluded Taxes or any Other Taxes, the amounts so payable to the Recipient shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Recipient (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) In addition, without duplication of other amounts payable by the Borrower or Loan Parties pursuant to Section 2.16(a), the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes 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 Other Taxes.

51

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16(c) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Arranger or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any Taxes that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure, except to the extent that any such amounts are compensated for by an increased payment under Section 2.17(a). The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(e) Each Lender shall deliver documentation and information to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the times and in form required by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sufficient to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not payments made with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents are subject to taxes, and, if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation expired, obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable withholding agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding three sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in (e)(i), (e)(ii) and (h) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

52

(i) Any Lender (or Transferee) that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form) on or about the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) establishing that such Lender is not subject to U.S. backup withholding or such Lender shall otherwise establish an exemption from U.S. backup withholding.

(ii) Each Lender (or Transferee) that in not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant that would be Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender (each, a “Non-U.S. Participant”), to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (together with all required supporting documentation), or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming an exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1, G-2, G-3 or G-4, as applicable, and a Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or about the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Non-U.S. Participant, on or about the date such Non-U.S. Participant purchases the related participation) (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent). Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower (or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Participant, the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, if a Lender is an entity disregarded from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, references to the foregoing documentation are intended to refer to documentation with respect to such Lender’s owner and, as applicable, such Lender.

(g) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as

53

may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(h) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or the Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay all or a portion of such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority, the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, shall repay the amount paid over to the Borrower that is required to be repaid (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender within three Business Days after receipt of written notice that the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund (or a portion thereof) to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower, 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 Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and additional amounts with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid.

(i) Nothing in this Section 2.16 shall require the Lender to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

2.17 Compensation for Losses. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, other than a failure caused by a failure of a Lender to fund its Loan or (d) the assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for any loss, cost and expense (excluding loss of profit) attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

54

2.18 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain SOFR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make SOFR Loans, continue SOFR Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as SOFR Loans, if any, shall, upon notice to the Borrower, be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law; provided, however, that with respect to the foregoing, such Lender has made such determination and imposed such conversion upon all of its similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities. If any such conversion of a SOFR Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.17.

2.19 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided further that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, 2.16(a) or 2.17.

2.20 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. (a) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16 or gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.17, (ii) is a Defaulting Lender, (iii) is a Non-Consenting Lender with a replacement financial institution or (iv) declines to participate in an extension of the Revolving Credit Termination Date as an Extending Lender pursuant to Section 2.4; provided that (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (B) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (C) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall not have taken action under Section 2.19 which has eliminated the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16 or which has eliminated the illegality referred to in such notice of illegality given pursuant to Section 2.17, (D) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par (or such other amount agreed upon by the replacement financial institution and the replaced Lender), all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (E) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.17 (as though Section 2.17 were applicable) if any SOFR Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (F) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be an Eligible Assignee and be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (G) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 (provided that, if applicable, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (H) the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16, as the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such replacement shall be consummated, (I) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender and (J) with respect to any replacement for purposes of Section 2.4, such replacement Lender shall agree to the terms of such applicable Termination Date Extension Request.

55

(b) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment requires the agreement of the Required Lenders, all Lenders or all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1 and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender”.

2.21 Benchmark Replacement Setting.

Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, 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 or any other Loan Document.

56

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

Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Term SOFR Loan of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that any tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

2.22 Defaulting Lender.

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

(i) 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 definition of “Required Lenders”.

57

(ii) 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 7.1 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.7 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), 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; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, 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 in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.5(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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, 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 Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments, 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 the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

58

2.23 Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower shall have the right to request, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, an increase in the 2027 Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (each, a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”) by up to $212,500,000, such that, after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, the aggregate principal amount of all then effective Revolving Credit Commitments does not exceed $637,500,000; provided that (i) any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be on the same terms and pursuant to the documentation applicable to the 2027 Revolving Credit Commitments, except with respect to any commitment, arrangement, upfront or similar fees that may be agreed to among the Borrower and the Increase Loan Lenders and (ii) any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 (and increments of $1,000,000 above $10,000,000) or, if less than $10,000,000 is available, the amount left available.

(b) Each notice submitted pursuant to this Section 2.23 (a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Notice”) requesting a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall specify the amount of the increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments being requested. Upon receipt of a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Notice, the Administrative Agent may (at the direction of the Borrower) promptly notify the applicable Lenders and each such Lender may have the right to elect to have its Revolving Credit Commitment increased by its pro rata share according to its Revolving Credit Percentage in effect on the date (it being understood and agreed that (x) a Lender may elect to have its Revolving Credit Commitment increased in excess of its pro rata share according to its Revolving Credit Percentage in effect on the date, in its discretion if any other Lender declines to participate in the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and (y) the Borrower may elect to offer, or consent to, an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Lender on a basis that is less than its pro rata share according to its Revolving Credit Percentage in effect on the date) of the requested increase in Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) each Lender may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to have its Revolving Credit Commitment increased in connection with any requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, it being understood that no Lender shall be obligated to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment unless it, in its sole discretion, so agrees and, if a Lender fails to respond to any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Notice within ten (10) Business Days after such Lender’s receipt of such request, such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to participate in such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase; (ii) if any Lender declines to participate in any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and, as a result, commitments from additional financial institutions are required in connection with the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, any Person or Persons providing such commitment (such additional financial institutions “Additional Lenders”) shall be subject to the written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld); and (iii) in no event shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to participate in such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase. In the event that any Lender or other Person agrees to participate in any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (each an “Increase Loan Lender”), such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall become effective on such date as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Increase Loan Lenders and the Borrower, which date shall be as soon as practicable after the date of receipt of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Notice (such date, the “Increase Date”); provided that the establishment of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date or would exist after giving effect thereto; (2) the

59

Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be effected pursuant to one or more joinder agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Increase Loan Lenders, each of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Increase Loan Lenders; (3) the Borrower shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by any Additional Lenders providing such Revolving Credit Commitment Increases, customary closing certificates, legal opinions, good standing certificates, resolutions and organizational documents of the type and form delivered on the Restatement Effective Date; (4) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date; provided that, (x) to the extent that any such representation or warranty relates to a specific earlier date, they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (y) to the extent that any such representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct (after giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects on such respective dates; and (5) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent and the Increase Loan Lenders agreed fees and expenses in connection with any such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, to the extent invoices have been received on or prior to the proposed Increase Date.

(c) On the Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.23, (i) the Administrative Agent shall effect a settlement of all outstanding Loans among the Lenders that will reflect the adjustments to the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders as a result of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and Loan Parties of the occurrence of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase to be effected on the Increase Date, (iii) Annex A shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Revolving Credit Commitments of the affected Lenders and (iv) Notes will be issued, at the expense of the Borrower, to any Lender participating in the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and requesting a Note.

(d) Each joinder agreement and any amendment to any Loan Document requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with the establishment of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase may, without the consent of any of the Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement (an “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Agreement”) and the other Loan Documents as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.23.

The Loan Parties do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph.

3.2 No Change. Since December 31, 2023 there has been no development or event that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, which has not been disclosed by the Borrower in accordance with Section 5.7(f) and waived in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.

Each of the Loan Parties (i) is duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the corporate or limited liability company power and authority, and the legal right and all requisite governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals to own and operate its Property and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (iii) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing (to the extent such concept exists in such jurisdiction) under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (iv) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except in the case of clauses (ii) (with respect to requisite governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals only), (iii) and (iv) to the extent that the failure to so qualify or comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the corporate or other 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 the Borrower, to borrow hereunder.

No

61

consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except consents, authorizations, filings and notices required pursuant to the Loan Documents or which have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect. Each Loan Document has been or will be duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each 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).

3.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Loan Party and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation. No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to any Loan Party would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.6 No Material Litigation. Except as otherwise disclosed to the Administrative Agent prior to the Restatement Effective Date or after the Restatement Effective Date pursuant to Section 5.7(c) and waived in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, no litigation, investigation of which the Borrower or any Guarantor has Knowledge or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Borrower or any Guarantor, threatened in writing by or against any Loan Party or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

62

3.9 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board.

3.10 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor a failure to meet the minimum funding standards and benefit limitations of Section 412, 430 or 436 of the Code or Section 302, 303, 304, or 305 of ERISA with respect to any Plan (whether or not waived) has occurred. Each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during the previous five years, nor is expected to arise, nor has any event or circumstance occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to cause the PBGC to institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA. Neither the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No such Multiemployer Plan is, to the Knowledge of the Borrower, Insolvent, nor is the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any Commonly Controlled Entity in “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

Except with respect to any matters that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party has (i) failed to comply with any Environmental Law, (ii) failed to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (iii) become subject to any Environmental Liability that remains outstanding, (iv) received written notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability that remains outstanding or (v) gained Knowledge of any basis for any Environmental Liability that remains outstanding.

63

3.14 Accuracy of Information, etc. (a) None of the information and data heretofore or contemporaneously furnished in writing by or on behalf of any Loan Party (other than financial estimates, forecasts and other forward-looking information, pro forma financial information and information of a general economic or industry-specific nature) to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or any other Loan Document (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) when taken as a whole contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make such information and data (taken as a whole), in light of the circumstances under which it was delivered, not materially misleading, provided that, any such information and data with respect to Borrowing Base Assets only, shall be subject to the Knowledge of the Borrower or any Guarantor.

(b) As of the Restatement Effective Date, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification (if applicable) provided on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date to any Lender in connection with this Agreement is true and correct in all respects.

3.15 Security Documents. Each Security Document is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of the Pledged Stock described in the Pledge Agreement, when any stock certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the other Security Documents, when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.15 (which financing statements have been duly completed and delivered to the Administrative Agent) and such other filings as are specified in the Security Documents have been completed (all of which filings have been duly completed), the Security Documents shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock, Liens permitted by Section 6.3).

3.16 Representations and Warranties Regarding Borrowing Base Assets. Each Borrowing Base Asset is an Eligible Asset. Each Borrowing Base Asset has been either (i) originated directly by the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower or (ii) acquired by a Loan Party (or, solely with respect to any CMBS or CLO Equity Investment, a Borrowing Base Party).

3.17 Solvency. Each Loan Party is, and after giving effect to the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection herewith and therewith will be and will continue to be, Solvent.

3.18 REIT Status. The Borrower has organized and operated in a manner that has allowed it to qualify for REIT Status commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, December 31, 2017.

3.19 Insurance. The Loan Parties are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies (as determined in the good faith judgment of the applicable Loan Party) which are not Affiliates of the Borrower, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar assets (as determined in the good faith judgment of the applicable Loan Party), except to the extent the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

64

3.20 Compliance with Anti-Terrorism, Embargo and Anti-Money Laundering Laws. (a) Neither the Borrower, nor any other Loan Party or Controlled Affiliate has, directly or indirectly, engaged in business dealings with any Sanctioned Person.

(b) Neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party or Controlled Affiliate has derived or used any of its assets in violation of the anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism laws or regulations of the United States, including but not limited to the USA PATRIOT Act, the Money Laundering Control Act, the Bank Secrecy Act and any related Executive Order issued by the President.

(c) Neither the Borrower, nor any other Loan Party or Controlled Affiliate has failed to comply with applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws and regulations (including the FCPA), including failing to comply in any manner that may result in the forfeiture of any Borrowing Base Asset or the proceeds of the Loans or a claim of forfeiture of any Borrowing Base Asset or the proceeds of the Loans.

79

(f) an Act of Insolvency shall have occurred with respect to any Loan Party; or

SECTION 8 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

8.1 Appointment. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

(b) Each Lender hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement and any respective amendments thereto on behalf of such Lender.

8.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

8.3 Exculpatory Provisions. (a) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

81

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 9.6 and all actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders, Required Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders, Required Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

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

82

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

8.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Revolving Credit Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Revolving Credit Percentages immediately prior to such date), for, and to save the Administrative Agent harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Revolving Credit Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

83

8.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

8.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders or another Person that is an Eligible Assignee a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans; provided that, in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution. A resigning Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective (x) in the case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing regardless of whether a successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is thirty days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, upon the expiration of such ten day period, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above, and (y) in all other cases, only at such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

8.10 Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to (a) effect any release of guarantee obligations contemplated by Section 9.15 of this Agreement or Section 2 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, (b) effect any subordination of Liens pursuant to the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement and (c) effect any release of Liens contemplated by Section 8.14(b) of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and Section 7.14(b) of the Pledge Agreement.

8.11 The Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents. The Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents, in their capacities as such, shall have no duties or responsibilities, nor shall the Arrangers, Syndication Agent or the Co-Documentation Agents incur any liability, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

84

8.12 No Duty to Disclose. The Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents nor the Arrangers have any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates.

8.13 Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereby waive and release any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

8.14 Erroneous Payment.

(a) Each Lender (and each Participant of any of the foregoing, by its acceptance of a participation) hereby acknowledges and agrees that if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds (or any portion thereof) received by such Lender (any of the foregoing, a “Payment Recipient”) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) and demands the return of such Payment, such Payment Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment as to which such a demand was made. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limitation of clause (a) above, each Payment Recipient further acknowledges and agrees that if such Payment Recipient receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in an amount, or on a date different from the amount and/or date specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, it understands and agrees at the time of receipt of such Payment that an error has been made (and that it is deemed to have knowledge of such error) with respect to such Payment. Each Payment Recipient agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made.

(c) Any Payment required to be returned by a Payment Recipient under this Section shall be made in same-day funds in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. Each Payment Recipient hereby agrees that it shall not assert and, to the fullest extent permitted

85

by applicable law, hereby waives, any right to retain such Payment, and any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment or similar right to any demand by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payment received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(d) Loan Parties and each other Subsidiary of the Borrower hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Subsidiary except, in each case, to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary.

(e) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

8.15 Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Commitments or this Agreement,

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Commitments and this Agreement,

86

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of credit, the Revolving Credit Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of subsection (b) through (g) of Part I of PET 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Commitments and this Agreement, or

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

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements and other charges of outside counsel to the Administrative Agent (subject to agreed limits) and the charges of the Platform, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of outside counsel to each Lender and of outside counsel to the Administrative Agent, and (c) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, the Administrative Agent, their respective Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all other out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever actually incurred by an Indemnitee or imposed on any Indemnitee in connection with any claim asserted by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party

90

arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any commitment letter or fee letter in connection therewith, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds thereof, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Materials of Environmental Concern on or from any property owned, occupied or operated by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of their respective properties (other than any such presence or release to the extent first arising solely after the date on which the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party enforces its remedies with respect to such property or the Pledged Stock of the applicable Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents following an Event of Default by transferring the respective property or such Pledged Stock pursuant to a foreclosure, accepting a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar transfer thereof or the appointment of a receiver by a court of competent jurisdiction with respect thereto) or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing in this clause (c), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that, the Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (other than with respect to Barclays Bank PLC, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) a material breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons unless determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Revolving Credit Commitments. No Loan Party (or any of their respective Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons or for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Revolving Credit Commitments unless determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Loan Party (or any of their respective Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons); provided that such waiver of special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages shall not otherwise limit the indemnification obligations of the Borrower under this Section. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable

91

not later than 30 days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be submitted to the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 9.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.5 shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

9.6 Successors and Assigns.

(a) 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 neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party 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 paragraph (c) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (e) of this Section (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 paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

(i) Minimum Amounts.

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

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving Credit 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)

92

shall not be less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Revolving Credit Commitment assigned.

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

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

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

(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 of $3,500 (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that no Loan Party shall have any obligation to pay, or reimburse the Administrative Agent for, such recordation fee other than as provided in Section 2.20(a)(F)); provided that, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary thereof.

93

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

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon). 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 paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.5 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. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 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 Revolving Credit Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is

94

recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Register is intended to cause each Loan and other obligation hereunder to be in registered form within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the 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, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 8.7 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that requires the consent of all the Lenders under Section 9.1 that directly affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.16 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that, such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.19 and 2.20 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15 or 2.16, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.20 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.7(b) as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans 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

95

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 Participant Register is intended to cause each Loan and other obligation hereunder to be in registered form within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code. 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) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f) Disqualified Institutions. (i) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). Any assignment or participation to a Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s consent shall be null and void.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders (or prospective Lenders) by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders (or prospective Lenders)and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders (or prospective Lenders) or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.

(iii) The Administrative Agent shall promptly, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent, to post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower and any annual updates thereto (such annual updates becoming effective upon such posting) on the Platform and/or provide such list to each Lender (and each prospective Lender and prospective Participant) requesting the same.

9.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant  

96

to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7.1(f) or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that (i) if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant.

(b) Subject to Sections 9.7(c) and (d), in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender and its Affiliates shall have the right, at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(c) Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender or its Affiliates of offset, set-off, banker’s lien or similar rights against any deposit account or other property or asset of the Borrower or any other Loan Party could result under certain laws in significant impairment of the ability of all Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the Obligations. Each Lender hereby agrees not to charge or offset any amount owed to it by Borrower against any of the accounts, property or assets of the Borrower or any other Loan Party held by such Lender without the prior written approval of the Required Lenders.

(d) In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

9.8 Counterparts and Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or in electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

97

(b) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) 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.

9.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that 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.

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

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.
