(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Standards, as in effect from time to time; provided, that all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to (i) any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159) (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein and (ii) any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof; provided further, that if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Initial Closing Date in the Applicable Accounting Standards or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in the Applicable Accounting Standards or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of the Applicable Accounting Standards as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith.

Section 1.03 Effectuation of Transactions. Each of the representations and warranties of Holdings and the Borrower contained in this Agreement (and all corresponding definitions) are made after giving effect to the Transactions as shall have taken place on or prior to the date of determination, unless the context otherwise requires.

Section 1.04 Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents. For purposes of determining compliance as of any date with Sections 6.01, 6.02, 6.03 and 6.04, determining the “Required Lenders” under the Loan Documents and all other purposes under the Loan Documents (except for the purposes of financial statements delivered by the Borrower hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or as otherwise provided for in the Loan Documents), the applicable amount of any currency (other than U.S. Dollars) shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount so determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. No Default or Event of Default shall arise as a result of any limitation or threshold set forth in U.S. Dollars in ARTICLE VI or paragraph (f) or (j) of Section 7.01 being exceeded solely as a result of changes in currency exchange rates from those rates applicable on the first day of the fiscal quarter in which such determination occurs or in respect of which such determination is being made.

Section 1.05 [Reserved].

Section 1.06 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware Law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original person to the subsequent person, and (b) if any new person comes into existence, such new person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

Section 1.07 Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

Section 2.01 Commitments. (a) Initial Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make term loans denominated in U.S. Dollars (each, an “Initial Loan”) from its Lending Office to the Borrower on the Initial Closing Date.

(b) Additional Loans. Each Lender having an Additional Commitment agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.20 and Section 4.02 and otherwise in the applicable Additional Loan Assumption Agreement, to make Additional Loans to the Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Additional Commitment.

Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings. The Loans shall be made by Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided, that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Loans may not be reborrowed. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

51

Section 2.03 Minimum Amounts; Limitations on Number of Borrowings(a) . Each Borrowing of Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum (or, in each case, if less, in an amount equal to the entire unused balance of the Commitments). The Borrower may borrow a maximum of two (2) Loans (other than any Extended Loans or Refinancing Term Loans).

Section 2.04 Requests for Borrowings. (a) To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request in writing in the form of a Borrowing Request not later than (x) for Loans made on the Initial Closing Date, 1:00 p.m., New York City Time on the date falling three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing and (y) for Loans made on the Additional Closing Date, 1:00 p.m., New York City Time on the date falling three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Any such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable unless such Borrowing Request expressly conditions such Borrowing upon consummation of a transaction, in which event such Borrowing Request may be revocable (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) or conditioned upon such consummation and shall be provided by facsimile or electronic means to the Administrative Agent in the form of a Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower:

(b) Each written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01:

(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing, which shall not, together with the aggregate principal amount of any other relevant Loans then outstanding or requested, exceed the aggregate outstanding Commitments at such time;

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; and

(iii) the wiring information of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.

Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.04, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Loan requested pursuant to this Section 2.04. The proceeds of the Loans requested under this Section 2.04 shall be disbursed by the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such bank account or accounts as designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request. If at any time any Loan is funded in excess of the amount requested by the Borrower, the Borrower agrees to repay the excess to the Administrative Agent promptly upon the earlier to occur of (a) the Borrower’s discovery of the error and (b) notice thereof to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender.

Section 2.05 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., New York City Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request.

52

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.05 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, but in no event shall it be obligated to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate and (y) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the Loans at such time. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. If the Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount (exclusive of any interest thereon) shall constitute a reduction of the Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that has failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.06 Termination and Reduction of Initial Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Initial Commitments shall automatically terminate on the earlier of (x) the Additional Closing Date (upon funding of the Loans requested to be borrowed on such date) and (y) the Maturity Date. The Initial Commitment of each Lender shall be automatically reduced by the amount of the funding made by such Lender on the Initial Closing Date. The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Initial Commitments; provided, that each reduction of the Initial Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Initial Commitments).

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce Commitments under Section 2.06(a) (x) for Loans made on the Initial Closing Date, at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof; and (y) for Loans made on the Additional Closing Date, at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice of termination of any Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar financing agreements, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 2.07 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) (i) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders in accordance with their respective participations in the Loans, commencing with the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the Initial Closing Date, an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to the amount set out in column A below on the date set out opposite that amount in column B below (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.09):

53

(ii) To the extent not previously paid, the outstanding amount of any Loan, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date therefor.

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

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

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 2.07 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence, currencies and amounts of the obligations recorded therein absent manifest error; provided, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans to the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the records maintained by any Lender and the records maintained by the Administrative Agent in such matters, the records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Promissory Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Promissory Note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and such Lender and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Promissory Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more Promissory Notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such Promissory Note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.08 Notice of Optional Prepayment of Loans. Prior to any prepayment of any Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(a), the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which may be by electronic means) of such selection not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City Time at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) before the scheduled date of such prepayment

54

(which notice shall specify (x) the prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day) and (y) the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid (set forth in the amount of the currency applicable to such Loan); provided, that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar financing agreements, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Subject to Section 2.16(b), each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each applicable Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the outstanding Loans of the applicable Lenders at the time of such repayment).

Section 2.09 Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to (i) the Prepayment Premium and (ii) Section 2.14), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Prepayment Multiple and not less than the Prepayment Minimum applicable to such Loans or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.08. Any optional prepayments of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09(a) shall be applied as directed by the Borrower and, in the absence of any such direction, to the remaining scheduled amortization payments for such Loans in the direct order of maturity on a pro rata basis and the Administrative Agent shall have received a prepayment notice in respect thereof in accordance with Section 2.08.

(b) If the Borrower voluntarily prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Loans prior to, in respect of the Loans made on the Initial Closing Date, the twelve-month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the Lenders holding Loans immediately prior to the consummation of such voluntary prepayment, refinancing, substitution or replacement (each, a “Relevant Transaction”) (including each Lender holding Loans immediately prior to the consummation of such Relevant Transaction that withholds its consent to such Relevant Transaction and is replaced pursuant to Section 2.17), a prepayment premium equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans so voluntarily prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced. Such amounts (the “Prepayment Premium”) shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of the applicable Relevant Transaction.

(c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Cash Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, not later than the tenth (10th) Business Day) following the day such Net Cash Proceeds are received, prepay Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, that, in the case of any event described in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any disposition or any casualty event that, in either case, is subject to the application of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.09, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower may (in lieu of making a prepayment pursuant to the foregoing provisions) elect to reinvest (directly, or indirectly through one or more of its Subsidiaries) an amount equal to all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets used or useful for the business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (1) within six months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (2) if the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within twelve months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, no later than 180 days after the end of such six month period; provided that if any portion of such amount is no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election or is not so reinvested within such six month or twelve month period, as applicable, subject to Sections 2.09(d) and (f), an amount equal to 100% of such portion shall be applied within ten (10) Business Days after (x) the Borrower or such Subsidiary reasonably determine that such amount is no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested to the prepayment of the Loans as set forth above or (y) such six month or twelve month period, as applicable, if such portion is not so reinvested by such time.

55

(d) To the extent practicable, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which may be by electronic means) of any mandatory prepayment hereunder not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City Time at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) before the scheduled date of such prepayment, or in each case, such shorter period of time as the Administrative Agent may agree. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each applicable Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the outstanding Loans of the applicable Lenders at the time of such repayment); provided, that any Lender may elect not to accept its ratable share of any mandatory prepayment required as a result of the occurrence of any event specified in clause (a) of the definition of “Prepayment Event”, in which case such declined amount shall be offered to each other Lender as repayment of the Loans in accordance with this sentence; provided, further, that if each Lender has either (x) been repaid in full or (y) elected not to accept its ratable share of such mandatory prepayment pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso, the Borrower may use the remaining amount of such mandatory prepayment not applied to repay the Loans for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Loan Documents.

(e) Prepayments of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(c) shall be applied without penalty or premium (including without the Prepayment Premium but subject to Section 2.14) to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Loans to be made pursuant to Section 2.07 on a pro rata basis as directed by the Borrower (or in the absence of direction from the Borrower, in the direct order of maturity).

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.09, to the extent any Net Cash Proceeds is attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary, each payment pursuant to Section 2.09(c) (x) shall be net of any additional taxes paid, or estimated by the Borrower in good faith to be payable, as a result of the repatriation of such Net Cash Proceeds and (y) shall not be required to the extent repatriation of such amounts (i) would be prohibited or restricted under applicable local Law (including any Law with respect to financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on repatriating or upstreaming of cash intra-group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the relevant Subsidiaries) or would reasonably be expected to give rise to risk of liability for the directors of such Subsidiaries or (ii) would result or would reasonably be expected to result in material adverse tax consequences (including, as a result of any withholding tax or the upstreaming of cash) to any Parent Entity, the Borrower or any Subsidiary as determined in good faith by the Borrower at the time the corresponding payments would otherwise be required to be made pursuant to Section 2.09(c). The non-application of the prepayment amounts as a consequence of this Section 2.09(f) will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of Default, and such amounts shall be available for working capital or other purposes of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary (or any other Foreign Subsidiary) not otherwise prohibited by the Loan Documents.

(g) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default under Section 7.01(q)(iii), any Eligible Exit Lender may elect to exit the facility by providing written notice of such election to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (each, an “Election Notice”). Promptly upon receipt of any Election Notice from an Eligible Exit Lender, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to such Eligible Exit Lender the aggregate amount of all outstanding Loan Document Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Eligible Exit Lender (including accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, including the Prepayment Premium, as applicable), at which point such Eligible Exit Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.05 (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections) in its capacity as a Lender (but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall cease to be a Lender for all other purposes, including any voting rights).

56

Section 2.10 Interest. (a) Each Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for therefor plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, the Default Rate plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding clause of this Section 2.10 or (ii) in the case of any other amount payable by the Borrower, the Default Rate plus the rate applicable to Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section; provided, that this paragraph (b) shall not apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.08.

(c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and (ii) on the applicable Maturity Date; provided, that (x) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.10 shall be payable on demand and (y) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.

(d) All interest payable with respect to Loans hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (or in the case of interest computed by reference to the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, such interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year)), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. All interest hereunder on any Loan shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Loan as of the applicable date of determination.

(e) Term SOFR and the Base Rate, as applicable, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall notify each relevant party promptly of the determination of a rate of interest relating to any Loan.

(f) In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, 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 (and the Lenders hereby (i) authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to make any Conforming Changes (and to enter into any modifications to this Agreement or other Loan Documents implementing such Conforming Changes) that have been consented or agreed to by the Required Lenders (if such Conforming Changes relate to the use or administration of Term SOFR), or in respect of which the Administrative Agent has received a direction from the Required Lenders to implement and (ii) acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all of the exculpations, protections and indemnifications provided for in this Agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent in implementing any Conforming Changes (or in entering into any modifications to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents implementing the same) that have been consented or agreed to by the Required Lenders, or in respect of which the Administrative Agent has received a direction from the Required Lenders to implement). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR or any other Benchmark.

57

Section 2.11 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letter of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributed thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender any other condition (other than Taxes which are addressed in clause (ii) above) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation if, in the case of requests for reimbursement under clause (ii) above resulting from a market disruption, (A) the relevant circumstances are not generally affecting the banking market or (B) the applicable request has not been made by Lenders holding a majority of the Loans.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), 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 Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.11 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 ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Promptly after any Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11, such Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11 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 2.11 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days 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; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 2.19 shall apply with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event.

58

Section 2.12 Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 2.19, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that, in relation to such Loan, the Term SOFR Reference Rate to be applied to such Interest Period cannot be adequately and reasonably determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or

(b) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any such Loan or any request therefor that the Term SOFR Reference Rate to be applied to such Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent,

the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make such affected Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice and the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of any affected Loans and, in respect of any outstanding affected Loans, the Base Rate shall apply if such rate is available, and otherwise, for each Lender participating in such affected Loans, the rate determined in accordance with Section 2.13 shall apply. Subject to Section 2.19, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Loans that bear interest at the Base Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

Section 2.13 Cost of Funds. If this Section 2.13 applies to a Loan for an Interest Period, Section 2.10(a) shall not apply to that Loan for that period and the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of that Loan for that period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of (a) the Applicable Margin plus (b) the rate notified to the Administrative Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event by the close of business on the date falling one (1) Business Day after the Periodic Term SOFR Determination Day for an Interest Period or, if earlier, on the date falling one (1) Business Day before the date on which interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, such rate specified in this clause (b) to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum its cost of funds relating to its participation in that Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Lenders and the Borrower of the determination of a rate of interest relating to any Loan to which this Section 2.13 applies.

Section 2.14 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (ii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.06(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (iii) the assignment of any Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, in either case, as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17, or (iv) the payment of any Unpaid Sum on a day prior to the last day of an Interest Period for that Unpaid Sum, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds or from any fees payable. In the case of a Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be its Break Costs. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts of Break Costs that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.14 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 ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

59

Section 2.15 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith judgment of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Taxes from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the Loan Parties shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. For the purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay on a timely basis 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 such Other Taxes.

(c) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf, on behalf of another Agent or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in any such case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

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

60

(f) Status of Lenders

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax, with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to such Loan Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, at the time or times reasonably requested by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent or prescribed by applicable Law, such properly completed and executed documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to permit such payments to be made without such withholding tax or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.15(g)(ii), (g)(iii)(A), and (g)(iii)(B) below) 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.

(ii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.15(g)(ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) (i) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower) on or prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and from time to time thereafter (A) promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered to the Administrative Agent and (B) upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, a properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8IMY (or any other form prescribed by applicable Law reasonably requested by the Borrower), which, in the event the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, certifies that payments by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as intermediary of such payments and not as the beneficial owner of such payments) are exempt from withholding under the Code.

(ii) If the Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch described in Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A) of the Treasury Regulations and delivers to the Borrower a properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY pursuant to Section 2.15(g)(i) certifying that the Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch and intends to be treated as a U.S. person for purposes of withholding under Chapter 3 of the Code, then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat the Administrative Agent as a U.S. person for purposes of withholding under Chapter 3 of the Code, pursuant to Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations.

61

(iii) In the event the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to the extent such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), two copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, duly completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party and establishing an exemption from, or a reduction of, US federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such income tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, duly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption or reduction from US federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such income tax treaty, (ii) duly completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate reasonably acceptable to the Borrower in form and substance to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) and (iv) if the Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, duly completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, together with forms and certificates reasonably acceptable to the Borrower in form and substance described in clauses (A)(i) through (iii) above or clause (B) immediately below (and additional Form W-8IMYs) as may be required, establishing an exemption or reduction from US federal withholding Tax for payments under the Loan Documents; and

(B) each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party and upon the expiration of any form previously delivered by such Lender, certifying that payments to such Lender are exempt from withholding under the Code.

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

62

(D) In addition, each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such forms and certificates, if legally entitled to deliver such forms and certificates, promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form or certificate previously delivered by such Lender pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) above, and this clause (D). Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer legally entitled to provide any previously delivered form or certificate to the Borrower or Administrative Agent (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States of America or other taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause, a Foreign Lender (for the avoidance of doubt, acting solely in its capacity as a Lender) shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this clause that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(h) If any party determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified or with respect to which such indemnifying party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over an amount equal to such refund to such indemnifying party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) of such indemnified party, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems, in good faith and in its sole discretion, to be confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other person.

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

Section 2.16 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Unless otherwise specified herein, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.11, 2.14, or 2.15, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after the applicable time referred to in the prior sentence on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.09(g), 2.11, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment or performance hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment or performance shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the

63

period of such extension provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments under the Loan Documents shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, such funds or proceeds of Collateral (including any distributions of cash, securities or other property in a bankruptcy case of the Borrower) shall be applied, subject to the Security Documents and any other applicable intercreditor agreement: first, ratably, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower; second, ratably, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower; third, ratably, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Loans; fourth, ratably, to pay the outstanding principal of Loans then due from the Borrower hereunder and any amounts due and owing in respect of applicable Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements; and fifth, ratably, to pay all other applicable Obligations due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, no amount received from any Guarantor Party, or from the proceeds of Collateral (if any) pledged by a Loan Party which is party to the Guarantee Agreement, shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Guarantor Party.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase participations in the Loans of other applicable Lenders entitled thereto to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the applicable Lenders entitled thereto ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective applicable Loans; provided, that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any Eligible Assignee or Participant. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, but in no event shall it be obligated to, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

64

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(b) or 2.16(b), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.17 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.15, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Subject to the Prepayment Premium, if any Lender (x) requests compensation under Section 2.11, or if the Borrower is required to pay Indemnified Taxes or any additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 and in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section, (y) is a Defaulting Lender or (z) except during the continuance of an Event of Default, is an Ineligible Institution, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments under Section 2.11 or Section 2.12) and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including, to the extent applicable, any Prepayment Premium) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.17 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender. No action by or consent of the removed Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such removed Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided, that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the replacement Lender, and the removed Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

65

(c) 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 and Commitments, as applicable, of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and Commitments, as applicable, to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their applicable Total Credit Exposure, 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.

(d) Subject to the Prepayment Premium, if any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination, which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then, provided that no Event of Default exists, the applicable Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) at its sole expense to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by deeming such Non-Consenting Lender to have assigned its Loans and Commitments hereunder to one or more Eligible Assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that: (a) all Loan Document Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender (including accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, including the Prepayment Premium, as applicable) being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided, that if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within three (3) Business Days after the Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 9.04 shall not be required to effect such assignment.

Section 2.18 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Initial Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make or maintain any Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Loans shall be suspended and (ii) the interest rate on which Loans that bear interest at the Base Rate shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender prepay such Loans or, if applicable, convert all Loans that bear interest at Term SOFR to Loans that bear interest at the Base Rate (the interest rate on such Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), either on the next applicable Interest Payment Date therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid.

66

Section 2.19 Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Benchmark Replacement.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5^th) 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 (in respect of any Benchmark Transition Event in relation to a Benchmark applicable to Loans). No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.19(a)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii) No Swap Agreement shall constitute a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.19.

(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.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.19(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.19, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.19.

(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 the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, 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 or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative 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.

67

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make the affected Loans shall be suspended for the duration of the Benchmark Unavailability Period and the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of any affected Loans to be made during any Benchmark Unavailability Period, and (ii) any outstanding affected Loans shall, from the end of the then-applicable Interest Period and for the duration of the Benchmark Unavailability Period, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate (if such rate is available) or otherwise, for each Lender participating in such Loans, the rate determined in accordance with Section 2.13.

Section 2.20 Additional Commitments.

(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Additional Commitments in an amount not to exceed the Additional Amount at the time of such request from one or more Additional Lenders (which may include any existing Lender, it being understood and agreed that no existing Lender shall be required to participate in any such Additional Commitment or related Additional Loan) willing to provide such Additional Commitments in their own discretion; provided, that each Additional Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such Additional Lender is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Additional Commitments being requested and (ii) the date on which such Additional Commitments are requested to become effective.

(b) The Borrower and each Additional Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Additional Loan Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Additional Commitment of such Additional Lender. Each Additional Loan Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Additional Commitments; provided, that:

(i) Standard Chartered Bank will act as sole coordinating bank for any such Additional Loans, and will perform the duties customarily associated with such roles and

(ii) except as expressly provided herein, any Additional Loans shall be on terms identical to those applicable to the Loans incurred on the Initial Closing Date.

Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Additional Loan Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Additional Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.08(f). Any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that is necessary to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20 and any such collateral and other documentation shall be deemed “Loan Documents” hereunder and may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and furnished to the other parties hereto.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Additional Commitment with respect to the Additional Loans to be incurred on the Additional Closing Date shall become effective under this Section 2.20 unless on the date of such effectiveness (x) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist immediately after giving effect to the Additional Loans related thereto and (y) each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied or waived by such Additional Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.

68

(d) Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Additional Loans in respect of Additional Commitments, when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Loans on a pro rata basis.

(e) Subject to the Prepayment Premium, as applicable, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.16(c) (which provisions shall not be applicable to clauses (e) through (i) of this Section 2.20), pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders, on a pro rata basis and on the same terms (“Pro Rata Extension Offers”), the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate transactions with individual Lenders from time to time to extend the maturity date of such Lender’s Loan and to otherwise modify the terms of such Lender’s Loan pursuant to the terms of the relevant Pro Rata Extension Offer (including without limitation increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lender’s Loan). For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to “on the same terms” in the preceding sentence shall mean, in the case of an offer to the Lenders, that all of the Loans are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable with respect to such extension of such Loans are the same. Any such extension (an “Extension”) agreed to between the Borrower and any such Lender (an “Extending Lender”) will be established under this Agreement by implementing an Additional Loan for such Lender (such extended Loan, an “Extended Loan”) (it being understood agreed that no existing Lenders shall be required to be an Extending Lender or to participate in any such Pro Rata Extension Offer or related Extension).

(f) The Borrower and each Extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Additional Loan Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extended Loans of such Extending Lender. Each Additional Loan Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Extended Loans; provided, that (i) except as to pricing, fees and final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), any Extended Loan shall have (A) the same terms as the existing Loans or (B) have such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) any Extended Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments or commitment reductions hereunder. Upon the effectiveness of any Additional Loan Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Loans evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.08(f). Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and furnished to the other parties hereto.

(g) Upon the effectiveness of any such Extension, the applicable Extending Lender’s Loan will be automatically designated an Extended Loan. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Extending Lender will be deemed to have an Additional Loan having the terms of such Extended Loan.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including without limitation this Section 2.20), (i) no Extended Loan is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (ii) any Extending Lender may extend all or any portion of its Loan pursuant to one or more Pro Rata Extension Offers (subject to applicable proration in the case of over participation) (including the extension of any Extended Loan), (iii) there shall be no condition to any Extension of any Loan at any time or from time to time (other than (x) notice to the Administrative Agent of such Extension and the terms of the Extended Loan implemented thereby and (y) (I) at the time of and immediately after such Extension, no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, and (II) the satisfaction of the condition set forth in clause (e) of Section 4.02 and, in each case of clauses (y)(I) and (y)(II) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a

69

certificate to that effect dated as of the effective date of the Extension and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower), (iv) no consent of any Lender or Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Loans and/or Loans (or a portion thereof) and (v) all Extended Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations of the relevant Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations of the relevant Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(i) Each Extension shall be consummated pursuant to procedures set forth in the corresponding Pro Rata Extension Offer; provided, that the Borrower shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent prior to making any Pro Rata Extension Offer to establish reasonable procedures with respect to mechanical provisions relating to such Extension, including, without limitation, timing, rounding and other adjustments.

(j) Subject to the Prepayment Premium, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.16(c) (which provisions shall not be applicable to clauses (j) through (l) of this Section 2.20), the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent and with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders establish one or more additional tranches of term loans denominated in Dollars under this Agreement (such loans, “Refinancing Term Loans”), the net cash proceeds of which are used to Refinance in whole or in part any Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Refinancing Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Term Loans shall be made, which shall be a date not earlier than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided, that:

(i) before and after giving effect to the borrowing of such Refinancing Term Loans on the Refinancing Effective Date each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied to the extent required by the relevant Additional Loan Assumption Agreement governing such Refinancing Term Loans;

(ii) the final maturity date of the Refinancing Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date of the refinanced Loans,

(iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinancing Term Loans shall be no shorter than the then-remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the refinanced Loans;

(iv) the aggregate principal amount of the Refinancing Term Loans shall not exceed the outstanding principal amount of the refinanced Loans plus amounts used to pay fees, premiums, costs and expenses (including original issue discount) and accrued interest associated therewith;

(v) all other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans (other than provisions relating to original issue discount, upfront fees, interest rates and any other pricing terms, which shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans), taken as a whole shall, be substantially similar to, or not materially less favorable to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries than, the terms, taken as a whole, applicable to the Loans (except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the latest Maturity Date or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), as determined by the Borrower in good faith;

70

(vi) with respect to Refinancing Term Loans secured by Liens on the Collateral that rank pari passu or junior in right of security to the Liens thereon securing the Loans, such Liens will be subject to an intercreditor agreement with the collateral agent or other representatives of the holders of Indebtedness that is permitted to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is permitted under this Agreement, as applicable; and

(vii) there shall be no obligor in respect of such Refinancing Term Loans that is not a Loan Party.

(k) The Borrower may approach any Lender or any other person that would be a permitted Eligible Assignee pursuant to Section 9.04 to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans; provided, that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Refinancing Term Loan. Any Refinancing Term Loans made on any Refinancing Effective Date shall be designated Additional Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, further, that any Refinancing Term Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable Additional Loan Assumption Agreement governing such Refinancing Term Loans, be designated as an increase in any previously established Loans made to the Borrower.

(l) For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if a Lender is providing a Refinancing Term Loan, such Lender will be deemed to have an Additional Loan having the terms of such Refinancing Term Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, this Section 2.20), (i) no Refinancing Term Loan is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (ii) there shall be no condition to any incurrence of any Refinancing Term Loan at any time or from time to time other than those set forth in clause (j) above, and (iii) all Refinancing Term Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

ARTICLE VIII

THE AGENTS

Section 8.01 Appointment. (a) Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including as collateral agent (or security trustee or equivalent capacity)) for such Lender and the other Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Security Documents and the intercreditor agreements, and each such 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

123

the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, each of the Lenders hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s behalf, in any form, notarial or otherwise.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any 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. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements) hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent (and any Subagents appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights or remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of this ARTICLE VIII (including, without limitation, Section 8.07) and Section 9.05 as though the Administrative Agent (and any such Subagents) were an “Agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require Administrative Agent to file or record any financing statements, continuation statements, recordations of Liens or other documents relating to, or be responsible for perfecting or maintaining the security interests purported to be created in, any Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties (except for the safe custody by Administrative Agent of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder) and such responsibility shall be solely that of the Borrower.

Section 8.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof)) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact (to which it shall be entitled to grant power of attorney for these purposes) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts 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. The Administrative Agent may also from time to time, when the Administrative Agent deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Subagent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any

124

Subagent so appointed by the Administrative Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Subagent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Applicable Agent. If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Applicable Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, attorney-in-fact or Subagent that it selects in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02 in the absence of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction).

Section 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates nor any of their respective Related Parties shall be (a) 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 (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Sponsor Guarantor or 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 the Sponsor Guarantor or any Loan Party a party thereto 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. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (x) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (y) the Administrative Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as the Applicable Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or the filing or recording of any Lien granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Security Document, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in ARTICLE IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by this Agreement that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise and only so long as so directed in writing to take such discretionary action by the “Required Lenders” provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay or that may affect a

125

forfeiture, modification or termination of a property interest in violation of any applicable bankruptcy/insolvency laws (including the UK Insolvency Act 1986 with respect to the English Loan Parties) and the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it first receives further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that the Administrative Agent reasonably believes it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expenses and liabilities it may incur in taking or continuing to take any such discretionary action at the direction of the Required Lenders. Use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent does not connote (and is not intended to connote), any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligation arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between the contracting parties. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of its duties under the Loan Documents or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 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 Ineligible Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is an Ineligible Institution or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Ineligible Institution.

Section 8.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of any Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Promissory Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action (or refraining to act) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall (i) first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders) as it deems appropriate and (ii) 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 or other Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

126

Section 8.05 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 unless the Administrative Agent has received written 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 receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt 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 or other Lenders); provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Section 8.06 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 have no 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 officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

Section 8.07 Indemnification. Each Lender agrees 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) on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Total Credit Exposure) (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), 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 (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, the Loans, 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 non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. The agreements in this Section 8.07 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

127

Section 8.08 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.

Section 8.09 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation as Administrative Agent to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation shall be effective upon thirty (30) days’ written notice (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) whether or not a successor agent has been appointed (the “Resignation Effective Time”). If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower (to the extent no Event of Default is continuing), shall appoint from among the Lenders (or any Affiliate of the Lenders or any third party entity acceptable to the Required Lenders) a successor agent for the Lenders, 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. With effect from the Resignation Effective Time, (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent as collateral agent (or equivalent capacity) on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent). Regardless of whether a successor is appointed, as of the Resignation Effective Time, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations under the Agreement and other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent as collateral agent (or equivalent capacity) on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed). After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII 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. Any Person into which the Administrative Agent is merged or converted or with which it is consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidations which the Administrative Agent is a party, or any Person to which substantially all of the corporate trust or agency business of the Administrative Agent is transferred, shall continue to serve as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement without further action.

Section 8.10 Lead Arrangers. None of the Lead Arrangers or the Coordinating Bank shall have any relationship of trust or agency with the Sponsor Guarantor or any Loan Party or any duties, responsibilities or obligations hereunder in its respective capacity as such.

Section 8.11 [Reserved].

128

Section 8.12 Security Documents and Administrative Agent Under Security Documents and Guarantees. The Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Collateral or Guarantor Parties in accordance with Section 9.18. The Lenders irrevocably agree that (a) the Administrative Agent may, without any further consent of any Lender, enter into or amend the Initial Closing Date Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement with the collateral agent or other representatives of the holders of Indebtedness that is permitted to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is permitted under this Agreement, (b) the Administrative Agent may rely exclusively on a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower as to whether any such other Liens are permitted and (c) the Initial Closing Date Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement referred to in the foregoing clause (a), entered into by the Administrative Agent, shall be binding on the Secured Parties. Furthermore, the Lenders (including in their capacities as potential Cash Management Banks and potential Hedge Banks) hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02 to be senior to the Liens of the Administrative Agent on such property or (ii) that is or becomes Excluded Property; and the Administrative Agent shall do so upon request of the Borrower; provided, that prior to any such request, the Borrower shall have in each case delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that such Lien is permitted under this Agreement or that such property is Excluded Property, as applicable.

Section 8.13 [Reserved].

Section 8.14 Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantees. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Sponsor Guarantor or any Loan Party (and with respect to English Loan Parties, in accordance with the UK Insolvency Act 1986), (i) the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (A) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of any or all of the Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and any Subagents allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (B) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and (ii) any custodian, receiver, Eligible Assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (a) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantees, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, and (b) in the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a

129

public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale or other disposition.

Section 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 Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the 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 Commitments and this Agreement,

(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 Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied, with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the 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 sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such 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 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).

130

Section 8.16 Erroneous Payment. (a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its reasonable discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) (provided, that, without limiting any other rights or remedies (whether at law or in equity), the Administrative Agent may not make any such demand under this clause (a) with respect to an Erroneous Payment unless such demand is made within five (5) Business Days of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by the applicable Payment Recipient), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 8.16 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing) return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), and together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it (or a Payment Recipient on its behalf) receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent ( or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Payment Recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

131

(ii) such Payment Recipient shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.16(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.16(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 8.16(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under preceding clause (a).

(d) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interest of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Sponsor Guarantor, the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 8.16 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from, or on behalf of (including through the exercise of remedies under any Loan Document), the Borrower for the purpose of a payment on the Obligations.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the occurrence of an Erroneous Payment (or the existence of any Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights or other rights of the Administrative Agent in respect of an Erroneous Payment) result in the Administrative Agent becoming, or being deemed to be, a Lender hereunder or the holder of any Loans hereunder.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the applicable Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

132

(f) The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or obligations to any other person except for those which are expressly specified in the Loan Documents or mandatorily required by applicable law.

(g) The Administrative Agent may appoint one or more Delegates on such terms (which may include the power to sub-delegate) and subject to such conditions as it thinks fit, to exercise and perform all or any of the duties, rights, powers and discretions vested in it by the English Security Agreements and shall not be obliged to supervise any Delegate or be responsible to any person for any loss incurred by reason of any act, omission, misconduct or default on the part of any Delegate.

(h) The Administrative Agent may (whether for the purpose of complying with any Law of any overseas jurisdiction, or for any other reason) appoint (and subsequently remove) any person to act jointly with the Administrative Agent either as a separate trustee or as a co-trustee on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Administrative Agent thinks fit and with such of the duties, rights, powers and discretions vested in the Administrative Agent by the English Security Agreements as may be conferred by the instrument of appointment of that person.

(m) The Administrative Agent may accept without inquiry the title (if any) which any person may have to the Charged Property.

(n) Each other Secured Party confirms that it does not wish to be registered as a joint proprietor of any security interest constituted by an English Security Agreement and accordingly authorizes: (a) the Administrative Agent to hold such security interest in its sole name (or in the name of any Delegate) as trustee for the Secured Parties; and (b) the Land Registry (or other relevant registry) to register the Administrative Agent (or any Delegate or Appointee) as a sole proprietor of such security interest.

This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Sponsor Guarantor, Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Sponsor Guarantor, Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (1) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void), and (2) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04 or ARTICLE X. 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 (c) of this Section 9.04), 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 or the other Loan Documents.

(i) [reserved];

(ii) the parties to each assignment shall (x) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (y) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance; and

(iii) the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.15 and (y) any information and documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent for purposes of compliance with applicable “know your customer” provisions of Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including the USA PATRIOT Act.

(iv) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to subclause (vi) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of

137

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 Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.05 (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections)). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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 clause (c) of this Section 9.04;

(v) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the 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 in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. 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; and,

(vi) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee, the Eligible Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Eligible Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any applicable tax forms and any know your customer information requested by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a Promissory Note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (vi).

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other party, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities other than (I) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing persons described in this clause (I), (II) any Ineligible Institution (provided that a Lender may sell participations to an Ineligible Institution with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Borrower and such consent to be deemed given if the Borrower does not object to such sale within seven (7) Business Days after receipt from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower of a written request thereof (provided that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no such Borrower consent shall be required under this clause (II)), the Borrower and its Affiliates or (III) the Sponsors and their respective Affiliates (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or Loans); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and any other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents; provided, that (x) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (i) requires the consent of each Lender

138

directly affected thereby pursuant to subclauses (i), through (vii) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) and (ii) directly affects such Participant (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any waiver of any Default or Event of Default) and (y) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist between such Lender and such Participant. 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 2.17(b) with respect to any Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections 2.15(g) and (h) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 2.15(g) and (h) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.13 and 2.15 as if it were an Eligible Assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections Section 2.13 or 2.15, 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. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided, that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.16(c) 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 to any person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or proposed Section 1.163-5 of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof 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.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, any Loan Party or any other Person, 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 or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Eligible Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Promissory Notes to any Lender requiring Promissory Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in clause (d) above.

(f) If the Borrower wishes to replace the Loans or Commitments in accordance Section 2.20(j) with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) and subject to at least three (3) Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders, instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders, to assign such Loans or Commitments to the designees of the Administrative Agent and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 9.08 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 9.04(b)).

139

Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans and Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrower), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any other amounts owing pursuant to this Agreement. By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders, shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Commitments, pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto as Exhibit A, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this clause (f) are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

Section 9.05 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent, any of the Lead Arrangers, the Coordinating Bank or any of their respective affiliates in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent or any Lead Arrangers in connection with the syndication of the Commitments (including with respect to the Loans incurred on the Additional Closing Date), administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence, initial and ongoing appraisals and Collateral examinations to the extent incurred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, mortgage recordings, title registrations, UCC filings and other filings in connection with the creation and perfection of the Liens of the Administrative Agent (and the priority thereof) as contemplated hereby or other Loan Documents and the reasonable fees, disbursements and charges of no more than one counsel in each jurisdiction where Collateral is located) or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not such amendment, waiver or modification is approved by the applicable Lenders), including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of a single primary counsel for all such persons (other than the Administrative Agent) taken as a whole, and a single primary counsel for the Administrative Agent (which, in connection with the Initial Closing Date and the Additional Closing Date shall be Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP), and the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of one local counsel per applicable jurisdiction and one healthcare regulatory counsel, provided that, the attorney’s fees are subject to the applicable fee caps as agreed among the Sponsors and the Administrative Agent and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of a single primary counsel for all such persons, taken as a whole, and the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of one local counsel per applicable jurisdiction (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where such person affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict, of another primary firm for such affected person and all similarly affected persons and another firm of local counsel per applicable jurisdiction for such affected person and all similarly affected persons).

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers, each Lender, each of their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns and each of their respective Related Parties (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable documented counsel fees, charges and disbursements (excluding the allocated costs of in house counsel and limited to (A) one counsel for the Administrative Agent and its related Indemnitees and (B) not more than one counsel for all other Indemnitees taken as a whole, and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for the Administrative Agent and its related Indemnitees and a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all other Indemnitees taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where such Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel with the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably

140

withheld), of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee and all similarly affected Indemnitees and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for such affected Indemnitee and all similarly affected Indemnitees), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, and regardless of whether any of the foregoing is raised or initiated by a third party or the Borrower (including its equity holders, affiliates, creditors, or any other person) or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary or the Sponsor Guarantor; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that (A) such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (B) such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against such Indemnitee for material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder and the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has obtained a final, non-appealable judgement in its favor on such claim from a court of competent jurisdiction or (C) such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses result from a proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee solely in its capacity as such against another Indemnitee or in fulfillment of its role as the Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger or similar role in respect of any Commitment or Loans) (for purposes of this proviso only, (x) “Indemnitee” shall not include any agents or advisors and (y) each of the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger or any Lender shall be treated as several and separate Indemnitees, but each of them together with its respective Related Parties, shall be treated as a single Indemnitee). Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel or consultant fees, charges and disbursements (limited to (A) one counsel for the Administrative Agent and its related Indemnitees and (B) not more than one counsel for all other Indemnitees taken as a whole, and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for the Administrative Agent and its related Indemnitees and a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all other Indemnitees taken as a whole) (except the allocated costs of in-house counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (a) any claim, liability or obligation related in any way to, or arising under, Environmental Laws and related in any way to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective subsidiaries, or (b) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from any property currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective subsidiaries; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that (A) such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties. None of the Indemnitees (or any of their respective affiliates) shall be responsible or liable to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective subsidiaries, Affiliates or stockholders or any other person or entity for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which may be alleged as a result of the facilities hereunder or the Transactions. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

141

(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 9.05(a) with respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be duplicative with any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.15, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages from any non-Tax claim.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither Holdings, nor the Sponsor Guarantor, nor the Borrower shall assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) The agreements in this Section 9.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.06 Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding Excluded Accounts) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary against any of and all the Obligations of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or such Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the Obligations may be unmatured; provided, that no amounts set off with respect to any Loan Party party to the Guarantee Agreement shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Person. The rights of each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 9.07 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO SUCH LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 9.08 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Sponsor Guarantor, Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Sponsor Guarantor, Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

142

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) as provided in Section 2.11 or Section 8.12, (y) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Sponsor Guarantor, Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and (z) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Loan Party thereto and the Administrative Agent and consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall:

(i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of, or decrease the rate of interest on (except in connection with the waiver of applicable of any post default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders)), any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); provided, that (A) waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a decrease or forgiveness of the principal amount of any Loan and (B) only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (x) to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive the obligation of the Borrower to pay interest or fees at the Default Rate or (y) to amend any financial covenant (or any defined term directly or indirectly used therein), even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or other Obligation or to reduce any fee payable hereunder;

(ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease any fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); provided, that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender;

(iii) extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification);

(iv) (x) amend the provisions of Section 2.16(b) of this Agreement, Section 4.01 of the U.S. Security Agreement or any comparable provision of any other Loan Document in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; or (y) amend the provisions of Section 7.04 of this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Lenders;

(v) amend or modify the provisions of Section 3.25, Section 5.14, Section 5.15 or Section 6.12 or the definitions of “Sanction List”, “Sanctions”, “Sanctions Authorities”, “Sanctioned Person” or “Sanctioned Country”, without the prior written consent of all Lenders;

143

(vi) amend or modify the provisions of this Section 9.08 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Initial Closing Date);

(vii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release any of the Guarantor Parties from their obligations under the Guarantee Agreement or the Sponsor Guarantee (as applicable) or release all or substantially all of the value of the related guarantees unless, in the case of any release of Collateral relating to a Subsidiary Loan Party, it or its assets are sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by this Agreement as in effect on the Initial Closing Date, without the prior written consent of each Lender;

(viii) amend, waive or modify any term or provision to permit the issuance or incurrence of any Indebtedness (including any exchange of existing Indebtedness that results in another class of Indebtedness) with respect to which (x) the Liens on the assets of the Loan Parties securing the Loan Document Obligations would be subordinated or (y) all or any portion of the Loan Document Obligations would be subordinated in right of payment, in each case, without the written consent of each of the Lenders under Loans directly and adversely affected thereby; or

(ix) amend, modify or waive any term or provision of Section 7.01(q) without the written consent of each Lender;

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any Eligible Assignee of such Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE SPONSOR GUARANTOR, HOLDINGS, THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE SPONSOR GUARANTOR, HOLDINGS, THE BORROWER, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE SPONSOR GUARANTOR, HOLDINGS, THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL PROVINCIAL, TERRITORIAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

Section 9.17 Direct Website Communications.

(a) Delivery.

(i) Subject to applicable data protections laws, in particular the European Union General Data Protection Regulation, each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest

148

period relating thereto), (B) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (C) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or (D) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications collectively, the “Borrower Materials”), by transmitting the Borrower Materials in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Loan Party agrees to continue to provide the Borrower Materials to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Section 9.17 shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers or any Lender or any Loan Party to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(ii) The Administrative Agent agrees that receipt of the Borrower Materials by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth in Section 9.01 shall constitute effective delivery of the Borrower Materials to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Borrower Materials have been posted to the Platform (as defined below) shall constitute effective delivery of the Borrower Materials to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (a) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (b) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(b) Posting. Subject to applicable data protections laws, in particular the European Union General Data Protection Regulation, each Loan Party further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Borrower Materials available to the Lenders by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks, DebtDomain or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). Certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Sponsor Guarantor, Holdings, the Borrower or their respective securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may not be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (i) all the Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PRIVATE” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PRIVATE” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by not marking Borrower Materials “PRIVATE,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders to treat the Borrower Materials as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Sponsor Guarantor, Holdings, the Borrower or their respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Borrower Materials not marked “PRIVATE” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor;” and (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are marked “PRIVATE” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”

(c) Platform. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”. The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Borrower Materials or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Borrower Materials. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Borrower Materials or the Platform. In no event shall

149

the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents advisors or representatives (collectively, “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise), arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent Party’s gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct.

Section 9.18 Release of Liens and Guarantees. (a) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released: (i) in full, as set forth in Section 9.18(d) below; (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of such Collateral by any Loan Party to a person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction not prohibited by this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by the Responsible Officer of the Borrower upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent that such Collateral comprises property leased to a Loan Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 9.08), (v) to the extent that the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Loan Party, upon the release of such Loan Party from its obligations under the Guarantee in accordance with the Guarantee and clause (b) below, (vi) as provided in Section 8.12, (vii) as contemplated by any intercreditor agreement, (viii) to the extent any asset or property constitutes Excluded Property and (ix) as required by the Administrative Agent to effect any sale or disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Documents. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or Obligations (other than those being released) of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale or disposition, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents.

(b) In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Subsidiary Loan Parties shall be released from the Guarantees and the Security Documents upon consummation of any transaction not prohibited hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary Loan Party ceasing to constitute a Subsidiary (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Responsible Officer of the Borrower upon its reasonable request without further inquiry).

(c) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor Party or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.18, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Collateral or such Guarantor Party shall no longer be deemed to be made. In connection with any release hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and such Loan Party’s expense in connection with the release of any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Subsidiary, property or asset.

150

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, upon the Termination Date, upon request and at the expense of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all Obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be any (i) obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreements or any Secured Cash Management Agreements and (ii) any contingent indemnification Obligations or expense reimburse claims not then due. Any such release of Obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(c) Obligations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries under any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement (after giving effect to all netting arrangements relating to such Secured Hedge Agreements) shall be secured and guaranteed pursuant to the Security Documents only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Obligations are so secured and guaranteed. No person shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document solely as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no release of Collateral or Guarantor Parties effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall require the consent of any holder of obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements or any Secured Cash Management Agreements.

Section 9.19 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from any Loan Party in the Agreement Currency, such Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Loan Party (or to any other person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

Section 9.20 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

Section 9.21 Power of Attorney. Each Lender hereby (i) authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent and attorney to execute and deliver, on behalf of and in the name of such Lender, all and any Loan Documents (excluding this Agreement, but including any Security Document and related documentation), (ii) authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint any further agents or attorneys to execute and deliver, or otherwise to act, on behalf of and in the name of the Administrative Agent for any such purpose and (iii) authorizes the Administrative Agent to delegate its powers under this power of attorney and to do any and all acts and to make and receive all declarations that are deemed necessary or appropriate to the Administrative Agent.

151

Section 9.22 Acknowledgments. Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Loan Parties, on the one hand and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand is intended to be or has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether any Lender or the Administrative Agent has advised or is advising any Loan Party on other matters, and the relationship between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith and therewith is solely that of creditor and debtor, (b) the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, have an arm’s length business relationship that does not directly or indirectly give rise to, nor do the Loan Parties rely on, any fiduciary duty to the Loan Parties or their Affiliates on the part of the Lenders, (c) the Loan Parties are capable of evaluating and understanding, and the Loan Parties understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) the Loan Parties have been advised that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are engaged in a broad range of transactions that may involve interests that differ from the Loan Parties’ interests and that the Lenders have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Loan Parties, (e) the Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent the Loan Parties have deemed appropriate in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (f) each Lender and the Administrative Agent has been, is, and will be acting solely as a principal and, except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by it and the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Loan Parties, any of their Affiliates or any other person, (g) neither any Lender nor Administrative Agent has any obligation to the Loan Parties or their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents except those obligations expressly set forth herein or therein or in any other express writing executed and delivered by such Lender and the Loan Parties or any such Affiliate and (h) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Loan Parties and the Lenders.

Section 9.23 Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap 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 or of the United States or any other state of the United States);

(a) in the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights
