(g) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) references to Organizational Documents, agreements (including the Loan Documents) and other contractual instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements, extensions, supplements, replacements, extensions, renewals, refinancings, restructurings and other modifications thereto, but only to the extent that such amendments, restatements, extensions, supplements, replacements, extensions, renewals, refinancings, restructurings and other modifications are not prohibited hereby; and (b) references to any law shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such law.

(h) All references to “knowledge” or “awareness” of any Loan Party or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof means the actual knowledge of an Authorized Officer of a Loan Party or such Restricted Subsidiary.

(i) The word “or” is not exclusive.

(j) All certifications to be made hereunder by an officer or representative of a Loan Party shall be made by such a Person in his or her capacity solely as an officer or representative of such Loan Party, on such Loan Party’s behalf and not in such Person’s individual capacity.

(k) To the extent that any transaction (or series of related transactions) pursuant to, described in, contemplated by, or permitted by Section 7.11, Section 8.03, Section 8.04, Section 8.05, Section 8.06, Section 8.07, or Section 8.08 (in each case other than (x) the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business and (y) the sale or discount, without recourse, of accounts receivable (other than Eligible Accounts or Eligible Credit Card Receivables) arising in the ordinary course of business (but only in connection with the compromise or collection thereof)), in each case involves the Disposition of or would result in the ineligibility (after receipt by Administrative Agent of an updated Borrowing Base Certificate immediately after giving effect to such transaction and including if a Borrower is not the continuing or surviving entity of, or no longer exists after giving effect to, such transaction) of Eligible Accounts, Eligible Credit

Card Receivables, or Eligible Inventory, with an aggregate fair market value in excess of the greater of $5,000,000 and 10% of the Line Cap, (i) substantially concurrently with such transaction, an Authorized Officer of the Parent Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent an updated Borrowing Base Certificate after giving effect to such transaction and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary (including whether or not any buckets, tests, carve outs or terms otherwise permit or do not restrict such transaction) in any Loan Document, such transaction shall not be permitted if any Overadvance is currently in effect or if such transaction results in an Overadvance after giving effect to such updated Borrowing Base Certificate and any repayment of the Revolving Loans in connection with such transaction.

(l) For purposes of determining compliance with Section 8.01, 8.02, 8.04, 8.05, 8.06 or 8.07, in the event that any Indebtedness, Liens, Disposition, Restricted Payment, Investments or prepayment of Indebtedness in a currency other than Dollars, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time the Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries is contractually obligated to incur, make or acquire such Indebtedness, Liens, Disposition, Restricted Payment, Investments or prepayment of Indebtedness (so long as, at the time of entering into the contract to incur, make or acquire such Indebtedness, Liens, Disposition, Restricted Payment, Investments or prepayment of Indebtedness, it was permitted hereunder) and once contractually obligated to be incurred, made or acquired, the amount of such Indebtedness, Liens, Disposition, Restricted Payment, Investments or prepayment of Indebtedness, shall be always deemed to be at the Dollar amount on such date, regardless of later changes in currency exchange rates.

(m) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of (i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires calculation of the Total Net Leverage Ratio or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, (ii) determining compliance with representations and warranties (other than (A) customary “specified representations” with respect to the applicable acquired company or business and (B) such of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the applicable acquired company or business in the applicable acquisition agreement as are material to the interests of the holders, but only to the extent that Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary has the right to terminate its obligations under such acquisition agreement or not consummate such acquisition as a result of a breach of such representations or warranties in such acquisition agreement), whether a Default or Event or Default has occurred, is continuing or would result from an action or (iii) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including any baskets based on a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA) (including the incurrence of any Increase), in each case in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, the date of determination of whether such Limited Condition Acquisition (including any Specified Transaction in connection therewith) is permitted hereunder shall, at the irrevocable option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”) and if, after such ratios and other provisions are measured on a Pro Forma

Basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other Specified Transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the four consecutive fiscal quarter period being used to calculate such financial ratio ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratios and provisions, such provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or the target of such Limited Condition Acquisition) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such ratios and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Acquisition (and any Specified Transaction in connection therewith) is permitted hereunder and (y) such ratios and other provisions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related Specified Transactions. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to any other Specified Transaction on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

(n) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (a) unless specifically stated otherwise herein, any dollar, number, percentage or other amount available under any carve-out, basket, exclusion or exception to any affirmative, negative or other covenant in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be accumulated, added, combined, aggregated or used together by any Loan Party and its Subsidiaries without limitation for any purpose not prohibited hereby, and (b) any action or event permitted by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such action or event but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(o) For purposes of determining compliance with Section 8.01, in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) described in Sections 8.01, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if incurred at such later time), such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with Sections 8.01 and 8.02 and will be entitled to only include the amount and type of such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in one of the above clauses (or any portion thereof) and such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) shall be treated as having been incurred or existing pursuant to only such clause or clauses (or any portion thereof) without giving pro forma

effect to such item (or portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to any other clause; provided that (1)(x) all Indebtedness under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to Section 8.01(a), (y) all Indebtedness under the First Lien Term Loan Documents and any First Lien Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i) and (z) all Indebtedness under the Second Lien Loan Documents and any Second Lien Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(ii) and (2) the Borrower shall not be permitted to classify or reclassify all or any portion of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or (b). For purposes of determining compliance with any one of Section 8.02, 8.04, 8.05, 8.06 or 8.07 in the event that any Liens, Investments, Dispositions, Restricted Payments or other restricted payments (including restricted debt payments) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of transactions permitted pursuant to any clause of such Section, such transaction (or portion thereof) at any time shall be permitted under one or more of such clauses as determined by the Borrower (and the Borrower shall be entitled to redesignate use of any such clauses from time to time) in its sole discretion at such time.

(p) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, pro forma compliance with any Total Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with any such financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts (and any cash proceeds thereof) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence and shall be calculated for the most recent twelve consecutive month period ending prior to the date of such determination for which internal consolidated financial statements of Holdings are available, except that incurrences of Indebtedness and Liens constituting Fixed Amounts shall be taken into account for purposes of Incurrence Based Amounts.

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

Section 2.02 Time References. Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, all references to time of day refer to Eastern standard time or Eastern daylight saving time, as in effect in New York, New York on such day. For purposes of the computation of a period of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each means “to and including”; provided that, with respect to a computation of fees or interest payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender, such period shall in any event consist of at least one full day. In the event that performance of any obligation is due on a day that is not a Business Day, then the time for such performance shall be extended to the next Business Day.

Section 2.03 Rates. Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or with respect to any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any then-current Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.11(d)(iii), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto and such transactions may be adverse to a Borrower. Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or any other Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service, except, without limiting any waivers contained in Section 12.01, to the extent directly resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) of the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE III

LOANS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

Section 3.01 Revolving Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and during the term of this Agreement, each Lender agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make revolving loans (“Revolving Loans”) to Borrower in an amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of:

(i) such Lender’s Revolver Commitment, or

(ii) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to the lesser of:

(A) the amount equal to (1) the Maximum Revolver Amount less (2) the sum of (y) the Letter of Credit Usage at such time, plus (z) the principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding at such time, and

(B) the amount equal to (1) the Borrowing Base as of such date (based upon the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by Borrower to Administrative Agent) less (2) the sum of (y) the Letter of Credit Usage at such time, plus (z) the principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding at such time.

(b) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 3.01 may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall constitute Obligations and shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01 notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation), in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion, to establish and increase or decrease Bank Product Reserves, Rent Reserve and other Reserves against the Borrowing Base upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Parent Borrower (during which period the Administrative Agent shall be available to discuss in good faith any such proposed Reserve with the Borrower and acknowledges that the Loan Parties may take any actions permitted under the Loan Documents to attempt to remedy any such event, condition or matter giving rise to any such Reserves; it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall make any determination of whether, and to what extent, any such actions have been successful in its Permitted Discretion); provided that no such prior written notice shall be required (1) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default and (2) for changes to any Reserves resulting solely by virtue of mathematical calculations of the amount of the Reserve in accordance with the methodology of calculation previously disclosed and utilized; provided further no Loans shall be made to the Borrower (unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) if after giving effect to such Loan the outstanding amount of Loans and outstanding Letters of Credit would exceed the Line Cap less such Reserves during such three (3) Business Days period. The amount of any Bank Product Reserve, Rent Reserve or other Reserve established by Administrative Agent shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition, other circumstance, or fact that is the basis for such reserve and shall not be duplicative of any other eligibility criteria or reserve established and currently maintained.

Section 3.02 Borrowing Procedures and Settlements.

(a) Procedure for Borrowing Revolving Loans. Each Borrowing shall be made by a written request (a “Notice of Borrowing”) by an Authorized Officer delivered to Administrative Agent (which may be delivered through the Administrative Agent’s electronic platform or portal) and received by Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (i) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date in the case of a request for a Swing Loan, ~~and~~ (ii) on the Business Day that is 1 Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date in the case of ~~all other requests~~a request for a Base Rate Loan, and (iii) on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day that is three U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date in the case of a request for a SOFR Loan, specifying (A) the amount of such Borrowing, and (B) the requested Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day); provided, that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to accept as timely requests that are received later than 10:00 a.m. on the applicable Business Day~~. At~~ or U.S. Government Securities Business Day, as applicable. All Borrowing requests which are not made on-line via Administrative Agent’s ~~election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Officer may give~~electronic platform or portal shall be subject to (and unless Administrative Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, Borrower agrees that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving of such telephonic notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request.elects otherwise in the exercise of its sole discretion, such Borrowings shall not be made until the completion of) Administrative Agent’s authentication process (with results reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent) prior to the funding of any such requested Borrowing.

(b) Making of Swing Loans. In the case of a request for a Revolving Loan and so long as either (i) the aggregate amount of Swing Loans made since the last Settlement Date, minus all payments or other amounts applied to Swing Loans since the last Settlement Date, plus the amount of the requested Swing Loan does not exceed $10,000,000, or (ii) Swing Lender, in its sole discretion, agrees to make a Swing Loan notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, Swing Lender shall make a Revolving Loan (any such Revolving Loan made by Swing Lender pursuant to this Section 3.02(b) being referred to as a “Swing Loan” and all such Revolving Loans being referred to as “Swing Loans”) available to Borrower on the Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring immediately available funds in the amount of such requested Borrowing to the Designated Account. Each Swing Loan shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions (including Article VI) applicable to other Revolving Loans, except that all payments (including interest) on any Swing Loan shall be payable to Swing Lender solely for its own account. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02(d)(ii), Swing Lender shall not make and shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan if Swing Lender has actual knowledge that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (ii) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date. Swing Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI have been satisfied on the Funding Date applicable thereto prior to making any Swing Loan. The Swing Loans shall be secured by Collateral Agent’s Liens, constitute Revolving Loans and Obligations, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

(i) In the event that Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan, then after receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 3.02(a), Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, email, or other electronic form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing; such notification to be sent on the Business Day ~~that is 1 Business Day~~or U.S. Government Securities Business Day, as applicable, that is (A) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, at least one Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date, or (B) in the case of a SOFR Loan, prior to 2:00 p.m. at least three U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date. If Administrative Agent has notified the Lenders of a requested Borrowing on the Business Day that is 1 Business Day prior to the Funding Date, then each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, to ~~Administrative~~ Agent’s Account, not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date. After Administrative Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans from the Lenders, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to ~~Borrower~~Borrowers on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Administrative Agent to the Designated Account; provided, that, subject to the provisions of Section 3.02(d)(ii), no Lender shall have an obligation to make any Revolving Loan, if (1) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date.

(ii) Unless Administrative Agent receives notice from a Lender prior to 9:30 a.m. on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date relative to a requested Borrowing as to which Administrative Agent has notified the Lenders of a requested Borrowing that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Administrative Agent for the account of Borrower the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make such amount available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If, on the requested Funding Date, any Lender shall not have remitted the full amount that it is required to make available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds and if Administrative Agent has made available to Borrower such amount on the requested Funding Date, then such Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, to ~~Administrative~~ Agent’s Account, no later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day that is the first Business Day after the

requested Funding Date (in which case, the interest accrued on such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing for the Funding Date shall be for Administrative Agent’s separate account). If any Lender shall not remit the full amount that it is required to make available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds as and when required hereby and if Administrative Agent has made available to Borrower such amount, then that Lender shall be obligated to immediately remit such amount to Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day until the date on which such amount is so remitted. A notice submitted by Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 3.02(c)(ii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If the amount that a Lender is required to remit is made available to Administrative Agent, then such payment to Administrative Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Administrative Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, Administrative Agent will notify Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall pay such amount to Administrative Agent for Administrative Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans composing such Borrowing.

(d) Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances.

(i) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, but subject to Section 3.02(d)(iv) at any time (A) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI are not satisfied, Administrative Agent hereby is authorized by Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to make Revolving Loans to, or for the benefit of, Borrower, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, that Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations) (the Revolving Loans described in this Section 3.02(d)(i) shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of all Protective Advances outstanding at any one time shall not exceed $10,000,000.

(ii) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, but subject to Section 3.02(d)(iv), the Lenders hereby authorize Administrative Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, and either Administrative Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Revolving Loans (including Swing Loans) to Borrower notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or would be created thereby, so long as (A) after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, the outstanding Revolver Usage, and (B) after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, the outstanding Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the

Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount. In the event Administrative Agent obtains actual knowledge that the Revolver Usage exceeds the amounts permitted by the immediately foregoing provisions, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional Overadvances (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) unless Administrative Agent determines that prior notice would result in imminent harm to the Collateral or its value, in which case Administrative Agent may make such Overadvances and provide notice as promptly as practicable thereafter), and the Lenders with Commitments thereupon shall, together with Administrative Agent, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with Borrower intended to reduce, within a reasonable time, the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans to Borrower to an amount permitted by the preceding sentence. In such circumstances, if any Lender with a Commitment objects to the proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required Lenders. The foregoing provisions are meant for the benefit of the Lenders and Administrative Agent and are not meant for the benefit of Borrower, which shall continue to be bound by the provisions of Section 3.03(e). Each Lender with a Commitment shall be obligated to settle with Administrative Agent as provided in Section 3.02(e) for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any unintentional Overadvances by Administrative Agent reported to such Lender, any intentional Overadvances made as permitted under this Section 3.02(d)(ii), and any Overadvances resulting from the charging to the Loan Account of interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses.

(iii) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance (each, an “Extraordinary Advance”) shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder, except that no Extraordinary Advance shall be eligible to be a ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loan and, prior to Settlement therefor, all payments on the Extraordinary Advances shall be payable to Administrative Agent solely for its own account. The Extraordinary Advances shall be repayable on demand, secured by Collateral Agent’s Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. The provisions of this Section 3.02(d) are for the exclusive benefit of Administrative Agent, Swing Lender, and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit Borrower (or any other Loan Party) in any way.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary: (A) no Extraordinary Advance may be made by Administrative Agent if such Extraordinary Advance would cause the aggregate principal amount of Extraordinary Advances outstanding to exceed an amount equal to 10% of the Maximum Revolver Amount; and (B) to the extent that the making of any Extraordinary Advance causes the aggregate Revolver Usage to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount, such portion of such Extraordinary Advance shall be for Administrative Agent’s sole and separate account and not for the account of any Lender and shall be entitled to priority in repayment in accordance with Section 10.03.

(e) Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Revolving Loans is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans. Such agreement notwithstanding, Administrative Agent, Swing Lender, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Lenders as to the Revolving Loans, the Swing Loans, and the Extraordinary Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Administrative Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (1) on behalf of Swing Lender, with respect to the outstanding Swing Loans, (2) for itself, with respect to the outstanding Extraordinary Advances, and (3) with respect to Borrower’s or any of their Subsidiaries’ payments or other amounts received, as to each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, and Extraordinary Advances for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including Section 3.02(g)): (y) if the amount of the Revolving Loans (including Swing Loans, and Extraordinary Advances) made by a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (including Swing Loans, and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Administrative Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a Deposit Account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate), an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (including Swing Loans, and Extraordinary Advances), and (z) if the amount of the Revolving Loans (including Swing Loans, and Extraordinary Advances) made by a Lender is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (including Swing Loans, and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to ~~Administrative~~ Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (including Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances). Such amounts made available to Administrative Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swing Loans or Extraordinary Advances and, together with the portion of such Swing Loans or Extraordinary Advances representing Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share

thereof, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Administrative Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate.

(ii) In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, and Extraordinary Advances is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, and Extraordinary Advances as of a Settlement Date, Administrative Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by Administrative Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrower and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral.

(iii) Between Settlement Dates, Administrative Agent, to the extent Extraordinary Advances or Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Administrative Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, any payments or other amounts received by Administrative Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans, for application to the Extraordinary Advances or Swing Loans. Between Settlement Dates, Administrative Agent, to the extent no Extraordinary Advances or Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Swing Lender any payments or other amounts received by Administrative Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans, for application to Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans. If, as of any Settlement Date, payments or other amounts of Borrower or its Subsidiaries received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans other than to Swing Loans, as provided for in the previous sentence, Swing Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, and Administrative Agent shall pay to the Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender if Administrative Agent has implemented the provisions of Section 3.02(g)), to be applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans. During the period between Settlement Dates, Swing Lender with respect to Swing Loans, Administrative Agent with respect to Extraordinary Advances, and each Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans other than Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by Swing Lender, Administrative Agent, or the Lenders, as applicable.

(iv) Anything in this Section 3.02(e) to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from remitting settlement amounts to the Defaulting Lender and, instead, shall be entitled to elect to implement the provisions set forth in Section 3.02(g).

(f) Notation. Administrative Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrower, shall maintain a register showing the principal amount of the Revolving Loans, owing to each Lender, including the Swing Loans owing to Swing Lender, and Extraordinary Advances owing to Administrative Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such register shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate.

(g) Defaulting Lenders.

(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.03(b)(ii), Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrower to Administrative Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit or any proceeds of Collateral that would otherwise be remitted hereunder to the Defaulting Lender, and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent shall transfer any such payments (A) first, to Swing Lender to the extent of any Swing Loans that were made by Swing Lender and that were required to be, but were not, paid by the Defaulting Lender, (B) second, to Issuing Bank, to the extent of the portion of a Letter of Credit Disbursement that was required to be, but was not, paid by the Defaulting Lender, (C) third, to each Non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their Commitments (but, in each case, only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s portion of a Revolving Loan (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other Non-Defaulting Lender), (D) to a suspense account maintained by Administrative Agent, the proceeds of which shall be retained by Administrative Agent and may be made available to be re-advanced to or for the benefit of Borrower (upon the request of Borrower and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.02) as if such Defaulting Lender had made its portion of Revolving Loans (or other funding obligations) hereunder, and (E) from and after the date on which all other Obligations have been paid in full, to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with tier (xii) of Section 10.03(b). Subject to the foregoing, Administrative Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents (including the calculation of Pro Rata Share in connection therewith) and for the purpose of calculating the fee payable under Section 3.09(b), such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to any of the matters governed by Section 12.12(a)(i) through (iii). The provisions of this Section 3.02(g) shall remain effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender until the earlier of (y) the date on which all of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, and Borrower shall have waived, in writing, the application of this Section 3.02(g) to such Defaulting Lender, or (z) the date on which such Defaulting Lender makes payment of all amounts that it was

obligated to fund hereunder, pays to Administrative Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect of the amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, and, if requested by Administrative Agent, provides adequate assurance of its ability to perform its future obligations hereunder (on which earlier date, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any remaining cash collateral held by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.02(g)(ii) shall be released to Borrower). The operation of this Section 3.02(g) shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder to Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Borrower, at their option, upon written notice to Administrative Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Assumption in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being paid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations, but including (1) all interest, fees, and other amounts that may be due and payable in respect thereof, and (2) an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of its participation in the Letters of Credit); provided, that any such assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Groups’ or Borrower’s rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund. In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 3.02(g) and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 3.02(g) shall control and govern.

(ii) If any Swing Loan or Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time that a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(A) such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent (x) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Loan Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 are satisfied at such time;

(B) if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Loan Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above), pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding; provided, that Borrower shall not be obligated to cash collateralize any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure if such Defaulting Lender is also the Issuing Bank;

(C) if Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to this Section 3.02(g)(ii), Borrower shall not be required to pay any Letter of Credit Fees to Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(b) with respect to such cash collateralized portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized;

(D) to the extent the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 3.02(g)(ii), then the Letter of Credit Fees payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 3.05(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Letter of Credit Exposure;

(E) to the extent any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 3.02(g)(ii), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees that would have otherwise been payable to such Defaulting Lender under Section 3.05(b) with respect to such portion of such Letter of Credit Exposure shall instead be payable to the Issuing Bank until such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized or reallocated;

(F) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Lender shall not be required to make any Swing Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, or increase any Letter of Credit, in each case, to the extent (x) the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Loans or Letter of Credit cannot be reallocated pursuant to this Section 3.02(g)(ii) or (y) the Swing Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, has not otherwise entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Swing Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, and Borrower to eliminate the Swing Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Loans or Letters of Credit; and

(G) Administrative Agent may release any cash collateral provided by Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.02(g)(ii) to the Issuing Bank and the Issuing Bank may apply any such cash collateral to the payment of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Disbursement that is not reimbursed by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.10(d).

(h) Independent Obligations. All Revolving Loans (other than Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances) shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loan (or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.03 Payments; Reductions of Commitments; Prepayments.

(a) Payments by Borrower.

(i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower shall be made to ~~Administrative~~ Agent’s Account for the account of the Lender Group and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 1:30 p.m. on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Administrative Agent later than 1:30 p.m. shall be deemed to have been received (unless Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, elects to credit it on the date received) on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day.

(ii) Unless Administrative Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made (or will make) such payment in full to Administrative Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrower does not make such payment in full to Administrative Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

(b) [Reserved].

The Revolver Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. Borrower may reduce the Revolver Commitments, without premium or penalty, to an amount not less than the greater of (a) $30,000,000 and (b) the sum of (1) the Revolver Usage as of such date, plus (2) the principal amount of all Revolving Loans not yet made as to which a request has been given by Borrower under Section 3.02(a), plus (3) the amount of all Letters of Credit not yet issued as to which a request has been given by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.10(a). Each such reduction shall be in an amount which is not less than $1,000,000, shall be made by providing not less than 5 days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, and shall be irrevocable (provided that, to the extent that such notice states that it is conditioned upon the consummation of any other transaction or the occurrence of any event (including an acquisition or a Change of Control), such notice may be revoked by the Parent Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied). Once reduced, the Revolver Commitments may not be increased. Each such reduction of the Revolver Commitments shall reduce the Revolver Commitments of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its ratable share thereof.

(d) Optional Prepayments.

Borrower may prepay the principal of any Revolving Loan at any time in whole or in part, without premium or penalty and any such prepayment under this Section 3.03(cd) shall not result in a reduction of the Revolver Commitments.

(e) Mandatory Prepayments.

If, at any time, (A) the Revolver Usage on such date exceeds the lesser of (B) the Borrowing Base reflected in the Borrowing Base Certificate most recently delivered by Borrower to Administrative Agent, and (C) the aggregate commitments under the Facility then Borrower shall immediately prepay the Obligations in accordance with Section 10.03(b) in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such excess.

(f) Application of Payments. Each prepayment pursuant to Section 3.03(d) shall, (A) so long as no Application Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied, first, to the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans until paid in full, and second, to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 105% of the then outstanding Letter of Credit Usage, and (B) if an Application Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied in the manner set forth in Section 10.03(b).

Section 3.04 Promise to Pay; Promissory Notes.

(a) Borrower agree to pay the Lender Group Expenses on the earlier of (i) the first day of the month following the date on which the applicable Lender Group Expenses were first incurred (so long as no Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall provide Borrower a copy of the applicable invoice at least 5 Business Days prior to such date) and (ii) the date on which demand therefor is made by Administrative Agent (it being acknowledged and agreed that any charging of such costs, expenses or Lender Group Expenses to the Loan Account pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.05(d) shall

be deemed to constitute a demand for payment thereof for the purposes of this subclause (ii)). Borrower promise to pay all of the Obligations (including principal, interest, premiums, if any, fees, costs, and expenses (including Lender Group Expenses)) in full on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which the Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations) become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Borrower agree that their obligations contained in the first sentence of this Section 3.04(a) shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other Obligations.

(b) Any Lender may request that any portion of its Commitments or the Loans made by it be evidenced by one or more promissory notes (each a “Note”). In such event, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender the requested promissory notes payable to the order of such Lender in a form furnished by Administrative Agent and reasonably satisfactory to Borrower. Thereafter, the portion of the Commitments and Loans evidenced by such promissory notes and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein.

Section 3.05 Interest Rates and Letter of Credit Fee: Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

(a) Interest Rates. Except as provided in Section 3.05(c), all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest as follows:

(i) if the relevant Obligation is a ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the ~~LIBOR Rate~~Adjusted Term SOFR plus the ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Margin, and

(ii) otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin.

(b) Letter of Credit Fee. Borrower shall pay Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders), a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) (which fee shall be in addition to the fronting fees and commissions, other fees, charges and expenses set forth in Section 3.10(k)) that shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Margin times the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

(i) all overdue Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable thereunder, and

(ii) the Letter of Credit Fee shall be increased to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder.

(d) Payment. Except to the extent provided to the contrary in Section 3.09, Section 3.10(k) or Section 3.11(a), (i) all interest, all Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month and (ii) all costs and expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and all Lender Group Expenses shall be due and payable on the earlier of (x) the first Business Day of the month following the date on which the applicable costs, expenses, or Lender Group Expenses were first invoiced to Borrower (so long as no Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall endeavor to provide Borrower a copy of the applicable invoice at least 5 Business Days prior to such date) and (y) the date on which demand therefor is made by Administrative Agent (it being acknowledged and agreed that any charging of such costs, expenses or Lender Group Expenses to the Loan Account pursuant to the provisions of the following sentence shall be deemed to constitute a demand for payment thereof for the purposes of this subclause (y)). Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent, from time to time without prior notice to Borrower, to charge to the Loan Account (A) on the first day of each month, all interest accrued during the prior month on the Revolving Loans hereunder, (B) on the first day of each month, all Letter of Credit Fees accrued or chargeable hereunder during the prior month, (C) as and when incurred or accrued, all fees and costs provided for in Section 3.09(a) or (c), (D) on the first day of each month, the Unused Line Fee accrued during the prior month pursuant to Section 3.09(b), as and when incurred or accrued (so long as no Event of Default Exists, Administrative Agent shall endeavor to provide Borrower a copy of the applicable invoice at least 5 Business Days prior to such charging of the Loan Account), all audit, appraisal, valuation, or other charges or fees payable hereunder pursuant to Section 3.09(c), (F) as and when incurred or accrued, all fees, charges, commissions, and costs provided for in Section 3.10(k), (G) as and when due and payable, all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, (H) as and when incurred or accrued, (so long as no Event of Default Exists, Administrative Agent shall endeavor to provide Borrower a copy of the applicable invoice at least 5 Business Days prior to such charging of the Loan Account) all other Lender Group Expenses, and (I) as and when due and payable all other payment obligations payable (so long as no Event of Default Exists, Administrative Agent shall endeavor to provide Borrower a copy of the applicable invoice at least 5 Business Days prior to such charging of the Loan Account) under any Loan Document or any Bank Product Agreement (including any amounts due and payable to the Bank Product Providers in respect of Bank Products). All amounts (including interest, fees, costs, expenses, Lender Group Expenses, or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any Bank Product Agreement) charged to the Loan Account shall thereupon constitute Revolving Loans hereunder, shall constitute Obligations hereunder, and shall initially accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans (unless and until converted into ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

(e) Computation. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed, other than for Base Rate Loans which shall be calculated on the basis of 365 or 366 day year, as applicable, and actual days elapsed. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate.

(f) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrower and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if such rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrower shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum amount as is allowed by law, and payment received from Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.

(g) Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Parent Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

Section 3.06 Crediting Payments. The receipt of any payment item by Administrative Agent shall not be required to be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to ~~Administrative~~ Agent’s Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by Administrative Agent only if it is received into ~~Administrative~~ Agent’s Account on a Business Day on or before 1:30 p.m. If any payment item is received into ~~Administrative~~ Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 1:30 p.m. on a Business Day (unless Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, elects to credit it on the date received), it shall be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.

Section 3.07 Designated Account. Administrative Agent is authorized to make the Revolving Loans, and Issuing Bank is authorized to issue the Letters of Credit, under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Officer or, without instructions, if pursuant to Section 3.05(d). Borrower agrees to establish and maintain the Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Revolving Loans requested by Borrower and made by Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent and Borrower, any Revolving Loan or Swing Loan requested by Borrower and made by Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account.

Section 3.08 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations. Administrative Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrower (the “Loan Account”) on which Borrower will be charged with all Revolving Loans (including Extraordinary Advances and Swing Loans) made by Administrative Agent, Swing Lender, or the Lenders to Borrower or for Borrower’s account, the Letters of Credit issued or arranged by Issuing Bank for Borrower’s account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses. In accordance with Section 3.06, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by Administrative Agent from Borrower or for Borrower’s account. Administrative Agent shall make available to Borrower monthly statements regarding the Loan Account, including the principal amount of the Revolving Loans, interest accrued hereunder, fees accrued or charged hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and a summary itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses accrued hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and each such statement, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrower and the Lender Group unless, within 30 days after Administrative Agent first makes such a statement available to Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in such statement.

Section 3.09 Fees.

(a) Administrative Agent Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Administrative Agent, as and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

(b) Unused Line Fee. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Revolving Lenders, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) in an amount equal to either (x) if the Average Revolver Usage for the immediately preceding quarter exceeds 50% of the Maximum Revolver Amount, 0.250% per annum or (y) otherwise 0.375% (provided that, for the period from the Closing Date through and including March 31, 2018, such percentage shall be set at 0.375% notwithstanding such Average Revolver Usage) per annum, times the result of (i) the aggregate amount of Revolver Commitments, less (ii) the average amount of the Revolver Usage during the immediately preceding month (or portion thereof), which Unused Line Fee shall be due and payable on the first day of each quarter.

(c) Field Examination and Other Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, field examination, appraisal, and valuation fees and charges, as and when incurred or chargeable, as follows (i) a fee of $1,000 per day, per examiner, plus out-of-pocket expenses (including travel, meals, and lodging) for each field examination of Borrower performed by personnel employed by Administrative Agent, and (ii) the fees or charges paid or incurred by Administrative Agent (but, in any event, no less than a charge of $1,000 per day, per Person, plus out-of-pocket expenses

(including travel, meals, and lodging)) if it elects to employ the services of one or more third Persons to perform field examinations of Borrower or its Subsidiaries, to establish electronic collateral reporting systems, to appraise the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or to assess Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ business valuation; provided, that so long as no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse Administrative Agent for more than one (1) field examination and one (1) appraisal of the Collateral in each consecutive twelve-month period after the date of this Agreement; provided further, that Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse Administrative Agent for one (1) additional field examination and one (1) additional appraisal of the Collateral for any consecutive twelve month period during which Excess Availability has been less than the greater of $7,5000,000 and 15.0% of the Line Cap for more than five consecutive Business Days.

Section 3.10 Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of Borrower made in accordance herewith, and prior to the Maturity Date, Issuing Bank agrees to issue a requested Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower. By submitting a request to Issuing Bank for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Issuing Bank issue the requested Letter of Credit. Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be irrevocable and shall be made in writing by an Authorized Officer and delivered to Issuing Bank via telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission reasonably acceptable to Issuing Bank and reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension. Each such request shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Issuing Bank and (i) shall specify (A) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (B) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit, (C) the proposed expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit, and (E) such other information (including, the conditions to drawing, and, in the case of an amendment, renewal, or extension, identification of the Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed, or extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such Letter of Credit, and (ii) shall be accompanied by such Issuer Documents as Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank may request or require, to the extent that such requests or requirements are consistent with the Issuer Documents that Issuing Bank generally requests for Letters of Credit in similar circumstances. Bank’s records of the content of any such request will be conclusive. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Issuing Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, issue a Letter of Credit that supports the obligations of Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries in respect of (x) a lease of real property, or (y) an employment contract.

(b) Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if any of the following would result after giving effect to the requested issuance:

(i) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $10,000,000, or

(ii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount less the outstanding amount of Revolving Loans (including Swing Loans), or

(iii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Borrowing Base at such time less the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans (inclusive of Swing Loans) at such time.

(c) In the event there is a Defaulting Lender as of the date of any request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue or arrange for such Letter of Credit to the extent (i) the Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit may not be reallocated pursuant to Section 3.02(g)(ii), or (ii) the Issuing Bank has not otherwise entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and Borrower to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in such Letter of Credit of the Defaulting Lender, which arrangements may include Borrower cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure in accordance with Section 3.02(g)(ii). Additionally, Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if (A) any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall, by its terms, purport to enjoin or restrain Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over Issuing Bank shall prohibit or request that Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, or (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.

(d) Any Issuing Bank (other than Wells Fargo or any of its Affiliates) shall notify Administrative Agent in writing no later than the Business Day immediately following the Business Day on which such Issuing Bank issued any Letter of Credit; provided that (i) until Administrative Agent advises any such Issuing Bank that the provisions of Section 6.02 are not satisfied, or (ii) unless the aggregate amount of the Letters of Credit issued in any such week exceeds such amount as shall be agreed by Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall be required to so notify Administrative Agent in writing only once each week of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the immediately preceding week as well as the daily amounts outstanding for the prior week, such notice to be furnished on such day of the week as Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank may agree. Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Issuing Bank, including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If Issuing Bank makes a payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement on the Business Day such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder (notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in Article VI) and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. If a Letter of Credit Disbursement is deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder, Borrower’s obligation to pay

the amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement to Issuing Bank shall be automatically converted into an obligation to pay the resulting Revolving Loan. Promptly following receipt by Administrative Agent of any payment from Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 3.10(e) to reimburse Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

(e) Promptly following receipt of a notice of a Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to Section 3.10(d), each Revolving Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loan deemed made pursuant to Section 3.10(d) on the same terms and conditions as if Borrower had requested the amount thereof as a Revolving Loan and Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment, renewal, or extension of a Letter of Credit) and without any further action on the part of Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have granted to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit issued by Issuing Bank, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Letter of Credit, and each such Revolving Lender agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 3.10(d), or of any reimbursement payment that is required to be refunded (or that Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank elects, based upon the advice of counsel, to refund) to Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Administrative Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to this Section 3.10(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Article VI. If any such Revolving Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in this Section, such Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent (for the account of Issuing Bank) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.

(f) Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member of the Lender Group (including Issuing Bank and its branches, Affiliates, and correspondents) and each such Person’s respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (each, including Issuing Bank, a “Letter of Credit Related Person”) (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all

other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and Withholding Taxes irrespective of whether suit is brought), which may be incurred by or awarded against any such Letter of Credit Related Person (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 3.15) (the “Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs”), and which arise out of or in connection with, or as a result of:

(i) any Letter of Credit or any pre-advice of its issuance;

(ii) any transfer, sale, delivery, surrender or endorsement of any Drawing Document at any time(s) held by any such Letter of Credit Related Person in connection with any Letter of Credit;

(iii) any action or proceeding arising out of, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit (whether administrative, judicial or in connection with arbitration), including any action or proceeding to compel or restrain any presentation or payment under any Letter of Credit, or for the wrongful dishonor of, or honoring a presentation under, any Letter of Credit;

(iv) any independent undertakings issued by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit;

(v) any unauthorized instruction or request made to Issuing Bank in connection with any Letter of Credit or requested Letter of Credit or error in computer or electronic transmission;

(vi) an adviser, confirmer or other nominated person seeking to be reimbursed, indemnified or compensated;

(vii) any third party seeking to enforce the rights of an applicant, beneficiary, nominated person, transferee, assignee of Letter of Credit proceeds or holder of an instrument or document;

(viii) (I) the fraud, forgery or illegal action of parties other than the Letter of Credit Related Person or (II) any prohibition on payment or delay in payment of any amount payable by Issuing ~~Lender~~Bank to a beneficiary or transferee beneficiary of a Letter of Credit arising out of Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws, or Sanctions;

(ix) Issuing Bank’s performance of the obligations of a confirming institution or entity that wrongfully dishonors a confirmation; or

(x) the acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto governmental or regulatory authority or cause or event beyond the control of the Letter of Credit Related Person; in each case, including that resulting from the Letter of Credit Related Person’s own negligence; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnification under clauses (i)

through (x) above to the extent that such Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity. Borrower hereby agree to pay the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity on demand from time to time all amounts owing under this Section 3.10(f). If and to the extent that the obligations of Borrower under this Section 3.10(f) are unenforceable for any reason, Borrower agree to make the maximum contribution to the Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs permissible under applicable law. This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and all Letters of Credit.

(g) The liability of Issuing Bank (or any other Letter of Credit Related Person) 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 Borrower that are caused directly by Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct 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 Drawing Documents presented under a Letter of Credit. Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have acted with due diligence and reasonable care if Issuing Bank’s conduct is in accordance with Standard Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement. Borrower’s aggregate remedies against Issuing Bank and any Letter of Credit Related Person 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 Borrower to Issuing Bank in respect of the honored presentation in connection with such Letter of Credit under Section 3.10(d), plus interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. Borrower shall take action to avoid and mitigate the amount of any damages claimed against Issuing Bank or any other Letter of Credit Related Person, including by enforcing its rights against the beneficiaries of the Letters of Credit. Any claim by Borrower under or in connection with any Letter of Credit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amount (if any) saved by Borrower as a result of the breach or alleged wrongful conduct complained of; and (y) the amount (if any) of the loss that would have been avoided had Borrower taken all reasonable steps to mitigate any loss, and in case of a claim of wrongful dishonor, by specifically and timely authorizing Issuing Bank to effect a cure.

(h) Borrower is responsible for preparing or approving the final text of the Letter of Credit as issued by Issuing Bank, irrespective of any assistance Issuing Bank may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by Issuing Bank’s use or refusal to use text submitted by Borrower. Borrower are solely responsible for the suitability of the Letter of Credit for Borrower’s purposes. With respect to any Letter of Credit containing an “automatic amendment” to extend the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, may give notice of nonrenewal of such Letter of Credit and, if Borrower do not at any time want such Letter of Credit to be renewed, Borrower will so notify Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank at least 15 calendar days before Issuing Bank is required to notify the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such nonrenewal pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(i) Borrower’s reimbursement and payment obligations under this Section 3.10 are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including:

(i) any lack of validity, enforceability or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement or any term or provision therein or herein;

(ii) payment against presentation of any draft, demand or claim for payment under any Drawing Document that does not comply in whole or in part with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit or which proves to be fraudulent, forged or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or which is signed, issued or presented by a Person or a transferee of such Person purporting to be a successor or transferee of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit;

(iii) Issuing Bank or any of its branches or Affiliates being the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit;

(iv) Issuing Bank or any correspondent honoring a drawing against a Drawing Document up to the amount available under any Letter of Credit even if such Drawing Document claims an amount in excess of the amount available under the Letter of Credit;

(v) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary, any assignee of proceeds, Issuing Bank or any other Person;

(vi) any other event, circumstance or conduct whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing that might, but for this Section 3.10(i), constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ reimbursement and other payment obligations and liabilities, arising under, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit, whether against Issuing Bank, the beneficiary or any other Person; or

(vii) the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, however, that subject to Section 3.10(g) above, the foregoing shall not release Issuing Bank from such liability to Borrower as may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction against Issuing Bank following reimbursement or payment of the obligations and liabilities, including reimbursement and other payment obligations, of Borrower to Issuing Bank arising under, or in connection with, this Section 3.10 or any Letter of Credit.

100

(j) Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, Issuing Bank and each other Letter of Credit Related Person (if applicable) shall not be responsible to Borrower for, and Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against Borrower and the obligation of Borrower to reimburse Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit shall not be impaired by:

(i) honor of a presentation under any Letter of Credit that on its face substantially complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, even if the Letter of Credit requires strict compliance by the beneficiary;

(ii) honor of a presentation of any Drawing Document that appears on its face to have been signed, presented or issued (A) by any purported successor or transferee of any beneficiary or other Person required to sign, present or issue such Drawing Document or (B) under a new name of the beneficiary;

(iii) acceptance as a draft of any written or electronic demand or request for payment under a Letter of Credit, even if nonnegotiable or not in the form of a draft or notwithstanding any requirement that such draft, demand or request bear any or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit;

(iv) the identity or authority of any presenter or signer of any Drawing Document or the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Drawing Document (other than Issuing Bank’s determination that such Drawing Document appears on its face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit);

(v) acting upon any instruction or request relative to a Letter of Credit or requested Letter of Credit that Issuing Bank in good faith believes to have been given by a Person authorized to give such instruction or request;

(vi) any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any message, advice or document (regardless of how sent or transmitted) or for errors in interpretation of technical terms or in translation or any delay in giving or failing to give notice to Borrower;

(vii) any acts, omissions or fraud by, or the insolvency of, any beneficiary, any nominated person or entity or any other Person or any breach of contract between any beneficiary and Borrower or any of the parties to the underlying transaction to which the Letter of Credit relates;

(viii) assertion or waiver of any provision of the ISP or UCP that primarily benefits an issuer of a letter of credit, including any requirement that any Drawing Document be presented to it at a particular hour or place;

(ix) payment to any paying or negotiating bank (designated or permitted by the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit) claiming that it rightfully honored or is entitled to reimbursement or indemnity under Standard Letter of Credit Practice applicable to it;

101

(x) acting or failing to act as required or permitted under Standard Letter of Credit Practice applicable to where Issuing Bank has issued, confirmed, advised or negotiated such Letter of Credit, as the case may be;

(xi) honor of a presentation after the expiration date of any Letter of Credit notwithstanding that a presentation was made prior to such expiration date and dishonored by Issuing Bank if subsequently Issuing Bank or any court or other finder of fact determines such presentation should have been honored;

(xii) dishonor of any presentation that does not strictly comply or that is fraudulent, forged or otherwise not entitled to honor; or

(xiii) honor of a presentation that is subsequently determined by Issuing Bank to have been made in violation of international, federal, state or local restrictions on the transaction of business with certain prohibited Persons.

(k) Borrower shall pay immediately upon demand to Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank as non-refundable fees, commissions, and charges (it being acknowledged and agreed that any charging of such fees, commissions, and charges to the Loan Account pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.05(d) shall be deemed to constitute a demand for payment thereof for the purposes of this Section 3.10(k)): (i) a fronting fee which shall be imposed by Issuing Bank upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit of 0.125% per annum of the face amount thereof, plus (ii) any and all other customary commissions, fees and charges then in effect imposed by, and any and all expenses incurred by, Issuing Bank, or by any adviser, confirming institution or entity or other nominated person, relating to Letters of Credit, at the time of issuance of any Letter of Credit and upon the occurrence of any other activity with respect to any Letter of Credit (including transfers, assignments of proceeds, amendments, drawings, renewals or cancellations).

(l) If by reason of (x) any Change in Law, or (y) compliance by Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Board of Governors as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto):

(i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued or caused to be issued hereunder or hereby, or

(ii) there shall be imposed on Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group any other condition regarding any Letter of Credit, and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group of issuing, making, participating in, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect

102

thereof, then, and in any such case, Administrative Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrower, and Borrower shall pay within 30 days after demand therefor, such amounts as Administrative Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder; provided, that (A) Borrower shall not be required to provide any compensation pursuant to this Section 3.10(l) for any such amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which the demand for payment of such amounts is first made to Borrower, and (B) if an event or circumstance giving rise to such amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The determination by Administrative Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section 3.10(l), as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

(m) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Issuing Bank and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP and the UCP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(n) In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Section 3.10 and any provision contained in any Issuer Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 3.10 shall control and govern.

Section 3.11 ~~LIBOR~~SOFR Option.

(a) Interest and Interest Payment Dates. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate, Borrower shall have the option, subject to Section 3.11(b) below (the “~~LIBOR~~SOFR Option”) to have interest on all or a portion of the Revolving Loans be charged (whether at the time when made (unless otherwise provided herein), upon conversion from a Base Rate Loan to a ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loan, or upon continuation of a ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loan as a ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loan) at a rate of interest based upon ~~the LIBOR Rate~~Adjusted Term SOFR. Interest on ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided, that, subject to the following clauses (ii) and (iii), in the case of any Interest Period greater than 3 months in duration, interest shall be payable at 3 month intervals after the commencement of the applicable Interest Period and on the last day of such Interest Period, (ii) the date on which all or any portion of the Obligations are accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof, or (iii) the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. On the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless Borrower have properly exercised the ~~LIBOR~~SOFR Option with respect

103

thereto, the interest rate applicable to such ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the written election of Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, Borrower no longer shall have the option to request that Revolving Loans bear interest at a rate based upon ~~the LIBOR Rate~~Adjusted Term SOFR.

(b) ~~LIBOR~~SOFR Election.

(i) Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as ~~no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing~~Borrower has not received a notice from Administrative Agent (which notice Administrative Agent may elect to give or not give in its discretion unless Administrative Agent is directed to give such notice by the Required Lenders, in which case, it shall give the notice to Borrower), after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to terminate the right of Borrower to exercise the SOFR Option during the continuance of such Event of Default, elect to exercise the ~~LIBOR~~SOFR Option by notifying Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. at least 3 U.S. Government Securities Business Days’ prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the “~~LIBOR~~SOFR Deadline”). Notice of Borrower’s election of the ~~LIBOR~~SOFR Option for a permitted portion of the Revolving Loans and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to Administrative Agent of a ~~LIBOR~~SOFR Notice received by Administrative Agent before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic notice received by Administrative Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to Administrative Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Administrative Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. on the same day)SOFR Deadline. Promptly upon its receipt of each such ~~LIBOR~~SOFR Notice, Administrative Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the affected Lenders.

(ii) Each ~~LIBOR~~SOFR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower. In connection with each ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loan, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense actually incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of (A) the payment or required assignment of any principal of any ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (B) the conversion of any ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (C) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loan on the date specified in any ~~LIBOR~~SOFR Notice delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, or expenses, “Funding Losses”). A certificate of Administrative Agent or a Lender delivered to Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that Administrative Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.11 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such amount to Administrative Agent or the Lender, as applicable, within 30 days of the date of its receipt of such certificate. If a payment of a ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR

104

Loan on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period would result in a Funding Loss, Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion at the request of Borrower, hold the amount of such payment as cash collateral in support of the Obligations until the last day of such Interest Period and apply such amounts to the payment of the applicable ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loan on such last day of such Interest Period, it being agreed that Administrative Agent has no obligation to so defer the application of payments to any ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loan and that, in the event that Administrative Agent does not defer such application, Borrower shall be obligated to pay any resulting Funding Losses.

(iii) Unless Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, agrees otherwise, Borrower shall have not more than 5 ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loans in effect at any given time. Borrower may only exercise the ~~LIBOR~~SOFR Option for proposed ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loans of at least $1,000,000.

(c) Conversion; Prepayment. Borrower may convert ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans or prepay SOFR Loans at any time; provided, that in the event that ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loans are converted or prepaid on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any prepayment through the required application by Administrative Agent of any payments or proceeds of Collateral in accordance with Section 10.03(b) or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their Participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with Section 3.11(b)(ii).

(d) Special Provisions Applicable to ~~LIBOR Rate~~Adjusted Term SOFR.

(i) ~~The LIBOR Rate~~Adjusted Term SOFR may be adjusted by the Administrative Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs ~~to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs~~ (other than Taxes which shall be governed by Section 3.15), in each case, due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, ~~including~~or pursuant to any ~~Changes~~Change in Law ~~and changes~~or change in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding or maintaining loans bearing interest at ~~the LIBOR Rate~~Adjusted Term SOFR. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give ~~Borrower and~~Borrowers and the Administrative Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and the Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, ~~Borrower~~Borrowers may, by notice to such affected Lender (A) require such Lender to furnish to ~~Borrower~~Borrowers a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for adjusting ~~such LIBOR Rate~~Adjusted Term SOFR and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (B) repay the ~~LIBOR~~SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans ~~of such~~determined with reference to Term SOFR, in each case, of such Lender with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under Section 3.11(b)(ii)).

105

(ii) Subject to the provisions set forth in Section 3.11(d)(iii) below, in the event that any change in market conditions or any Change in Law shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain ~~LIBOR~~SOFR Loans (or Base Rate Loans determined with reference to Term SOFR) or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the ~~LIBOR Rate,~~Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or SOFR, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to the Administrative Agent and ~~Borrower and~~Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (y)(i) in the case of any ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, ~~the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall~~such SOFR Loans of such Lender will be deemed to behave been converted Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period of such ~~LIBOR Rate Loans, and~~SOFR Loans, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans, or immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans, and thereafter interest upon the ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans~~, and~~ ~~(z) Borrower~~ (and if applicable, without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof) and (ii) in the case of any such Base Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding and that are determined with reference to Term SOFR, interest upon the Base Rate Loans of such Lender after the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof, and (z) Borrowers shall not be entitled to elect the ~~LIBOR Option~~SOFR Option and Base Rate Loans shall not be determined with reference to the Term SOFR component thereof, in each case, until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so.

(iii) ~~Effect of~~ Benchmark ~~Transition Event~~Replacement Setting:

(A) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event ~~or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable~~, Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the ~~LIBOR Rate~~then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent and Parent Borrower shall cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy any applicable requirements under proposed or final U.S. Treasury Regulations or other Internal Revenue Service guidance such that the use of the Benchmark Replacement is not likely to result in a deemed exchange under Section 1001 of the Code. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Parent Borrower so

106

long as Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders; ~~provided~~ that, with respect to any proposed amendment containing any SOFR-Based Rate, the Lenders shall be entitled to object only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of ~~the LIBOR Rate~~a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.11(d)(iii) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(B) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make ~~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.

(C) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of (1) ~~any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and~~ ~~Benchmark Transition Start Date, (2)~~ the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (32) the effectiveness of any ~~Benchmark Replacement~~ Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Parent Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.11(d)(iii)(D) and (4y) the commencement ~~or conclusion~~ of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.11(d)(iii), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party ~~hereto~~to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.11(d)(iii).

107

(D) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (1) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (I) 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 Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (2) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (1) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(E) ~~(D)~~ Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Parent Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (1) the Parent Borrower may revoke any pending request for a ~~Borrowing~~borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of ~~LIBOR Rate~~SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, ~~Parent~~the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a ~~Borrowing~~borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (2) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. 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 the Base Rate based upon the ~~LIBOR Rate~~then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(e) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Administrative Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to ~~acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise~~ match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at ~~the LIBOR~~Adjusted Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Reference Rate.

(f) Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Sections 3.11(d)(i) and (d)(ii), Section 3.12(a), or Section 3.15 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no legal, regulatory or unreimbursed economic disadvantage (including unreimbursed costs or expenses), with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 3.11 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 3.11 and 3.15.

Section 3.12 Capital Requirements.

(a) If, after the date hereof, Issuing Bank or any Lender determines that (i) any Change in Law regarding capital or reserve requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or (ii) compliance by Issuing Bank or such Lender, or their respective parent bank holding companies, with any guideline, request or directive of any Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on Issuing Bank’s, such Lender’s, or such holding companies’ capital as a consequence of Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s commitments ~~hereunder~~ to a level below that which Issuing Bank, such Lender, or such holding companies could have achieved but for such Change in Law or compliance (taking into consideration Issuing Bank’s, such Lender’s, or such holding companies’ then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by Issuing Bank or such Lender to be material, then Issuing Bank or such Lender may notify Borrower and Administrative Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrower agree to pay Issuing Bank or such Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 30 days after presentation by Issuing Bank or such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, Issuing Bank or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of Issuing Bank or any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate Issuing Bank or a Lender pursuant to this Section for any reductions in return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that Issuing Bank or such Lender notifies Borrower of such Change in Law giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if such claim arises by reason of the Change in Law that is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the protection of Sections 3.10(l), 3.11(d), and 3.12 shall be available to Issuing Bank and each Lender (as applicable) regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, judicial ruling, judgment, guideline, treaty or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed, so long as it shall be customary for issuing banks or lenders affected thereby to comply therewith. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, neither Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.12 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of Issuing Bank or such Lender (as the case may be) to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any.

Section 3.13 Accordion.

(a) At any time after the Closing Date, and so long as no permanent reduction of the Revolver Commitments has occurred pursuant to Section 3.03(c), at the option of the Parent Borrower (but subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b) below), the Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount may be increased by an amount in the aggregate for all such increases of the Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount not to exceed $50,000,000 (each such increase, an “Increase”). Any request for an Increase shall be made in writing by the Parent Borrower to Administrative Agent and each increase shall be in an amount of at least $2,500,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (provided that, any such Increase may be in an amount equal to, in its entirety, the outstanding balance of available Increases).

(b) Each of the following shall be conditions precedent to any Increase of the Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount in connection therewith:

(i) Administrative Agent shall have obtained the commitment of one or more Lenders or other lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, Administrative Agent, each Issuing ~~Lender~~Bank and Swing Lender (such consent of each Issuing ~~Lender~~Bank and Swing Lender to be required, in each case, to the extent required under Section 12.04(a) (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) to provide the applicable Increase, and

(ii) each of the conditions precedent required by the Lenders providing such Increase shall have been satisfied.

(c) Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in this Agreement and any other Loan Document to Revolving Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include Revolving Loans made pursuant to the increased Revolver Commitments and Maximum Revolver Amount pursuant to this Section 3.13.

(d) The Revolving Loans, Revolver Commitments, and Maximum Revolver Amount established pursuant to this Section 3.13 shall constitute Revolving Loans, Revolver Commitments, and Maximum Revolver Amount under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from any guarantees and the security interests created by the Loan Documents. Borrower shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and demonstrate that the Liens and security interests granted by the Loan Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Revolver Commitments and Maximum Revolver Amount.

110

(e) Each of the Lenders having a Revolver Commitment prior to the date of any Increase (the “Pre-Increase Revolver Lenders”) shall assign to any Lender which is acquiring a new or additional Revolver Commitment on such date (the “Post-Increase Revolver Lenders”), and such Post-Increase Revolver Lenders shall purchase from each Pre-Increase Revolver Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans and participation interests in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans on the date of such Increase as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans and participation interests in Letters of Credit will be held by Pre-Increase Revolver Lenders and Post-Increase Revolver Lenders ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Share after giving effect to such increased Revolver Commitments.

Section 3.14 [Reserved].

Section 3.15 Net Payments.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 3.15(a), all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder and under any Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. All such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes with respect to such payments, unless required by applicable law. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted, the Borrower or Guarantor, if applicable, agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, such additional amounts to the recipient as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Loan Document will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Loan Document after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Indemnified Taxes (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.15(a)). As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes, but in no event later than 45 days after the date of the payment of any Taxes, the Borrower or Guarantors, if applicable, will furnish to the Administrative Agent certified copies of the receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing such payment by such Borrower or Guarantor. The Borrower or Guarantors, if applicable, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and to reimburse such Person for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes so levied or imposed (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.15(a)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority and paid by such Person, within 10 days after written demand therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower and Guarantors shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.15(a) for any Tax for which the Tax Indemnitee has received written notice from a taxing authority or has otherwise had knowledge of for more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and the reasons therefor in reasonable detail (provided that such Lender shall not be required to disclose any price sensitive information, any confidential information or any information to the extent prohibited by law or regulation) delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower or Guarantor, if applicable, shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

111

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 3.15(c), each Lender and the Administrative Agent that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or in the case of the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower) on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, two accurate, complete and executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W 9. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each, a “Foreign Lender”) agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or in the case of the Administrative Agent, to deliver to the Borrower) on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) two accurate, complete and executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W 8-ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto;

(ii) two accurate, complete and executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W 8-BEN or Form W8-BEN-E or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, certifying to such Person’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note;

(iii) two accurate, complete and executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W 8IMY, or any subsequent versions thereof of successors thereto, and all required supporting documentation (including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or W-8BEN-E), Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner); or

(iv) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code: (A) two executed certificates providing that such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code; or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, which certificates shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit I (any such certificate, a “Non-Bank Certificate”) and (B) two accurate, complete and executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W 8BEN or Form W-8BENE (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note.

112

In addition, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when a change in circumstances renders the previous certification inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate, complete and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY, Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Non-Bank Certificate, or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, as the case may be (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), in order to confirm or establish its continued entitlement to a complete exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax or backup withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, or it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (if applicable) of its legal inability to deliver any such form or certificate.

(c) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in withholding Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Term Note, then such Lender and the Administrative Agent agree, to the extent it is legally entitled, pursuant to the applicable Requirement of Law in respect of Taxes, to do so, to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent upon request such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.

(d) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.15(d), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(e) If the Borrower or any Guarantor has paid an additional amount in respect of Indemnified Taxes to the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to Section 3.15(a), paid any Other Taxes on behalf any such recipient pursuant to Section 3.15(a) or indemnified any such recipient for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 3.15(a) hereof, then such recipient shall, at the expense of Borrower, cooperate in good faith with the Borrower in filing for and seeking any refunds of such Taxes. If the Borrower or Guarantor pays any additional amount or makes any indemnity payment under this Section 3.15 to a Lender or the Administrative Agent and such Lender or the

113

Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has received any refund of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or any Guarantor (a “Refund”), such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall pay to the Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, such Refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.15 with respect to Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes giving rise to such Refund) net of all out of pocket expenses (including Taxes) in respect of such Refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority). Notwithstanding the prior two sentences, (i) any Lender or the Administrative Agent may determine, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith consistent with its policies, whether to seek a Refund; (ii) any Taxes, costs, penalties, interest or other charges that are imposed on a Lender or the Administrative Agent as a result of a disallowance or reduction of any Refund with respect to which such Lender or the Administrative Agent has made a payment to the Borrower or the Guarantor pursuant to this Section 3.15(e) (and any interest or penalties imposed thereon) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Borrower or a Guarantor, as the case may be, is obligated to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.15 without any exclusions or defenses; (ii) nothing in this Section 3.15(e) shall require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to disclose or make available any confidential information to the Borrower or the Guarantor (including, without limitation, its tax returns); (iii) no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 3.15(e) at any time which an Event of Default exists (provided that such amounts shall be credited against amounts otherwise owed under this Agreement by the Borrower or a Guarantor); and (iv) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.15(e), in no event will the Lender or Administrative Agent be required to pay any amount to the Borrower or Guarantor the payment of which would place the Lender or Administrative Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender or Administrative Agent would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.

Section 3.16 Replacement of Lenders; Defaulting Lenders.

(a) (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.12 or Section 3.15 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement that requires the consent of each Lender or each directly and adversely affected Lender which has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 12.12(a), the Borrower shall have the right, (I) to terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date or (II) in accordance with Section 12.04 to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Assignees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (to the extent the Administrative Agent’s consent would be required under Section 12.04); provided that:

114

(i) in the case of clause (II) above, at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 3.16, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumptions pursuant to Section 12.04 (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 12.04 to be paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Replaced Lender (as may be agreed to at such time by and among the Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Replaced Lender)) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender; and

(ii) all obligations of the Borrower then owing to the Replaced Lender shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

(b) Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 3.16, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) and is authorized (which authorization is coupled with an interest) to execute an Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 3.16 and Section 12.04. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.15, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 3.11, 3.12, 3.15, 11.06, 12.01 and 12.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. In the case of the substitution of a Lender pursuant to this Section, if the Lender being replaced does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (x) the date on which the Replacement Lender executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation and (y) the date as of which all obligations of the borrower required to be paid to the Replaced Lender pursuant to this Section, then the Replaced Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Administrative Agent and Borrower shall each be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Replaced Lender.

Section 3.17 Joint and Several Liability of the Borrower.

(a) Each Person that is a Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lender Group under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Person that is a Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of each other Person that is a Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.

115

(b) Each Person that is a Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with each other Person that is a Borrower, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including any Obligations arising under this Section 3.17), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Person that is a Borrower without preferences or distinction among them. Accordingly, each Person that is a Borrower hereby waives any and all suretyship defenses that would otherwise be available to such Person under applicable law.

(c) If and to the extent that any Person that is a Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration, or otherwise, or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event each other Person that is a Borrower will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligations until such time as all of the Obligations are paid in full, and without the need for demand, protest, or any other notice or formality.

(d) The Obligations of each Person that is a Borrower under the provisions of this Section 3.17 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Person that is a Borrower enforceable against each Person that is a Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement (other than this Section 3.17(d)) or any other circumstances whatsoever.

(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Person that is a Borrower hereby waives presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Revolving Loans or any Letters of Credit issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Agreement, notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional Obligations or other financial accommodations or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by Administrative Agent or Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any right to proceed against any other Person that is a Borrower or any other Person, to proceed against or exhaust any security held from any other Person that is a Borrower or any other Person, to protect, secure, perfect, or insure any security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against any other Person that is a Borrower, any other Person, or any collateral, to pursue any other remedy in any member of the Lender Group’s or any Bank Product Provider’s power whatsoever, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by

116

applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement), any right to assert against any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider, any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which each Person that is a Borrower may now or at any time hereafter have against any other Person that is a Borrower or any other party liable to any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider, any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Obligations or any security therefor, and any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider including any defense based upon an impairment or elimination of such Person’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity of such Person against any other Person that is a Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Person that is a Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by Administrative Agent or Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by any Person that is a Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by Administrative Agent or Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Person that is a Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Person that is a Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of any Administrative Agent or Lender with respect to the failure by any Person that is a Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 3.17 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Person that is a Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 3.17, it being the intention of each Person that is a Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of each Person that is a Borrower under this Section 3.17 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Person that is a Borrower under this Section 3.17 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any other Person that is a Borrower or any Administrative Agent or Lender. Each Person that is a Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof. Any payment by any Person that is a Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Person that is a Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Person that is a Borrower. Each Person that is a Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Person that is a Borrower or any other Person, other than payment of the Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising

117

out of the disability of any Person that is a Borrower or any other Person, or the validity, legality, or unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Person that is a Borrower other than payment of the Obligations to the extent of such payment. Collateral Agent may, at the election of the Required Lenders, foreclose upon any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales or other dispositions, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable or otherwise fails to comply with applicable law or may exercise any other right or remedy Administrative Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider may have against any Person that is a Borrower or any other Person, or any security, in each case, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Person that is a Borrower hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid.

(f) Each Person that is a Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Lenders that such Person is currently informed of the financial condition of each Person that is a Borrower and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Person that is a Borrower further represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Lenders that such Person has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Person that is a Borrower hereby covenants that such Person will continue to keep informed of the financial condition of each other Person that is a Borrower and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.

(g) The provisions of this Section 3.17 are made for the benefit of Administrative Agent, each member of the Lender Group, each Bank Product Provider, and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or each Person that is a Borrower as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of Administrative Agent, any member of the Lender Group, any Bank Product Provider, or any of their successors or assigns first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Person that is a Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any Person that is a Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 3.17 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Person that is a Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 3.17 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

118

(h) Each Person that is a Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the provisions of this Section 3.17, including rights of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Administrative Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider against any Person that is a Borrower, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any Person that is a Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Person that is a Borrower may have against any other Person that is a Borrower with respect to any payments to any Administrative Agent or any member of the Lender Group hereunder or under any of the Bank Product Agreements are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Person that is a Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Person that is a Borrower therefor. If any amount shall be paid to any Person that is a Borrower in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, and shall forthwith be paid to Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Obligations or other amounts payable under this Agreement thereafter arising. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Person that is a Borrower may exercise any rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights against, and may not proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of, any other Person that is a Borrower (the “Foreclosed Borrower”), including after payment in full of the Obligations, if all or any portion of the Obligations have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Equity Interests of such Foreclosed Borrower whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

(i) Each Person that is a Borrower hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, each Person that is a Borrower shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing such Person’s right to proceed against any other Loan Party. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction, each Person that is a Borrower hereby waives until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full:

Section 7.11 Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, on the date of such designation, all representations and warranties herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any “materiality” qualifiers set forth therein) with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such designation (both before and after giving effect thereto), unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (v) the status of any such Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall at all times be the same under this Agreement, the First Lien Term Loan Documents and the Second Lien Loan Documents. The designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date shall constitute an Investment (in a non Subsidiary) by the applicable Loan Party and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the respective Subsidiary at the time that such Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation shall be permitted only to the extent such Investment is permitted under Section 8.06 on the date of such designation. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute (x) the incurrence at the time of designation of any Investment, Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time, and (y) a return on any Investment by the applicable Loan Party in Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the preceding sentence in an amount equal to the fair market value at the date of such designation of such Loan Party’s Investment in such Subsidiary and such designation shall be permitted only to the extent such Investment is permitted under Sections 8.01, 8.02 and 8.06 on the date of such designation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Borrower nor Holdings shall be permitted to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Any Subsidiary Designation by the board of directors of Holdings shall be evidenced to the Administrative Agent by promptly filing with the Administrative Agent a copy of the resolution of the board of directors of Holdings giving effect to such designation and a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower certifying that such designation complied with the foregoing provisions, and containing the calculations of compliance (in reasonable detail) with preceding clause (ii).

Neither Holdings nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will produce, process, manufacture, generate, use, treat, store, Release or dispose of, or permit the production, processing, manufacture, generation, use, treatment, storage, Release or disposal of Materials of Environmental Concern on any Real Property now or hereafter owned, leased or operated by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or transport of Materials of Environmental Concern to or from any such Real Property, except for such generation, use, treatment, storage, Release, disposal, or transport as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

150

(b) (i) After the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any notice of the type described in Section 7.07(f), (ii) after 30 days have passed since receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent or any Lender that the Administrative Agent or any Lender reasonably believes that Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries are not in compliance with Section 7.13(a) and such non compliance has not been corrected, or (iii) in the event that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders have exercised any of the remedies pursuant to Article X, Holdings will (in each case) provide, at the sole expense of the Borrower and at the written request of the Administrative Agent, a Phase I environmental site assessment report concerning any such related Mortgaged Property, prepared by an environmental consulting firm reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent indicating, where relevant, the presence or absence of Materials of Environmental Concern and the likely cost of any removal or remedial action in connection with such Materials of Environmental Concern on such Mortgaged Property. If the Borrower fails to provide the same within 45 days after such request was made, the Administrative Agent may order the same, the cost of which shall be borne by the Borrower, and the Borrower shall grant to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective agents reasonable access to such related Mortgaged Property to undertake such an assessment at any reasonable time upon reasonable written notice to Holdings, all at the sole expense of the Borrower.

Section 7.14 Post-Closing Deliveries. The Borrower hereby agrees to deliver to Administrative Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, the items described on Schedule 7.14 hereof on or before the dates specified with respect to such items, or such later dates as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing (and to permit the taking of the actions described above within the time periods required above and in Schedule 7.14, rather than as elsewhere provided in the Loan Documents), provided that (x) to the extent any representation and warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken on the Closing Date, the respective representation and warranty shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects at the time the respective action is taken (or was required to be taken) in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.14 (and Schedule 7.14) and (y) all representations and warranties relating to the Security Documents shall be required to be true in all material respects immediately after the actions required to be taken by this Section 7.14 (and Schedule 7.14) have been taken (or were required to be taken).

Upon request of the Administrative Agent, hold up to one telephonic meetings via conference call per fiscal year to review the Company’s consolidated financial results and financial condition, the first to occur within 20 Business Days of each Excess Cash Flow Application Date (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Excess Cash Flow Application Date that would occur in 2019 if a prepayment were to be required under Section 4.02(b) of the First Lien Credit Agreement for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018) (or such later date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent).

151

Section 7.16 Cash Management. Within 180 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as Well Fargo may agree in its sole discretion), each Loan Party shall establish their primary depository and management relationships with Wells Fargo or one of its Affiliates and thereafter for so long as Wells Fargo is a Lender hereunder each Loan Party shall maintain such relationships with Wells Fargo.

ARTICLE IX

GUARANTEE

Section 9.01 The Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not as a surety, to each Secured Party and their respective successors and permitted assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of (1) the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law of any other jurisdiction) on (i) the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower, and (ii) the Notes held by each Lender of the Borrower and (2) all other Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by the Loan Parties (such obligations being herein called the “Guaranteed Obligations”; provided, that Guaranteed Obligations shall exclude all Excluded Swap Obligations). Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally agrees that, if the Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, such Guarantor will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

Section 9.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 9.01, respectively, shall constitute a guarantee of payment (and not of collection) and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety by any Guarantor, as applicable (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall, in each case, remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

181

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(d) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of any Lender or the Collateral Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or

(e) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 9.08, or otherwise.

Each of the Guarantors hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each of the Guarantors waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this guarantee made under this Article IX (this “Guarantee”) or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by the Secured Parties and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrower or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the applicable Lenders, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.

Section 9.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IX shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

182

Section 9.04 No Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the Termination Date it shall subordinate any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 9.01, whether by subrogation, right of contribution or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 9.05 Remedies. Each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article X (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article X) for purposes of Section 9.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower or any Guarantor and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable, or the circumstances occurring where Article X provides that such obligations shall become due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 9.01.

Section 9.06 Continuing Guarantee. The Guarantee made by the Guarantors in this Article IX is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

Section 9.07 General Limitation on Guaranteed Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any federal, state, provincial or territorial, corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 9.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 9.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability of such Guarantor shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 9.09) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding and would not constitute fraudulent conveyance.

The Guarantors confirm that it is the intention that this Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Debtor Relief Laws, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state or foreign law to the extent applicable to the obligations set forth herein.

183

Section 9.08 Release of Subsidiary Guarantors and Pledges.

(a) A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder in the event that (i) it shall become an Excluded Subsidiary (for the avoidance of doubt, such entity shall not be released from its obligations as a “Borrower” if it becomes a Borrower); provided that no such release shall occur if a Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of such Person ceasing to be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary to the extent the primary purpose (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) of such event or result was to release such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents or (ii) upon the designation of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Immaterial Subsidiary. In addition, each Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder (including the Guaranteed Obligations) on the Termination Date. In connection with any such release of a Guarantor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to such Guarantor, at such Guarantor’s expense, all UCC termination statements and other documents that such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

(b) If (x) any voting Capital Stock issued by any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary described in clause (i) of the definition of Excluded Foreign Subsidiary is redeemed by such Excluded Foreign Subsidiary, (y) the Borrower provides written notice to the Administrative Agent that the Borrower has determined in accordance with clause (i) of the definition of “Excluded Foreign Subsidiary” that a Subsidiary has become an Excluded Foreign Subsidiary described in such clause (i), or (z) the Borrower provides written notice to the Administrative Agent that a Foreign Subsidiary or a FSHCO has ceased to be an Excluded Foreign Subsidiary described in clause (i) of the definition of “Excluded Foreign Subsidiary” and has become an Excluded Foreign Subsidiary described in clause (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Excluded Foreign Subsidiary, then such shares of the relevant issuer shall be automatically and without further action released from the security interests created by this Agreement so that the shares of voting Capital Stock of such Subsidiary subject to the security interests created by this Agreement shall not include more than 65% of the total outstanding voting Capital Stock of any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary described in clause (i) of the definition of Excluded Foreign Subsidiary or at any time include any shares of Capital Stock of any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary described in clause (ii) or clause (iii) of the definition of Excluded Foreign Subsidiary and any certificates representing such released Capital Stock shall be returned to the applicable grantor.

Section 9.09 Right of Contribution. At any time a payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is made under this Guarantee, the right of contribution of each Subsidiary Guarantor against each other Subsidiary Guarantor shall be determined as provided in the immediately following sentence, with the right of contribution of each Subsidiary Guarantor to be revised and restated as of each date on which a payment is made on the Guaranteed Obligations under this Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have made payments in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations that, in the aggregate, exceed such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Subsidiary Guarantors (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”), each such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made by all Subsidiary Guarantors

184

(the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”) on the date of such payment, in an amount equal to (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount paid by all Subsidiary Guarantors, multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 9.04. The provisions of this Section 9.09 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder; provided, that no Subsidiary Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until the Termination Date, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all parties hereto that any Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution arising under this Section 9.09 against any other Subsidiary Guarantor shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the Obligations and any other obligations owing under this Guarantee. As used in this Section 9.09: (i) each Subsidiary Guarantor’s “Contribution Percentage” shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) Adjusted Net Worth (as defined below) of such Subsidiary Guarantor by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all Subsidiary Guarantors; (ii) the “Adjusted Net Worth” of each Subsidiary Guarantor shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth (as defined below) of such Subsidiary Guarantor and (y) zero; and (iii) the “Net Worth” of each Subsidiary Guarantor shall mean the amount by which the fair saleable value of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s assets on the date of any payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising under this Guarantee) on such date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Subsidiary Guarantor that is released from this Guarantee pursuant to Section 9.08 hereof shall thereafter have no contribution obligations, or rights, pursuant to this Section 9.09, and at the time of any such release, if the released Subsidiary Guarantor had an Aggregate Excess Amount or an Aggregate Deficit Amount, same shall be deemed reduced to $0, and the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining Subsidiary Guarantors shall be recalculated on the respective date of releases (as otherwise provided above) based on the payments made hereunder by the remaining Subsidiary Guarantors.

Section 9.10 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guarantee in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 9.10 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 9.10, or otherwise under this Guarantee, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 9.10 constitute, and this Section 9.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

192

Section 10.04 Right to Cure.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in clause (e) below, Borrower may cure (and shall be deemed to have cured) an Event of Default arising out of a breach of any of the financial covenant set forth in Section 8.13 (the “Specified Financial Covenants”) if they receive the cash proceeds of an investment of Curative Equity within 15 Business Days after the date on which the Specified Financial Covenants are first required to be tested pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b) Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of its receipt of any proceeds of Curative Equity.

(c) Any investment of Curative Equity shall be in immediately available funds and, subject to the limitations set forth in clause (e) below, shall be in an amount that is sufficient to cure the Event of Default arising out of a breach of the Specified Financial Covenant.

(d) Upon delivery of a certificate by Borrower to Administrative Agent as to the amount of the proceeds of such Curative Equity and that such amount (i) has been applied in accordance with clause (b) above, and (ii) is in an amount equal to or greater than the amount required by clause (c) above, then any Event of Default that occurred and is continuing from a breach of any of the Specified Financial Covenant shall be deemed cured with no further action required by the Required Lenders. If notice has been delivered to the Administrative Agent of the intent to make an investment of Curative Equity (such notice to be delivered on or prior to the date on which the applicable financial statements are required to be delivered and containing reasonable detail on the terms and conditions of the Curative Equity), then from the last day of the fiscal quarter related to such cure notice until the earlier to occur of the required date for receipt of the Curative Equity and the date on which the Administrative Agent is notified that the Curative Equity will not be made, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender may exercise any rights or remedies under Section 10.02, provided, that an Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing and the Lenders (including the Swing Lender and the Issuing Bank) shall have no obligation to make additional loans or otherwise extend additional credit hereunder during such period. In the event Borrower does not cure all financial covenant violations as provided in this Section 10.04, the existing Event(s) of Default shall continue unless waived in writing by the Required Lenders in accordance herewith.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing or this Agreement, (i) Borrower’s rights under this Section 10.04 may (A) be exercised not more than 5 times during the term of this Agreement and (B) in each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which no cure under this Section 10.04 is made, (ii) the Curative Equity contributed in any fiscal quarter shall be no greater than the amount required to cause Borrower to be in compliance with the Specified Financial Covenants as at the end of such fiscal quarter, and (iii) the Curative Equity shall be disregarded for purposes of determining EBITDA for any pricing, financial covenant based conditions or any baskets with respect to the covenants

193

contained in this Agreement and there shall be no pro forma reduction in Indebtedness with the proceeds of any Curative Equity for determining compliance with the Specified Financial Covenants or for determining any pricing, financial covenant based conditions or baskets with respect to the covenants contained in this Agreement, in each case in the quarter in which such Curative Equity is used, unless such proceeds are actually applied to repay the First Lien Term Loans or Second Lien Term Loans in which case Indebtedness shall be deemed to be reduced in the fiscal quarter following the fiscal quarter for which such Curative Equity was contributed.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.10.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 11.10 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders arising from such acts, if any, or for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Section 11.11 Delivery of Information. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Administrative Agent from any Loan Party, any Subsidiary, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

Section 11.12 Withholding. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any withholding Tax applicable to such payment. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without a deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any and all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred, unless such amounts have been indemnified by the Borrower, any Guarantor or the relevant Lender.

Section 11.13 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file a verified statement pursuant to Rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such Rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;

(b) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans 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 and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 3.09(a) or Section 12.01) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(c) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 3.09(a) or Section 12.01.

200

To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent under Section 3.09(a) or Section 12.01 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

None of the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Indemnified Person shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential (including lost profits) damages in connection with this Agreement, the

202

Transaction, the Facility, the Closing Date Commitment Letter or the use of proceeds therefrom; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the indemnity and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 12.01 of any Loan Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. For clarity, the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Section 12.01 shall include the Administrative Agent acting in its capacity as Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents. To the full extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Indemnified Person shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person or any other Person party hereto or their respective Affiliates, on any theory of liability for special, indirect, consequential (including lost profits), exemplary, punitive or incidental damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the indemnity and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 12.01 of any Loan Party. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent the liability of such Indemnified Person results from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non appealable decision).

No Loan Party, Permitted Holder nor any of their respective Affiliates will, without the prior consent of the relevant Indemnified Person, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be south pursuant to this Section 12.01 (irrespective of whether such Indemnified Person is party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (a) includes an unconditional release of each relevant Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of or directly and indirectly relating thereto and (b) does not include a statement as to the admission, fault or culpability or failure to act by such Indemnified Person.

Section 12.02 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Loan Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Loan Parties to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender

203

pursuant to Section 12.04, and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 12.02 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.06(b) as though it were a Lender.

Section 12.03 Notices.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telecopier or cable communication or other electronic communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, cabled or delivered: if to any Loan Party, at the address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant Loan Documents; if to any Lender, at its address specified on Schedule II or on the applicable Assignment and Assumption; and if to the Administrative Agent, at the Notice Office; or, as to any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, e-mailed or cabled or sent by overnight courier, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company, cable company or overnight courier, as the case may be, or sent by telecopier, except that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as the case may be.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. Each of the Administrative Agent, Holdings and 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.

Section 12.04 ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS.

(a) Assignments and Participations.

(i) (a) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (a)(i)(B) below, any Lender may assign and delegate all or any portion of its rights and duties under the Loan Documents (including the Obligations owed to it and its Commitments) to one or more assignees so long as such prospective assignee is an Eligible Assignee (each an “Assignee”), with the prior written consent (such consent not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

204

a. Borrower; provided, that no consent of Borrower shall be required (1) if a Significant Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (2) in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate (other than natural persons) of a Lender; provided further, except with respect to consents regarding Disqualified Lenders, that Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to a proposed assignment unless they object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

c. each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,

d. the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption; provided, that Borrower and Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Borrower and Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Assignee,

205

e. unless waived by Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender or Assignee has paid to Administrative Agent, for Administrative Agent’s separate account, a processing fee in the amount of $3,500, and

f. the Assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in a form approved by Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”).

(ii) From and after the date that Administrative Agent receives the executed Assignment and Assumption and, if applicable, payment of the required processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, shall be a “Lender” and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section 11.06) and be released from any future obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto); provided, that nothing contained herein shall release any assigning Lender from obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Article XI and Section 12.16(a).

(iii) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Assumption, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or the performance or observance by Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption, (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Administrative Agent, by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

206

(iv) Immediately upon Administrative Agent’s receipt of the required processing fee, if applicable, and delivery of notice to the assigning Lender pursuant to Section 12.04(a)(ii), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.

(v) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons (a “Participant”) participating interests in all or any portion of its Obligations, its Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, that (i) the Originating Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender hereunder shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender (other than a waiver of default interest), or (E) decreases the amount or postpones the due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments or premiums payable to such Participant through such Lender, (v) no participation shall be sold to a natural person, (vi) no participation shall be sold to a Loan Party, an Affiliate of a Loan Party, or any Sponsor Affiliated Entity or a Disqualified Lender, a Competitor or a natural person, and (vii) all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of

207

any Participant only shall be derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other Lenders, Administrative Agent, Borrower, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of decisions by the Lenders among themselves.

(vi) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 12.16, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses.

(vii) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.24, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.

(viii) Administrative Agent (as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrower) shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register (the “Register”) on which it enters the name and address of each Lender as the registered owner of the Revolving Loan (and the principal amount thereof and stated interest thereon) held by such Lender (each, a “Registered Loan”). Other than in connection with an assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its portion of the Revolving Loan to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender (i) a Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide) and (ii) any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any evidencing the same), Borrower shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In the case of any assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its Revolving Loan to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender, and which assignment is not recorded in the Register, the assigning Lender, on behalf of Borrower, shall maintain a register comparable to the Register.

208

(ix) In the event that a Lender sells participations in the Registered Loan, such Lender, as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrower, shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it (and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of such Registered Loans that is subject to such participations) (the “Participant Register”). A Registered Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register.

(x) Administrative Agent shall make a copy of the Register (and each Lender shall make a copy of its Participant Register in the extent it has one) available for review by Borrower from time to time as Borrower may reasonably request.

(b) Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, that no Borrower may assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Lenders’ prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the Lenders shall release Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section 12.04 and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 12.04, no consent or approval by Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment.

Section 12.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Loan Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

209

Section 12.06 Payments Pro Rata.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata (or in accordance with the Security Documents, as applicable) based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Loan Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 12.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement which (i) require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders and (ii) permit disproportionate payments with respect to the Loans as, and to the extent, provided herein.

Section 12.07 Calculations; Computations.

(a) All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein.

(b) If at any time any change in GAAP or in the application of GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or financial term or definition set forth in any Loan Document and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders) such ratio or covenant to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in (or in the application of) GAAP; provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or financial covenant made before and after giving effect to such change in (or in the application of) GAAP as is reasonably necessary to demonstrate the calculation and compliance (or non compliance) with such ratio.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) other than with respect to the delivery if financial statements pursuant to Sections 7.01(a), (b) and (c), (x) the consolidation of the accounts of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not include the consolidation of the accounts of any Unrestricted Subsidiary and (y) all financial calculations, definitions and computations shall made without the inclusion of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, for such purposes deeming any Unrestricted Subsidiary as not existing at the time any determination is made with respect to such financial calculation, definition or computation, (ii) all financial statements shall be prepared without giving effect to any election under FASB ASC 825 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities at the fair value thereof or the application of FAS 133, FAS 150 or FAS 123r (to the extent that the pronouncements in FAS 123r result in recording an equity award as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in the circumstance where, but for the application of the pronouncements, such award would have been classified as equity) and (iii) to the extent expressly provided herein, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any changes in GAAP after the Closing Date that would require lease obligations that would be treated as operating leases as of the Closing Date to be classified and accounted for as Capital Lease Obligations or otherwise reflected on the consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, such obligations shall continue to be excluded from the definition of Indebtedness and Capital Lease Obligations.

(d) All computations of interest and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (except for interest calculated by reference to the Prime Lending Rate, which shall be based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or Fees are payable.

(h) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (iv), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 12.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described below, to (i) replace each such non consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 3.16 or (ii) terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date.

216

Section 12.14 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 12.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 3.12 or 3.15 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes in any applicable law, treaty, government rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the official interpretation thereof, after the date of the respective transfer).

Section 12.15 Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as its non fiduciary agent, solely for purposes of this Section 12.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record from time to time the name and address of each Lender, the Commitments, the principal amounts of the Loans and any other obligations under the Loan Documents, and the amounts of stated interest due thereon, owing to each Lender pursuant the terms hereof and any Note. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the ‘Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loans and any other obligations under the Loan Documents owing to such Lender shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans and other obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments, Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register upon and only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption pursuant to Section 12.04. Upon such acceptance and recordation, the assignee specified therein shall be treated as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assignee or transferee Lender at the request of any such Lender. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 12.15 to the same extent that the Administrative Agent is otherwise indemnified pursuant to Section 12.01. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice, provided that the information contained in the Register which is shared with each Lender (other than the Administrative Agent and its affiliates) shall be limited to the entries with respect to such Lender including the Commitment of, or principal amount of and stated interest on the Loans owing to such Lender.

217

Section 12.16 Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 12.16, each Lender agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of Holdings (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors, agents, service providers, representatives or counsel, or to another Lender if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 12.16 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 12.16(a) by the respective Lender, (ii) upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority (including, without limitation, any self-regulatory authority) having jurisdiction over such Lender or any of their affiliates (in which case the Lenders agree, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, to inform you promptly thereof prior to disclosure (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority (including, without limitation, any self-regulatory authority) or in cases where any governmental and/or regulatory authority had requested otherwise)), (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.16, (vii) to any prospective or actual transferee, pledgee or assignee under Section 12.04(c) or Participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 12.16, (viii) on a confidential basis to any rating agency in connection with any rating of the Loan Parties or the Term Facility, (ix) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans and (x) in connection with the exercise of remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. In addition, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 12.16 to the same extent as such Lender.

218

Section 12.17 Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies Holdings and Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Holdings, Borrower and the other Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Holdings, Borrower and the other Loan Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act. Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests with respect to the Loan Parties, their senior management and key principals and legal and beneficial owners, in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including the Patriot Act.

Section 12.18 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 12.19 Secured Swap Agreement and Secured Cash Management Agreements. At any time prior to or within 30 days after any Loan Party enters into any Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement, if the applicable Loan Party and counterparty desire that the monetary obligations in respect of such Swap Agreement or the Cash Management Obligations in respect of such Cash Management Agreement be treated as an “Obligation” hereunder with rights in respect of payment of proceeds of the Collateral in accordance with the waterfall provisions set forth in the applicable Security Documents, the Borrower and the counterparty to such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be, may notify the Administrative Agent in writing (to be acknowledged by the Administrative Agent (provided that the failure to provide such acknowledgement shall not affect the treatment of such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement as a “Secured Swap Agreement” or “Secured Cash Management Agreement”, as applicable)) that (x) such Swap Agreement is to be a “Secured Swap Agreement” (a “Secured Swap Agreement”) or (y) such Cash Management Agreement is to be a “Secured Cash Management Agreement” (a “Secured Cash Management Agreement”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) in the case of a Swap Agreement, such Swap Agreement is entered into with a Qualified Counterparty; and

(ii) in the case of Cash Management Agreements, such Cash Management Agreement is with a counterparty that is the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or a Lender or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or a Lender.

219

Until such time as the Borrower and the counterparty to such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be, deliver (and the Administrative Agent acknowledges (provided that the failure to provide such acknowledgement shall not affect the treatment of such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement as a “Secured Swap Agreement” or “Secured Cash Management Agreement”, as applicable)) such notice as described above, such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement shall not constitute a Secured Swap Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be. The parties hereto understand and agree that the provisions of this Section 12.19 are made for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, which become parties to Secured Swap Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements, as applicable, and agree that any amendments or modifications to the provisions of this Section 12.19 shall not be effective with respect to any Secured Swap Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be, entered into prior to the date of the respective amendment or modification of this Section 12.19 (without the written consent of the relevant parties thereto). The Administrative Agent accepts no responsibility and shall have no liability for the calculation of the exposure owing by the Loan Parties under any such Secured Swap Agreement and/or Secured Cash Management Agreement, and shall be entitled in all cases to rely on the applicable notice provided by Borrower and the applicable counterparty to such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement as set forth above. No Secured Party that obtains the benefits of the Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.

Section 12.20 Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 12.20 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

Section 12.21 Other Liens on Collateral; Terms of Intercreditor Agreements; etc.

(a) EACH LENDER HERETO UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT (I) LIENS SHALL BE CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, WHICH LIENS (X) TO THE EXTENT CREATED WITH RESPECT TO ABL PRIORITY COLLATERAL, SHALL BE JUNIOR TO THE LIENS CREATED UNDER THE FIRST LIEN TERM LOAN DOCUMENTS (PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE ABL/TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT) AND (Y) TO THE EXTENT CREATED WITH

220

RESPECT TO TERM PRIORITY COLLATERAL, SHALL BE SENIOR TO THE LIENS CREATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE ABL/TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT). THE ABL/TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ALSO HAS OTHER PROVISIONS WHICH ARE BINDING UPON THE LENDERS AND THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. PURSUANT TO THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THE ABL/TERM INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE ABL/TERM INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE ABL/TERM INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

(b) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 12.21 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE ALL RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF (A) THE ABL/TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FORM OF WHICH IS ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR (B) ANY OTHER INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, WHICH WILL BE IN THE FORM APPROVED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PERMITTED BY THIS AGREEMENT. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE ABL/TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT OR SUCH OTHER INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. EACH LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF THE ABL/TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, AND EACH OTHER INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND COLLATERAL AGENT (AND NONE OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES) MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE ABL/TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

(c) EACH SECURED PARTY, BY ITS EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACCEPTING THE BENEFIT OF THE GUARANTEE AND SECURITY DOCUMENTS, HEREBY (I) CONFIRMS ITS AGREEMENT TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 12.21, (II) PURSUANT TO THE ABL/TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THE ABL/TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AS A “ABL SECURED PARTY” AND (III) PURSUANT TO THE APPLICABLE SECTION OF EACH OTHER INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF SUCH OTHER INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AS A “SECURED PARTY” (OR EQUIVALENT TERM THEREIN).

221

Section 12.22 Press Releases.

(a) Each Secured Party (other than the Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates) agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without at least two Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent and without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless (and only to the extent that) such Secured Party or Affiliate is required to do so under applicable law and then, in any event, to the extent reasonably possible under applicable law, such Secured Party or Affiliate will consult with the Administrative Agent before issuing such press release or other public disclosure.

(b) Each Loan Party consents to the publication by any Lender of advertising material, including any “tombstone” or comparable advertising, on its website or in other marketing materials of such Lender, relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using any Loan Party’s name, product photographs, logo, trademark or other insignia; provided that any such Lender (other than the Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates) shall provide a draft reasonably in advance (and in no event, less than two Business Days’ prior written notice, with copies thereof attached to such written notice) of any advertising material to the Borrower for review and comment prior to the publication thereof and the Lenders (other than the Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates) agree not to release or publicize any such material or other information until it receives the Borrower’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

Section 12.23 No Fiduciary Duty.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”) may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Section 12.24 Bank Product Providers.

Each Bank Product Provider in its capacity as such shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom Administrative Agent is acting. Administrative Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such Bank Product Providers and, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, the applicable Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed Administrative Agent as its agent and to have accepted the benefits of the Loan Documents. It is understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to Administrative Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, shall be automatically deemed to have agreed that Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain, relax, or release reserves in respect of the Bank Product Obligations and that if reserves are established there is no obligation on the part of Administrative Agent to determine or insure whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not. In connection with any such distribution of payments or proceeds of Collateral, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due or owing to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider has provided a written certification (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) to Administrative Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to it and such written certification is received by Administrative Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any Bank Products, but may rely upon the written certification of the amount due and payable from the applicable Bank Product Provider. In the absence of an updated certification, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that the amount due and payable to the applicable Bank Product Provider is the amount last certified to Administrative Agent by such Bank Product Provider as being due and payable (less any distributions made to such Bank Product Provider on account thereof). Borrower may obtain Bank Products from any Bank Product Provider, although Borrower is not required to do so. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Bank Product Provider has committed to provide any Bank Products and that the providing of Bank Products by any Bank Product Provider is in the sole and absolute discretion of such Bank Product Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no provider or holder of any Bank Product shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required (other than in their capacities as Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or Guarantors.

223

Section 12.25 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to Bail-In Action by the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

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

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

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

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 12.26 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

~~Section 12.26~~ To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise

224

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.
