For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans in Dollars (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time on or after the Effective Date and during the Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided that, after giving effect to the Revolving Loans requested to be made, the aggregate amount of the Available Commitments shall not be less than zero and the Total Extensions of Credit may not at any time exceed the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Bond. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Revolving Loans may from time to time be Term Benchmark Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Designated Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.9.

(b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Termination Date; provided, that any principal payment under the Senior Bond shall automatically be deemed to be an equal principal payment in respect of the Revolving Loans (but any such principal payment under the Senior Bond shall not reduce the face amount thereof unless such payment is accompanied by an equal permanent reduction in the Total Commitments).

2.2 Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the Commitments during the Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that the Borrower shall give the Designated Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Designated Agent (a) prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, or (b) prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans; provided that any notice of ABR Loans to be incurred on the Effective Date must be received prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, one Business Day prior to the Effective Date) specifying (i) the amount and Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date and (iii) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor. Each borrowing under the Commitments shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Commitments are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount). Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Designated Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Each Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Designated Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time (or, for any borrowing to occur on the Effective Date, prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time), on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Designated Agent.

34

(a) In the event that the Borrower wishes to increase the Total Commitments at any time after the Amendment No. 23 Effective Date, when no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or shall result of such increase) and subject to obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals, it shall notify the Designated Agent in writing, given not more frequently than once per calendar year, of the amount (the “Revolving Credit Offered Increase Amount”) of such proposed increase (such notice, a “Commitment Increase Notice”) which shall be in a minimum amount equal to $10,000,000 and shall not exceed, in the aggregate for all such increases, $500,000,0001,000,000,000; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the transactions contemplated by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 shall not be deemed to constitute a Commitment Increase Notice from the Borrower. The Borrower shall offer each of the Lenders the opportunity to provide such Lender’s Percentage of the Revolving Credit Offered Increase Amount, and if any Lender declines such offer, in whole or in part, the Borrower may offer such declined amount to (i) other Lenders with the consent of the Issuing Lenders (which consents of the Issuing Lenders shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and/or (ii) other banks, financial institutions or other entities with the consent of the Designated Agent and the Issuing Lenders (which consents of the Designated Agent and the Issuing Lenders shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

The Borrower or, if requested by the Borrower, the Designated Agent will notify such Lenders, and/or banks, financial institutions or other entities of such offer.

(b) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which the Borrower selects to offer a portion of the increased Total Commitments and which elects to become a party to this Agreement and obtain a Commitment in an amount so offered and accepted by it pursuant to Section 2.3(a) shall execute a new lender supplement (the “New Lender Supplement”) with the Borrower, the Issuing Lenders and the Designated Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (herein called a “New Revolving Credit Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, provided that the Commitment of any such New Revolving Credit Lender shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000.

(d) If any bank, financial institution or other entity becomes a New Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or any Lender’s Commitment is increased pursuant to Section 2.3(c), additional Revolving Loans made on or after the effectiveness thereof (the “Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date”) shall be made pro rata based on the Percentages in effect on and after such Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date (except to the extent that any such pro rata borrowings would result in any Lender making an aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans in excess of its Commitment, in which case such excess amount will be allocated to, and made by, such New Revolving Credit Lenders and/or Lenders with such increased Commitments to the extent of, and

35

pro rata based on, their respective Commitments otherwise available for Revolving Loans), and continuations of Term Benchmark Loans outstanding on such Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date shall be effected by repayment of such Term Benchmark Loans on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and the making of new Term Benchmark Loans pro rata based on such new Percentages. In the event that on any such Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of ABR Loans, the Borrower shall make prepayments thereof and borrowings of ABR Loans so that, after giving effect thereto, the ABR Loans outstanding are held pro rata based on such new Percentages. In the event that on any such Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of Term Benchmark Loans, such Term Benchmark Loans shall remain outstanding with the respective holders thereof until the expiration of their respective Interest Periods (unless the Borrower elects to prepay any thereof in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement), and interest on and repayments of such Term Benchmark Loans will be paid thereon to the respective Lenders holding such Term Benchmark Loans pro rata based on the respective principal amounts thereof outstanding.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3, (i) no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion and unless the Designated Agent and the Issuing Lenders consent to such increase (which consents of the Designated Agent and the Issuing Lenders shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that any Lender not responding to the Commitment Increase Notice within the time period prescribed therein shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment and (ii) in no event shall any transaction effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 (A) cause the Total Commitments to exceed $4,900,000,0005,400,000,000 or (B) occur at a time at which a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(f) The Designated Agent shall have received on or prior to the Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date, for the benefit of the Lenders, (i) a legal opinion of counsel to the Borrower covering such matters as are customary for transactions of this type as may be reasonably requested by the Designated Agent, which opinions shall be substantially the same, to the extent appropriate, as the opinions rendered by counsel to the Borrower on the Effective Date and (ii) certified copies of resolutions of the board of directors of the Borrower authorizing the Borrower to borrow the Revolving Credit Offered Increase Amount.

(g) In connection with any increase in the Total Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Borrower shall cause to be issued to the Designated Agent a new First Mortgage Bond (i) in the amount of the Total Commitment (giving effect to such increase) (in which case such new First Mortgage Bond shall replace any then-outstanding Senior Bonds) or (ii) in the amount of such increase, such that the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Bonds will, when taken together, equal the Total Commitment (giving effect to such increase).

36

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Designated Agent for the account of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender to the extent provided in Section 2.20) a commitment fee for the period from and including the Effective Date to the last day of the Commitment Period, in an amount equal to the Commitment Fee Rate multiplied by the daily average Available Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Designated Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any written, duly executed fee agreements with the Designated Agent and to perform any other obligations contained therein.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Designated Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in effect. In connection with any such termination or reduction, the Borrower may request that a new First Mortgage Bond be issued to the Designated Agent in the amount of the Total Commitment (giving effect to such termination or reduction) and such new First Mortgage Bond shall replace any then-outstanding Senior Bonds.

(b) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Designated Agent (such notice being an “Extension Notice”), given no more frequently than once in each calendar year, on not more than one occasiontwo occasions after the Amendment No.  23 Effective Date request the Lenders to consider an extension of the then applicable Termination Date to a later date (which shall be a Business Day), which extension shall not exceed one year from the then applicable Termination Date; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the transactions contemplated by Amendment No. 1 shall not be deemed to constitute an Extension Notice from the Borrower. The Designated Agent shall promptly transmit any Extension Notice to each Lender. Each Lender shall notify the Designated Agent whether it wishes to extend the then applicable Termination Date not later than 30 days after the date of such Extension Notice, and any such notice given by a Lender to the Designated Agent, once given, shall be irrevocable as to such Lender. Any Lender which does not expressly notify the Designated Agent prior to the expiration of such thirty-day period that it wishes to so extend the then applicable Termination Date shall be deemed to have rejected the Borrower’s request for extension of such Termination Date. Lenders consenting to extend the then applicable Termination Date are hereinafter referred to as “Continuing Lenders”, and Lenders declining to consent to extend such Termination Date (or Lenders deemed to have so declined) are hereinafter referred to as “Non-Extending Lenders”. If the Required Lenders have elected (in their sole and absolute discretion) to so extend the Termination Date, the Designated Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of such election by the Required Lenders, and effective on the date which is 30 days after the date of such notice by the Designated Agent to the Borrower, the Termination Date shall be automatically and immediately so extended with regard to the Continuing Lenders. No extension will be permitted hereunder without the consent of the Required Lenders. Upon the delivery of an Extension Notice and upon the extension of the

37

Termination Date pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on and as of the date of such Extension Notice and the effective date of such extension, as the case may be, that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to extend the Termination Date, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to extend the Termination Date.

(c) If the Termination Date shall have been extended in accordance with this Section 2.7, all references herein to the “Termination Date” (except with respect to any Non-Extending Lender) shall refer to the Termination Date as so extended.

(d) If any Lender shall determine (or be deemed to have determined) not to extend the Termination Date as requested by any Extension Notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, the Commitment of such Non-Extending Lender (including the obligations of such Lender under Section 3.4 and, if such Non-Extending Lender is also an Issuing Lender, the obligation of such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3) shall terminate on the Termination Date without giving any effect to such proposed extension, and the Borrower shall on such date pay to the Designated Agent, for the account of such Non-Extending Lender, the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, such Non-Extending Lender’s Loans and outstanding Reimbursement Obligations, together with any amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 and any and all fees or other amounts owing to such Non-Extending Lender under this Agreement (including, if such Non-Extending Lender is an Issuing Lender, such accrued fronting fees as may have been agreed between the Borrower and such Issuing Lender); provided that if the Borrower has replaced such Non-Extending Lender pursuant to Section 2.7(e) then the provisions of such paragraph shall apply. The Total Commitments (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, except as hereinafter provided, the L/C Commitment) shall be reduced by the amount of the Commitment of such Non-Extending Lender to the extent the Commitment of such Non-Extending Lender has not been transferred to one or more Continuing Lenders pursuant to Section 2.7(e), provided that, if the Total Commitments, after giving effect to the reduction in the Total Commitments due to Non-Extending Lenders which are not replaced pursuant to Section 2.7(e), is less than the L/C Commitment, the L/C Commitment shall be reduced by an amount equal to such excess.

(e) A Non-Extending Lender shall be obligated, at the request of the Borrower and subject to (i) payment by the successor Lender described below to the Designated Agent for the account of such Non-Extending Lender of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, such Non-Extending Lender’s Loans, and (ii) payment by the Borrower to such Non-Extending Lender of any amounts payable to such Non-Extending Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 (as if the purchase of such Non-Extending Lender’s Loans constituted a prepayment thereof) and any and all fees or other amounts owing to such Non-Extending Lender under this Agreement (including, if such Non-Extending Lender is an Issuing Lender, such accrued fronting fees as may have been agreed between the Borrower and such Issuing Lender), to transfer without recourse, representation, warranty (other than a representation that such Lender has not created an adverse claim on its Loans) or expense to such Non-Extending Lender, at any time prior to the Termination Date applicable to such Non-Extending Lender, all of such Non-Extending Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder to another financial institution or group of financial institutions nominated by the Borrower and willing to participate as a successor Lender in the place of such Non-

38

Extending Lender; provided that, if such transferee is not already a Lender, such transferee satisfies all the requirements of this Agreement, and the Designated Agent and each Issuing Lender that is a Continuing Lender shall have consented to such transfer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each such transferee successor Lender shall be deemed to be a Continuing Lender hereunder in replacement of the transferor Non-Extending Lender and shall enjoy all rights and assume all obligations on the part of such Non-Extending Lender set forth in this Agreement. Each such transfer shall be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption.

(f) If the Termination Date shall have been extended in respect of Continuing Lenders in accordance with this Section, any notice of borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2 specifying a Borrowing Date occurring after the Termination Date applicable to a Non-Extending Lender or requesting an Interest Period extending beyond such date shall (i) have no effect in respect of such Non-Extending Lender and (ii) not specify a requested aggregate principal amount exceeding the aggregate Available Commitments (calculated on the basis of the Commitments of the Continuing Lenders).

Upon receipt of any such notice the Designated Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) Any Term Benchmark Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Designated Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the defined term “Interest Period”, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Term Benchmark Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders have determined in their sole discretion not to permit such continuations; provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph, subject to the preceding proviso, such Loans shall be automatically continued as Term Benchmark Loans with an Interest Period of one month on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Designated Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.10 Limitations on Term Benchmark Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Term Benchmark Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Benchmark Loans comprising each Term Benchmark Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than 15 Term Benchmark Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

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

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(c)(i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a default rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee, letter of credit fee, or any other fee payable (excluding any expenses or other indemnity) hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a default rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

40

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be payable from time to time on demand.

(e) The amount of each interest payment received by the Designated Agent under the Senior Bond shall be deemed to be a payment of interest payable by the Borrower hereunder and shall reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the amount of interest then owing by the Borrower hereunder.

2.12 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of ABR, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Designated Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of the ABR and the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR (or, for purposes of any determination of the ABR pursuant to clause (c) thereof, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate) shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Designated Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Designated Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall constitute prima facie evidence of such amounts. The Designated Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a statement showing the quotations used by the Designated Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.11(a).

2.13 Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

(a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 2.13, if:

(i) the Designated Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Loan, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Term SOFR Rate (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate, Daily Simple SOFR; or

(ii) the Designated Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Loan, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan);

41

then the Designated Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Designated Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any notice from the Borrower to the Designated Agent that requests the conversion of any Loans to, or continuation of any Loans as, a Term Benchmark Loan shall instead be deemed to request the conversion of any Loans to, or continuation of any Loans as, (x) an RFR Loan so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate is not also the subject of Section 2.13(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate also is the subject of Section 2.13(a)(i) or (ii) above and (B) if any borrowing notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 requests a borrowing of Term Benchmark Loans, such borrowing (unless the applicable notice of borrowing shall have been withdrawn by the Borrower) shall be made as (x) an RFR Loan so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate is not also the subject of Section 2.13(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate also is the subject of Section 2.13(a)(i) or (ii) above; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of borrowings, then the other Type of borrowings shall be permitted.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.13), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Designated Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each affected Class.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Designated Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(d) The Designated Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i)any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv)the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v)the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Designated Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.13, including any determination with respect to a

42

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 2.13.

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

(f) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Loan or conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Loan into a request for a Loan of or conversion to (A) an RFR Loan so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.13, any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Designated Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Loan so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day.

2.14 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments; Notes.

(a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Percentages of the Lenders.

43

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Lenders. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letters of Credit.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Designated Agent, for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, as applicable, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Designated Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Term Benchmark Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Term Benchmark Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(d) Unless the Designated Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Designated Agent, the Designated Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Designated Agent, and the Designated Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Designated Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Designated Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the NYFRB Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Designated Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Designated Agent. A certificate of the Designated Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Designated Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Designated Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans from the Borrower within 30 days after written demand therefor.

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

44

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

(g) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 3.4 or 2.14(d), then the Designated Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Designated Agent hereunder for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Designated Agent or any Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to the Designated Agent or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Designated Agent in its discretion.

2.15 Change of Law.

(a) If a Change of Law shall:

(i) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, Letters of Credit or Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance charge or other similar insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any Lender or any Issuing Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, which requirements are generally applicable to advances, loans and other extensions of credit made by such Lender or such Issuing Lender; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender any other condition that is generally applicable to loans made by such Lender or Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender or participations therein by a Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient, by an amount that such Lender or such other Recipient deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or such other Recipient, within ten Business Days after its demand, any

45

additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such other Recipient for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender or other Recipient becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Designated Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled; provided, however, that no Lender or other Recipient shall be entitled to demand such compensation more than 90 days following (x) the last day of the Interest Period in respect of which such demand is made or (y) the repayment of the Loan in respect of which such demand is made, and no Issuing Lender shall be entitled to demand such compensation more than 90 days following the expiration or termination (by drawing or otherwise) of the Letter of Credit issued by it in respect of which such demand is made. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers (to the extent that such Lender has the right to do so under its credit facilities with similarly situated borrowers).

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Lender shall have determined that a Change of Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or the capital of any corporation controlling such Lender or such Issuing Lender as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such Change of Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s, such Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender or such Issuing Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Designated Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 submitted by any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Recipient to the Borrower (with a copy to the Designated Agent) shall constitute prima facie evidence of such costs or amounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Recipient pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s, such Issuing Lender’s or such other Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect not to exceed twelve months. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall survive for 90 days after the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts then due and payable hereunder.

46

2.16 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable laws. If any applicable laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower or Designated Agent making the payment) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then (A) the Borrower or Designated Agent, as applicable shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Borrower or the Designated Agent to be required, (B) the Borrower or Designated Agent, as applicable shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Designated Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)(i) The Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or another Recipient (with a copy to the Designated Agent), or by the Designated Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or another Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

47

(d) Upon request by the Borrower or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or by the Designated Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.16, the Borrower shall deliver to the Designated Agent or the Designated Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Designated Agent, as the case may be.

(e)(i) Any Lender or any Issuing Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Designated Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Designated Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Designated Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender or any Issuing Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Designated Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Designated Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Designated Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or such Issuing 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 2.16(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s or any Issuing Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or such Issuing Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or such Issuing Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Designated Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender or an Issuing Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Designated Agent), 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, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(II) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

48

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

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender or any Issuing Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or such Issuing 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 or such Issuing Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Designated Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Designated 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 Designated Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Designated Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or such Issuing Lender has complied with such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

(iii) Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.16 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Designated Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

49

(f) At no time shall the Designated Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Lender any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of, or credit with respect to, any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit). The Borrower, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund or credit to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) 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 or credit 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 (f) shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(g) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive for one year after the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.17 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss (other than the loss of Applicable Margin) or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Term Benchmark Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Term Benchmark Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive for 90 days after the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

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

50

2.19 Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests (on its behalf or any of its Participants) reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16, (b) provides notice under Section 2.21 or (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.18 which eliminates the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16, (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.17 if any Term Benchmark Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Designated Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16, as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Designated Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

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

(a) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts (other than those described in Section 2.20(b)) received by the Designated Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Designated Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.7), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Designated Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Designated Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender hereunder; third, if so requested by any Issuing Lender with a Letter of Credit outstanding or with unreimbursed drawings owing under a Letter of Credit, to be held as cash collateral in respect of such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of such L/C Obligations; fourth, if so determined by the Designated Agent or requested by any Issuing Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any L/C Obligations; fifth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Designated Agent; sixth, if so determined by the Borrower with the consent of the Designated Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or any Issuing Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Issuing Lender against that

51

Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; eighth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and ninth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans and unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender or participating interests of that Defaulting Lender in unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(a) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

(b) [reserved];

(c) during any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.4, the Percentage of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in L/C Obligations shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate outstanding Loans of that Lender and that Lender’s Percentage of L/C Obligations. Subject to Section 10.20, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(d) if the reallocation described in paragraph (c) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Designated Agent (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to paragraph (c) above) deposit cash with the Designated Agent as collateral to secure such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of any outstanding L/C Obligations for so long as any such L/C Obligation are outstanding; and

(e) that Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 10.1.

If the Borrower, the Designated Agent and each Issuing Lender reasonably determine in writing that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Designated Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding

52

Loans and Participation Amounts of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Designated Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.20(c)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; 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.

Cash collateral held by the Designated Agent to reduce Fronting Exposure shall be released to the applicable Lender promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.6)); (ii) the Designated Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess cash collateral; and (iii) the termination of the Commitment Period and the repayment in full of all outstanding Loans and L/C Obligations.

2.21 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Designated Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term Benchmark Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Term Benchmark Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate component of the ABR, the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Designated Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate component of the ABR, in each case until such Lender notifies the Designated Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Designated Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term Benchmark Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Designated Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate component of the ABR), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Designated Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the ABR applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate component thereof until the Designated Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.17.

53

SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 L/C Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby and commercial letters of credit (the letters of credit issued pursuant to this Section 3 and including each Existing Letter of Credit, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day on or after the Effective Date and during the Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided, that each of Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch, Barclays Bank PLC and their respective Affiliates shall not be required to issue any commercial letters of credit; provided further that no Issuing Lender shall issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension, (i) the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations owed by the Borrower to any Issuing Lender shall exceed the amount of such Issuing Lender’s L/C Pro Rata Commitment (or such higher amount agreed upon in writing between the Borrower and such Issuing Lender), (ii) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Available Commitments would be less than zero or (iv) the Total Extensions of Credit would exceed the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Bond at any time (as determined by the Designated Agent). Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and, (ii) subject to the second paragraph of Section 3.2, expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date (such fifth Business Day, the “Letter of Credit Expiration Date”).

(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance, amendment or extension would (i) conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law, (ii) violate one or more policies of the Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally or (iii) violate any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority that, by its terms, purports to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Lender. No Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit that is not a standby Letter of Credit, unless otherwise agreed by such Issuing Lender. In the event there is a Defaulting Lender as of the date of any request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue or arrange for such Letter of Credit to the extent the Issuing Lender is not reasonably satisfied that the Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit have been reallocated and/or cash collateralized pursuant to Section 2.20.

(c) Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

54

(d) For all purposes of this Agreement, if on any date of determination, a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Rule 3.13 and Rule 3.14 of the ISP) or similar terms in the Letter of Credit itself that permit a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” in the amount so remaining available to be drawn.

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may request. Concurrently with the delivery of an Application to an Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall deliver a copy thereof to the Designated Agent and the Designated Agent shall provide notice of such request to the Lenders. Upon receipt of any Application, an Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto). Promptly after issuance by an Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower. The Borrower is responsible for the final text of the Letter of Credit as issued by an Issuing Lender, irrespective of any assistance such Issuing Lender may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by Issuing Lender’s use or refusal to use text submitted by the Borrower. The Borrower is solely responsible for the suitability of the Letter of Credit for the Borrower’s purposes. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly give notice to the Designated Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (including the amount thereof), and shall provide a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Designated Agent as soon as possible after the date of issuance. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an Issuing Lender and the Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Application, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Lender for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Issuing Lender shall not permit any such extension if it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Designated

55

Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Designated Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Issuing Lender not to permit such extension.

3.3 Fees and Other Charges.

(a) The Borrower will pay a fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Term Benchmark Loans, shared ratably among the Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders to the extent provided in Section 2.20) in accordance with their respective Percentages and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued in an amount to be agreed between the Borrower and such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

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

3.4 L/C Participations.

(a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount of each drawing paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a drawing is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Designated Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein (and thereafter the Designated Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Percentage of the amount of such drawing, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

56

(b) If any amount (a “Participation Amount”) required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is not paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall so notify the Designated Agent, which shall promptly notify the L/C Participants, and each L/C Participant shall pay to the Designated Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, on demand (and thereafter the Designated Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to the product of (i) such Participation Amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any Participation Amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Designated Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Designated Agent on behalf of such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such Participation Amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans. A certificate of the Designated Agent submitted on behalf of an Issuing Lender to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from the Designated Agent any L/C Participant’s pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to the Designated Agent for the account of such L/C Participant (and thereafter the Designated Agent will promptly distribute to such L/C Participant) its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Designated Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender (and thereafter the Designated Agent shall promptly return to such Issuing Lender) the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender.

3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender on (i) the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice from an Issuing Lender of a drawing on a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender and paid by such Issuing Lender, if such notice is received on such Business Day prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day on which the Borrower receives such notice, for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment which are obligations of the Borrower hereunder (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”). Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.11(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.11(c). If the Borrower fails to make such payment in accordance with

57

the foregoing, such failure shall be deemed to constitute a request by the Borrower to the Designated Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.1 of ABR Loans in an amount equal to the Payment Amount. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Loans could be made, pursuant to Section 2.1, if the Designated Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Designated Agent receives notice from the relevant Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit.

3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower. The liability of an Issuing Lender under, in connection with or arising out of any Letter of Credit (or pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to direct damages suffered by the Borrower that is caused directly by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, in each case as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in (i) honoring a presentation under a Letter of Credit that on its face does not at least substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation under a Letter of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, or (iii) retaining documents presented for purposes of drawing under any Letter of Credit, including by electronic transmission such as SWIFT, electronic mail, facsimile or computer generated communication presented under a Letter of Credit (collectively, “Drawing Documents”). The Borrower’s aggregate remedies against any Issuing Lender for wrongfully honoring a presentation under any Letter of Credit or wrongfully retaining honored Drawing Documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by the Borrower to the Issuing Lender in respect of the honored presentation in connection with such Letter of Credit under Section 3.5, plus interest at the rate then applicable to ABR Loans hereunder.

3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any documents shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall, within the period stipulated by the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, examine the drawing documents. After such examination and provided that the drawing documents are compliant, such Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Designated Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the

58

relevant Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any documents presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, shall be limited, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, in each case as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment appear on their face to be in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

3.9 Actions of Issuing Lenders. Each Issuing Lender shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such Issuing Lender. Each Issuing Lender shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate (provided that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to obtain such advice or concurrence and no L/C Participant’s obligations hereunder shall be affected by the seeking or the failure to seek any such advice or concurrence) or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or otherwise amend any existing Letter of Credit.

During the five year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, there has been no (i) failure to make a required contribution to any Plan that would result in the imposition of a Lien or other encumbrance or the provision of security under Section 430 of the Code or Section 303 or 4068 of ERISA, or the arising of such a Lien or encumbrance; or (ii) “unpaid minimum required contribution” or “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined or otherwise set forth in Section 4971 of the Code or Part 3 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA), whether or not waived, except, in each case, to the extent that such event could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date for which a certified actuarial valuation report is available prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan during the five year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No such Multiemployer Plan is in endangered or critical status (within the meaning of Section 305 of ERISA) or in Insolvency.

4.13 Environmental Matters. Except as disclosed in the Specified Exchange Act Filings, the Borrower and its Significant Subsidiaries are not subject to any pending violations or liabilities under Environmental Laws or relating to the disposal, spill or other release of Materials of Environmental Concern that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, there are no facts, circumstances or conditions that could reasonably be expected to give rise to such violations or liabilities.

4.14 Regulatory Matters. Solely by virtue of the execution, delivery and performance of, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, no Lender shall be or become subject to regulation (a) under the FPA or (b) as a “public utility” or “public service corporation” or the equivalent under any Requirement of Law.

The Borrower will not use the proceeds of Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds (a) to any Subsidiary, Affiliate, joint venture partner or other Person or entity, to fund the activities of any Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is, or whose government is, the subject of any Sanctions, or (b) directly, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the FCPA or of any Anti-Corruption Laws.

73

cured by the Borrower or such Significant Subsidiary or waived by the holders of such Indebtedness and any acceleration of maturity having resulted from such default shall be rescinded or annulled, in each case, in accordance with the terms of such agreement or instrument, without any modification of the terms of such Indebtedness requiring the Borrower or such Significant Subsidiary to furnish security or additional security therefor, reducing the average life to maturity thereof or increasing the principal amount thereof, or any agreement by the Borrower or such Significant Subsidiary to furnish security or additional security therefor or to issue in lieu thereof Indebtedness secured by additional or other collateral or with a shorter average life to maturity or in a greater principal amount, then any Default hereunder by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon cured or waived; or

(i) there shall have occurred a Change of Control; or

74

(j) any Loan Document, at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason other than as expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder or satisfaction in full of all the Obligations, ceases to be in full force and effect; or the Borrower contests in any manner in writing the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document; or the Borrower denies in writing that it has any or further liability or obligation under any Loan Document, or purports in writing to revoke, terminate or rescind any Loan Document; or

(k) at any time (i) the Senior Bond shall cease to be outstanding for any reason other than (A) the termination of the Total Commitments, the payment in full of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other obligations then due and owing under the Loan Documents and the termination or expiration of the Letters of Credit or (B) the payment in full of the Senior Bond, (ii) the Designated Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall cease at any time to be the holder of the Senior Bond for all purposes of the FMB Indenture (unless the Senior Bond is transferred by the Designated Agent) or (iii) the Lien of the FMB Indenture shall cease to constitute a valid and enforceable Lien on the Mortgaged Property;

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Designated Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Designated Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Designated Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Designated Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time deposit in an interest-bearing cash collateral account opened by the Designated Agent pursuant to the Escrow Deposit and Disbursement Agreement an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit.

After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such interest-bearing cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). Except as expressly provided above in this Section, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

75

SECTION 9. THE AGENTS

9.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Designated Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Designated Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Designated Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions (other than with respect to the Borrower’s rights under Sections 9.9(a) and (b)). It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Designated Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. The Designated Agent, and any such sub-agent may each perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Designated Agent, and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Designated Agent. The Designated Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Designated Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:

(i) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that an Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

76

(iii) shall, 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 Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.1 and 8), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.

(c) No Agent shall 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 (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

9.4 Reliance by Designated Agent. The Designated 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) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Designated 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 a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Designated Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Designated Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of such Letter of Credit. The Designated Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for 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.

9.5 Notice of Default. The Designated Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Designated Agent has received notice from a Lender, an Issuing 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 Designated Agent receives such a notice, the Designated Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders. The Designated Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such 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 and the Issuing Lenders.

77

9.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender and Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Designated Agent hereunder, the Designated Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or Affiliates.

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

9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Lender as any other Lender or Issuing Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender”, “Issuing Lender”, “Lenders” or “Issuing Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include such Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders.

78

9.9 Successor Agents.

(a) The Designated Agent may resign upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Designated Agent shall so resign under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Designated Agent and the term “Designated Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Designated Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Designated Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation (the “Resignation Effective Date”), the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Designated Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Designated Agent the provisions of Section 9.7 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) If the Person serving as Designated Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (e) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Designated Agent and, shall appoint a successor, subject to the approval of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of the Senior Bond held by the Designated Agent on behalf of the Lenders or any Issuing Lender, the retiring or removed Designated Agent shall continue to hold such Senior Bond in its name until such time as a successor Designated Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Designated Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Designated Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Designated Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Designated Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent

79

(other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable)), and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section and Sections 2.17, 3.10 and 10.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as Agent.

9.11 Designated Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, the Designated Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Designated 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 the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Designated Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Designated Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Designated Agent under Sections 2.6,2.17,3.3,3.10 and 10.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

80

(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 Letters of Credit, 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 Letters of Credit, 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 Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, 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 Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

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

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

81

(a) If the Designated Agent notifies a Lender or Issuing Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Lender, such Lender or Issuing Lender (any such Lender or Issuing Lender or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Designated Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Designated Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or Issuing Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Designated Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Designated Agent, and such Lender or Issuing Lender 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 Business Days thereafter, return to the Designated 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), together with interest thereon 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 Designated Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Designated Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Designated Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or Issuing Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Lender, such Lender or Issuing Lender, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Designated Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Designated 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 Designated Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Issuing Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

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

(ii) such Lender or Issuing Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Designated Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Designated Agent pursuant to this Section 9.13(b).

82

(c) Each Lender or Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Designated Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Designated Agent to such Lender or Issuing Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Designated Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Designated Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Designated Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Issuing Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Designated Agent’s notice to such Lender or Issuing Lender at any time, (i) such Lender or Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Designated Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Designated Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to the Platform as to which the Designated Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuing Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Designated Agent, (ii) the Designated Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Designated Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Lender shall cease to be a Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Lender and (iv) the Designated Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Designated Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuing Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Designated Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuing Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or Issuing Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Designated Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Designated Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Designated Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or Issuing Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

83

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Designated Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(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 Designated Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Designated Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Subject to Section 2.13(b) and (c), neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The Required Lenders and the Borrower may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Designated Agent and the Borrower may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Borrower hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall:

(i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except that only the Lenders who are increasing their Commitments are required to consent to a request by the Borrower under Section 2.3 to increase the Total Commitments);

(ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 10.1 or Section 10.6(a)(i) without the written consent of such Lender;

(iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders without the written consent of all Lenders;

84

(iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.14, Section 10.07 (Application of Money Collected) of the FMB Indenture or any similar provision in the Loan Documents related to pro rata treatment without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the written consent of the Designated Agent;

(vi) [reserved];

(vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 5.1 without the written consent of all the Lenders;

(ix) instruct the Designated Agent to vote the Senior Bond in favor of the release of all or substantially all of the Mortgaged Property without the written consent of all the Lenders.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the Designated Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Designated Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.1, if the Designated Agent and the Borrower acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Designated Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and any such amendment, modification or supplement shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

If the Required Lenders shall have approved any amendment which requires the consent of all of the Lenders, the Borrower shall be permitted to replace any non-consenting Lender with another financial institution, provided that, (i) the replacement financial institution shall purchase at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (ii) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.17 if any Term Benchmark Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto (as if such purchase constituted a prepayment of such Loans), (iii) such replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Designated Agent and each Issuing Lender, (iv) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (v) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights the Borrower, the Designated Agent, or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

85

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, supplement, modification, 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 (i) (x) an increase or extension of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, or (y) any reduction of the amount of principal or interest owed to such Defaulting Lender shall, in each case, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, and (ii) a Defaulting Lender’s Percentage shall be taken into consideration along with the Percentage of non-Defaulting Lenders when voting to approve or disapprove any waiver, amendment or modification that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders.

10.2 Notices.

(a) All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered during the recipient’s normal business hours, or three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received during the recipient’s normal business hours, addressed as follows in the case of the Borrower and the Designated Agent, and as set forth in an administrative questionnaire delivered to the Designated Agent in the case of the Lenders, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto:

The Designated Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(c) Unless the Designated Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

In no event shall the Designated Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including,

87

without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Designated Agent’s transmission of Communications through the Platform, except to the extent such liability resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Designated Agent or any of its Related Parties as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Designated Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

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

10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.

10.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Designated Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Lenders for all their respective reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of only one joint counsel and one joint special California counsel and, if necessary, one joint local counsel in each other relevant jurisdiction to the Designated Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders (and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel for each applicable jurisdiction to each group of similarly situated affected persons) and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the Effective Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Effective Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Designated Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, each Issuing Lender, and the Designated Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of its rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of only one joint counsel, one joint special California counsel and, if necessary, one local counsel in each other relevant jurisdiction to the Designated Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders (and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel for each applicable jurisdiction to each group of similarly situated affected persons), and (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, each Issuing Lender, the Designated Agent and their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and

Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Significant Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Significant Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(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 (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) 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 by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.6.

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) other than a Defaulting Lender, any Subsidiary of a Defaulting Lender, any natural person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned or operated by or for the primary benefit of, one or more natural persons), the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender (or an Affiliate of any Lender) or an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Section 8(a), (e) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person, and provided further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Designated Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof from the assigning Lender (with a copy to the Designated Agent);

(B) the Designated Agent, provided that no consent of the Designated Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment or Loan to an Assignee that is a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) with a Commitment or Loan immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment; and

(C) each Issuing Lender.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Eligible Assignee that is an Affiliate of any Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Designated Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 (or, if such Assignee is an Eligible Assignee that is an Affiliate of a Lender, $5,000,000) unless each of the Borrower and the Designated Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) with respect to any Lender party to this Agreement on the Effective Date, such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of such Lender and any Affiliate of such Lender that is an Eligible Assignee;

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

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.5 but shall be subject to the limitations set forth therein); provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from the Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Designated Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely to establish that the relevant obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations), shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations 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 Designated Agent, the Issuing Lenders 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, each Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

91

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Designated Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Designated Agent or any Issuing Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (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 the Loans owing to it); 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 Designated Agent, the Issuing Lender 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 to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent to such greater payments. Any Participant that is a Foreign Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.16(e).

(vii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Designated Agent (in its capacity as Designated Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

92

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 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 Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

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

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower, the Designated Agent or any Issuing Lender and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6(b). Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Designated Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage, expense, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits or any kind whatsoever arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, none of the Agents, in their capacity as Lenders, will assign without the consent of the Borrower, prior to the Effective Date, any of the Commitments held by them on the Effective Date.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6, for the avoidance of doubt, Goldman Sachs Bank USA may assign any amount of its Commitments or Loans hereunder to Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC (or vice versa) without the prior written consent of any other Person.

10.7 Adjustments; Set off.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it hereunder, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender hereunder, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender hereunder, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

93

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, including other rights of set-off, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), after any applicable grace period, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch, Affiliate or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Designated Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.20 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Designated Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Designated Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Designated Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.8 Counterparts; Electronic Execution; Binding Effect. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart hereof. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include an electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to, or associated with, a contract or other record and adopted by a Person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Designated Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Designated Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, electronic images of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto) shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (ii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents

94

based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Loan Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto. This Agreement shall become binding on the parties hereto when it shall have been executed by the Designated Agent and the Designated Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.9, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Designated Agent or any Issuing Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

10.19 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

(a) 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 and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

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