Each such election shall be made by delivering a completed Notice of Interest Rate Election signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to the Servicing Agent not later than (i) in the case of any conversion to Base Rate Loans, 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such conversion and (ii) in the case of any conversion to Term Benchmark Loans, or any continuation of Term Benchmark Loans, 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day before such conversion or continuation. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only

a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Borrowing; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing and (ii) the portion of such Borrowing to which such election applies, and the remaining portion of such Borrowing to which it does not apply, are each at least $10,000,000 (unless such portion is consisting of Base Rate Loans). If no such notice is timely received before the end of an Interest Period applicable to any Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such Term Benchmark Borrowing be continued, at the end of such Interest Period, with an Interest Period of one month (or, if Section 2.08(d)(iii) applies, that such Term Benchmark Borrowing be converted, at the end of such Interest Period, to a Base Rate Borrowing).

(b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

(i) the Borrowing (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

(ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of Section 2.08(a);

(iii) if the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be converted, the new Type of Loans and, if the Loans resulting from such conversion are to be Term Benchmark Loans, the duration of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable thereto; and

(iv) if the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be continued as Term Benchmark Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

(c) Promptly after receiving a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.08(a), the Servicing Agent shall notify each Bank of the contents thereof. Such Notice of Interest Rate Election shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

(d) The Borrower shall not be entitled to elect to convert any Loans to, or continue any Loans for an additional Interest Period as, Term Benchmark Loans if (i) the aggregate principal amount of any Term Benchmark Borrowing created or continued as a result of such election would be less than $10,000,000, (ii) more than 15 Term Benchmark Borrowings shall be outstanding at any time or (iii) at the time the Borrower delivers notice of such election to the Servicing Agent, (x) an Event of Default under Section 6.01(g) or 6.01(h) shall have occurred and be continuing or (y) any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and, in the case of this clause (y), the Servicing Agent, at the request of the Required Banks, notifies the Borrower of the election to suspend the Borrower’s rights as to such elections.

(e) If any Loan is converted to a different Type of Loan, the Borrower shall pay, on the date of such conversion, the interest accrued to such date on the principal amount being converted.

Section 2.09 Fees.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Servicing Agent, for the account of each Bank, a ticking fee (the “Ticking Fee”) at the Ticking Fee Rate on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Bank during the period (i) from and including the Effective Date and (ii) to but excluding the earlier of (x) the Funding Date and (y) the date on which the Commitments terminate (such period, the “Ticking Fee Accrual Period”). Accrued Ticking Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on the last day of the Ticking Fee Accrual Period. In addition, on the date of any reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay all Ticking Fees to the extent accrued on the aggregate amount of the Commitments subject to such reduction.

(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Servicing Agent, for the account of each Bank, a duration fee (the “Duration Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.10% of the amount of the Commitment of such Bank in effect, or Loans of such Bank outstanding, as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on September 30, 2026. The Duration Fee shall be earned on such day and shall be due and payable on the first Business Day thereafter.

Section 2.10 Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) The Borrower may, upon at least one Business Day’s written notice, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, given to the Servicing Agent, (i) terminate the Commitments or (ii) ratably reduce from time to time the aggregate amount of the Commitments; provided that each such reduction shall reduce the Commitments by an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 (or any larger multiple of $1,000,000).

(b) In the event and on each occasion that, after the Effective Date and prior to the termination of all the Commitments, the Borrower or any Subsidiary receives Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Reduction/Prepayment Event, the Commitments shall automatically and permanently be reduced by an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds (or if less, by an amount equal to the Commitments then outstanding), with such reduction to be effective on the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by the Borrower or any Subsidiary. The Borrower shall provide the Servicing Agent with prompt written notice, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, of the occurrence of any Reduction/Prepayment Event giving rise to a

mandatory reduction of the Commitments under this Section 2.11(b), specifying the date and amount of such reduction and including a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount of the applicable Net Cash Proceeds. Each reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be made ratably among the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 2.13 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) In the event and on each occasion that, after making of the Loans on the Funding Date, the Borrower or any Subsidiary receives Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Reduction/Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, on or prior to the second Business Day after such Net Cash Proceeds are received by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, prepay Borrowings by an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds (or if less, by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Loans then outstanding). The Borrower shall provide the Servicing Agent with prompt written notice, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, of the occurrence of any Reduction/Prepayment Event giving rise to a mandatory prepayment under this Section 2.13(a), specifying the date of such prepayment, the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and including a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount of the applicable Net Cash Proceeds.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees hereunder, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, without set-off or counterclaim, to the Servicing Agent at such account of the Servicing Agent as shall be notified to the Borrower in writing from time to time. All payments hereunder (including of principal and interest) shall be made in U.S. dollars. The Servicing Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the Servicing Agent for the account of the Banks. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Maturity Date” and “Interest Period”, whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(b) Unless the Servicing Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Servicing Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Servicing Agent on such date and the Servicing Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Servicing Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Servicing Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

Section 2.15 Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan or any Term Benchmark Loan is converted to a different Type of Loan (whether such payment or conversion is pursuant to Article 2, 6, or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Term Benchmark Loan after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.04(a), 2.08(c) or 2.12(c) (and whether or not the Borrower shall have revoked or extended the applicable notice given by it as permitted hereunder), or if the Borrower shall require an assignment of a Term Benchmark Loan in accordance with Section 8.06 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or, subject to Section 9.06(d), by an existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or conversion or failure to borrow, prepay, convert or continue; provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.16 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on the Prime Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

Section 2.17 Defaulting Banks.

(i) the Ticking Fee shall cease to accrue with respect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Bank and no Duration Fee shall be payable with respect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Bank (but will be payable with respect to the Loans of such Defaulting Bank); and

(ii) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Servicing Agent for the account of such Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 6 or otherwise) or received by the Servicing Agent from a Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 9.04 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Servicing Agent as follows: first, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Servicing Agent or any Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Servicing Agent; third, if so determined by the Servicing Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Bank’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no 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 Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; it being agreed that any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.

(b) No Commitment of any Bank shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.17, performance by the Borrower of its obligations shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section 2.17. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Bank under this Section 2.17 are in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Borrower, the Servicing Agent or any Bank may have against such Defaulting Bank.

(c) If the Borrower and the Servicing Agent agree in writing in their reasonable determination that a Defaulting Bank should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank, the Servicing Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon, as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Bank was a Defaulting Bank and all

amendments, waivers or modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.05 and this Section 2.17 during such period shall be binding on such Bank; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from the applicable Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank.

(d) The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Bank that is a Defaulting Bank upon not less than ten Business Days’ prior notice to the Servicing Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks thereof); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agents, the Servicing Agent or any Bank may have against such Defaulting Bank.

Concurrently with such delivery to the Servicing Agent, the Borrower shall indicate in writing whether such document or notice contains Nonpublic Information. The Borrower, each Agent and each Bank acknowledge that certain of the Banks may be “public-side” Banks (i.e., Banks that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities) and, if documents or notices required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 5.01 or otherwise are being distributed by the Servicing Agent through the Approved Electronic Platform, any document or notice that the Borrower has indicated contains Nonpublic Information shall not be posted on that portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated for such public-side Banks and shall be treated as confidential as set forth in Section 9.07.

notice solely on that portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated for Banks who wish to receive Nonpublic Information.

Article 7
The Agents

Section 7.01 Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agents and the Servicing Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the Notes as are delegated to the Administrative Agents and the Servicing Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Banks, and the Borrower shall not have rights under any of such provisions, except as expressly provided in Section 7.06. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein (or any other similar term) with reference to an Administrative Agent or the Servicing Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. The motivations of the Administrative Agents and the Servicing Agent are commercial in nature and not to invest in the general performance or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

Section 7.02 Rights as a Bank. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Bank as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association in its individual capacity. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

Section 7.03 Duties of Agent; Exculpatory Provisions

(a) The duties of the Administrative Agents and the Servicing Agent hereunder are solely administrative in nature, and no Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agents nor the Servicing Agent:

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

(ii) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that an Administrative Agent or the Servicing Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as it shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided herein); provided that neither the Administrative Agents nor the Servicing Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable

law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Bank in violation of any debtor relief law; and

(iii) shall, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Related Parties that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Administrative Agent or the Servicing Agent or any of its Related Parties in any capacity.

(b) Neither the Administrative Agents nor the Servicing Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as it shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided herein) or (ii) 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 non-appealable judgment). Neither the Administrative Agents nor the Servicing Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default unless and until the Borrower or any Bank shall have given notice (stating that it is a “notice of default”) to such Agent describing such Default and such event or events.

(c) Neither the Administrative Agents nor the Servicing Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 3 or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items (which on their face purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Administrative Agents or the Servicing Agent shall have any liability arising from any determination that any Bank is a Defaulting Bank, or the effective date of such status, it being further understood and agreed that no Agent shall not have any obligation to determine whether any Bank is a Defaulting Bank.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall require any Administrative Agent, the Servicing Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any Person on behalf of any Bank, and each Bank confirms to each Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by any Administrative Agent, the Servicing Agent or any of its Related Parties.

Section 7.04 Reliance by Agent. Each Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and

to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank, each Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank unless an officer of such Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank prior to the date of the making of such Loan such Bank shall not have made available to the Servicing Agent such Bank’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. Each Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 7.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Each such sub-agent and the Related Parties of each Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 7 and Section 9.03 (as though such sub-agents were the “Agent” under this Agreement) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 7.06 Resignation of Agent.

(a) The Servicing Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right, subject to approval by the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Servicing Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Banks) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Servicing Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Servicing Agent meeting the consent requirements and qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) (i) If the Person serving as Servicing Agent is a Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (v) of the definition thereof, the Required Banks may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Servicing Agent and, subject to approval by the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Banks) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(ii) If a Person serving as an Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (v) of the definition thereof, the Required Banks may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as an Administrative Agent and, subject to approval by the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Banks), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on such date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Servicing Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Servicing Agent hereunder and (ii) except for any indemnity and expense reimbursement payments owed to the retiring or removed Servicing Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Servicing Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank directly, until such time, if any, as a successor Servicing Agent is appointed as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Servicing Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as Servicing Agent of the retiring or removed Servicing Agent (other than any rights to indemnity and expense reimbursement payments owed to the retiring or removed Servicing Agent), and the retiring or removed Servicing Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Servicing Agent hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Servicing Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Servicing Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Servicing Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Servicing Agent was acting as Servicing Agent.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Servicing Agent pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall also be deemed to be the resignation or removal of the Person acting as Servicing Agent in its capacity as an Administrative Agent.

Section 7.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Banks.

(a) Each Bank represents and warrants that (i) this Agreement sets forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) in participating as a Bank hereunder, it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans, 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 and its Subsidiaries, or for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, such as a security (and each Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing, such as a claim under the federal or state securities law), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Servicing Agent, any Administrative Agent or any other Bank, 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 Bank, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to

decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Servicing Agent, any Administrative Agent or any other Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain Nonpublic Information) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder.

(b) Each Bank, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other document pursuant to which it shall become a Bank hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, this Agreement and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Servicing Agent, the Administrative Agents or the Banks on the Effective Date.

(c) (i) Each Bank hereby agrees that (x) if the Servicing Agent notifies such Bank that the Servicing Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Bank from the Servicing 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 Bank (whether or not known to such Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the Servicing Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Servicing 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 Servicing Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Servicing Agent at the Overnight Rate, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Bank shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Servicing Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Servicing 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 Servicing Agent to any Bank under this Section 7.07(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Servicing 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 Servicing 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 Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Bank shall promptly notify the Servicing Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Servicing Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the Servicing Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Servicing 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 Servicing Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Servicing Agent at the Overnight Rate.

(iii) The Borrower hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Servicing Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Bank with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by the Borrower hereunder.

(iv) Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.07(c) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Servicing Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations owed by the Borrower hereunder.

(d) Each Bank acknowledges that there may be a constant flow of information (including information which may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and its Affiliates, on the other hand. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower and its Affiliates may provide information, including updates to previously provided information to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and its Affiliates acting in different capacities, including as Bank, lead bank, arranger or potential securities investor, independent of the role of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as an Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent hereunder. Each Bank acknowledges that neither JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. nor its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to provide any of the foregoing information to them. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Servicing Agent herein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide, and shall not be liable for the failure to provide, any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the Loans, the Banks, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to, obtained by, or in the possession of, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any of its Affiliates in any capacity, including any information obtained by any Administrative Agent or the Servicing Agent in the course of communications among such Administrative Agent or the Servicing Agent and the Borrower, any of its Affiliates or any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such information may (but shall not be required to) be shared by any Administrative Agent or the Servicing Agent with one or more Banks or any formal or informal committee or ad hoc group of such Banks, including at the direction of the Borrower.

Section 7.08 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Persons acting as Arrangers shall have any duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Agent or as a Bank hereunder, but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities, expense reimbursement and exculpatory provisions provided for hereunder.

Section 7.09 Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Servicing Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon between the Borrower and the Servicing Agent.

Section 7.11 Posting of Communications. (a) The Borrower agrees that the Servicing Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Banks 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 Servicing Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective 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 Banks and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Servicing Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Bank that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Banks and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(c) EACH OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE AGENT 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 OR THE COMMUNICATIONS.

(d) Each Bank 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 Bank for purposes of this Agreement. Each Bank agrees (i) to notify the Servicing Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Bank’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.

Article 8
Change in Circumstances

Section 8.01 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Subject to Section 8.01(b), if:

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

(ii) the Servicing Agent is advised by the Required Banks, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that the Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of making or maintaining their included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Servicing Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks (which may be by telephone) as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Servicing Agent notifies the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Notice of Interest Rate Election in accordance with the terms of

Section 2.08 or a new Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, any Notice of Interest Rate Election that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Notice of Borrowing that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a Notice of Interest Rate Election or a new Notice of Borrowing, as applicable, for a Base Rate Borrowing. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Servicing Agent referred to in this Section 8.01(a) with respect to Term SOFR Rate, then until (x) the Servicing Agent notifies the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Notice of Interest Rate Election in accordance with the terms of Section 2.08 or a new Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, convert to, and shall constitute, a Base Rate Loan.

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

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

(iii) The Servicing Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (iv) below and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Servicing Agent or, if applicable, any Bank (or group of Banks) pursuant to this Section 8.01, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent

from any other party to this Agreement, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 8.01.

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

(v) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to a Base Rate Borrowing. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to Term SOFR Rate, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 8.01, any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, convert to, and shall constitute, a Base Rate Loan.

Section 8.02 Reserved.

Section 8.03 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such central bank or other Governmental Authority, shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, compulsory loan, special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed

by the Board) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) any other condition, cost or expense (other than taxes) affecting its Loans or its obligation to make Loans and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 30 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Servicing Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to this Section 8.03(a) for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Servicing Agent of the event described in this Section 8.03(a) that gives rise to such increased cost or reduction and of such Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor, and provided further that if the event giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b) If any Bank shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such central bank or other Governmental Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 30 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Servicing Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to this Section 8.03(b) for any reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Bank so notifies the Borrower and the Servicing Agent of the event described in this Section 8.03(b) that gives rise to such reduction and of such Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor, and provided further that if the event giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Servicing Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Bank’s claim for compensation under this Section 8.03 shall certify that the claim for additional amounts referred to therein is generally consistent with such Bank’s treatment of similarly situated customers of such Bank whose transactions with such Bank are similarly affected by the change in circumstances giving rise to

such payment, but such Bank shall not be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information therein.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.03 shall apply to all rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity issued in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

Section 8.04 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Bank or the Servicing Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made without deduction for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from any such payments, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such Bank or the Servicing Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Servicing Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify, without duplication, each Bank and the Servicing Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Bank or the Servicing Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be paid within 15 days after such Bank or the Servicing Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

(c) Each Bank and successor Servicing Agent that is not a U.S. Person (each, a “Foreign Bank”), to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank and on or prior to the date it becomes the Servicing Agent in the case of the successor Servicing Agent, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower or the Servicing Agent, shall provide the Borrower and the Servicing Agent with whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service form W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Bank or such Servicing Agent is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which exempts such Bank or such Servicing Agent from United States withholding tax or reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or other applicable payments to or for the account of such Bank or

such Servicing Agent or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement or any Note is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States;

(ii) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Bank is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and (y) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-BEN-E; and

(iii) to the extent a Foreign Bank is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of Internal Revenue Service form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN-E, Internal Revenue Service form W-9, and/or other certification documents necessary or sufficient to establish a reduction or elimination of withholding tax from the Foreign Bank and each beneficial owner, as applicable.

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

(e) Each Bank and the Servicing Agent (or successor Servicing Agent, as applicable) that is a U.S. Person, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank and on or prior to the date it becomes the Servicing Agent in the case of a successor Servicing Agent, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower or the Servicing Agent (but only so long as such Bank or such Servicing Agent remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Servicing Agent with a duly executed and properly completed Internal Revenue Service form W-9, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service.

(f) Each Bank and the Servicing Agent (or successor Servicing Agent, as applicable) agree that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to Sections 8.04(c) through (e) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or

certification (provided that, in the case of any form or certification that expires or becomes obsolete, such Bank or Servicing Agent, as applicable, shall only update such form upon written request from the Borrower or the Servicing Agent, as applicable) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Servicing Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) For any period with respect to which a Bank or Servicing Agent has failed to comply with its obligations under Sections 8.04(c) through (f), such Bank or Servicing Agent shall not be entitled to indemnification or compensation under Section 8.04(a) or (b) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof; provided that if a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes.

(h) If any Bank or the Servicing Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes (including by virtue of a credit against other Taxes or Other Taxes) as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.04, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Bank or the Servicing Agent and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Bank or the Servicing Agent, as applicable, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Bank or the Servicing Agent in the event such Bank or the Servicing Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the Servicing Agent or any Bank be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the Servicing Agent or such Bank in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Servicing Agent or such Bank would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph (h) shall not be construed to require the Servicing Agent or any Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.04 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement or any Note.

Section 8.05 Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Term Benchmark Loans. If any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 with respect to its Term Benchmark Loans, and the Borrower shall, by at least three Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Servicing Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as (or continued as or converted to) Term Benchmark Loans shall instead be Base Rate Loans on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related

Term Benchmark Loans of the other Banks. If such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Term Benchmark Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to any related Term Benchmark Loans of the other Banks.

Section 8.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Banks. (a) If any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04, then such Bank 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 Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (x) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04, (y) any Bank is a Defaulting Bank or (z) any Bank does not approve any consent, waiver or amendment that (1) requires the approval of all Banks or all affected Banks in accordance with the terms of Section 9.05 and (2) has been approved by the Required Banks, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and the Servicing Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 8.03 or Section 8.04) and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Servicing Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.06(b)(iv);

(ii) such Bank 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 (including any amounts under Section 2.15) 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);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 8.03 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 8.04, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from the failure to provide such approval, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 9.02 No Waivers. No failure or delay by any Agent or Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 9.03 Expenses, Indemnification; Limitation of Liability.

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agents, including reasonable fees and disbursements of one joint special counsel for the Agents, in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Agent and Bank, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent, Arranger and Bank and their respective Related Parties (each, an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (which shall be limited, in the case of any one proceeding or series of related proceedings, to the fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel to all Indemnitees (and if reasonably necessary, of one regulatory counsel and one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction), and solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest notified to the Borrower in writing, of one additional counsel (and if reasonably necessary, of one regulatory counsel and one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to all similarly situated Indemnitees)), which may be incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee in connection with

any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether such proceeding is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) brought or threatened, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Note or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder (i) for such Indemnitee’s or any of its Related Parties’ own gross negligence or willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement, in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, or (ii) in respect of any disputes between or among any Indemnitees other than an Indemnitee in its capacity as, or in fulfilling its role as, an Agent or an Arranger.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (i) the Borrower shall not assert against any Agent, Arranger or Bank or any of their respective Related Parties (each, a “Bank-Related Person”) and (ii) no Agent, Arranger or Bank shall assert against the Borrower, and each of the foregoing hereby waives, any claim, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which any Bank-Related Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder. The Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Bank-Related Person, on any theory of liability, for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including any personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Bank severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Bank’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Bank); provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity, or in fulfilling its role as such or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for such Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Banks under this paragraph (c) are several and not joint. For purposes of this paragraph, a Bank’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the aggregate outstanding Loans or unused Commitments at the time (or most recently outstanding or in effect).

Section 9.04 Sharing of Set-Offs. If any Bank shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Bank receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Bank receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Servicing Agent of such fact and

(b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Banks, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Banks 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 (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Bank), or (y) any payment obtained by a Bank 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 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 Bank 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 Bank were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 9.05 Amendments and Waivers. Except as provided in Section 8.01(b), any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and by the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of any Agent are affected thereby, by it); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by each affected Bank, (i) increase or extend the Commitment of any Bank, or change the currency in which Loans are available thereunder, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder (with any waiver of the default interest rate not to be considered a reduction of the interest rate or fees) or (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder (or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment) or for the termination of any Commitment; and provided further that, unless signed by all Banks, no such amendment or waiver shall (x) change the percentage set forth in the definition of Required Banks, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement or (y) change Section 9.04 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby or change Section 2.10 or 2.11 in a manner that would alter the requirement that any reduction of the Commitments thereunder be ratable as among the Banks.

Section 9.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all Banks, and no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in

accordance with the provisions of Sections 9.06(b) and (c), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 9.06(e) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 9.06(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Arrangers and the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agents, the Servicing Agent and the Banks) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Banks. Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more assignees 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); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in Section 9.06(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment or the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Servicing Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Servicing Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

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

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 9.06(b)(i)(B) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default arising under Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(g) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (y) any other Event of Default has occurred and has been continuing for at least 45 days as of the time of such assignment or (z) such assignment is to a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to

the Servicing Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B) the consent of each Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments to a Person that is not a Bank or an Affiliate of such Bank.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Servicing Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Servicing Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Bank, shall deliver to the Servicing Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or other Affiliates or (B) any Defaulting Bank or any of its subsidiaries, or any Person that, upon becoming a Bank hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

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

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Servicing Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Bank to the Servicing Agent and each other Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Servicing Agent pursuant to Section 9.06(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 8.03, 8.04 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring

prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank. Any assignment or transfer by a Bank 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 Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.06(d) and shall be subject to the Participant Register registration requirements set forth therein.

(c) Register. The Servicing Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Bank 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 Servicing Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Bank may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or any Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than (i) a natural person, (ii) a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or (iii) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or other Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Bank shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.03(c) with respect to any payments made by such Bank to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank 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 Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to the first proviso to Section 9.05 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 8.03 and 8.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections 8.04(c) through (f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 8.04(c) through (f) shall be delivered to the participating Bank)) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.06(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 8.03, 8.04 and 8.06 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 8.03 or 8.04, with respect to any participation, than its participating Bank would have been entitled to receive, except to the

extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.17 as though it were a Bank; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.04 as though it were a Bank. Each Bank 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 8.06 with respect to any Participant. Each Bank 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 no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations hereunder) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicing Agent (in its capacity as Servicing Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Bank 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 Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

Section 9.07 Confidentiality. The Agents and each Bank agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (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 regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (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 9.07, 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 party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii) any rating agency, or (iv) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) 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 Agents, any Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors and similar service providers to the lending industry in connection with the administration of this Agreement; provided such information is of the type routinely disclosed to such service providers and does not extend beyond the information disclosed in the Borrower’s filings with the Securities Exchange Commission. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Agents or any Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, 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 in this Section 9.07 shall prohibit any Agent or any Bank from voluntarily disclosing or providing any information within the scope of these confidentiality provisions to any Governmental Authority or self-regulatory organization to the extent that any such prohibition on disclosure set forth in this Section 9.07 shall be prohibited by the laws or regulations of, or applicable to, such Governmental Authority or self-regulatory organization.

Section 9.08 Collateral. Each of the Banks represents to each Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

Section 9.09 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each Note and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Borrower, any Administrative Agent, the Servicing Agent, any Bank or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or the transactions relating hereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation 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. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, litigation or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in this

Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action, litigation or proceeding in any such court. Each party hereto 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 hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

Section 9.10 Counterparts; Integration; Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

PRICING SCHEDULE

The “Applicable Margin” for Term Benchmark Loans and Base Rate Loans and the “Ticking Fee Rate” for any day are the respective percentages set forth below in the applicable row and column based upon the Status that exists on such day.

For purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the concluding paragraphs of this Schedule:

“Level I Status” exists at any date if, at such date, the rating of the Index Debt is at least BBB+ by S&P or Baa1 by Moody’s.

“Level II Status” exists at any date if, at such date, (i) the rating of the Index Debt is at least BBB by S&P or Baa2 by Moody’s and (ii) Level I Status does not exist.

“Level III Status” exists at any date if, at such date, (i) the rating of the Index Debt is at least BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moody’s and (ii) neither Level I Status nor Level II Status exists.

“Level IV Status” exists at any date if, at such date, no other Status exists.

“Status” refers to the determination of which of Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status or Level IV Status exists at any date.

For purposes of the foregoing, (i) if either Moody’s or S&P shall not have in effect a rating for the Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this paragraph), then the applicable Status shall be determined by reference to the remaining effective rating; (ii) if neither Moody’s nor S&P shall have in effect a rating for the Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this paragraph), then Level IV Status shall apply; (iii) if the ratings established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall fall within different Levels, the Applicable Margin and the Ticking Fee Rate shall be based on the higher of the two ratings unless one of the two ratings is two or more Levels lower than the other (with Level IV being lower than Level I), in which case the Applicable Margin and the Ticking Fee Rate shall be determined by reference to the Level next below that of the higher of the two ratings; and (iv) if the ratings established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Moody’s or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the third Business Day following the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency. Each change in the Applicable Margin and the Ticking Fee Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system

of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Banks shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Margin and the Ticking Fee Rate shall be determined by reference to the rating from such rating agency most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

I, the undersigned, solely in my capacity as the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower, and not in my individual capacity, pursuant to Section 3.02(f) of the Credit Agreement, do hereby certify that, on the date hereof after giving effect to the Specified Acquisition, the incurrence of the Loans under the Credit Agreement and the transactions related thereto:

(a)  the fair value of the property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) (it being understood that the amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability);

(b)  the present fair salable value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) on their debts as they become absolute and matured;

(c) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not intend to, and do not believe that they will, incur Debts or liabilities beyond their ability to pay such Debts and liabilities as they become absolute and matured; and

(d) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are not engaged in any business, as conducted on the Funding Date and as proposed to be conducted following the date hereof, for which the property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) would constitute an unreasonably small capital.
