Introductory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the completion of the transactions contemplated by the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 28, 2025 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Baker Hughes Company, a Delaware corporation (“Baker Hughes”), Tango Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect subsidiary of Baker Hughes (“Merger Sub”), and Chart Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Chart”).

On July 16, 2026, Baker Hughes completed its acquisition of Chart in accordance with the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), pursuant to which Merger Sub was merged with and into Chart, with Chart surviving the Merger as an indirect subsidiary of Baker Hughes. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings specified in the Merger Agreement.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 15, 2026, Baker Hughes Holdings LLC (“BHH”), as borrower, and Baker Hughes, as parent guarantor, entered into (i) a term loan credit agreement (the “Bank of America Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto (the “Bank of America Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, with aggregate lending commitments of $1.0 billion for a senior, unsecured term loan facility and (ii) a term loan credit agreement (the “UniCredit Term Loan Credit Agreement,” and, together with the Bank of America Term Loan Credit Agreement, the “Term Loan Credit Agreements”) with the lenders party thereto (the “UniCredit Lenders,” and, together with the Bank of America Lenders, the “Lenders”) and UniCredit Bank GmbH, New York Branch, as administrative agent, with aggregate lending commitments of $1.0 billion for a senior, unsecured term loan facility, each in connection with the Merger. Baker Hughes fully guaranteed the obligations under each Term Loan Credit Agreement.

The term loans were funded by the respective Lenders at closing of the Term Loan Credit Agreements, and the proceeds of the term loans shall be used by Baker Hughes to finance, together with other sources of funds, the Merger and to pay related fees and expenses.

Loans under the Bank of America Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Bank of America Term Loan Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin ranging from 0 bps to 25.0 bps based on the ratings of BHH’s senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term debt, as determined by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s (the “Bank of America Ratings”), or (ii) the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Bank of America Term Loan Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin of 100.0 bps to 125.0 bps based on BHH’s Bank of America Ratings.

Loans under the UniCredit Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the UniCredit Term Loan Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin ranging from 0 bps to 12.5 bps based on the ratings of BHH’s senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term debt, as determined by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s (the “UniCredit Ratings”), or (ii) the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the UniCredit Term Loan Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin of 62.5 bps to 112.5 bps based on BHH’s UniCredit Ratings.

Borrowings under each Term Loan Credit Agreement will mature 2 years from the date of funding. Each Term Loan Credit Agreement also contains (i) certain representations and warranties, (ii) certain affirmative covenants, (iii) certain negative covenants and (iv) certain events of default, including among other things, cross-acceleration to certain indebtedness, and certain events of bankruptcy in each case, that BHH and Baker Hughes consider customary. If such an event of default occurs, the applicable Lenders would be entitled to accelerate amounts due under the applicable Term Loan Credit Agreement.

The above summary of the terms of each Term Loan Credit Agreement is not a complete description thereof and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such agreements which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the acquisition of Chart described in Item 2.01 below, on July 16, 2026, BHH’s existing term loan credit agreement (the “Previous Term Loan Credit Agreement”), dated August 15, 2025, among BHH, as borrower, and Baker Hughes, as parent guarantor, the lenders party thereto and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as Exhibit 10.1 to Baker Hughes’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 18, 2025, automatically terminated. There were no termination penalties associated with the termination of the Previous Term Loan Credit Agreement.

The Previous Term Loan Credit Agreement was a senior, unsecured delayed draw term loan facility. The maximum availability under the Previous Term Loan Credit Agreement was $2.6 billion. The Previous Term Loan Credit Agreement provided for interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Previous Term Loan Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin of 0 bps or 12.5 bps based on the ratings of BHH’s senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term debt, as determined by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s (the “Goldman Sachs Ratings”), or (ii) Adjusted Term SOFR (being Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 10 bps), plus an applicable margin ranging from 62.5 bps to 112.5 bps based on BHH’s Goldman Sachs Ratings. The loans under the Previous Term Loan Credit Agreement would have matured 2 years from the date of funding.

The above summary of the terms of the Previous Term Loan Credit Agreement is not a complete description thereof and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such agreement which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Baker Hughes’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 18, 2025 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock of Chart, par value $0.01 per share (the “Chart Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (x) shares of Chart Common Stock owned by Baker Hughes or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries or by Chart or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries or (y) shares of Chart Common Stock owned by stockholders who have properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights under Delaware law, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time), were canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive $210.00 in cash (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest and subject to any applicable withholding tax.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, (i) each option to purchase shares of Chart Common Stock with an exercise price per share less than the Merger Consideration was canceled and converted into the right to receive the excess of the Merger Consideration over the per-share exercise price of such option, and each option with an exercise price per share equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration was canceled for no consideration; (ii) each restricted stock unit with respect to shares of Chart Common Stock granted prior to the date of the Merger Agreement was canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration; (iii) each restricted stock unit with respect to shares of Chart Common Stock granted on or after the date of the Merger Agreement was converted into a Baker Hughes restricted stock unit based on a conversion ratio determined using the average of the high and low selling prices of Baker Hughes Class A common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the closing, with such award remaining subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such award immediately prior to the Effective Time; (iv) a pro rata portion of each performance stock unit (“Chart PSU”) with respect to shares of Chart Common Stock (based on the portion of the applicable performance period elapsed prior to the closing and the greater of (x) the target level of performance applicable to such Chart PSU and (y) the actual level of performance achieved as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) was canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration; and (v) the remaining portion of each

Chart PSU that was not canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration was canceled and converted into the right to receive a cash-based award based on the number of shares of Chart Common Stock subject to such remaining portion and the deemed level of performance as set forth in the immediately preceding clause (iv), with such award remaining subject to time-based vesting until the last day of the original performance period applicable to the related Chart PSU.

Baker Hughes funded the Merger Consideration through a combination of cash on hand, proceeds from the issuance of $6.5 billion and €3.0 billion senior notes on March 11, 2026 and borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreements referred to in Item 1.01 above.

The description of the effects of the Merger Agreement and of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Baker Hughes’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 29, 2025, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As described in Item 1.01 above, BHH entered into the Term Loan Credit Agreements on July 15, 2026 and borrowed $2.0 billion collectively under the Term Loan Credit Agreements to fund a portion of the Merger Consideration, to pay transaction fees and expenses related to the Merger, including in connection with the incurrence of indebtedness by Baker Hughes or one of its subsidiaries, the use of proceeds as described in the Term Loan Credit Agreements and the payment of related fees, premiums and expenses, and to repay Chart’s outstanding indebtedness.

The description of the Term Loan Credit Agreements is set forth under Item 1.01, which description is incorporated herein by reference.

As described in Item 1.02 above, BHH terminated approximately $2.6 billion in remaining commitments under the Previous Term Loan Credit Agreement, reducing total commitments for the Previous Term Loan Credit Agreement to $0.

ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

SECTION 2.01.

Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each, a “Loan”) in Dollars to the Borrower in a single drawing on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal

amount that will not result in such Lender’s Loans exceeding such Lender’s Commitment. Loans prepaid or repaid may not be reborrowed. The Loans shall in each case be ABR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans, as the Borrower shall request.

SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective unused

Commitments. Subject to Section 2.11, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith.

(b) The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder;

provided that, other than any Commitment made by a Lender through an Approved Fund as described in the definition thereof, which Commitment shall be the joint obligation of such Approved Fund and its designating Lender, the Commitments of the

Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

its option may make any Term Benchmark Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan

in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Term Benchmark Borrowing and at

the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, as the case may be, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $2,500,000 and not less than $10,000,000 for Term Benchmark Borrowings and ABR Borrowings; provided

that each such Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire balance of the total Commitments or the aggregate Loans then-outstanding.

(e) Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided

that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten Term Benchmark Borrowings made by the Borrower.

(f) Notwithstanding any

other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request in

writing (a) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m. (or such later time, as the Administrative Agent may agree to), New York City time, one U.S. Government Securities Business Day before the date of the proposed

Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m. (or such later time, as the Administrative Agent may agree to), New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such written Borrowing Request shall

specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the aggregate amount and

currency of the requested Borrowing;

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

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Term Benchmark Borrowing;

(iv) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period

contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(v) the location and number of the

Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.04.

If no

election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term Benchmark Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected

an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s

Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds

in Dollars by 12:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly

crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the

proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in

accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing

available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith promptly on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the

date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative

Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall

constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.05. Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Term Benchmark

Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. The Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, may elect

Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding

the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an

election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03(a) if the Borrower were requesting

a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.

Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)

the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to

be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the

effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)

whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Term Benchmark Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Interest

Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

(d) If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall

be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of

each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark

Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary

provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding

Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Term Benchmark Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.06. Termination of Commitments.

(a) On the Closing Date, after giving effect to any Borrowing on such date, all remaining Commitments shall automatically terminate in full.

SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal

amount of each Loan on the Maturity Date in Dollars.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or

accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type

thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the

Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts

maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to

maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans to it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may reasonably request that Loans made by it to the Borrower be evidenced by

a promissory note (a “Note”) substantially in the form of Exhibit E. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender,

to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more Notes in

such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such Note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.08. Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section, the Borrower may at its option, at any time, without

premium or penalty of any kind (other than any payments required under Section 2.16), prepay, in whole or in part, any Borrowings in Dollars.

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by email with PDF attachment) or

p.m., New York City time, on the date one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be

irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders

of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a

Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10.

interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate

per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate

applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in Dollars in arrears on each Interest

Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an

ABR Loan), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period

therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion, and (iv) all accrued interest on a Loan shall be payable upon the Maturity Date.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate

Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All interest hereunder on any

Loan shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Loan as of the applicable date of determination. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Term SOFR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and

such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.11. Inability to Determine Rates.

(a) Inability to Determine Rates. If in connection with any request for a Term Benchmark Loan or a conversion of ABR Loans to Term

Benchmark Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance

with Section 2.11(b), and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 2.11(b) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise

exist for determining the Term SOFR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term Benchmark Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed ABR Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine

that for any reason that the Term SOFR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the

Borrower and each Lender.

Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term Benchmark Loans, or to convert ABR Loans to Term

Benchmark Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term Benchmark Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR Rate component of the

Alternate Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR Rate component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in

clause (ii) of this Section 2.11(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to, or continuation of Term Benchmark

Loans (to the extent of the affected Term Benchmark Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding

Term Benchmark Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to ABR Loans immediately at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents,

if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the

Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for

ascertaining one month, three month and six month interest periods of the Term SOFR Rate, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be

temporary; or

(ii) CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having

jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator with respect to its publication of the Term SOFR Rate, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month, three month

and six month interest periods of the Term SOFR Rate or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of Dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall

or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such representative interest periods of the Term SOFR Rate

after such specific date (the latest date on which one month, three month and six month interest periods of the Term SOFR Rate or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the

“Scheduled Unavailability Date”);

then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “Term

SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled

Unavailability Date, the Term SOFR Rate will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any

amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Successor Rate).

If the

Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,

(i) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 2.11(b)(i)

or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Term SOFR Rate or any then current

Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 2.11 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with

an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for

such alternative benchmark. and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and

agented in the United States for such benchmark. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a “Successor Rate”. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business

Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such

Required Lenders object to such amendment.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each Lender of the

implementation of any Successor Rate.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent

such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero%, the Successor Rate will be deemed

to be zero% for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the

Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming

Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such

Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

Section 2.11, those Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this Agreement to make, the relevant Loans in Dollars shall be excluded from any determination of Required Lenders.

SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory

loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;

(ii) impose on any Lender or the applicable offshore interbank market any

other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses

(b) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable

thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting or

maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal,

interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs

incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or

would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such

Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and

liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as specified in

paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such amount or amounts, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount

shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand

compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or

reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided

further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect

thereof.

SECTION 2.13. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or

withholding for any Taxes, except as required by law; provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of such applicable Withholding Agent) to deduct

or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required

deductions and withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives from the Borrower an amount equal to the sum it would have

received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the

relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, a Tax imposed by reason of or pursuant to FATCA is a Tax required by law to be deducted or withheld.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount

of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be (other than any

penalties, interest and expenses resulting from any bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by

the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest

error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the

Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably

satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with

respect to payments made under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement and at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or

reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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. In

addition, any Lender, on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement or if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law

(together with any supplementary documentation) or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, including

whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Lender (or assignee or Participant) that is a “United States person” as

defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been

purchased) two executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender (or assignee or Participant) is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax,

(ii) each Lender (or assignee or Participant) that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a) (30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall

deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) whichever is applicable: (1) in the case of a

Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under this Agreement, two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to

the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other

income” article of such tax treaty, (2) two executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, (3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the

exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1, C-2,

C-3 or C-4, as applicable (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”), or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly

executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments under this Agreement and (y) two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or (4) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not

the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, or other certification documents from each beneficial

owner, as applicable, provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the

portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, and (iii) if a payment made to a Lender under this

Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable documentation or reporting requirements of FATCA (including those required pursuant to 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

or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment (and,

solely for purposes of this Section 2.13(e)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement). Such forms and documentation shall be delivered by each Lender on or

before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the

Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms and documentation promptly upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any form or documentation previously delivered by such Lender. Each Lender agrees that if any form

or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose) or promptly

notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form and documentation pursuant to this Section that such

Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy applied on a non-discriminatory basis and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different applicable lending office for the Loans made by it and its Commitments or to take other appropriate actions if such

designation or actions, as the case may be, will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any payments the Borrower is required to make under this Section 2.13, and will not, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent or such

Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

(h) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the

Administrative Agent within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,

whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive

absent manifest error.

(i) With respect to payments made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the benefit, or on account of

any Lender (or Participant), (i) any Administrative Agent that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code will provide an IRS Form W-9, and (ii) any

Administrative Agent that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code will provide an IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to any amounts payable to the

Administrative Agent for its own account and an IRS Form W-8IMY (a) certifying its status as a qualified intermediary, (b) assuming primary withholding responsibility for purposes of chapters 3 and 4

of the Code, and (c) either (1) assuming primary IRS Form 1099 reporting and backup withholding responsibility or (2) assuming reporting responsibility as a participating FFI or registered deemed-compliant FFI with respect to accounts that

it maintains and that are held by specified U.S. persons as permitted under Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-4(c)(4)(i) or (c)(4)(ii) in lieu of IRS Form 1099 reporting. No Administrative Agent shall

be permitted to make the election described in Section 1471(b)(3) of the Code.

(j) If any party determines, in its sole discretion

exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.13 (including by the payment of additional amounts paid pursuant to this

Section 2.13), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.13 with respect to Taxes giving rise to

such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental

Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.13(i) (plus any penalties,

interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority, other than any penalties, interest or other charges resulting from any bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified

party) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (j), in no event will

the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (i) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax

position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to

such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other

Person.

(k) Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or

any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.14. Payments Generally.

(a) Unless otherwise specified herein, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (including under Sections

2.12, 2.13, 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due. All such payments shall be made in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim.

Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to

the Administrative Agent at its offices as set forth in Section 9.01 or at such other office as directed by the Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.16 and

9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute in like funds any such payments received by for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt

thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for

the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in the currency in which the applicable payment obligation is due.

(b)

If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees

then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled

thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest

thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such

payments made shall be

shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are

purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph

shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any

of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may

effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such

Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have

received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment from the Borrower is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume

that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the

Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of

payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be

made by it pursuant to Sections 2.04(b) or 2.14(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account

of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.15. Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified

Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for

funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts

payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.13 as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be

disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (x) any Lender requests compensation, or is entitled to payments, under

Section 2.12 or Section 2.13 or is affected in the manner described in Section 2.17, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any

Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, (y) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (z) any Lender (the “Non-Consenting Lender”) does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement,

modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (a “Proposed Change”) that requires the consent of each of the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the

Required Lenders has been obtained), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (in the case of a claim for compensation under, or payments pursuant to, Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, in the case of illegality under

Section 2.17 or a replacement pursuant to clause (z)) or at the expense and effort of any such Defaulting Lender, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in

accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.12 or Section 2.13) and obligations under this Agreement to an

assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent

shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from

the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under, or payments

pursuant to, Section 2.12 or Section 2.13 or from illegality under Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments or eliminate the illegality, as the case may be. A Lender shall not be

required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees

that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an

Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its

electronic transmission system as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants (“Approved Electronic Platforms”)), and (ii) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for

such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such

documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender; provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on

the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to

borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.08(b) and is revoked in accordance

herewith), or (d) the assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15, then, in any such

event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Term Benchmark Loan, the

loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest

that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of

a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Term SOFR Rate for such Interest

Period, over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate

that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for deposits in the relevant currency from other banks in the eurocurrency market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts

that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days

after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in

applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Term Benchmark Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make

Term Benchmark Loans, continue Term Benchmark Loans as such and convert ABR Loans into Term Benchmark Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Term Benchmark Loans, if any, shall be converted

automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion or repayment of a Term Benchmark Loan occurs on a day

which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.16. If circumstances subsequently

change so that any affected Lender shall determine that it is no longer so affected, such Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and upon receipt of such notice, the obligations of such Lender to make or continue Term

Benchmark Loans or to convert ABR Loans into Term Benchmark Loans shall be reinstated.

SECTION 2.18. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.19. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting

Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) [Reserved];

(b) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender

(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the

Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this

Agreement, as

determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such

Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any

Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a

result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or

as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be

applied solely to pay the Loans of non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders

pro rata in accordance with their Applicable Percentage without giving effect to clause (d) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting

Lender pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto; and

(c) the Commitment and Loan of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take

any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that this clause (c) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an

amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby.

ARTICLE IV

CONDITIONS

SECTION 4.01. Closing Date. This Agreement shall not become effective until the date on which each of the following conditions

COVENANTS

The Borrower hereby agrees that, so long as the Commitments remain in effect or any Loan or other amount is owing to any

Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Borrower shall:

SECTION 5.01. Compliance with Laws. Comply, and cause each of its

Subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable law, rules, regulations and orders (including, without limitation, ERISA and environmental laws and permits) except to the extent that failure to so comply (in the aggregate for all such failures) would

not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower will maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to promote compliance in all material respects by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, and their respective

directors, officers, employees and agents (acting in their respective capacities) with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions.

SECTION 5.02. Preservation of Existence. (a) Preserve and maintain and cause each of its Subsidiaries to preserve and maintain

(unless, in the case of any Subsidiary, the Borrower or such Subsidiary determines that such preservation and maintenance is no longer necessary in the conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), its corporate or

organizational existence, rights (charter and statutory), franchises, permits, licenses, approvals and privileges in the jurisdiction of its organization; provided, however, that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may consummate any

merger, consolidation conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition permitted under Section 6.03; and provided further that neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to preserve any right,

permit, license, approval, privilege, franchise or, solely in the case of Subsidiaries, existence, if the failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) qualify and

remain qualified, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to qualify and remain qualified, as a foreign organization in each jurisdiction in which qualification is necessary or desirable in view of its business and operations or the ownership of its

properties, except where the failure to so qualify or remain qualified could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.03. Taxes. Pay or cause to pay, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay or cause to pay, in the ordinary course of business

consistent with past practice, (i) all taxes, assessments, charges and like levies levied or imposed upon it or upon its income, profits or property due and payable and (ii) all lawful claims that, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien

upon its property; provided that in no event shall either the Borrower or any Subsidiary be required to pay and discharge any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (A) the failure to do so (in the aggregate for all such

failures) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (B) the tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and reserves, if required by GAAP, have been

established in conformity with GAAP.

(e) such other information as any Lender through the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request, including information and

documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for purposes of compliance with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act and the Beneficial Ownership

Regulation.

All such financial statements shall be complete and correct in all material respects and shall be prepared in accordance with

GAAP. Timely filing of such statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission shall constitute compliance with this Section 5.04; provided that the Borrower agrees to provide hard copies of such statements to

any Lender upon the reasonable request of such Lender made to the address provided in Section 9.01(b). The Borrower may satisfy its obligations with respect to financial information relating to the Borrower by furnishing

financial information relating to the Parent Guarantor in each case in accordance with the foregoing.

SECTION 5.08. Transactions with Affiliates. Conduct, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to conduct, all transactions otherwise

permitted under this Agreement with any of their Affiliates on terms that are fair and reasonable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary and, if a comparable arm’s-length transaction is known by the

Borrower, no less favorable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to:

(a) transactions between or among any of the Parent Guarantor, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries;

(b) transactions or payments pursuant to any employment arrangements or employee, officer or director benefit plans or arrangements entered

(e) any transaction or series of transactions between the Borrower or any Subsidiary and any

of their joint ventures, provided that such transaction or series of transactions is in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices of the Borrower, and/or its Subsidiaries and their joint ventures;

(f) the issuance of equity interests of the Borrower to any Person or the repurchase of equity interests of the Borrower from any Person;

(g) transactions entered into by a Person prior to the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary or is merged or consolidated into the Borrower or

a Subsidiary; provided such transaction is not entered into in contemplation of such event; or

(h) any transaction between or

among the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of their Affiliates, on the other hand, that provides for an exchange of value of less than $20,000,000.

SECTION 5.09. Anti-Corruption and Sanctions. The Borrower will not request any Borrowing, and the Borrower shall not use, and shall

require pursuant to its policies and procedures that its Subsidiaries and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, the proceeds of any Borrowing (A) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or

authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any

Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, except to the extent permitted for a Person required to comply with Sanctions, including pursuant to a license or permit, or (C) in any manner that would result in the material violation of any

Sanctions applicable to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, other than to the extent that such covenant would result in a violation of Council Regulation (EC) No 2271/96, as amended (or any implementing law or regulation in any member state of the

European Union) or any similar applicable blocking or anti-boycott law or regulation in the United Kingdom.

SECTION 5.10. Use of

ARTICLE VIII

THE

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 8.01. Authorization and Action.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent under

the Loan Documents and each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, and to exercise all rights, powers

and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.

(b) As to any matters not expressly provided for herein

and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected

in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in

writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to

liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lenders with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable

law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy,

insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating

to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and

may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose,

any information relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance

of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on

behalf of the Lenders (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. The motivations of the Administrative Agent and

Lead Arranger are commercial in nature and not to invest in the general performance or operations of the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other

relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is

understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express)

obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender

agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby;

(ii) nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum

or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account;

(d) The Administrative Agent may perform any

of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such

sub-agent may perform any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such

sub-

agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this

Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and

nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

(e) The Lead Arranger shall not have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and

shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.

(f) In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Obligor under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency,

receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, 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:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans 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 under Sections 2.10, 2.12, 2.13 and 9.03)

allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii) 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 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 to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03). 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.

(g) The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and

the Lenders, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have

any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions.

signature page) or for any failure of any Obligor to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall

be deemed not to have knowledge of any (i) notice of any of the events or circumstances set forth or described in Section 5.05 unless and until written notice thereof stating that it is a “notice under

Section 5.05” in respect of this Agreement and identifying the specific clause under said Section is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, or (ii) notice of any Default or Event of Default unless and

until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of Default” or a “notice of an Event of Default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. Further, the Administrative Agent shall not be

any other Loan Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender

unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice

to the contrary from such Lender sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement

or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it

orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker

thereof).

ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or

disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

SECTION 8.03. Posting of Communications.

(a) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders by

posting the Communications on an Approved Electronic Platform.

(b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal

are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic

Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a

deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders and the Borrower acknowledge and agree that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure,

that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such

distribution. Each of the Lenders and the Borrower hereby approve distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understand and assume the risks of such distribution.

PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE

COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM

VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LEAD ARRANGER OR ANY OF ITS

RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY OBLIGOR, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING

DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED

ELECTRONIC PLATFORM IN THE ABSENCE OF ITS OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT (SUCH ABSENCE TO BE PRESUMED UNLESS OTHERWISE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT).

“Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided

by or on behalf of any Obligor pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an

Approved Electronic Platform.

(d) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications

have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could

be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

(e) Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agree that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not

be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

(f) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to

any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

SECTION 8.04. The Administrative Agent Individually. With

respect to its Commitment and Loans, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any

other Lender. The terms “Lenders”, “Required Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or as

one of the Required Lenders, as applicable. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and

generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the

Lenders.

SECTION 8.05. Successor Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower,

whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right (with, so long as no Event of Default exists, the consent of the Borrower) to appoint a successor Administrative

Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative

Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written

approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor

Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a

successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as

Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall

have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower,

whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; and continue to be

entitled to the rights set forth in such Loan Document, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section, and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become

vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the

account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall directly be given or

made to each Lender. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and

indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub- agents and their respective Related Parties in respect

of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.06. Acknowledgements of Lenders.

(a) Each Lender represents and warrants that (1) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (2) in

participating as a Lender, it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the

purpose of investing in the general performance or operations of the Borrower, or for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument such as a security (and each Lender agrees not to assert a claim in

contravention of the foregoing, such as a claim under the federal or state securities laws), (3) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of

the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder and (4) it is

sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to

make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently

and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material,

non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in

taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Closing Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and

Acceptance or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be

approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Closing Date.

(c)

(i) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has

determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively,

a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day

thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent, may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day

funds, together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to but excluding the date

such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect,

and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with

respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the

Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 8.06(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from

the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such

Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in

each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall

promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent, may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion

thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof)

was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank

compensation from time to time in effect.

(iii) Each Obligor hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment

(or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an

erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Obligor, except, in each case, to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that

is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or the Parent Guarantor for the purpose of satisfying such Obligations.

(iv) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.06(c) shall survive the resignation or

replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 8.07. Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from

the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to

information or other materials (including, without limitation, any personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) except to the extent that such damages have resulted

from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Lender- Related Person (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), and (ii) no party hereto

shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any Liabilities against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in

creditors or any other third Person and whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent

that such Liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from (x) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or

its Related Parties), (y) any material breach of the express obligations of such Indemnitee (or its Related Parties) under the Loan Documents or (z) any dispute solely between or among Indemnitees (not arising as a result of any act or omission

by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates), other than claims against any Lender in its capacity as, or in fulfilling its role as, the Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger or any similar role under the Loan Documents. It is understood

and agreed that, to the extent not precluded by a conflict of interest, each Indemnitee shall endeavor to work cooperatively with the Borrower with a view toward minimizing the legal and other expenses associated with any defense and any potential

settlement or judgment. Settlement of any claim or litigation involving any material indemnified amount will require the approvals of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the relevant Indemnitee (not to be unreasonably

withheld or delayed). This Section 9.03(c) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(d) Each Lender severally agrees to pay any amount required to be paid by the Borrower under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this

Section 9.03 to the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties (each, an “Agent-Related Person”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower

to do so), ratably according to their respective Applicable Percentage in effect on the date on which such payment is sought under this Section (or, if such payment is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the

Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Applicable Percentage immediately prior to such date), and agrees to indemnify and hold each Agent- Related Person harmless from and against any and all Liabilities and related

expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person in any way relating to or

arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent-Related

Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that the unreimbursed expense or Liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person in its capacity as such; provided

further that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such Liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from

such Agent-Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(e) All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable

promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and

assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower

without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to

confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, the Lead Arranger and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent

and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions

set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans

at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

(A) the Borrower; provided that (1) the

Borrower’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (it being understood that, inter alia, it shall be reasonable for the Borrower to withhold consent if the assignee has (x) short-term debt ratings below P-1 from Moody’s or has ratings at such level but is on credit watch with negative implications or (y) long-term debt ratings below BBB from S&P and below Baa2 from Moody’s or has ratings at

such levels but is on credit watch with negative implications from each of S&P and Moody’s) and (2) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment of all or a portion of the Loans and Commitments unless it shall have

objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided that no consent of the Borrower pursuant to this clause (y) shall be required for an

assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing arising under Section 7.01(a), 7.01(b), 7.01(d), 7.01(e) or 7.01(f),

any other assignee;

(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned);

provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such

assignment;

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining

amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is

delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has

occurred and is continuing;

(B) 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;

deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) an Assignment and Acceptance or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the

Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Acceptance are participants, together with (unless waived by the Administrative Agent) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable by the assignor or the assignee;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in

which the assignee designates one or more contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its related parties or its securities) will

be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws;

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective

date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and

the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning

Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.16, and 9.03). Any assignment or

transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with

paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and

the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest

error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the

contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or

(y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Acceptance are

participants, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such

assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the

assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.04(b), 2.14(d) or 9.03(d), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the

information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register

as provided in this paragraph.

to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its

Commitments and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the

performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this

Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision

of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to

Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.16 to the same extent and subject to the

same conditions as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section at the time of the participation; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions

of Section 2.15 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.13, with respect

to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the

benefits of Section 2.13 unless the Borrower is

notified of the Participation sold to such Participant and such Participant complies with Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation

agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.15(b) with respect to any Participant. Each Lender that sells a

participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and

stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that, except as set forth in the penultimate sentence of this

Section 9.04(c), no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any

Loans or its other obligations hereunder) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under

Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat such Person whose name is

recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. In consideration of this Section 9.04(c),

the Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower upon reasonable request and prior notice, provided that the Borrower in good faith determines it is necessary or appropriate to access the Participant Register in

order to establish that the Loans and other obligations are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The Borrower shall keep any information obtained from

the Participant Register confidential, except to the extent that a taxing authority requires disclosure for the sole purpose of establishing that the Loans and other obligations are in registered form under

Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a

Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this

Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no

such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute

an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all

previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the

Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the

parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (x) this Agreement,

(y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 9.01), certificate, request,

statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by

telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary

Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall

be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page),

each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall

require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the

extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower without further

verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic signature and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a

manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby (A) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies,

bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature

page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (B) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders

may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such

Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (C) waives any

argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document

and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (D) waives any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any

Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of

the failure of the Borrower to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

SECTION 9.06. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) This Agreement and any claims, controversy, dispute, or cause of action (whether based in contract, tort, or otherwise and whether at law

or in equity) shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each of the Lenders and the

Administrative Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree that, notwithstanding the governing law provisions of any applicable Loan Document, any claims brought against the Administrative Agent by any Lender relating to this Agreement, any

other Loan Document or the consummation or administration of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of

appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the

parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may (and any such claims, cross-claims or third party claims brought against the Administrative Agent or any of its Related

Parties may only) be heard and determined in such Federal (to the extent permitted by law) or New York State court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in

other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall (i) affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any

action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Obligor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction for the purposes of entering a judgment or (ii) waive any statutory, regulatory, common law, or other rule, doctrine, legal

restriction, provision or the like providing for the treatment of bank branches, bank agencies, or other bank offices as if they were separate juridical entities for certain purposes, including Uniform Commercial Code Sections 4-106, 4-A-105(1)(b), and 5-116(b), UCP 600 Article 3 and ISP98 Rule 2.02, and URDG 758 Article

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(e) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in

Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law

SECTION 9.07. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used

herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the

Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the

Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority, regulatory authority or any

credit insurance provider, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process in which case such Person shall, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by such applicable laws and

regulations, promptly notify the Borrower of such disclosure, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the

enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its

rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative or other transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations hereunder, this Agreement or payments

hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided for herein or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in

connection with the issuance and monitoring of identification numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein, (h) with the consent of the Borrower, (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available

other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or (j) to

market-data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section,

“Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that

serve the lending industry; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the

confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person

would accord to its own confidential information.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits any individual from communicating

or disclosing information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules, or regulations to a governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory authority without any notification to any person pursuant to any “whistleblowing” or other similar

program of such governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority without any notification to any Person.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING

PARAGRAPH FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS

DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH

THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING

REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER, ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS

ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW.

SECTION 9.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT

(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT

IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.10. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title

III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes

the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall promptly provide such information upon request by any Lender.

SECTION 9.11. No Fiduciary Duty.

(a) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Recipient will have any obligations

except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Recipient is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents and the

transactions contemplated herein and therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other person. The Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Recipient based on an alleged breach

of fiduciary duty by such Recipient in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Recipient is advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment,

accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions

contemplated herein or in the other Loan Documents, and the Recipients shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto.

(b) The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Recipient, together with

its Affiliates, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Recipient may provide

investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, the

Borrower and other companies with which the Borrower may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Recipient or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities

and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

addition, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Recipient and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services)

to other companies in respect of which the Borrower may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Recipient will use confidential information obtained from the Borrower by virtue of the transactions

contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with the Borrower in connection with the performance by such Recipient of services for other companies, and no Recipient will furnish any such information to other companies. The Borrower

also acknowledges that no Recipient has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower, confidential information obtained from other companies.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Lead Arranger listed on the cover page hereof shall not have any powers, duties or

responsibilities under this agreement or the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender.

SECTION 9.12. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement 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 this Agreement may be subject to the Write- Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and

acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(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 entity, 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

(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 9.13. Acknowledgement Regarding Supported

QFCs.

To the extent that this Agreement provides support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for swap agreements or any other

agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal

Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution

Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that this Agreement 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 this Agreement that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such

Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and this Agreement 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.

SECTION 9.14. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,

illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions

hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.15. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the other Loan

Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution

and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default

or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this

Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article 8 shall survive and remain in full force

and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.16. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to

any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”)

which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect

thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the

interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date

of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.17. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment

in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent

could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder

or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the

“Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender,

as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures

purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower

agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum

originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto

under Applicable law).

SECTION 9.18. Release of Subsidiary Guarantors. If any Subsidiary of the Borrower guarantees the

Obligations (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantor”), so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Documents (or would result from such release), (i) if all of the equity interests of a

Subsidiary Guarantor that is owned by the Borrower or a Subsidiary is sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of in a transaction or transactions not prohibited by this Agreement or (ii) if a Subsidiary Guarantor is (or substantially

contemporaneously with such release, will not be) no longer obligated under Indebtedness that gave rise to the need for, or request of, such Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Guarantor, then, in each case, promptly following the Borrower’s

written request, the Administrative Agent shall execute a release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guaranty. In connection with any release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably

authorized by each Lender to) execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense, all documents that the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to

this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE X

GUARANTY

SECTION 10.01.

Guaranty.

(a) The Parent Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, for payment and not for collection, and as

primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at

the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.

(b) In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law,

or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of the Parent Guarantor under this Article X would otherwise be held or determined to be

avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of the Parent Guarantor’s liability under this Article X, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X to the contrary, the amount of such liability

shall, without any further action by the Parent Guarantor or the Administrative Agent or any Lender, be automatically limited and reduced to the

highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the Parent Guarantor’s “Maximum

Liability”). This Section 10.01(b) with respect to the Maximum Liability of the Parent Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to the maximum extent not

subject to avoidance under applicable law. The Parent Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of the Parent Guarantor hereunder without impairing this guarantee or affecting the rights

and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder; provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase the Parent Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

(c) This guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until all the Obligations shall have been satisfied by payment in full in immediately

available funds and the Commitments have been terminated.

(d) No payment made by the Parent Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other

Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Parent Guarantor, any guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or

application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Parent Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such

payment (other than any payment made by the Parent Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from the Parent Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations until the Obligations shall

have been satisfied by payment in full in immediately available funds and the Commitments have been terminated.

SECTION 10.02. No

Subrogation.

Notwithstanding any payment made by the Parent Guarantor hereunder or any

set-off or application of funds of the Parent Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Parent Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent

or any Lender against the Borrower or any guarantor or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations nor shall the Parent Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or

reimbursement from the Borrower or any guarantor in respect of payments made by the Parent Guarantor under this guarantee, until the Obligations are paid in full in immediately available funds and the Commitments have been terminated. All rights and

claims of the Parent Guarantor based upon or relating to any right of contribution, reimbursement, indemnification or subrogation against the Borrower or any guarantor shall be fully subordinated to the Obligations until the Obligations are paid in

full in immediately available funds and the Commitments have been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Parent Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full in

immediately available funds, such amount shall be held by the Parent Guarantor for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Parent Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the

exact form received by the Parent Guarantor (duly indorsed by the Parent Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may

determine.

SECTION 10.03. Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Parent Guarantor shall remain obligated under this guarantee notwithstanding that,

without any reservation of rights against the Parent Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by the Parent Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, may be rescinded by the

Administrative Agent or such Lender and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time,

in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and this Agreement and any other documents executed and delivered in connection

therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with Section 9.02, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem

advisable from time to time, and any guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released without affecting the Parent

Guarantor’s obligations under this Article X.

SECTION 10.04. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Parent Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or

accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon this guarantee or acceptance of this guarantee; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created,

contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Article X; and all dealings between the Parent Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall

be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Article X. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Parent Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default

or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower with respect to the Obligations. The Parent Guarantor understands and agrees that this guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance and not merely

of collectability without regard to, and the Parent Guarantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights, claims or defenses that it might otherwise have with respect to, each of the following: (a) the validity or

enforceability of this Agreement, any of the Obligations or any other guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or

(c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Obligations, or of the Parent

Guarantor under this Article X, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Parent Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but

shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower or any guarantor or any other Person or against any guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with

respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any

such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such guarantee or to exercise any such

right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any guarantor or any other Person or any such guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the Parent Guarantor of any obligation or liability under this Article X, and shall not impair or

affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Parent Guarantor under this Article X. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include

the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

SECTION 10.05. Reinstatement.

This Article X shall continue to be effective, or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof,

of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower, or upon or as a result of the

appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by

their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
