The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented, extended, amended and restated or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s permitted successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this

Upon any such request for an amendment, the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree to consider in good faith any such amendment in order to amend the provisions of this Agreement so as to reflect equitably such accounting changes so that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such accounting changes as if such accounting changes had not occurred.

The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

(a)    In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one (1) year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one (1) year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the earliest Revolving Facility Maturity Date with respect to the applicable Revolving Commitments (provided that, to the extent that all of the participations in such Letter of Credit held by the holders of such Revolving Commitments have been re-allocated or Cash Collateralized pursuant to the terms of any Extension Agreement or Refinancing Amendment, such Revolving Commitments shall be disregarded for purposes of this clause (ii)); provided that a Letter of Credit may expire after such earlier date if requested by the Borrower and agreed in the sole discretion of the applicable Issuing Lender so long as, if such earlier date is determined pursuant to clause (ii) above, then on or prior to the date of the related issuance or renewal or extension, such Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender and with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(d)    Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit under the applicable Revolving Facility (or an amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit thereunder, including any amendment increasing the amount thereof), and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender or the Lenders, such Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Lender under such Revolving Facility, and each Lender under such Revolving Facility hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Dollar Amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Dollar Amount of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit
44

thereunder is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit thereunder or the occurrence of an Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments thereunder, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e)    Reimbursement. If an Issuing Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit thereunder, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such LC Disbursement or (subject to the two immediately succeeding sentences), with respect to any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, an amount equal to the amount of such LC Disbursement in the applicable Alternative Currency not later than the first Business Day following the date the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that, in the case of any LC Disbursement made in Dollars, to the extent not reimbursed and, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, including, without limitation, making a request in accordance with Section 2.03(a) that such payment shall be financed with an ABR Borrowing under the applicable Revolving Facility, as the case may be, in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing. If the Borrower’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Alternative Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender or any applicable Lender to any stamp, duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in Dollars, the Borrower shall pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Lender or Lender. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, then (i) if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no further action required, the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Amount of such LC Disbursement and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement and the Dollar Amount thereof.
If the Borrower fails to make any payment due under the preceding paragraph with respect to a Letter of Credit when due (including by a Borrowing), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility of the applicable LC Disbursement (as converted to Dollars, if applicable), the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility shall pay to the Administrative Agent its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Revolving Loans thereunder (or with respect to the LC Tranche Facility, as if Revolving Loans were available thereunder in the same manner as provided for in Section 2.04 with respect to the 2026 Revolving Facility) made by such Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the applicable Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(e) with respect to any LC Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Revolving Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f)    Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.02 shall be absolute, unconditional and
45

irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.02, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, nor the applicable Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the applicable Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(g)    Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Lender shall, promptly following its receipt thereof or within the time period stipulated by the terms and conditions of the applicable Letter of Credit (if any), examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. After such examination of such drawing documents, the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the applicable Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender and the Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility with respect to any such LC Disbursement in accordance with the terms herein.
(h)    Interim Interest. If the applicable Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse (including by a Borrowing) such LC Disbursement in full not later than the first Business Day following the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility (or with respect to the LC Tranche Facility, as if Revolving Loans were available thereunder in the same manner as provided for in Section 2.04 with respect to the 2026 Revolving Facility); provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section,
46

then Section 2.08 shall apply; provided further that, in the case of an LC Disbursement made under a Letter of Credit in an Alternative Currency, the amount of interest due with respect thereto shall (i) in the case of any LC Disbursement that is reimbursed on the Business Day immediately succeeding such LC Disbursement, (A) be payable in the applicable Alternative Currency and (B) if not reimbursed on the date of such LC Disbursement, bear interest at a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Lender to be the cost to such Issuing Lender of funding such LC Disbursement plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Letters of Credit under the applicable Revolving Facility at such time and (ii) in the case of any LC Disbursement that is reimbursed after the Business Day immediately succeeding such LC Disbursement (A) be payable in Dollars, (B) accrue on the Dollar Amount of such LC Disbursement and (C) bear interest as provided above. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to clause (e) of this Section 2.02 to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
(i)    Replacement of the Issuing Lender. Any Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility of any such replacement of the Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.21. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(j)    Replacement of Letters of Credit; Cash Collateralization. With respect to Letters of Credit issued under any Revolving Facility, the Borrower shall (i) upon or prior to the occurrence of the earlier of (A) the latest Revolving Facility Maturity Date with respect to all Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility and (B) the acceleration of the Revolving Loans (if any) under such Revolving Facility and the termination of the Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility in accordance with the terms hereof, (x) cause all Letters of Credit under such Revolving Facility which expire after the earlier to occur of (1) the latest Revolving Facility Maturity Date with respect to all Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility and (2) the acceleration of the Revolving Loans (if any) under such Revolving Facility and the termination of the Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility, in accordance with the terms hereof (the “Outstanding Letters of Credit”) to be returned to the applicable Issuing Lender undrawn and marked “cancelled” or (y) if the Borrower does not do so in whole or in part either (1) provide one or more “back-to-back” letters of credit to each applicable Issuing Lender with respect to any such Outstanding Letters of Credit in a form reasonably satisfactory to each such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent, issued by a bank reasonably satisfactory to each such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent, and/or (2) deposit cash in an account maintained with the Administrative Agent, as collateral security for the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in connection with any such Outstanding Letters of Credit, such cash (or any applicable portion thereof) to be promptly remitted to the Borrower (provided no Event of Default or event which upon notice or lapse of time or both would constitute an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing) upon the expiration, cancellation or other termination or satisfaction of the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect to such Outstanding Letters of Credit, in whole or in part; in an aggregate principal amount for all such “back-to-back” letters of credit and any such Cash Collateralization equal to the then outstanding amount
47

of all LC Exposure (less the amount, if any, on deposit in such account prior to taking any action pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) above), and (ii) if required pursuant to Section 2.02(m), 2.12(b), 2.26(b)(ii), 2.26(c)(ii), 2.26(d), 2.27(b) or 7.01 or pursuant to any Extension Agreement or Refinancing Amendment, deposit in such account an amount required pursuant to Section 2.02(m), 2.12(b), 2.26(b)(ii), 2.26(c)(ii), 2.26(d), 2.27(b) or 7.01, or pursuant to any such Extension Agreement or Refinancing Amendment, as applicable; provided that the portions of such amount attributable to undrawn Alternative Currency Letters of Credit or LC Disbursements in an Alternative Currency that the Borrower is not late in reimbursing shall be deposited in the applicable Alternative Currencies in the actual amounts of such undrawn Letters of Credit and LC Disbursements (any such deposit described in the preceding clause (i) or clause (ii), “Cash Collateralization”). The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent (in accordance with its usual and customary practices for investments of this type) and at the Borrower’s risk and reasonable expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time. If the Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateralization hereunder pursuant to Section 2.02(m), 2.12(b), 2.26(b)(ii), 2.26(c)(ii), 2.26(d) or 2.27(b), or the terms of any Extension Agreement or Refinancing Amendment, such Cash Collateralization (to the extent not applied as contemplated by the applicable section) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after the applicable section (or Extension Agreement or Refinancing Amendment, as applicable) no longer requires the provision of such Cash Collateralization.
(k)    Issuing Lender Agreements. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender under any Revolving Facility shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect of Letters of Credit thereunder during the immediately preceding week, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Lender expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed, or extended by it (and whether, subject to Section 2.02(b), the face amount of any such Letter of Credit was changed thereby) and the aggregate face amount of such Letters of Credit outstanding under any Revolving Facility after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Lender makes any LC Disbursement, the date of such LC Disbursement and the amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which a Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Lender on such day, the date of such failure, and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.
(l)    Conversion. In the event that the Revolving Loans under any Revolving Facility become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Section 7.01, all amounts (i) that the Borrower is at the time or thereafter becomes required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of LC Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit thereunder (other than amounts in respect of which the Borrower has deposited cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.02(j), if such cash collateral is deposited in the applicable Alternative Currency to the extent so deposited or applied), (ii) that the Lenders thereunder are at the time or thereafter become required to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent is at the time or thereafter becomes required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.02(e) in respect of unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit thereunder and
48

(iii) of each Lender’s participation in any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit under which an LC Disbursement thereunder has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Amount of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender or any Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility in respect of the Obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.
(m)    Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Commitments and Commitments in Respect of Refinancing Revolving Facilities. If the maturity date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit under the applicable Revolving Facility with respect to which Lenders holding such Revolving Commitments hold participation interests, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Revolving Commitments in respect of which the maturity date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders under such Revolving Facility to purchase participations therein and to make payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.02(d) or (e) and for any reallocations required pursuant to Section 2.26(b)(i)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders thereunder pursuant to) the Revolving Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall cash collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.02(j). For the avoidance of doubt, commencing with the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Commitments under the applicable Revolving Facility, the sublimit for Letters of Credit under any tranche of Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility that has not so then matured shall be as agreed in the relevant Extension Agreement or Refinancing Amendment, as applicable, with such Lenders (to the extent such Extension Agreement or Refinancing Amendment so provides).
(n)    Existing Letters of Credit. The Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed Letters of Credit under the LC Tranche Facility issued under this Section 2.02 and subject to the provisions hereof, without the need for any further action by the Borrower or any other Person (and without the payment of any fees otherwise due upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit).
SECTION 2.03.    Requests for Borrowings.
(a)    Unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent in connection with making the initial Revolving Loans on the Restatement Effective Date, if any, to request a Borrowing of Revolving Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (i) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of an ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.02(e) may be given not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01(a):
(i)    the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing (which shall comply with Section 2.01(c));
49

(ii)    the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)    whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Term Benchmark Borrowing;
(iv)    whether such Borrowing is under the 2026 Revolving Facility or the 2028 Revolving Facility; and
(v)    in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term Benchmark Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03(a), the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan under such Revolving Facility to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
SECTION 2.04.    Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, or such earlier time as may be reasonably practicable, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, the Administrative Agent will make such Revolving Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.02(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Lender.
(b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing (or, with respect to any ABR Borrowing made on same-day notice, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraphs (a) and/or (b) of this Section 2.04 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith upon written demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in such Borrowing.
SECTION 2.05.    Interest Elections. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to, (i) convert ABR Revolving Loans to Term Benchmark Revolving Loans, (ii) convert Term Benchmark Revolving Loans to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that any such conversion of Term Benchmark Revolving Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (iii)
50

continue any Term Benchmark Revolving Loan as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.
(b)    To make an Interest Election Request pursuant to this Section 2.05, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03(a) if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.
(c)    Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01:
(i)    the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies (including whether such Borrowing is under the 2026 Revolving Facility or the 2028 Revolving Facility) and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii)    the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)    whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Term Benchmark Borrowing; and
(iv)    if the resulting Borrowing is a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e)    If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and upon the request of the Required Lenders, (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Term Benchmark Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
SECTION 2.06.    [Reserved].
SECTION 2.07.    Interest on Revolving Loans.
51

(a)    Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, each ABR Revolving Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of three hundred sixty (360) days or, when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, a year with three hundred sixty five (365) days or three hundred sixty six (366) days in a leap year) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)    Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, each Term Benchmark Revolving Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of three hundred sixty (360) days) at a rate per annum equal, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.
(c)    Accrued interest on all Revolving Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, on the Termination Date with respect to such Revolving Loans or the related Revolving Commitments and thereafter on written demand and (with respect to Term Benchmark Revolving Loans) upon any repayment or prepayment thereof (on the amount repaid or prepaid); provided that in the event of any conversion of any Term Benchmark Revolving Loan to an ABR Revolving Loan, accrued interest on such Revolving Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
SECTION 2.08.    Default Interest. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Revolving Loan or in the payment of any fee becoming due hereunder or in the reimbursement pursuant to Section 2.02(e) of any LC Disbursement, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall on written demand of the Administrative Agent (which written demand shall be given at the request of the Required Lenders) from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on all overdue amounts up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of three hundred sixty (360) days or, when the Alternate Base Rate is applicable and is based on the Prime Rate, a year of three hundred sixty five (365) days or three hundred sixty six (366) days in a leap year) equal to (a) with respect to the principal amount of any Revolving Loan, the rate then applicable for such Borrowings plus 2.0%, and (b) with respect to interest, fees and reimbursement of LC Disbursements, the rate applicable for ABR Revolving Loans plus 2.0%.
SECTION 2.09.    Alternate Rate of Interest.
(a)    Subject to Sections 2.09(b)-(f), in the event, and on each occasion, that prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, (A) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period or (B) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Revolving Loans (or its Revolving Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written, facsimile or telegraphic notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders and, until the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Borrowing of Term Benchmark Revolving Loans hereunder (including pursuant to a refinancing with Term Benchmark Revolving Loans and including any request to continue, or to convert to, Term Benchmark Revolving Loans) shall be deemed a request for a Borrowing of ABR Revolving Loans; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time.
52

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, 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 if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(d)    The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.09, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.09.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
53

(f)    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 Revolving Loans, as applicable, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (i) 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 ABR Loans or (ii) any Term Benchmark Borrowing shall be ineffective. 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 Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Revolving Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Revolving Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.09, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Revolving Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Revolving Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan on such day.
SECTION 2.10.    Repayment of Revolving Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a)    The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan then outstanding on the Termination Date applicable to such Revolving Loan.
(b)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Revolving Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts for each Revolving Facility in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Revolving Loan made hereunder under such Revolving Facility, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder under such Revolving Facility and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders under such Revolving Facility and each Lender’s share thereof. The Borrower shall have the right, upon reasonable notice, to request information regarding the accounts referred to in the preceding sentence.
(d)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e)    Any Lender may request that Revolving Loans made by it under any Revolving Facility be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a form furnished by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Thereafter, the Revolving Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.02) be

represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
SECTION 2.11.    Optional Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. Upon at least one (1) Business Day prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Unused Total Revolving Commitment under any Revolving Facility; provided that each such notice shall be revocable to the extent such termination or reduction would have resulted from a refinancing of the Obligations, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. Each such reduction of the Unused Total Revolving Commitment under any Revolving Facility shall be in the principal amount not less than $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $1,000,000. Simultaneously with each reduction or termination of the applicable Revolving Commitment, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility the Commitment Fee accrued and unpaid on the amount of the applicable Revolving Commitment of such Lender so terminated or reduced through the date thereof. Any reduction of the Total Revolving Commitment under the applicable Revolving Facility pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied to reduce the Revolving Commitment under such Revolving Facility of each Lender on a pro rata basis.
SECTION 2.12.    Mandatory Prepayment of Revolving Loans and Mandatory Commitment Reductions; Commitment Termination.
(a)    The Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans under any Revolving Facility (without any corresponding reduction in Revolving Commitments) in an amount necessary to comply with (x) prior to the Collateral Release Date, Section 6.03 and (y) on and after the Collateral Release Date, Section 6.04(a), in each case as directed by the Borrower.
(b)    If at any time the Total 2026 Revolving Extensions of Credit for any reason exceed the Total 2026 Revolving Commitment at such time or the Total 2028 Revolving Extensions of Credit for any reason exceed the Total 2028 Revolving Commitment at such time, the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility on a pro rata basis in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility, the Total 2026 Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the Total 2026 Revolving Commitment then in effect or the Total 2028 Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the Total 2028 Revolving Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit under the applicable Revolving Facility to the extent of such excess.
(c)    Upon the Termination Date applicable to any Revolving Commitment, such Revolving Commitment shall be terminated in full and the Borrower shall repay the applicable Revolving Loans in full and, except as the Administrative Agent may otherwise agree in writing, if any Letter of Credit remains outstanding under the applicable Revolving Facility, comply with Section 2.02(j) in accordance therewith.
(d)    All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid to (but not including) the date of prepayment, plus any Fees and any losses, costs and expenses, as more fully described in Section 2.15 and 2.19 hereof.
SECTION 2.13.    Optional Prepayment of Revolving Loans.
(a)    The Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to prepay any Revolving Loans under any Revolving Facility, in whole or in part, (i) with respect to Term Benchmark Revolving Loans, upon (A) telephonic notice followed promptly by written or facsimile
55

notice or (B) written or facsimile notice received by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of prepayment and (ii) with respect to ABR Revolving Loans, upon written or facsimile notice received by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed date of prepayment; provided that ABR Revolving Loans may be prepaid on the same day notice is given if such notice is received by the Administrative Agent by 12:00 noon, New York City time; provided, further, however, that (A) each such partial prepayment shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000, (B) no prepayment of Term Benchmark Revolving Loans shall be permitted pursuant to this Section 2.13(a) other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless such prepayment is accompanied by the payment of the amounts described in Section 2.15, and (C) no partial prepayment of a Borrowing of Term Benchmark Revolving Loans shall result in the aggregate principal amount of such Term Benchmark Revolving Loans remaining outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing being less than $5,000,000.
(b)    All prepayments under Section 2.13(a) shall be accompanied by accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid to (but not including) the date of prepayment, plus any Fees and any losses, costs and expenses, as more fully described in Sections 2.15 and 2.19 hereof.
(c)    Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the applicable Revolving Facility, the principal amount of the Revolving Loans thereunder to be prepaid and, in the case of Term Benchmark Revolving Loans, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which made, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Revolving Loan by the amount and on the date stated therein; provided that the Borrower may revoke any notice of prepayment under this Section 2.13 if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of any or all of the Obligations hereunder, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receiving notice from the Borrower hereunder, notify each Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility of the principal amount of the Revolving Loans held by such Lender which are to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the manner of application of the prepayment.
SECTION 2.14.    Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    subject any Lender or Issuing Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes or (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(ii)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or Issuing Lender; or
(iii)    impose on any Lender or Issuing Lender or the applicable offshore interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Revolving Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of converting any ABR Revolving Loan to a Term Benchmark Revolving Loan or making, maintaining or continuing any Term Benchmark Revolving Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Revolving Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
56

(b)    If any Lender or Issuing Lender reasonably determines in good faith that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Revolving Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts, in each case as documented by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the Borrower as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; it being understood that to the extent duplicative of the provisions in Section 2.16, this Section 2.14(b) shall not apply to Taxes.
(c)    A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The protection of this Section 2.14 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention as to the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed.
(e)    Any determination by a Lender or Issuing Lender of amounts owed pursuant to this Section 2.14 to such Lender or Issuing Lender due to any Change in Law, pursuant to the proviso in the definition thereof shall be made in good faith in a manner generally consistent with such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s standard practice.
SECTION 2.15.    Break Funding Payments. Other than with respect to Loans that bear interest with reference to Daily Simple SOFR, in the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark Revolving Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default), (b) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term Benchmark Revolving Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (c) the assignment of any Term Benchmark Revolving Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18 or Section 10.08(d), then, in any such event, at the request of such Lender, the Borrower shall compensate such Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined in good faith by such Lender or Issuing Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Revolving Loan had such event not occurred, at the applicable rate of
57

interest for such Revolving Loan (excluding, however the Applicable Margin included therein, if any), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Revolving Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for a comparable amount and period from other banks in the applicable market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.
SECTION 2.16.    Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Indemnified Tax or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to a Recipient, as determined in good faith by the applicable Withholding Agent, then (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16), such Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b)    In addition (and without duplication of any payments with respect to Other Taxes pursuant to Section 2.16(a)), the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c)    The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by or on behalf of such Recipient on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. After a Recipient learns of the imposition of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, such party will act in good faith to notify the Borrower promptly of its obligations thereunder. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment to the extent available, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e)    Each Lender and Issuing Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.02(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent
58

in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or Issuing Lender (as the case may be) by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender or Issuing Lender (as the case may be) from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or requested by the Borrower as will (i) enable the Borrower to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements, and (ii) permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 2.16(f) that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(g)    (i) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.16(f),
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (and the Borrower at its request) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when the previously delivered certificates and/or forms expire, or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) (and the Borrower at its request) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when the previously delivered certificates and/or forms expire, or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable;
(2)    executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI;
(3)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the Form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that (i) such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, and (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (ii) the interest payments in question are not effectively connected with the United States trade or business conducted by such Lender (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and
59

(y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable;
(4)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or participating bank granting a typical participation), an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or C-3 (as applicable), Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating bank) and one or more beneficial owners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such beneficial owner; or
(5)    any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
If the Administrative Agent is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent (and from time to time thereafter when the previously delivered forms expire, or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.
The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(ii)    If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (2), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(h)    If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over an amount equal to such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the
60

Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund (including Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) 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 the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (h) if, and then only to the extent, the payment of such amount would place the Administrative Agent or Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
SECTION 2.17.    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment.
(a)    The Borrower shall make each payment or prepayment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 383 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10179, pursuant to wire instructions to be provided by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 10.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in the applicable currency.
(b)    If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all Obligations then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of Fees and expenses then due under Sections 2.19 and 10.04 payable to the Administrative Agent, (ii) second, towards payment of Fees and expenses then due under Sections 2.20, 2.21 and 10.04 payable to the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders and towards payment of interest then due on account of the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of such Fees and expenses and interest then due to such parties and (iii) third, towards payment of (A) principal of the Revolving Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, (B) any Designated Banking Product Obligations then due, to the extent such Designated Banking Product Obligations constitute “Obligations” hereunder, and (C) any Designated Hedging Obligations then due, to the extent such Designated Hedging Obligations constitute “Obligations” hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, and unreimbursed LC Disbursements, Designated Banking Product Obligations constituting Obligations and Designated Hedging Obligations constituting Obligations then due to such parties.
(c)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders
61

or the Issuing Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(d)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(d), 2.02(e), 2.04(a), 8.04 or 10.04(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
(e)    Pro Rata Treatment. (i) Each payment by the Borrower of interest in respect of the Revolving Loans of any Class shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders of such Class pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.
(ii)    Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of the Revolving Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Lenders under such Revolving Facility.
SECTION 2.18.    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount or indemnification payment to any Lender under Section 2.14 or to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Revolving Loans hereunder, to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates or to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation, assignment or filing (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense (other than immaterial costs and expenses) and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    If, after the date hereof, any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14 or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.02), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts due, owing and payable to it hereunder at such time, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16,
62

such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
(c)    Each party hereto agrees that (a) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 2.18 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and (b) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender; provided, further, that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.
SECTION 2.19.    Certain Fees. The Borrower shall pay (a) to the Lenders (or their affiliates) party thereto the fees set forth in that certain Upfront Fee Letter dated as of October 2, 2023 between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and (b) to the Administrative Agent the fees set forth in that certain Administrative Agent Fee Letter dated as of October 2, 2023 between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, in each case at the times set forth therein.
SECTION 2.20.    Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders under each Revolving Facility a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for the period commencing on the Restatement Effective Date to the applicable Termination Date or the earlier date of termination of the applicable Revolving Commitment under such Revolving Facility, computed (on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of three hundred sixty (360) days) at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily Unused Total Revolving Commitment with respect to such Revolving Facility. Such Commitment Fee, to the extent then accrued, shall be payable (a) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (b) on the LC Tranche Facility Termination Date with respect to the LC Tranche Commitments, on the 2026 Revolving Facility Termination Date with respect to the 2026 Revolving Commitments and on the 2028 Revolving Facility Termination Date with respect to the 2028 Revolving Commitments, and (c) as provided in Section 2.11 hereof, upon any reduction or termination in whole or in part of the Total LC Tranche Commitment, Total 2026 Revolving Commitment or the Total 2028 Revolving Commitment, as applicable.
SECTION 2.21.    Letter of Credit Fees(a)    . The Borrower shall pay with respect to each Letter of Credit under the applicable Revolving Facility (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders under such Revolving Facility a fee calculated (on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of three hundred sixty (360) days) at the per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin applicable to Letters of Credit under the applicable Revolving Facility at such time excluding, in each case, any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements, to be shared ratably among the Lenders under such Revolving Facility and (ii) to each Issuing Lender (with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it), such Issuing Lender’s customary fees for issuance, amendments and processing referred to in Section 2.02. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay each Issuing Lender for its account a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination of such Letter of Credit. Accrued fees described in this paragraph in respect of each Letter of Credit under the applicable Revolving Facility shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the LC Tranche Facility Termination Date with respect to LC Tranche Commitments, the 2026 Revolving Facility Termination

Date with respect to 2026 Revolving Commitments and on the 2028 Revolving Facility Termination Date with respect to 2028 Revolving Commitments.
SECTION 2.22.    Nature of Fees. All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers, as applicable, as provided herein and in the fee letters described in Section 2.19. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.
SECTION 2.23.    Right of Set-Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(b), the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and their respective banking Affiliates) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding deposits in the Escrow Accounts, Payroll Accounts and other accounts, in each case, held in trust for an identified beneficiary) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative Agent and each such Lender (or any of such banking Affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of any such overdue amounts owing to such Lender (or any of such banking Affiliates) or the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under any Loan Document; provided that each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application; provided, further, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.26(e) and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agree promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (or any of such banking Affiliates), as the case may be; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender and the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.23 are in addition to other rights and remedies which such Lender and the Administrative Agent may have upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.
SECTION 2.24.    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or other Obligation owing under this Agreement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan or other Obligation under applicable law (collectively, “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender or other Person holding such Loan or other Obligation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or other Obligation hereunder, together with all charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. To the extent lawful, the interest and charges that would have been paid in respect of such Loan or other Obligation but were not paid as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and charges payable to such Lender or other Person in respect of other Loans or Obligations or periods shall be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender or other Person. Any amount collected by such Lender or other Person that exceeds the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of such Loan or other Obligation or refunded to the Borrower so that at no time shall the interest and charges paid
64

or payable in respect of such Loan or other Obligation exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate.
SECTION 2.25.    Payment of Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, upon the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of any of the Obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents of the Borrower, the Lenders shall be entitled to immediate payment of such Obligations.
SECTION 2.26.    Defaulting Lenders. (a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fees accruing pursuant to Section 2.20 and 2.21 during the period that such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees); provided that (1) to the extent that all or a portion of the LC Exposure with respect to a Revolving Facility of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Revolving Facility pursuant to Section 2.26(b)(i), such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender shall instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility, and (2) to the extent that all or any portion of such LC Exposure cannot be so reallocated and is not Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.26(b)(ii), such fees shall instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the Issuing Lenders as their interests appear (and the applicable pro rata payment provisions under this Agreement shall automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section).
(b)    If any LC Exposure with respect to a Revolving Facility exists at the time a Lender under such Revolving Facility becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i)    the LC Exposure under such Revolving Facility of such Defaulting Lender will, upon notice by the Administrative Agent, and subject in any event to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Revolving Facility pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments thereunder; provided that (A) the Revolving Extensions of Credit under such Revolving Facility of each such Non-Defaulting Lender may not in any event exceed the Revolving Commitment under such Revolving Facility of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation, (B) subject to Section 10.16, such reallocation will not constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation and (C) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result thereof will cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; and
(ii)    to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure under the applicable Revolving Facility cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrower will, not later than three (3) Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent, (A) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders in respect of such LC Exposure in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such LC Exposure or (B) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender.
(c)    In addition to the other conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement, if any Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting
65

Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit or to amend any outstanding Letter of Credit under such Revolving Facility, unless:
(i)    in the case of a Defaulting Lender, the LC Exposure under such Revolving Facility of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated, as to outstanding and future Letters of Credit, to the Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Revolving Facility as provided in Section 2.26(b)(i), and
(ii)    to the extent full reallocation does not occur as provided in clause (i) above, without limiting the provisions of Section 2.26(d), the Borrower Cash Collateralizes the obligations of the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit, or makes other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lenders in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender, or
(iii)    to the extent that neither reallocation nor Cash Collateralization occurs pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii), then in the case of a proposed issuance of a Letter of Credit under the applicable Revolving Facility, by an instrument or instruments in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, (A) the Borrower agrees that the face amount of such requested Letter of Credit will be reduced by an amount equal to the portion thereof as to which such Defaulting Lender would otherwise be liable, and (B) the Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Revolving Facility confirm, in their discretion, that their obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and that the applicable pro rata payment provisions under this Agreement will be deemed adjusted to reflect this provision (provided that nothing in this clause (iii) will be deemed to increase the Revolving Commitments of any Lender, nor to constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender, nor to cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender).
(d)    If any Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender and if any Letter of Credit under such Revolving Facility is at the time outstanding, the applicable Issuing Lender may (except to the extent the applicable Revolving Commitments of such Defaulting Lender have been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.26(b)(i)), by notice to the Borrower and such Defaulting Lender through the Administrative Agent, require the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to such Issuing Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect thereof, or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender.
(e)    Any amount paid by the Borrower or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Revolving Facility under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but shall instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account until (subject to Section 2.26(f)) the termination of the applicable Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder under the applicable Revolving Facility and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: First to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under the applicable Revolving Facility, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the
66

Issuing Lenders under this Agreement under the applicable Revolving Facility, third to the payment of the default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders which are Non-Defaulting Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements under the applicable Revolving Facility then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Revolving Facility hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility, and seventh after the termination of the applicable Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower under the applicable Revolving Facility, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
(f)    If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders agree in writing that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the Lenders, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.26(e)), such Lender shall purchase at par such portions of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders under such applicable Revolving Facility, and/or make such other adjustments, as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Lenders to hold Revolving Loans under each such Revolving Facility on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective applicable Revolving Commitments, whereupon such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and the LC Exposure under each such Revolving Facility of each Lender shall automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no adjustments shall be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) any Lender that is an Issuing Lender hereunder may not be replaced in its capacity as an Issuing Lender at any time that it has a Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Lender have been made with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit and (y) the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 8.05.
SECTION 2.27.    Currency Equivalents.
(a)    The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Amount of (x) the LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency based on the Exchange Rate (i) as of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower and (ii) on or about the date of the related notice requesting the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (y) any other amount to be converted into Dollars in accordance with the provisions hereof at the time of such conversion.
(b)    If, after giving effect to any such determination of a Dollar Amount, the LC Exposure under the LC Tranche Facility, the 2026 Revolving Facility or the 2028 Revolving Facility, as applicable, exceeds 105% of the LC Tranche Commitments, 2026 LC Sublimit or the 2028 LC Sublimit, as applicable, the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent setting forth such calculation in reasonable detail, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.02(j)(ii) in an amount equal to such excess.
67

SECTION 2.28.    Increase in Commitments.
(a)    Borrower Request. The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request an increase to the existing LC Tranche Commitments, the 2026 Revolving Commitments and/or 2028 Revolving Commitments (each, a “Revolving Commitment Increase” and the commitments thereunder, the “Incremental Commitments”) in an amount not less than (x) with respect to the LC Tranche Commitments, $1,000,000 and (y) with respect to the 2026 Revolving Commitments and/or the 2028 Revolving Commitments, $25,000,000, in each case, individually from one or more Incremental Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Commitments in their sole discretion; provided that each Incremental Lender (which is not an existing Lender) shall be subject to the approval requirements of Section 10.02. Each such notice shall specify (i) whether such Incremental Commitments are to be established under the LC Tranche Facility, the 2026 Revolving Facility or the 2028 Revolving Facility, (ii) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the increased or new Revolving Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its sole discretion) and (iii) the identity of each Eligible Assignee to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations (each provider of the Incremental Commitments referred to herein as an “Incremental Lender”); provided that any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the increased or new Revolving Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increased or new Revolving Commitment.
(b)    Conditions. The Incremental Commitments shall become effective, as of such Increase Effective Date; provided that:
(i)    each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than, with respect to Section 4.02(b), the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.04(b) and 3.06(a)) shall be satisfied;
(ii)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the Borrowings to be made on the Increase Effective Date;
(iii)    prior to the Collateral Release Date, after giving pro forma effect to the Revolving Extensions of Credit to be made on the Increase Effective Date, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the Collateral Coverage Test, for the avoidance of doubt, without giving effect to any Collateral Coverage Ratio Cure Period;
(iv)    the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.15 in connection with any adjustment of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.28(d); and
(v)    after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase, the Total Revolving Commitment shall not in the aggregate exceed $3,650,000,000.
(c)    Terms of Incremental Commitments. The terms and provisions of Revolving Loans made pursuant to the Incremental Commitments shall be identical to any Class of existing Revolving Commitments.
The Incremental Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Incremental Lender making such Incremental Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them. The Increase
68

Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.28. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in Loan Documents to Revolving Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Revolving Loans made pursuant to Incremental Commitments made pursuant to this Agreement.
(d)    Adjustment of Revolving Loans. Each Incremental Lender that is acquiring a new or additional Revolving Commitment on the Increase Effective Date shall make a Revolving Loan under the applicable Revolving Facility, the proceeds of which will be used to prepay the Revolving Loans under such Revolving Facility (if any) of the other Lenders immediately prior to such Increase Effective Date so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loans outstanding under such Revolving Facility are held by the Lenders pro rata based on their Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase. If there is a new Borrowing of Revolving Loans under such Revolving Facility on such Increase Effective Date, the Lenders under such Revolving Facility after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase shall make such Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.01(a).
SECTION 2.29.    Extension of Revolving Commitments.
(a)    The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time (but in no event more than once in any calendar year with respect to each Revolving Facility), request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments of a given Class be amended to extend the maturity date with respect to all or a portion of such Revolving Commitments by a period of one (1) year (each, an “Extension Request”), which such Extension Request shall include (i) the applicable Class of Revolving Commitments requested to be extended and (ii) the proposed date of effectiveness of such extension (the “Extension Date”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Class of such request, and each such Lender shall in turn, in its sole discretion, not later than thirty (30) days of receipt of such notification from the Administrative Agent, notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing as to whether such Lender will consent to such extension. If any Lender shall fail to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of its consent to any such request for extension of such maturity date within such thirty (30) day period, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender and only the Revolving Commitments of such Class of those Lenders which have responded affirmatively (each such Lender, an “Extending Lender”) shall be extended, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 2.29(b) (any such Revolving Commitments so extended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”).
(b)    The applicable Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall become effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of counterparts of an Extension Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto (the “Extension Agreement”) duly completed and signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each of the Extending Lenders with respect to the applicable Extension Request; provided that:
(i)    each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than, with respect to Section 4.02(b), the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.04(b) and 3.06(a)) shall be satisfied;
(ii)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such extension of Revolving Commitments; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt (x) prior to the Collateral Release Date, no Default or Event of Default in respect of Section 6.03 shall have occurred and be continuing nor result from the making of such Borrowing on and as of
69

the applicable Increase Effective Date, without giving effect to any Collateral Coverage Ratio Cure Period and (y) on and after the Collateral Release Date, no Default or Event of Default in respect of Section 6.04(a) shall have occurred and be continuing nor result from the making of such Borrowing on and as of the applicable Increase Effective Date, without giving effect to any Asset Coverage Ratio Cure Period; and
(iii)    (x) with respect to any Extension Request under the LC Tranche Facility, the extended maturity date thereunder shall not be a date later than the third anniversary of the applicable Extension Date, (y) with respect to any Extension Request under the 2026 Revolving Facility, the extended maturity date thereunder shall not be a date later than the third anniversary of the applicable Extension Date and (z) with respect to any Extension Request under the 2028 Revolving Facility, the extended maturity date thereunder shall not be a date later than the fifth anniversary of the applicable Extension Date.
(c)    No extension of any Class of Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.29 shall be legally binding on any party hereto unless and until such Extension Agreement is so executed and delivered by Lenders having greater than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class. The Borrower may obtain the signatures of Lenders having greater than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class by requiring any Lender that has failed to consent to such Extension Agreement (such Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”) to assign its Revolving Loans and its Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to (x) the Administrative Agent (unless such assignee is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) and (y) each Issuing Lender (unless such assignee is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender); provided that: (i) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Extending Lender of such Class being replaced shall be paid in full in same day funds to such Non-Extending Lender concurrently with such assignment, (ii) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Extending Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and the replacement Lender or, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay any amount required by Section 2.15, if applicable and (iii) the replacement Lender shall execute and deliver such Extension Agreement. No action by or consent of any Non-Extending Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Extending Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 10.02; provided that if such Non-Extending Lender does not comply with Section 10.02 within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 10.02 (but only on the part of the Non-Extending Lender) shall not be required to effect such assignment.
(d)    If any Lender rejects, or is deemed to have rejected, the Borrower’s proposal to extend its Revolving Commitment of any Class, (i) this Agreement shall terminate on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date then in effect with respect to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment of such Class, (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Lender on such Revolving Facility Maturity Date any amounts due and payable to such Lender with respect its Revolving Commitment of such Class on such date and (iii) the Borrower may, if it so elects, designate a Person not theretofore a Lender and reasonably acceptable the Administrative Agent (unless such Person is an Affiliate of a Lender) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and each Issuing Lender (unless such Person is an Affiliate of a Lender) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to become a Lender, or agree with an existing Lender that such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment shall be increased; provided that any designation or agreement may not increase the Total Revolving Commitment; provided, further, that any Non-Extending Lender (including any direct or indirect assignee of any Non-Extending Lender) may, with the written consent of the Borrower, elect at any time prior to the applicable Revolving Facility Maturity Date then applicable to its Revolving Commitments of such Class to consent to the Borrower’s
70

prior Extension Request by delivering a written notice to such effect to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and upon the receipt by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such notice, the applicable Revolving Facility Maturity Date of each such Non-Extending Lender shall be extended to the date indicated in the applicable Extension Request and such Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to be an Extending Lender for all purposes hereunder. On the date of termination of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment of the applicable Class as contemplated by this subsection (d), the respective participations of the other Lenders in all outstanding Letters of Credit under the applicable Class shall be redetermined on the basis of their respective Revolving Commitments with respect to such Class after giving effect to such termination, and the participation therein of the Lender whose Revolving Commitment of the applicable Class is terminated shall terminate; provided that the Borrower shall, if and to the extent necessary to permit such redetermination of participations in Letters of Credit under the applicable Revolving Facility within the limits of the Revolving Commitments which are not terminated, prepay on such date a portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility, and such redetermination and termination of participations in outstanding Letters of Credit shall be conditioned upon its having done so.
(e)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the effectiveness of each Extension Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.29.
SECTION 3.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
In order to induce the Lenders to make Revolving Loans and issue and/or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder, the Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
SECTION 3.01.    Organization and Authority. (a) The Borrower and each of its Material Subsidiaries are duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of their organization and are duly qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) the Borrower has the requisite corporate or limited liability company power and authority to effect the Transactions, and (c) the Borrower and each of its Material Subsidiaries have all requisite power and authority and the legal right to own or lease and operate their properties, pledge the Collateral and to conduct their business as now or currently proposed to be conducted.

The Borrower possesses all necessary certificates, franchises, licenses, permits, rights, designations, authorizations, exemptions, concessions, frequencies and consents which relate to the operation of the routes flown by it and the conduct of its business and operations as currently conducted except where failure to so possess would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

T, U or X of the Board), or any order or decree of any court or Governmental Authority, other than violations by the Borrower which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (iii) conflict with or result in a breach of, constitute a default under, or create an adverse liability or rights under, any material indenture, mortgage or deed of trust or any material lease, agreement or other instrument binding on the Borrower or any of its properties, which, in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (b) do not require the consent, authorization by or approval of or notice to or filing or registration with any Governmental Authority or any other Person, other than (i) approvals, consents and exemptions that have been obtained on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date and remain in full force and effect and (ii) consents, approvals and exemptions that the failure to obtain in the aggregate would not be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower. This Agreement is, and each of the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower is or will be a party, when delivered hereunder or thereunder, will be, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
SECTION 3.04.    Financial Statements; Material Adverse Change.

SECTION 8.

THE AGENTS
SECTION 8.01.    Administration by Agents. (a) Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent to act on its behalf as the collateral agent hereunder and under the Collateral Documents and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
(b)    Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Lender hereby authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and in their sole discretion:
(i)    in connection with (x) the sale or other disposition of any Collateral or (y) any release of a Lien (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Collateral Release Date), in each case, to the extent permitted by the express terms of this Agreement, to release a Lien granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on such asset and, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection therewith the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall execute, and are hereby authorized by the Lenders and Issuing Lenders to execute, any customary Collateral release documentation as reasonably requested by the Borrower;
(ii)    with respect to the Administrative Agent only, to determine that the cost to the Borrower is disproportionate to the benefit to be realized by the Secured Parties by perfecting a Lien in a given asset or group of assets included in the Collateral and that should not be required to perfect such Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and
(iii)    to enter into the other Loan Documents on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent and to perform its respective obligations thereunder to enter into any other agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent granting Liens to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on any assets of the Borrower to secure the Obligations; and
(iv)    to enter into intercreditor and/or subordination agreements in accordance with Section 6.01 on terms reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and to perform its obligations thereunder and to take such action and to exercise the powers, rights and remedies granted to it thereunder and with respect thereto.
(c)    Each of the parties hereto agrees that upon (x) the date that the Discharge of Secured Obligations occurs or (y) the Collateral Release Date, each of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released
91

without any further action by any Person and, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection therewith the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall execute, and are hereby authorized by the Lenders and Issuing Lenders to execute, any customary Collateral release documentation as reasonably requested by the Borrower.
(d)    It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative 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.
SECTION 8.02.    Rights of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Any institution serving as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in their respective capacities as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent and such bank and its respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder.
SECTION 8.03.    Liability of Agents.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral 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.
(c)    Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its respective duties and exercise its respective rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such agent. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through its Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.
SECTION 8.04.    Reimbursement and Indemnification. Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse on demand the Administrative Agent (and the Collateral Agent) for such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage of any expenses and fees incurred for the benefit of the Lenders under this Agreement and any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, and any other expense incurred in connection with the operations or enforcement thereof, not reimbursed by the Borrower and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and any of their Related Parties, on demand, in the amount equal to such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower (except such as shall result from its gross negligence or willful misconduct).
SECTION 8.05.    Successor Agents. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor agent as provided in this paragraph, each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent (provided no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing) of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, on behalf
93

of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent which shall be a bank institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.

The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, their respective sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as an Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.
SECTION 8.06.    Independent Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and other facilities set forth herein and (ii) in participating as a Lender, it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of investing in the general performance or operations of the Borrower, or for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument such as a security (and each Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing, such as a claim under the federal or state securities laws).
SECTION 8.07.    Advances and Payments.
(a)    On the date of each Revolving Loan, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (but not obligated) to advance, for the account of each of the Lenders, the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made by it in accordance with its 2026 Revolving Commitment or 2028 Revolving Commitment, as applicable, hereunder. Should the Administrative Agent do so, each of the Lenders agrees forthwith to reimburse the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the amount so advanced on its behalf by the Administrative Agent, together with interest at the NYFRB Rate if not so reimbursed on the date due from and including such date but not including the date of reimbursement.
(b)    Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement (other than amounts to which the Administrative Agent is entitled pursuant to Sections 2.18, 2.19, 8.04 and 10.04), the application of which is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement, shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.17(b). All amounts to be paid to a Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be credited to that Lender, after collection by the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds either by wire transfer or deposit in that Lender’s correspondent account with the Administrative Agent, as such Lender and the Administrative Agent shall from time to time agree.
SECTION 8.08.    Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that, except to the extent this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Revolving Facility, if it shall, through the exercise either by it or any of its banking Affiliates
94

of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower, including, but not limited to, a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim and received by such Lender (or any of its banking Affiliates) under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of its Revolving Loans or LC Exposure under such Revolving Facility as a result of which the unpaid portion of its Revolving Loans or LC Exposure thereunder is proportionately less than the unpaid portion of the Revolving Loans or LC Exposure thereunder of any other Lender (a) it shall promptly purchase at par (and shall be deemed to have thereupon purchased) from such other Lender a participation in the Revolving Loans or LC Exposure thereunder of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each Lender’s Revolving Loans and LC Exposure under such Revolving Facility and its participation in Revolving Loans and LC Exposure under such Revolving Facility of the other Lenders shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and LC Exposure, in each case under such Revolving Facility, as the principal amount of its Revolving Loans and LC Exposure under such Revolving Facility prior to the obtaining of such payment was to the principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding and LC Exposure, in each case under such Revolving Facility, prior to the obtaining of such payment and (b) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that the Lenders under such Revolving Facility share such payment pro-rata; provided that if any such non-pro-rata payment is thereafter recovered or otherwise set aside, such purchase of participations shall be rescinded (without interest). The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender holding (or deemed to be holding) a participation in a Revolving Loan or LC Exposure acquired pursuant to this Section or any of its banking Affiliates may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender as fully as if such Lender was the original obligee thereon, in the amount of such participation.
SECTION 8.09.    Other Agents. No Agent (other than the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent) shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, no such Agent shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any such Agent in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.
SECTION 8.10.    Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any withholding tax applicable to such payment. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason, or the Administrative Agent has paid over to the Internal Revenue Service applicable withholding tax relating to a payment to a Lender but no deduction has been made from such payment, without duplication of any indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.04, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any expenses incurred.
SECTION 8.11.    Appointment by Secured Parties. Each existing and future Secured Party shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent as its agent and the Collateral Agent as its collateral agent under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms of this Section 8 and to have acknowledged that the provisions of this Section 8 apply to such Secured Party mutatis mutandis as though it were a party hereto (and any acceptance by such Secured Party of the benefits of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed an acknowledgment of the foregoing).
95

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

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.02 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.
(iv)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Revolving Loans and LC Disbursements under each Revolving Facility owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

100

Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Revolving Loans under each applicable Revolving Facility previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Borrower, Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and each other Lender under each applicable Revolving Facility (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Aggregate Exposure Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(c)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire in a form as the Administrative Agent may require (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(d) or (e), 2.04(a), 8.04 or 10.04(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(d)    (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a Disqualified Institution to the extent the Disqualified Institutions list is made available to any Lender upon request to the Administrative Agent) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Revolving Loans); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.08(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (d)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to the requirements of Section 8.08 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall 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 Revolving Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any
101

Revolving Commitments, Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Commitment, Revolving Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(ii)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Sections 2.16(f), 2.16(g), 2.16(h) and 2.18 as though it were a Lender.
(e)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 10.02 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(f)    Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.02, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of Section 10.03 or other provisions at least as restrictive as Section 10.03.
SECTION 10.03.    Confidentiality. Each Lender and each Agent agrees to keep any information delivered or made available by or on behalf of the Borrower to it confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures, from anyone other than persons employed or retained by such Lender or Agent who are or are expected to become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Revolving Loans, and who are advised by such Lender or Agent of the confidential nature of such information; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender or Agent from disclosing such information (a) to any of its Related Parties and their respective agents, legal counsel, auditors and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential, and the applicable Lender or Agent shall be responsible for compliance by such Persons with such obligation) or to any other Lender, (b) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (c) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority (including in connection with any audit or examination by a bank examiner exercising examination or regulatory authority over such Lender or Agent), (d) which has been publicly disclosed other than as a result of a disclosure by any Lender or Agent which is not permitted by this Agreement, (e) in connection with any litigation to which any Lender or Agent, or their respective Affiliates may be a party to the extent reasonably required, (f) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (g) with the Borrower’s consent, (h) to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender or Agent’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or Agent and (i) to any actual or proposed participant or assignee of all or part of its rights hereunder or to any direct or indirect
102

contractual counterparty (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations under this Agreement or other transactions under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, in each case, (i) other than a Disqualified Institution and (ii) subject to the proviso in Section 10.02(f) (with any reference to any assignee or participant set forth in such proviso being deemed to include a reference to such contractual counterparty for purposes of this Section 10.03(g)). If any Lender or Agent is in any manner requested or required to disclose any of the information delivered or made available to it by the Borrower under clauses (b) or (e) of this Section, such Lender or Agent will, to the extent permitted by law, provide the Borrower with prompt notice, to the extent reasonable, so that the Borrower may seek, at its sole expense, a protective order or other appropriate remedy or may waive compliance with this Section. In addition, any Lender or Agent may disclose information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry.
SECTION 10.04.    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) (i) The Borrower shall pay or reimburse: (b) all reasonable fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers (limited in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, as counsel to the Administrative Agent) associated with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, and the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents and (in the case of the Administrative Agent) any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated); and (c) all fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (limited in the case of legal fees and expenses, to one (1) outside counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, an additional counsel to all such similarly situated affected parties)) in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents.
(ii)    The Borrower shall pay or reimburse (A) all reasonable fees and reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Appraisers incurred in connection with the Administrative Agent’s (x) periodic appraisals and (y) other monitoring of (i) prior to the Collateral Release Date, Collateral and (ii) on and after the Collateral Release Date, Pool Assets, in each case, as allowed hereunder and (B) all reasonable fees and reasonable expenses of the Issuing Lenders in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand or any payment thereunder.
(iii)    All payments or reimbursements pursuant to the foregoing clauses (a)(i) and (ii) shall be paid within thirty (30) days of written demand together with back-up documentation supporting such reimbursement request.
(b)    The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, the Issuing Lenders and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (limited in the case of legal fees and expenses, to one (1) outside counsel to all Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, an additional counsel to all such similarly situated affected Indemnitees)) incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such
103

Letter of Credit), (iii) in connection with clauses (i) and (ii) above, any Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related to or asserted against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not the same are brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, affiliates or creditors or any other Person; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to (x) have resulted from the material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee under the Loan Documents or the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) arise from disputes solely among the Indemnitees (other than any dispute involving claims against any Person in its capacity as an Agent or similar role hereunder) that do not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, no Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent any such damages are found by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c)    To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.04, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such portion of the unpaid amount equal to such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought); 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 the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender in its capacity as such.
(d)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall have any 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, any Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof (other than in respect of such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party).
SECTION 10.05.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and in law or equity).
(b)    Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court 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, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and in law or equity). Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall, to the extent permitted by law, be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
104

(c)    Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.05. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 10.06.    No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any of the Lenders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
SECTION 10.07.    Extension of Maturity. Should any payment of principal of or interest or any other amount due hereunder become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate herein specified during such extension.
SECTION 10.08.    Amendments, etc.
(a)    Except as set forth in Section 2.09 or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or signed by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment shall without the prior written consent of:
(i)    each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (A) increase the Revolving Commitment of any Lender or extend the termination date of the Revolving Commitment of any Lender (it being understood that a waiver of an Event of Default shall not constitute an increase in or extension of the termination date of the Revolving Commitment of a Lender), or (B) reduce the principal amount of any Revolving Loan, any reimbursement obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit, or the rate of interest payable thereon (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary for a waiver of default interest referred to in Section 2.08), or extend any date for the payment of principal, interest or Fees hereunder or reduce any Fees payable hereunder or extend the final maturity of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder or (C) amend, modify or waive any provision of Sections 2.17(b) or (e);
(ii)    all of the Lenders (A) amend or modify any provision of this Agreement which provides for the unanimous consent or approval of the Lenders or (B) amend this Section 10.08 that has the effect of changing the number or percentage of Lenders that must approve any modification, amendment, waiver or consent or modify the percentage of the Lenders required in the definition of Required Lenders;
105

(iii)    (x) the Required 2026 Lenders in addition to the Required Lenders to change the definition of the term “Required 2026 Lenders”, (y) the Required 2028 Lenders in addition to the Required Lenders to change the definition of the term “Required 2028 Lenders” and (z) the Required LC Tranche Lenders in addition to the Required Lenders to change the definition of the term “Required LC Tranche Lenders”; and
provided further, that any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of one (1) Class of Lenders (but not of any other Class of Lenders) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time.
(b)    No such amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender hereunder without its prior written consent.
(c)    No notice to or demand on the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Each assignee under Section 10.02(b) shall be bound by any amendment, modification, waiver, or consent authorized as provided herein, and any consent by a Lender shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring an interest on the Revolving Loans held by such Lender. No amendment to this Agreement shall be effective against the Borrower unless signed by the Borrower.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.08(a), (i) in the event that the Borrower requests that this Agreement be modified or amended in a manner which would require the unanimous consent of all of the Lenders or the consent of all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby and, in each case, such modification or amendment is agreed to by the Required Lenders or the Required LC Tranche Lenders, Required 2026 Lenders or Required 2028 Lenders, as applicable, then the Borrower may replace any non-consenting Lender in accordance with Section 10.02; provided that such amendment or modification can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Borrower to be made pursuant to this clause (i)); (ii) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Revolving Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that the Revolving Commitment and the outstanding Revolving Loans or other extensions of credit held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders), (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Extension Agreement effected in accordance with Section 2.29 may be made without the consent of the Required Lenders and (iv) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified any ambiguity, mistake, typographical error or other obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature in any provision of the Loan Documents (including the exhibits and schedules thereto), then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.
(e)    In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.08(a), with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Borrower and the lenders providing the relevant Refinancing Revolving Facility, this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, may be amended as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, (x) to permit the creation hereunder of any such Refinancing Revolving Facility and the incurrence of the related Refinancing Debt (any such amendment, a “Refinancing Amendment”) and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required LC
106

Tranche Lenders, Required 2026 Lenders and/or Required 2028 Lenders, as applicable. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than, with respect to Section 4.02(b), the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.04(b) and 3.06(a)) (it being understood that all references to the making or borrowing of Revolving Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit or similar language in such Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Refinancing Amendment) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree.
(f)    In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.08, (i) the Borrower may from time to time deliver to the Administrative Agent an updated Schedule 6.05 to replace the then-existing Schedule 6.05 in connection with (x) any disposition, transfer or removal by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower of any Pool Asset pursuant to Section 6.05 or (y) any designation of Additional Pool Assets as Pool Assets as contemplated by the definition of Additional Pool Assets set forth in Section 1.01 hereof and (ii) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to give effect to the Collateral Release Date or to better implement the intentions thereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, deletion of any definitions no longer required as a result thereof); provided that the Administrative Agent shall give written notice to the Lenders of such amendment and such amendment shall be effective on the 5th Business Day following such notice unless the Administrative Agent shall have received, prior to such 5th Business Day, written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment.
SECTION 10.09.    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 10.10.    Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience only and are not to affect the construction of or be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.
SECTION 10.11.    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Revolving Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Revolving Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Revolving Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.04 and Section 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Revolving Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Revolving Commitments, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION 10.12.    Execution in Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter
107

hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION 10.15.    No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its stockholders and/or its affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise related to the Transactions will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other hand, and the Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Lender, together with its Affiliates, in addition to providing or participating in commercial lending facilities such as that provided hereunder, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, affiliates, creditors or any other Person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading
108

thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
SECTION 10.16.    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
SECTION 10.17.    Registrations with International Registry. Each of the parties hereto (i) consents to the registrations with the International Registry of the International Interest constituted by the Aircraft Mortgage and the Aircraft Mortgage Amendment, and (ii) covenants and agrees that it will take all such action reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent in order to make any registrations with the International Registry, including without limitation establishing a valid and existing account with the International Registry and appointing an Administrator and/or a Professional User reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to make registrations with respect to the Aircraft Collateral and providing consents to any registration as may be contemplated by the Loan Documents.
SECTION 10.18.    Amendment and Restatement (a) On the Restatement Effective Date, the Original Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety in the form of this Agreement and (i) all references to the Original Credit Agreement in any Loan Document other than this Agreement (including in any amendment, waiver or consent) shall be deemed to refer to the Original Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby, (ii) all references to any section (or subsection) of the Original Credit Agreement in any Loan Document other than this Agreement shall be amended to be, mutatis mutandis, references to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, (iii) except as the context otherwise provides, all references to this Agreement herein (including for purposes of indemnification and reimbursement of fees) shall be deemed to be reference to the Original Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders acknowledges and agrees that (i) all Letters of Credit issued under and as defined in the Original Credit Agreement and outstanding as of the Restatement Effective Date shall continue as Letters of Credit under this Agreement and will be deemed issued under the Revolving Facility such Letters of Credit were issued under immediately prior to the Restatement Effective Date, (ii) all Designated Hedging Obligations under
109

and as defined in the Original Credit Agreement that remain outstanding as of the Restatement Effective Date shall continue as Designated Hedging Obligations for purposes of this Agreement and (iii) all Designated Banking Product Obligations under and as defined in the Original Credit Agreement that remain outstanding as of the Restatement Effective Date shall continue as Designated Banking Product Obligations for purposes of this Agreement.

(b)    On the Restatement Effective Date, (i) the Original Credit Agreement shall be of no further force and effect except to evidence the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the “Obligations” under and as each term is defined therein (whether or not such “Obligations” are contingent as of the Restatement Effective Date), (ii) all “Obligations” under the Original Credit Agreement as of the Restatement Effective Date shall be deemed to be Obligations as defined herein (whether or not such “Obligations” are contingent as of the Restatement Effective Date) and (iii) all “Liens” (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) granted under the Loan Documents shall continue to secure the Obligations as defined herein.
SECTION 10.19.    Reaffirmation of Security Interests (a) On the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed the terms and provisions of the Original Credit Agreement and this Agreement and consents to (i) the amendment and restatement of the Original Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
