### Forward-Looking Statements

The discussions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions with respect to the future and management’s current expectations, involve certain risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning supply chain constraints, our strategy, competition, future operations and production capacity, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, profitability, expected cost reductions, capital adequacy, expectations regarding demand and acceptance for our technologies, growth opportunities and trends in the markets in which we operate, prospects and plans and objectives of management. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “would,” “predicts” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Future results may differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements that we make. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the risks set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and that are otherwise described or updated from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The discussion of such risks is not an indication that any such risks have occurred at the time of this filing. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

### Tesla, Inc.

### Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

#### (unaudited)

### Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

#### Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements of Tesla, Inc. (“Tesla”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), including the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2026, the consolidated statements of operations, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and the consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, as well as other information disclosed in the accompanying notes, are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The interim consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The interim consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any other future years or interim periods.

#### Reclassifications

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

#### Revenue Recognition

#### Revenue by source

The following table disaggregates our revenue by major source (in millions):

| Line item | Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Automotive sales | $20,094 | $20,359 | $55,573 | $49,071 |
| Automotive regulatory credits | 113 | 417 | 639 | 1,451 |
| Energy generation and storage sales | 2,745 | 3,281 | 8,048 | 8,548 |
| Services and other | 4,605 | 3,475 | 12,931 | 9,159 |
| Total revenues from sales and services | 27,557 | 27,532 | 77,191 | 68,229 |
| Automotive leasing | 353 | 429 | 1,098 | 1,311 |
| Energy generation and storage leasing | 136 | 134 | 380 | 386 |
| Total revenues | $28,046 | $28,095 | $78,669 | $69,926 |

#### Automotive Segment

#### Automotive Sales

Deferred revenue related to internet connectivity, access to our Full Self-Driving (“FSD”) (Supervised) features and their ongoing maintenance, free Supercharging programs and over-the-air software updates primarily on automotive sales amounted to $4.08 billion and $3.87 billion as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Deferred revenue is equivalent to the total transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, as of the balance sheet date. Revenue recognized from the deferred revenue balances as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $668 million and $619 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Of the total deferred revenue balance as of September 30, 2026, we expect to recognize $1.00 billion of revenue in the next 12 months. The remaining balance will be recognized at the time of transfer of control of the product or over the performance period.

We have financing receivables on our consolidated balance sheets related to loans we provide for financing our automotive deliveries. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had current net financing receivables of $238 million and $247 million, respectively, in Accounts receivable, net, and $438 million and $554 million, respectively, in Other non-current assets for the long-term portion.

We offer resale value guarantees to our commercial banking partners in connection with certain vehicle leasing programs. Under these programs, we originate the lease with our end customer and immediately transfer the lease and the underlying vehicle to our commercial banking partner, with the transaction being accounted for as a sale under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

We receive upfront payment for the vehicle, do not bear casualty and credit risks during the lease term, and we provide a guarantee capped to a limit if they are unable to sell the vehicle at or above the vehicle’s contractual or determined residual value at the end of the lease term. We estimate a guarantee liability in accordance with ASC 460, Guarantees and record it within other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. On a quarterly basis, we assess the estimated market value of vehicles sold under these programs to determine whether there have been changes to the amount of expected resale value guarantee liabilities. As we accumulate more data related to the resale values of our vehicles or as market conditions change, there may be material changes to their estimated values. The total recorded guarantee liabilities on vehicles sold under these programs were immaterial as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Our maximum exposure on the guarantees we provide if they are unable to sell the vehicle at or above the vehicle’s contractual residual value at the end of the lease term was $4.42 billion and $3.45 billion as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

#### Automotive Regulatory Credits

As of September 30, 2026, total transaction price allocated to performance obligations that were unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied for contracts with an original expected length of more than one year was $384 million. Of this amount, we expect to recognize $201 million in the next 12 months and the rest over the remaining performance obligation period. Changes in regulations on automotive regulatory credits may significantly impact our remaining performance obligations and revenue to be recognized under these contracts. Recent governmental and regulatory actions have restricted certain regulatory credit programs tied to our products. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we reversed $475 million of automotive regulatory credits revenue for contractual return of previously delivered credits.

#### Automotive Leasing Revenue

#### Direct Sales-Type Leasing Program

Lease receivables relating to sales-type leases are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as follows (in millions):

| Line item | September 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Gross lease receivables | $133 | $259 |
| Unearned interest income | (5) | (14) |
| Allowance for expected credit losses | (3) | (5) |
| Net investment in sales-type leases | $125 | $240 |
| Reported as: |  |  |
| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | $80 | $130 |
| Other non-current assets | 45 | 110 |
| Net investment in sales-type leases | $125 | $240 |

#### Energy Generation and Storage Segment

#### Energy Generation and Storage Sales

We record as deferred revenue any non-refundable amounts that are primarily related to prepayments from customers, which is recognized as revenue as or when the performance obligations are satisfied. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, deferred revenue related to such customer payments amounted to $3.30 billion and $2.04 billion, respectively, mainly due to contractual payment terms. Revenue recognized from the deferred revenue balances as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $1.44 billion and $1.33 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We have elected the practical expedient to omit disclosure of the amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected contract length of one year or less and the amount that we have the right to invoice when that amount corresponds directly with the value of the performance to date. As of September 30, 2026, total transaction price allocated to performance obligations that were unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied for contracts with an original expected length of more than one year was $10.73 billion. Of this amount, we expect to recognize $4.80 billion in the next 12 months and the rest over the remaining performance obligation period. Changes in government and economic incentives or tariffs may impact the transaction price or our ability to execute these existing contracts.

We have financing receivables on our consolidated balance sheets related to loans we provide for financing our energy products. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had current net financing receivables of $42 million and $38 million, respectively, in Accounts receivable, net, and $675 million and $731 million, respectively, in Other non-current assets for the long-term portion.

#### Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and in many foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized. We monitor the realizability of our deferred tax assets taking into account all relevant factors at each reporting period. In completing our assessment of realizability of our deferred tax assets, we consider our history of income (loss) measured at pre-tax income (loss) adjusted for permanent book-tax differences on a jurisdictional basis, volatility in actual earnings, excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation in recent prior years and impacts of the timing of reversal of existing temporary differences. We also rely on our assessment of the Company’s projected future results of business operations, including uncertainty in future operating results relative to historical results, volatility in the market price of our common stock and its performance over time, variable macroeconomic conditions impacting our ability to forecast future taxable income, and changes in business that may affect the existence and magnitude of future taxable income. Our valuation allowance assessment is based on our best estimate of future results considering all available information.

Our provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment.

#### Net Income per Share of Common Stock Attributable to Common Stockholders

The following table presents the reconciliation of net income attributable to common stockholders to net income used in computing basic and diluted net income per share of common stock (in millions):

| Line item | Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

| Less: Buy-outs of noncontrolling interest | — | — | (2) | — |
| Net income used in computing basic and diluted net income per share of common stock | $787 | $1,373 | $2,380 | $2,954 |

Restricted stock awards will be excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares until the shares have been deemed to be earned. The following table presents the reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average shares used in computing net income per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders (in millions):

| Line item | Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Weighted average shares used in computing net income per share of common stock, basic | 3,240 | 3,227 | 3,237 | 3,223 |
| Add: Stock-based awards | 301 | 299 | 302 | 300 |
| Weighted average shares used in computing net income per share of common stock, diluted | 3,541 | 3,526 | 3,539 | 3,523 |

The following table presents the potentially dilutive shares that were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders, because their effect was anti-dilutive (in millions):

| Line item | Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Stock-based awards | 17 | 5 | 11 | 13 |

#### Restricted Cash

Our total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, as presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows, was as follows (in millions):

| Line item | September 30,2026 | December 31,2025 | September 30,2025 | December 31,2024 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $17,853 | $16,513 | $18,289 | $16,139 |
| Restricted cash included in prepaid expenses and other current assets | 489 | 389 | 588 | 494 |
| Restricted cash included in other non-current assets | 664 | 714 | 707 | 404 |
| Total as presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows | $19,006 | $17,616 | $19,584 | $17,037 |

#### SpaceX Equity Investment

We are presumed to have significant influence over our equity method investment in SpaceX under ASC 323, Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures, as our CEO also serves as the CEO of SpaceX but as we do not have control over the investee, we have elected the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825, Financial Instruments, to provide a more relevant measure of the investment’s current economic value to financial statement users. The fair value is determined on a quarterly basis in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on market observable inputs. The equity investment is presented within Other non-current assets on our consolidated balance sheet. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded to Other (expense) income, net in our consolidated statement of operations. See Note 13, Related Party Transactions, for further information regarding our equity investment.

#### Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Depending on the day of the week on which the end of a fiscal quarter falls, our accounts receivable balance may fluctuate as we are waiting for certain customer payments to clear through our banking institutions and receipts of payments from our financing partners, which can take up to approximately two weeks based on the contractual payment terms with such partners. Our accounts receivable balances associated with sales of energy storage products are dependent on billing milestones and payment terms negotiated for each contract, and our accounts receivable balances associated with our sales of regulatory credits are dependent on contractual payment terms.

#### Financing Receivables

As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the vast majority of our financing receivables were at current status with an immaterial balance being past due. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the majority of our financing receivables, excluding MyPower notes receivable, were originated from 2022 through 2025.

As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total outstanding balance of MyPower customer notes receivable, net of allowance for expected credit losses, was $235 million and $241 million, respectively, of which immaterial amounts were due in the next 12 months. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the allowance for expected credit losses was $20 million and $26 million, respectively.

#### Concentration of Risk

#### Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash, accounts receivable and other finance receivables. Our cash and short-term investments balances are primarily on deposit at high credit quality financial institutions or invested in highly rated, investment-grade securities. These deposits are typically in excess of insured limits. As of September 30, 2026, one customer accounted for over 10% of our accounts receivable, all of which is current. As of December 31, 2025, no customer accounted for 10% or more of our total receivables balance.

#### Supply Risk

We are dependent on our suppliers, including single source suppliers, and the inability of these suppliers to deliver necessary components of our products in a timely manner at prices, quality levels and volumes acceptable to us, or our inability to efficiently manage these components from these suppliers, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

#### Warranties

Accrued warranty activity consisted of the following (in millions):

| Line item | Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Accrued warranty - beginning of period | $8,963 | $7,512 | $8,607 | $6,716 |
| Warranty costs incurred | (642) | (464) | (1,614) | (1,254) |
| Net changes in liability for pre-existing warranties, including expirations and foreign exchange impact | 1,220 | 300 | 1,514 | 726 |
| Provision for warranty | 597 | 727 | 1,631 | 1,887 |
| Accrued warranty - end of period | $10,138 | $8,075 | $10,138 | $8,075 |

#### Recent Accounting Pronouncements

#### Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40). The ASU requires the disaggregated disclosure of specific expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, within relevant income statement captions. This ASU also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses along with the definition of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of this ASU can either be applied prospectively to consolidated financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is also permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and expect this ASU will likely result in the required additional disclosures being included in our consolidated financial statements, once adopted.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU simplifies the capitalization guidance by removing all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”) throughout ASC 350-40. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this ASU can be applied prospectively for reporting periods after its effective date; or following a modified transition approach that is based on the status of the respective projects and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption; or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. The ASU establishes authoritative guidance in GAAP about accounting for government grants received by business entities, clarifies the appropriate accounting, in an effort to reduce diversity in practice, and increase consistency of application across business entities. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Adoption of this ASU can be applied on a modified prospective approach, a modified retrospective approach, or a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The ASU clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The objective of the amendments is to provide further clarity about the current interim disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of this ASU can be applied on either a prospective or a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, Codification Improvements. The ASU addresses thirty-three items, representing the changes to the Codification that (1) clarify, (2) correct errors, or (3) make minor improvements. Generally, the amendments in this Update are not intended to result in significant changes for most entities. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The adoption method of this ASU may vary, on an issue-by-issue basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2026, the FASB issued ASU No. 2026-02, Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818). The ASU establishes authoritative guidance for the accounting of environmental credits and environmental credit obligations, including recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements, in an effort to reduce diversity in practice and increase consistency of application across reporting entities. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Adoption of this ASU should be applied on a retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets on the balance sheet) as of the beginning of the annual reporting period of adoption, without recasting for any financial statement information before the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

#### Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

#### ASU 2025-05

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendments in this update provide a practical expedient permitting an entity to assume that conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current classified accounts receivable and contract assets. We adopted this ASU on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2026 and did not elect the practical expedient permitted under this ASU. Therefore, the adoption has no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

### Note 2 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, states that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The three-tiered fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes which inputs should be used in measuring fair value, is comprised of: (Level I) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level II) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly and (Level III) unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data. The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available in determining fair value. Our assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in millions):

| Line item | September 30, 2026 / Fair Value | September 30, 2026 / Level I | September 30, 2026 / Level II | September 30, 2026 / Level III | December 31, 2025 / Fair Value | December 31, 2025 / Level I | December 31, 2025 / Level II | December 31, 2025 / Level III |

(1) For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded a $142 million loss and $863 million gain, respectively, on our SpaceX equity investment. During the third quarter of 2026, regulatory restrictions on the shares expired, resulting in the release of the previously applied discount for lack of marketability and the transfer of the investment from Level 2 to Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Additionally, the shares remain subject to customary sales restrictions in connection with the SpaceX initial public offering that expire in December 2026.

(2) As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the majority of our digital assets were comprised of 11,509 units of Bitcoin held at an acquisition cost of $386 million.

(1) For restrictions on draw-downs or use for general corporate purposes with respect to any available committed funds under our Revolving Facilities and Term Loan Facility, refer to the section below. Undrawn commitments under the Term Loan Facility are subject to automatic reductions, as described below, and draw-downs under the Revolving Facilities and the Term Loan Facility are subject to certain specified conditions. For restrictions on draw-downs or use for general corporate purposes with respect to any available committed funds under our other debt facilities, as applicable, refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our reporting on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

(2) For undrawn amounts, refer to the respective narrative disclosure below for the contractual interest rate or to the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our reporting on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

(3) As we have the intent and ability to refinance the loan on a long-term basis, we classify it as Debt and finance leases, net of current portion in the consolidated balance sheets.

Recourse debt refers to debt that is recourse to our general assets. Non-recourse debt refers to debt that is recourse to only assets of our subsidiaries. The differences between the unpaid principal balances and the net carrying values are due to debt discounts or deferred issuance costs. As of September 30, 2026, we were in material compliance with all financial debt covenants.

#### Term Loan Facility

In September 2026, we entered into a senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility with a commitment of $20.00 billion, maturing in September 2029 (the "Term Loan Facility"). The 3-year tenor is inclusive of an availability period of up to 18 months and is limited to ten draws. Undrawn commitments automatically reduce so that they do not exceed $10.00 billion at 12 months after closing, $5.00 billion at 15 months after closing and zero at 18 months after closing. Amounts repaid may not be reborrowed. Borrowings are available in U.S. dollars and may be used for general corporate purposes. Borrowed funds accrue interest at a variable rate equal to, at our election, Term SOFR or an alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be based on the rating assigned to our senior, unsecured long-term indebtedness (or, in some cases, our issuer rating) (the "Credit Rating") from time to time. The fee for undrawn amounts is variable based on the Credit Rating and is currently 0.10% per annum.

#### Revolving Facilities

In September 2026, we entered into two senior unsecured revolving credit facilities with aggregate commitments of $10.00 billion (the "Revolving Facilities"), consisting of a 5-year revolving credit facility with a commitment of $8.00 billion, maturing in September 2031, and a 364-day revolving credit facility with a commitment of $2.00 billion, maturing in September 2027. The Revolving Facilities replaced our existing RCF Credit Agreement, which had a commitment of $5.00 billion and was scheduled to mature in January 2028. The 5-year facility contains two optional one-year extensions, and the 364-day facility includes a one-year term-out option for loans outstanding at maturity, in each case subject to certain conditions. Commitments under the Revolving Facilities may be increased by up to $4.00 billion in the aggregate under certain circumstances. The underlying borrowings may be used for general corporate purposes. The 5-year facility is available in U.S. dollars, euros and pounds sterling. The 364-day facility is available in U.S. dollars. Borrowed funds accrue interest at a variable rate equal to: (i) for dollar-denominated loans, at our election, Term SOFR or an alternate base rate; (ii) for loans denominated in pounds sterling, SONIA (the sterling overnight index average reference rate); or (iii) for loans denominated in euros, an adjusted EURIBOR (euro interbank offered rate); in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be based on the Credit Rating from time to time. The fee for undrawn amounts is variable based on the Credit Rating and is currently 0.10% per annum under the 5-year facility and 0.08% per annum under the 364-day facility.

#### Warehouse Agreement

In the first quarter of 2026, we entered into an uncommitted revolving Loan and Security Agreement (the "Warehouse Agreement") with a syndicate of banks. Under the Warehouse Agreement, we may borrow up to $1.50 billion in total principal amount which is secured by certain financing receivables and/or beneficial interests related to certain leased vehicles. Subject to extension in accordance with the terms of the Warehouse Agreement, the ability to draw under the Warehouse Agreement expires in March 2027, and the maturity date for borrowings is the earlier of the end of the underlying lease and loan terms or March 2034. Amounts drawn under the Warehouse Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to Term SOFR plus 0.65% to 1.00%. As of September 30, 2026, we have no borrowings outstanding under the Warehouse Agreement.

We are subject to certain conditions and limitations, including advance rate limits, a required reserve account, various performance triggers and excess concentration limits.

#### Automotive Asset-backed Notes

During the third quarter of 2026, we transferred beneficial interests related to certain leased vehicles into a special purpose entity and issued $709 million in aggregate principal amount of Automotive Asset-backed Notes, with terms similar to our other previously issued Automotive Asset-backed Notes. The proceeds from the issuance, net of debt issuance costs, were $706 million.

#### Energy Asset-backed Notes

In the second quarter of 2026, we transferred certain financing receivables into a special purpose entity (“SPE”) and issued $348 million in aggregate principal amount of Energy Asset-backed Notes, backed by these financing receivables. The proceeds from issuance, net of debt issuance costs, were $344 million. The SPE is wholly owned by us and is consolidated in the financial statements. The cash flows generated by these financing receivables are used to service the principal and interest payments on the Energy Asset-backed Notes and satisfy the SPE’s expenses, and any remaining cash is distributed to us. The SPE’s assets and cash flows are not available to our other creditors, and the creditors of the SPE, including the Energy Asset-backed Note holders, have no recourse to our other assets.

### Note 9 – Equity Incentive Plans

#### 2025 CEO Interim Award

Following the Delaware Supreme Court’s decision reversing the Court of Chancery’s rescission order and reinstating the performance-based stock option award our CEO was granted by the Company on January 21, 2018 (the “2018 CEO Performance Award”), on March 18, 2026 the Court of Chancery entered a final order implementing such reversal. On April 21, 2026 the Board approved the determination that the final order and judgment allowing our CEO to exercise the 2018 CEO Performance Award in full constituted a Tornetta Decision Event (as defined in the restricted stock award granted to our CEO on August 3, 2025 (the “2025 CEO Interim Award”), resulting in the immediate forfeiture of the 96 million shares associated with the 2025 CEO Interim Award. These actions are consistent with the “no double dip” principle, which precludes Mr. Musk from getting a windfall in the event that he may exercise the 2018 CEO Performance Award. No stock-based compensation expense was recognized related to the 2025 CEO Interim Award prior to the forfeiture.

#### 2026 Implementation Agreement

On April 21, 2026 (the “effective date”), the Board approved the Company’s entry into an agreement with our CEO (the “Implementation Agreement”) implementing a process for our CEO’s exercise of the 2018 CEO Performance Award. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, our CEO exercised approximately 304.0 million of the stock options underlying the 2018 CEO Performance Award and elected to net settle the exercise price of his options, which amounted to approximately 17.5 million shares.

The Implementation Agreement imposed a service-based vesting condition on the restricted shares of common stock (the “Restricted Shares”) issued to our CEO upon exercise of the 2018 CEO Performance Award, requiring him to remain in continuous service as CEO or as an executive officer responsible for product development or operations (as approved by the Board’s disinterested directors) through January 19, 2028 (the “scheduled vesting date”), and commences a five-year holding period on the date the Restricted Shares vest (except in the case of death). The Implementation Agreement also provides for cooperation between the Company and our CEO to create a mutually-agreeable plan to address our CEO’s satisfaction of applicable tax obligations.

We assessed whether there is any incremental fair value that needs to be recognized as a result of the Implementation Agreement. As of the effective date, we determined that the fair value of the original stock option awards immediately before the effective date was greater than the fair value of the Restricted Shares after the effective date. The stock options underlying the 2018 CEO Performance Award were fully vested and their grant-date fair value has already been fully recognized. As such, no incremental stock-based compensation expense will be recorded during the additional service period of the award.

#### 2025 CEO Performance Award

On September 3, 2025 (the “2025 CEO Performance Award Grant Date”), the Board of Directors granted the 2025 CEO Performance Award to our CEO, consisting of approximately 423.7 million shares of performance-based restricted stock to our CEO, which was approved on November 6, 2025 by our shareholders (the “2025 CEO Performance Award Accounting Grant Date”).

Until such time as there are no shares under the 2025 CEO Performance Award that are not earned (the “Unearned Shares”), our CEO’s Unearned Shares will vote proportionately to the votes of all other shares of our capital stock that are present and entitled to vote at any annual or special meeting (or similar action) of our shareholders (including our CEO). Generally, each of the 12 tranches of the 2025 CEO Performance Award will become “Earned Shares” upon our CEO remaining in Eligible Service (as defined below) and the certification by disinterested directors that the following have been achieved: (i) the market capitalization milestone for such tranche and (ii) any one of the twelve operational milestones (clauses (i) and (ii), together the “Performance Milestones”). Our CEO will be able to direct the vote of such Earned Shares.

| Tranche # | Number of Shares Subject to Tranche | Market Capitalization Milestones (2) | Operational Milestones | Achievement Status |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 35,311,992 | $2.0 trillion | Achievement of any 1 of the 12 Operational Milestones | - |
| 2 | 35,311,992 | $2.5 trillion | Achievement of any 2 of the 12 Operational Milestones | - |
| 3 | 35,311,992 | $3.0 trillion | Achievement of any 3 of the 12 Operational Milestones | - |
| 4 | 35,311,992 | $3.5 trillion | Achievement of any 4 of the 12 Operational Milestones | - |
| 5 | 35,311,992 | $4.0 trillion | Achievement of any 5 of the 12 Operational Milestones | - |
| 6 | 35,311,992 | $4.5 trillion | Achievement of any 6 of the 12 Operational Milestones | - |
| 7 | 35,311,992 | $5.0 trillion | Achievement of any 7 of the 12 Operational Milestones | - |
| 8 | 35,311,992 | $5.5 trillion | Achievement of any 8 of the 12 Operational Milestones | - |
| 9 | 35,311,992 | $6.0 trillion | Achievement of any 9 of the 12 Operational Milestones | - |
| 10 | 35,311,992 | $6.5 trillion | Achievement of any 10 of the 12 Operational Milestones | - |
| 11 | 35,311,992 | $7.5 trillion | Achievement of any 11 of the 12 Operational Milestones (1) | - |
| 12 | 35,311,992 | $8.5 trillion | Achievement of all 12 of the 12 Operational Milestones (1) | - |
| Total | 423,743,904 |  |  |  |

(1) The 11th and 12th tranches are earned upon the later of (i) the date on which the last Performance Milestone applicable to such tranche is completed and (ii) the date on which the CEO succession framework developed by our CEO is approved by the Board of Directors.

(2) Market capitalization milestones are measured on a trailing average basis over both a six-month period and a 30-day period. Achievement may also be measured over a one-year period in connection with the deemed achievement of certain product goals.

The operational milestones generally required for any shares to become Earned Shares are defined as follows:

| Milestone # | Operational Milestones (3) |
| --- | --- |
| 1 | 20 million Tesla vehicles delivered |
| 2 | 10 million active FSD subscriptions |
| 3 | 1 million bots delivered |
| 4 | 1 million Robotaxis in commercial operation |
| 5 | $50 billion of Adjusted EBITDA |
| 6 | $80 billion of Adjusted EBITDA |
| 7 | $130 billion of Adjusted EBITDA |
| 8 | $210 billion of Adjusted EBITDA |
| 9 | $300 billion of Adjusted EBITDA |
| 10 | $400 billion of Adjusted EBITDA (4) |
| 11 | $400 billion of Adjusted EBITDA (4) |
| 12 | $400 billion of Adjusted EBITDA (4) |

(3) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders before interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation, amortization and impairment, stock-based compensation and digital assets gains and losses for the four consecutive quarters that immediately precede such determination date.

(4) Meeting the last three Adjusted EBITDA operational milestones requires achieving Adjusted EBITDA of $400 billion in three non-overlapping periods, each made up of four consecutive quarters.

The vesting date for each tranche of shares depends on when such shares become Earned Shares, which is based on the achievement of Performance Milestones. Generally, shares earned prior to the 5th anniversary of the 2025 CEO Performance Award Grant Date vest on the 7.5th anniversary, and shares that are earned after the 5th anniversary of the 2025 CEO Performance Award Grant Date vest on the 10th anniversary (each such 7.5 and 10-year period, a “Post-Milestone Service Period”), in each case our CEO must maintain continued employment either as our CEO or as an executive officer responsible for product development or operations through the applicable Post-Milestone Service Period (“Eligible Service”). Upon vesting, the vested shares will be reduced by an offset amount of $334.09 per share, unless our CEO elects to pay such amounts in cash.

Unearned Shares will be forfeited and returned upon the 10-year anniversary of the 2025 CEO Performance Award Grant Date. Unvested shares (including any Earned Shares that have not vested) will be forfeited upon cessation of Eligible Service. Any stock-based compensation expense related to forfeited shares will be reversed during the period in which such a forfeiture occurs.

Our CEO must hold shares for five years after they become Earned Shares (regardless of whether such Earned Shares vest), subject to exceptions on or after vesting for (i) a change in control, (ii) satisfying taxes due in respect of vesting or (iii) transfers for estate planning purposes that involve a mere change of form or as may be permitted by our disinterested directors in their discretion consistent with our internal policies.

Stock-based compensation expense recognition commences when an operational milestone is considered probable of achievement regardless of the progress made towards achieving the next market capitalization milestone. The probability of meeting an operational milestone is based on a subjective assessment of the product roadmap, regulatory environment, industry and adoption trends, competitive environment, macroeconomic conditions and risks, and our future financial projections, among other estimates and assumptions. These inputs, which are subjective and generally require significant judgment, are based on historical experience, as appropriate, and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management.

Once an operational milestone is considered probable of achievement, stock-based compensation expense associated with the tranche will be recognized over the relevant Post-Milestone Service Period, which is based on the expected achievement date of the operational milestone. Changes to the expected achievement date of the operational milestone could impact the fair value of the applicable tranche of the award. By design of this award, the recognition period will be approximately 7.5 or 10 years from the 2025 CEO Performance Award Accounting Grant Date. Stock-based compensation expense associated with this award is recorded as Selling, general and administrative expense on our consolidated statement of operations.

As of September 30, 2026, we determined that the operational milestone involving the delivery of 20 million Tesla vehicles is probable over the term of the award based on our current assumptions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $275 million and $802 million, respectively, related to the 2025 CEO Performance Award. Based on our current estimate of the achievement date, we had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $9.74 billion for the operational milestone that was considered probable of achievement over the term of the award, which we expect to be recognized over 8.9 years.

For the operational milestones that were considered not probable of achievement, we had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $105.82 billion to $120.37 billion.

#### Other Performance-Based Grants

From time to time, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors grants certain employees performance-based restricted stock units and stock options.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded $124 million and $398 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to these grants, net of forfeitures. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded $93 million and $185 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to these grants, net of forfeitures. Stock-based compensation expense related to these grants, net of forfeitures, is recorded primarily in Research and development in the consolidated statements of operations.

As of September 30, 2026, we had $580 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to awards that are probable of achievement, which we estimate will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years. In addition, there was $3.22 billion of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to awards that are not currently probable of achievement, which may be recognized in future periods if the performance conditions become probable of being met.

#### Summary Stock-Based Compensation Information

The following table summarizes our stock-based compensation expense by line item in the consolidated statements of operations (in millions):

| Line item | Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Cost of revenues | $239 | $207 | $724 | $629 |
| Research and development | 513 | 335 | 1,421 | 910 |
| Selling, general and administrative | 413 | 121 | 1,201 | 332 |
| Total | $1,165 | $663 | $3,346 | $1,871 |

### Note 10 – Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 16% and 20% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to 29% and 27% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The decreases in our effective tax rates were primarily due to changes in the mix of our jurisdictional earnings, partially offset by the non-deductibility of stock-based compensation expense related to the 2025 CEO Performance Award. Additionally, our provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 included a release of the valuation allowance on our California deferred tax assets other than research and development tax credits during the second quarter of 2026.

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, following the enactment of California Senate Bill 122 (SB 122) into law and based on the relevant weight of positive and negative evidence, including the consideration of our expected California tax liabilities, we concluded that it is more likely than not that our California deferred tax assets, other than research and development tax credits, are realizable. Accordingly, we released the valuation allowance related to these California deferred tax assets. The release of this valuation allowance and an immaterial accrual of pillar two tax resulted in a $274 million income tax benefit that was included in our provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% were primarily impacted by the mix of our jurisdictional earnings subject to different tax rates, changes in the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, tax deduction limitations on executive compensation expense, and benefits from our U.S. research and development credits and manufacturing production credits.

### Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

#### Tariffs

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling invalidating certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). As a result of this ruling, we are eligible for a refund of tariffs previously paid on imported goods. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized IEEPA tariff refunds of $526 million and $260 million as reductions to energy generation and storage cost of revenues and automotive sales cost of revenues, respectively. We also recognized $339 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as a reduction to energy generation and storage revenue for the refunds contractually owed to certain energy storage customers. Amounts recognized related to these tariffs during the first half of 2026 were immaterial. We continue to monitor these developments and their potential impact on our results of operations.

#### Legal Proceedings

#### Certain Derivative Lawsuits in Delaware

Before converting from a Delaware to Texas corporation on June 13, 2024, three separate derivative actions brought by purported Tesla stockholders were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery on May 24, June 10 and June 13, 2024, purportedly on behalf of Tesla, against current and former directors regarding topics involving Elon Musk and others, X Corp. (formerly Twitter) and xAI. These suits asserted various claims, including breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract, and sought unspecified damages and other relief. On August 6, 2024, the plaintiffs in these three actions moved to consolidate the matters into a single case. The Court consolidated two of the three cases. Tesla and the directors filed motions to dismiss, and oral argument on those motions occurred on October 22, 2025. On April 2, 2026, these cases were reassigned to a different judge. On April 13, 2026, the Court granted Tesla’s motions to dismiss and dismissed the cases. In May 2026, plaintiffs in the consolidated and coordinated cases appealed to the Delaware Supreme Court the decision granting Tesla’s motion to dismiss.

#### Litigation and Investigations Relating to Alleged Discrimination and Harassment

We are also subject to various lawsuits that assert claims related to alleged discrimination and harassment. For example, on February 9, 2022, the California Civil Rights Department (“CRD,” formerly “DFEH”) filed a civil complaint against Tesla in Alameda County, California Superior Court, alleging systemic race discrimination, hostile work environment, and pay equity claims, among others. CRD’s amended complaint seeks monetary damages and injunctive relief. The first phase of the trial, which is a bench trial involving only equitable relief, began on September 21, 2026, and is scheduled to proceed until October 30, 2026. Additionally, on June 1, 2022, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) issued a cause finding against Tesla that closely parallels the CRD’s allegations. On September 28, 2023, the EEOC filed a civil complaint against Tesla in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California asserting claims for race harassment and retaliation and seeking, among other things, monetary and injunctive relief. The case is in discovery with no trial date set.

The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in these matters; however, we cannot predict the outcome or impact. We are unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with these claims, unless noted.

#### Other Litigation Related to Our Products and Services

We are also subject to various lawsuits that seek monetary and other injunctive relief. These lawsuits include proposed class actions and other consumer claims that allege, among other things, purported defects and misrepresentations related to our products and services. For example, on September 14, 2022, a proposed class action was filed against Tesla, Inc. and related entities in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging various claims about the Company’s driver assistance technology systems under state and federal law. This case was later consolidated with several other proposed class actions, and a Consolidated Amended Complaint was filed on October 28, 2022, which seeks damages and other relief on behalf of all persons who purchased or leased from Tesla between January 1, 2016, to the present. On March 22, 2023, the plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction alleging that Tesla made certain statements regarding the capabilities of Full Self-Driving Capability and seeking various forms of injunctive relief, and on September 30, 2023, the Court denied the plaintiffs’ motion, compelled four of five plaintiffs to arbitration, and dismissed the claims of the fifth plaintiff with leave to amend the complaint. On October 31, 2023, the remaining plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which Tesla moved to dismiss, and on May 15, 2024, the Court granted in part and denied in part Tesla’s motion. On May 6, 2025, the plaintiff filed a motion for class certification, which Tesla opposed, and on August 18, 2025, the Court certified a limited class comprised of California consumers who are not subject to an arbitration agreement. On September 1, 2025, Tesla filed a petition in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for permission to appeal the class certification order, and on December 18, 2025, the Ninth Circuit granted Tesla’s petition. On January 5, 2026, the district court stayed the case pending resolution of the proceedings before the Ninth Circuit. Oral argument in the Ninth Circuit occurred on August 31, 2026, and on October 16, 2026, the Ninth Circuit reversed the district court and vacated the class certification order. The case was returned to the district court for further proceedings.

On August 4, 2025, a proposed class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas against Tesla, Inc., Elon Musk, and certain current and former Company executives. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws through alleged material misrepresentations in public filings regarding the effectiveness of Autopilot, Full-Self-Driving (Supervised), and Robotaxi. The complaint seeks monetary damages and other relief on behalf of persons who purchased Tesla stock between April 19, 2023, and June 22, 2025. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on February 17, 2026, and Tesla moved to dismiss the amended complaint on April 20, 2026. Tesla’s motion to dismiss has been fully briefed by the parties.

On June 4, 2026, a proposed class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Tesla, Inc. and related entities. The complaint alleges that Tesla made certain statements regarding the capabilities of its driver assistance technology systems. The complaint seeks damages and other relief on behalf of certain consumers who purchased or leased a Tesla vehicle. Tesla filed a motion to dismiss on August 4, 2026, and instead of responding to the motion, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On September 22, 2026, Tesla moved to dismiss the amended complaint.

The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in these matters; however, we cannot predict the outcome or impact. We are unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with these claims, unless noted.

#### Benavides v. Tesla, Inc.

On August 1, 2025, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida reached a verdict in a product liability trial relating to certain allegations regarding the use of our Autopilot technology in a 2019 accident that resulted in a fatality and injuries. The jury awarded $129 million in total compensatory damages, finding the driver 67% at fault and the Company 33% at fault. The jury also awarded $200 million in punitive damages. On September 15, 2025, the Company filed a post-trial motion for judgment as a matter of law or, in the alternative, a new trial on all issues or an amended judgment to lesser compensatory and punitive damages. On February 19, 2026, the Court denied the Company’s post-trial motions, and on July 2, 2026, the Company filed its opening brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Plaintiffs filed their response on September 16, 2026, and Tesla’s reply is due by November 6, 2026. Although we believe that the facts and law do not justify the damages awarded, the Company has recorded an immaterial accrual.

We have experienced, and we expect to continue to face, claims and regulatory scrutiny arising from or related to misuse or claimed failures or alleged misrepresentations of new technologies that we are pioneering. We are unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with these claims, unless noted. An unfavorable outcome in some or all of these proceedings could have a material adverse impact on results of operations or cash flows for a particular period. Our view of these matters is subject to inherent uncertainties and may change in the future.

#### Certain Investigations and Other Matters

We regularly receive requests for information, including subpoenas, from regulators and governmental authorities such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the National Transportation Safety Board, the SEC, the Department of Justice (“DOJ”), and various local, state, federal, and international agencies. The ongoing requests for information include topics such as operations, technology (e.g., vehicle functionality, vehicle incidents, Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems and Robotaxi), compliance, finance, data privacy, and other matters related to Tesla’s business, its personnel, and related parties. We routinely cooperate with such formal and informal requests for information, investigations, and other inquiries. To our knowledge no government agency in any ongoing investigation has concluded that any wrongdoing occurred. We cannot predict the outcome or impact of any ongoing matters. Should the government decide to pursue an enforcement action, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, prospects, cash flows, financial position or brand.

We are also subject to various other legal proceedings, risks and claims that arise from the normal course of business activities. If an unfavorable ruling or development were to occur in these or other possible legal proceedings, risks and claims, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, prospects, cash flows, financial position or brand.

#### Letters of Credit

As of September 30, 2026, we had $1.62 billion of unused letters of credit outstanding.

## ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

### Overview

We are focused on bringing SI into the real world, through products and services like FSD (Supervised) and Robotaxi, as well as working to develop and commercialize SI robots (including Optimus). We intend to leverage our current operations, in which we design, develop, manufacture, sell and lease high-performance fully electric vehicles and energy generation and storage systems that increasingly deliver SI-related and enhanced software and services to our customers, to achieve that objective.

As a result of rapidly evolving trade and fiscal policy and geopolitical conflicts, uncertainty in the automotive and energy markets continues, posing risks to our global supply chain and cost structure which could have a meaningfully adverse impact on demand for our products and our profitability. The current tariff regime will have a relatively larger impact on our energy generation and storage business compared to our automotive business. While we prepare for near-term challenges to our business under current policies, we are focused on long-term growth opportunities as we continue to further vertically integrate and localize our supply chain and make prudent investments in infrastructure.

In 2026, we produced approximately 1.32 million consumer vehicles and delivered approximately 1.32 million consumer vehicles through the third quarter. We are focused on profitable growth and scale, further improving and deploying our FSD (Supervised) capabilities, including future autonomous capabilities through our purpose-built Robotaxi product, Cybercab, advancing our battery and SI compute technologies and expanding our global infrastructure. Since launching our Robotaxi service in June 2025, we have continued to expand and refine our product and operations - including the rollout of Cybercab in September 2026, capitalizing on our SI investments and scalable mobility infrastructure to advance a service-driven business model.

In 2026, we deployed 36.0 GWh of energy storage products through the third quarter. We are focused on ramping the production, increasing the market penetration of our energy storage products and developing our solar manufacturing and battery technologies.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized total revenues of $28.05 billion and $78.67 billion, respectively, representing a decrease of $49 million and an increase of $8.74 billion, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, our net income attributable to common stockholders was $787 million and $2.38 billion, respectively, representing decreases of $586 million and $576 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. We continue to ramp production and build and optimize our manufacturing capacity, expand our operations while focusing on further cost reductions and operational efficiencies, including through vertical integration of our battery and semiconductor supply chains, to enable increased deliveries and deployments of our products. We are also investing heavily in research and development to accelerate our SI, software and fleet-based profits for further revenue growth, which will negatively impact our profitability during this phase.

We ended the third quarter of 2026 with $45.45 billion in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, representing an increase of $1.39 billion from the end of 2025. Our cash flows provided by operating activities were $14.90 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $10.93 billion during the same period ended September 30, 2025, representing an increase of $3.96 billion. Capital expenditures amounted to $13.01 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $6.13 billion during the same period ended September 30, 2025, representing an increase of $6.88 billion. Overall growth has allowed our business to generally fund itself. As we make critical high-value investments in our SI initiatives and expand manufacturing capabilities, including for our semiconductor, Optimus and solar operations, we intend to manage the business such that we maintain a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity, which may include additional funding.

### Management Opportunities, Challenges and Uncertainties and 2026 Outlook

Automotive and SI Enabled Products—Production

We are focused on growing and optimizing our manufacturing capacity, which includes capacity for manufacturing newer vehicle models and future vehicles utilizing aspects of our next generation platform, while maximizing production rate and efficiency at our Gigafactories. The next phase of production growth will be initiated by advances in autonomy and the introduction of new products, including those built on our next generation vehicle platform, as well as our ability to efficiently manufacture and rapidly scale our own cells that we are developing to have high-volume output, lower capital and production costs and longer range. In the third quarter of 2026, we continued to progress towards these objectives through the launches of Cybercab and the Tesla Semi, along with production ramps across our new battery and material factories, including cathode material and lithium refining in Texas. We are focused on improving vehicle performance, decreasing production costs and increasing affordability and customer awareness. Leveraging our autonomy-enabled products, our goal is to redefine and lead transportation across all modes, advancing toward a future of safer, more accessible, efficient and sustainable mobility. We are also capitalizing on our strengths in real-world SI data to advance the development of Optimus, a general purpose, autonomous humanoid robot, as we make preparations and investments in large-scale production.

These plans are subject to uncertainties inherent in establishing and ramping manufacturing operations, which may be exacerbated by new product and manufacturing technologies we introduce, the number of concurrent international projects, any industry-wide component constraints, labor shortages and any future impact from events outside of our control. For example, changes to fiscal and trade policy with respect to tariffs, export controls and other restrictions may impact our global supply chain cost structure and availability, affecting not only vehicle production, but also facility expansions. Furthermore, scaling autonomy operations presents significant challenges due to evolving regulations, the resources required for SI inference and training, and operational and infrastructure support required, any of which could adversely affect our timelines and results. Moreover, we have set ambitious technological targets with our plans for battery cells as well as for iterative manufacturing and design improvements for our vehicles.

Automotive and SI Enabled Products—Demand, Sales and Deliveries and Supporting Infrastructure

Our cost reduction efforts, cost innovation strategies, and additional localized procurement and manufacturing are key to our vehicles’ affordability and have allowed us to competitively price our vehicles. We will also continue to generate demand by improving our vehicles’ performance and functionality, including through product offerings and features utilizing super intelligence, and delivering new vehicles and vehicle options. Our FSD (Supervised) technology serves as a key growth driver and product differentiator, with cumulative miles driven having increased exponentially in 2026. The launch of our Robotaxi service and introduction of Cybercab further unlocks the potential for significant business growth to advance a service-driven business model leveraging the same technology. This initiates a compounding, positive feedback loop, whereby fleet growth generates more data that further improves our technology, driving additional fleet growth, and we plan to scale future production accordingly. We will continue to improve safety and profitability while scaling the network. In addition, we have been increasing awareness, and expanding our vehicle financing programs, including attractive leasing terms for our customers. We will also continue to work on developing our robotics offerings.

However, we operate in a cyclical industry that is sensitive to shifting consumer trends, geopolitical conflicts, political and regulatory uncertainty, including with respect to trade and the environment, all of which can be compounded by inflationary pressures, rising energy prices, interest rate fluctuations and the liquidity of enterprise customers. For example, as inflationary pressures increased across the markets in which we operate, central banks in developed countries raised interest rates rapidly and substantially, which impacted the affordability of vehicle lease and finance arrangements. Further, sales of vehicles in the automotive industry also tend to be cyclical in many markets, which may expose us to increased volatility as we expand and adjust our operations. Moreover, as additional competitors enter the marketplace and help bring the world closer to sustainable transportation, we will have to adjust and continue to execute well to maintain our momentum. Additionally, our suppliers’ liquidity and allocation plans may be affected by current challenges in the automotive industry, which could reduce our access to components or result in unfavorable changes to cost. These macroeconomic and industry trends have had, and will likely continue to have, an impact on the pricing of, and order rate for our vehicles, and in turn our operating margin.

Changes in government and economic policies, incentives or tariffs may also impact our production, cost structure and the competitive landscape. For instance, while the final scope and application of recently announced changes in trade policy remain uncertain at this time, tariffs on imports and subsequent retaliatory tariffs could impact consumer spending and demand for durable goods and related services. We will continue to adjust accordingly to such developments, and we believe our ongoing cost reduction efforts, including through production innovation, process improvements and logistics optimization, and focus on operating leverage, vertical integration and supply chain localization will continue to benefit us in relation to our competitors. Our new products, production capacity, infrastructure investments and advances in autonomy and robotics, position us for future growth.

As our vehicle production increases, we must work constantly to similarly increase vehicle delivery capability so that it does not become a bottleneck on our total deliveries. As we expand our manufacturing operations and vehicle lineup globally, we will also have to continue to increase and staff our delivery, servicing and charging infrastructure accordingly, maintain our vehicle reliability and optimize our Supercharger locations to ensure cost effectiveness and customer satisfaction. We have also begun deploying public Megachargers in preparation for the production and ramp of Tesla Semi. In addition, we remain focused on continued enhancements of the capability and efficiency of our servicing operations. In tandem with the launch of our Robotaxi business, we are focused on developing and optimizing dedicated infrastructure, including in relation to vehicle cleaning and maintenance, charging, security, teleoperations and fleet management, to ensure service quality as we continue to scale.

Energy Generation and Storage Demand, Production and Deployment

The long-term success of this business is dependent upon incremental volume growth. We continue to increase the production and capabilities of our energy storage products to meet high levels of demand, including the ramps of our Megafactories in Shanghai and Lathrop, California, and the construction of a new Megafactory near Houston, Texas, which began production in the third quarter of 2026. In 2025, we introduced Megapack 3 and Megablock, our next-generation industrial storage product, and began manufacturing a new residential retrofit solar panel. For Megapack, energy storage deployments can vary meaningfully quarter to quarter depending on the timing of specific project milestones and logistics. As these product lines grow, we will have to maintain adequate battery cell supply for our energy storage products. In the third quarter of 2026, we shipped the first Megapack with LFP cells manufactured at Gigafactory Nevada, further advancing our efforts to localize supply chains. At the same time, changes in government and economic incentives or tariffs may also impact our sales, cost structure and the competitive landscape. For instance, import tariffs by the US government and the provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) could significantly increase battery cell expenses and impact costs for our consumers, negatively impacting consumer demand. Despite these challenges, as SI infrastructure drives rapid load growth, we see opportunities for our energy storage products to stabilize the grid, shift energy when it is needed most and provide additional power capacity.

Infrastructure

To support our businesses in clean energy and transport and autonomous robots, we are investing in and developing the necessary infrastructure. We continue to expand Cortex, our onsite training clusters at Gigafactory Texas, to provide sufficient compute resources for the development of our SI products and services, and are expanding our scope of manufacturing to include semiconductor and solar fabrication. We are focused on exploring opportunities independently and with strategic partners to develop bespoke and scalable solutions, including through vertical integration, to optimize for cost, functionality, efficiency and safety.

Cash Flow and Capital Expenditure Trends

Our capital expenditure projections are subject to variability given the number and breadth of our projects at any given time. Changes in, among other things, global market conditions, trade and fiscal policies, and strategic timing and direction, may necessitate adjustments to our project timelines, potentially impacting our capital expenditure expectations. We are focused on long-term growth opportunities through critical, high-value investments. We are simultaneously developing and ramping new products, building or ramping manufacturing facilities on three continents, piloting the development and manufacture of new battery cell technologies, expanding our Supercharger network and investing in autonomy, robotics and other super intelligence enabled training and products and its supporting infrastructure, and the pace of our capital spend may vary depending on overall priority among projects, the pace at which we meet milestones, production adjustments to and among our various products, increased capital efficiencies and the addition of new projects. We currently expect our capital expenditures to be in excess of $20 billion in 2026, driven by our SI initiatives, including investments in compute infrastructure and data centers, the expansion and ramp of our manufacturing and R&D production lines and facilities, and growth in our fleet of company-operated SI-enabled assets and our retail, service and charging footprint. We believe this strategy will position our Company for further growth as we make investments in a capital efficient manner.

Our business has generally been consistently generating cash flow from operations in excess of our level of capital spend, and with better working capital management resulting in shorter days sales outstanding than days payable outstanding, our sales growth is also generally facilitating positive cash generation. We have and will continue to utilize such cash flows, among other things, to invest in autonomy and robotics, further vertically integrate our supply chain, expand our product roadmap and provide financing options to our customers. At the same time, periods of heightened levels of capital expenditures due to capital-intensive projects and other potential variables such as rising material prices and increases in supply chain and labor expenses resulting from changes in global trade conditions and labor availability, will necessitate additional funding beyond our operating cash flow. For example, in September 2026, we entered into three credit agreements providing aggregate commitments of $30 billion, which afford us additional flexibility to support our planned investments, as described above.

Automotive & Services and Other Segment

Automotive sales revenue decreased $265 million, or 1%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, due to a decrease of approximately 2% in cash deliveries, primarily from fewer Model S and Model X deliveries after the product sunset in mid-2026, offset by a positive impact from the weakening of the United States dollar compared to foreign currencies year over year and an increase from higher revenue from FSD (Supervised) subscriptions in the current period.

Automotive sales revenue increased $6.50 billion, or 13%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025, due to an increase of approximately 10% in cash deliveries, in part from bringing down all of our vehicle factories simultaneously for the changeover to the New Model Y in the prior period, partially offset by fewer Model S and Model X deliveries after the product sunset in mid-2026. Additionally, there was a positive impact from the weakening of the United States dollar when compared to foreign currencies year over year and an increase from higher revenue from FSD (Supervised) subscriptions in the current period.

Automotive regulatory credits revenue decreased $304 million, or 73%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. Automotive regulatory credits revenue decreased $812 million, or 56%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Fluctuations in automotive regulatory credits are impacted by our supply of credits, subject to changes in regulation, production and sales. Recent governmental and regulatory actions have restricted certain regulatory credit programs tied to our products.

Services and other revenue increased $1.13 billion, or 33%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. Services and other revenue increased $3.77 billion, or 41%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. These increases were primarily due to increases in used vehicle sales volume and average selling price, non-warranty maintenance services and collision revenue, and paid Supercharging sessions.

Energy Generation and Storage Segment

Energy generation and storage revenue decreased $534 million, or 16%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. Energy generation and storage revenue decreased $506 million, or 6%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. These decreases were primarily due to tariff refunds for certain Megapack customers, a lower average selling price per Megapack unit, a decrease in Powerwall deployments, and a decrease in solar retrofit cash deployments, partially offset by an increase in Megapack deployments.

### Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin

Automotive & Services and Other Segment

Cost of automotive sales revenue decreased $795 million, or 5%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, due to the decrease in deliveries year over year as discussed above, a lower average cost per unit from sales mix and a favorable impact from tariff refunds, offset by an unfavorable impact from the weakening of the United States dollar when compared to foreign currencies year over year.

Cost of automotive sales revenue increased $3.66 billion, or 9%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025, due to the increase in deliveries year over year as discussed above. Average cost per unit was relatively consistent due to favorable impacts from tariffs and warranty adjustments, offset by an unfavorable impact from the weakening of the United States dollar when compared to foreign currencies year over year.

Cost of services and other revenue increased $762 million, or 25%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. Cost of services and other revenue increased $2.68 billion, or 31%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. These increases were in alignment with the increases in services and other revenue as discussed above.

Gross margin for total automotive increased from 17.0% to 18.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. Gross margin for total automotive increased from 16.9% to 18.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increases were primarily due to the fluctuations in automotive sales revenue and cost of automotive sales revenue, partially offset by a decrease in regulatory credits revenue, as discussed above.

Gross margin for total automotive & services and other segment increased from 16.1% to 18.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. Gross margin for total automotive & services and other segment increased from 15.4% to 17.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increases in gross margin were primarily due to the increases in automotive sales gross margin, as discussed above, as well as from an improvement in services and other gross margin.

Energy Generation and Storage Segment

Cost of energy generation and storage revenue decreased $415 million, or 18%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. Cost of energy generation and storage revenue decreased $348 million, or 6%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. These decreases were primarily due to the deployment fluctuations as discussed above, favorable impacts from tariff refunds, and decreases in average cost per unit for Megapack.

Gross margin for energy generation and storage increased from 31.4% to 33.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025.

### Research and Development Expense

| (Dollars in millions) | Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Change / $ | Change / % | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Change / $ | Change / % |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Research and development | $2,761 | $1,630 | $1,131 | 69% | $7,078 | $4,628 | $2,450 | 53% |
| As a percentage of revenues | 10% | 6% |  |  | 9% | 7% |  |  |

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses increased $1.13 billion, or 69%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. R&D expenses increased $2.45 billion, or 53%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. These increases were primarily due to increases in costs related to SI and other programs, such as Optimus, silicon development, battery technologies, and new vehicle programs as we continue to expand our product roadmap, and increases in stock-based compensation of $178 million and $511 million, respectively.

R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 6% to 10% in the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 7% to 9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. These increases were primarily due to higher R&D expenses in the current periods offset by the increase in total revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

### Selling, General and Administrative Expense

| (Dollars in millions) | Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Change / $ | Change / % | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Change / $ | Change / % |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Selling, general and administrative | $2,015 | $1,562 | $453 | 29% | $5,830 | $4,179 | $1,651 | 40% |
| As a percentage of revenues | 7% | 6% |  |  | 7% | 6% |  |  |

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $453 million, or 29%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, driven by a $293 million increase in stock-based compensation primarily related to the 2025 CEO Performance Award, a $144 million increase in facilities related and computer software expenses, and a $91 million increase in employee and labor costs, including professional services.

SG&A expenses increased $1.65 billion, or 40%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025, driven by a $870 million increase in stock-based compensation primarily related to the 2025 CEO Performance Award, a $357 million increase in employee and labor costs, including professional services, a $275 million increase in facilities related and computer software expenses and a $136 million increase in operating expenses including litigation related expenses.

### Interest Income

| (Dollars in millions) | Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Change / $ | Change / % | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Change / $ | Change / % |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Interest income | $445 | $439 | $6 | 1% | $1,301 | $1,231 | $70 | 6% |

Interest income increased $6 million, or 1%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 and increased $70 million, or 6%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The increases were primarily due to higher interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments due to an increase in our average portfolio balance, partially offset by a lower average interest rate.

### Other Income, Net

| (Dollars in millions) | Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Change / $ | Change / % | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Change / $ | Change / % |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Other (expense) income, net | $(117) | $(28) | $(89) | 318% | $(62) | $173 | $(235) | Not meaningful |

Other (expense) income, net, changed unfavorably by $89 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. Other (expense) income, net, changed unfavorably by $235 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The changes were primarily due to mark-to-market adjustments on our SpaceX equity investment, which we entered into in March 2026, and adjustments on our bitcoin digital assets, as well as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on our intercompany balances. As our intercompany balances are significant in nature and we do not typically hedge foreign currency risk, we can experience significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rate gains and losses from period to period.

### Provision for Income Taxes

| (Dollars in millions) | Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Change / $ | Change / % | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Change / $ | Change / % |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Provision for income taxes | $152 | $570 | $(418) | (73)% | $610 | $1,098 | $(488) | (44)% |
| Effective tax rate | 16% | 29% |  |  | 20% | 27% |  |  |

Our provision for income taxes decreased by $418 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026 and by $488 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, primarily due to decreases in our income before income taxes and changes in the mix of our jurisdictional earnings, partially offset by the non-deductibility of stock-based compensation expense related to the 2025 CEO Performance Award. Our effective tax rate decreased from 29% to 16% in the three months ended September 30, 2026 and from 27% to 20% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, primarily due to changes in the mix of our jurisdictional earnings, partially offset by the non-deductibility of stock-based compensation expense related to the 2025 CEO Performance Award. Additionally, the decreases in our provision for income taxes and effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 included the impact of a release of the valuation allowance on our California deferred tax assets other than research and development tax credits during the second quarter of 2026.

See Note 10, Income Taxes, to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details.

### Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generally expect to continue to generate net positive operating cash flow. The cash we generate from our core operations enables us to fund ongoing operations and production, our research and development projects for new products and technologies including our proprietary battery cells, additional manufacturing ramps at existing manufacturing facilities, the construction of future factories, and the continued expansion of our retail and service locations, body shops, Mobile Service fleet, Supercharger, energy product installation capabilities and autonomy and other super intelligence enabled products.

In addition, because a large portion of our future expenditures will be to fund our growth, we expect that if needed we will be able to adjust our capital and operating expenditures by operating segment. For example, if our near-term manufacturing operations decrease in scale or ramp more slowly than expected, including due to global economic, tax, trade or business conditions, we may choose to correspondingly slow the pace of our capital expenditures. We continually evaluate our cash needs and the evolving nature of our business and may decide it is best to raise additional capital or seek alternative financing sources to fund the rapid growth of our business, including through drawdowns on existing or new debt facilities or financing funds. For example, in September 2026, we entered into three credit agreements providing aggregate commitments of $30 billion, which afford us additional flexibility to support our planned investments. Conversely, we may also from time to time determine that it is in our best interests to voluntarily repay certain indebtedness early. Accordingly, we believe that our current and potential sources of funding will provide us with adequate liquidity during the 12-month period following September 30, 2026, as well as in the long-term.

See the sections below for more details regarding the material requirements for cash in our business and our sources of liquidity to meet such needs.

Material Cash Requirements

From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements with vendors for the purchase of components and raw materials to be used in the manufacture of our products. However, due to contractual terms, variability in the precise growth curves of our development and production ramps, and opportunities to renegotiate pricing, we generally do not have binding and enforceable purchase orders under such contracts beyond the short-term, and the timing and magnitude of purchase orders beyond such period is difficult to accurately project.

As discussed in and subject to the considerations referenced in Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Management Opportunities, Challenges and Uncertainties and 2026 Outlook—Cash Flow and Capital Expenditure Trends in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we currently expect our capital expenditures to be in excess of $20 billion in 2026, driven by our SI initiatives, including investments in compute infrastructure and data centers, the expansion and ramp of our manufacturing and R&D production lines and facilities, and growth in our fleet of company-operated SI-enabled assets and our retail, service and charging footprint. Changes in, among other things, global market conditions, trade and fiscal policies, and strategic timing and direction, may necessitate adjustments to our project timelines, potentially impacting our capital expenditure expectations.

As of September 30, 2026, we and our subsidiaries had outstanding $9.28 billion in aggregate principal amount of indebtedness, of which $1.32 billion is current. For details regarding our indebtedness, refer to Note 8, Debt, to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Sources and Conditions of Liquidity

Our sources to fund our material cash requirements are predominantly from our deliveries and servicing of new and used vehicles, deployments and servicing of our energy storage products, interest income, and proceeds from debt facilities and equity offerings, when applicable.

As of September 30, 2026, we had $17.85 billion and $27.59 billion of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, respectively. Balances held in foreign currencies had a U.S. dollar equivalent of $5.97 billion and consisted primarily of euros and Chinese yuan. As of September 30, 2026, we had $30.00 billion of unused committed amounts under our senior unsecured credit facilities. For details regarding our indebtedness, refer to Note 8, Debt, to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We continue adapting our strategy to meet our liquidity and risk objectives, such as investing in U.S. government securities and other investments, investing in autonomy, further vertically integrating our supply chain, expanding our product roadmap and providing financing options to our customers.

### Summary of Cash Flows

| (Dollars in millions) | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $14,897 | $10,934 |
| Net cash used in investing activities | $(14,928) | $(8,950) |
| Net cash provided by financing activities | $1,536 | $429 |

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $3.96 billion to $14.90 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 from $10.93 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to favorable changes in net operating assets and liabilities of $3.51 billion and an increase in net income excluding non-cash expenses, gains and losses of $451 million.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash flows from investing activities and their variability across each period related primarily to capital expenditures, which were $13.01 billion and $6.13 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, mainly for global SI and operational infrastructure and factory expansion, as well as machinery and equipment as we expand and enhance our product roadmap. We also had net proceeds from maturities of short-term investments of $95 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to net purchases of short-term investments of $2.82 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Additionally, we invested $2.00 billion in SpaceX common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Refer to Note 13, Related Party Transactions, for additional information regarding the equity investment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash flows from financing activities changed by $1.11 billion to $1.54 billion net cash inflows during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 from $429 million net cash inflows during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The change was primarily due to a $1.60 billion increase in proceeds from issuances of debt, offset by a decrease of $258 million proceeds from exercise of stock options and other stock issuance, and a $156 million increase in repayments of debt. See Note 8, Debt, to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details regarding our debt obligations.

## ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

### Foreign Currency Risk

We transact business globally in multiple currencies and hence have foreign currency risks related to our revenue, costs of revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (primarily the Chinese yuan and euro in relation to our current year operations). In general, we are a net receiver of currencies other than the U.S. dollar for our foreign subsidiaries. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates affect our operating results as expressed in U.S. dollars as we do not typically hedge foreign currency risk.

We have also experienced, and will continue to experience, fluctuations in our net income as a result of gains (losses) on the settlement and the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies that are not the local currency (primarily consisting of our intercompany and cash and cash equivalents balances).

We considered the historical trends in foreign currency exchange rates and determined that it is reasonably possible that adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates of 10% for all currencies could be experienced in the near-term. These changes were applied to our total monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than our local currencies at the balance sheet date to compute the impact these changes would have had on our net income before income taxes. These changes would have resulted in a gain or loss of $1.65 billion at September 30, 2026 and $1.70 billion at December 31, 2025, assuming no foreign currency hedging.

## ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

The Credits

SECTION 2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make revolving loans denominated in Dollars, Euros and Pounds Sterling (the “Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (x) such Lender’s Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment or (y) the Total Credit Exposure exceeding the total Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans.

SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender under the Facility to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender under the Facility of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Subject to Section 2.13 and Section 2.21, (i) each Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be available in the Funding Office and consist entirely of ABR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans bearing interest at Term SOFR, (ii) each Borrowing denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be available in the Funding Office and consist entirely of SONIA Loans and (iii) each Borrowing denominated in Euros shall be available in the Funding Office and consist entirely of Term Benchmark Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) any such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender shall not be entitled to request compensation under Section 2.14 at the time such Loan is made.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Term Benchmark Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (and not less

42

than $10,000,000) (in the case of Euros, an integral multiple of €1,000,000 and not less than €10,000,000). At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments.

Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 10 Borrowings.

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

(e) The Borrower may from time to time elect to increase the Commitments of the Facility in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 (or the Dollar Amount equivalent thereof or the remaining portion thereof) in respect of the Facility so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Facility, together with the commitments under the 364-Day Revolving Facility, does not exceed $14,000,000,000. The Borrower may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders with a Commitment in the Facility (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”; it being understood and agreed that each Lender of the Facility approached to provide any such increase shall have the right, but not the obligation, to provide such increase), or by one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”), to increase their existing Commitments in respect of the Facility, or extend Commitments in respect of the Facility, as the case may be; provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as such and such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto. Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this paragraph (e) shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Lenders with a Commitment in the Facility and the Administrative Agent shall notify each affected Lender thereof; provided that no increase in the Commitments created pursuant to this paragraph (e) shall become effective less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

43

warranty) from the Lenders undivided participation interests in any outstanding LC Exposure to the extent necessary to ensure that after giving effect to any such increase in the Commitments of the Facility, each Lender has outstanding Loans and participation interests in outstanding LC Exposure equal to its Applicable Percentage and (iii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and re-borrowed all outstanding Loans of the Facility as of the date of any increase in the Commitments of the Facility (with such re-borrowing to consist of the Types of Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence in respect of any Term Benchmark Loan or SONIA Loan shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.15 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods.

In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (1) no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit hereunder unless such Issuing Bank has agreed to do so in its sole discretion, (2) no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Letter of Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (i) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement or (iii) in any manner that would result in a violation of one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally. An Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or direct that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) and (3) no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation hereunder to issue any Letter of Credit other than a standby Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank shall so agree.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to any Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, but in any event no less than three (3) Business Days) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying (A) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.04(c)), (C) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, (D) the Borrower as the account party and, if desired by the Borrower, one or more Subsidiaries as additional account parties and (E) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.

Upon the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the

45

Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence have been satisfied after giving effect thereto.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination by notice from an Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date 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 year after the then-current expiration date at the time of such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii)).

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph (d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent in Dollars such LC Disbursement, calculated as of the date the Issuing Bank made such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the first (1st) Business Day immediately following the date that such LC Disbursement is made; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with a Dollar denominated ABR Loan on the date on which such drawing is honored and in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing 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 fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (e), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph (e) to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph (e) to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as

46

contemplated above) shall not constitute a 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 Section 2.04(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and 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, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (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 an Issuing Bank 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 2.04, 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 Issuing Banks, 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 Issuing Banks. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable ruling), such Issuing Bank 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, each Issuing Bank 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. Each Issuing Bank shall, within the period stipulated by terms and conditions of the applicable Letter of Credit, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telecopy or electronic mail of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank 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 such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on 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 reimbursement is due and payable at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.04(e), then Section 2.12(e) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph (h) shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

47

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. (i) An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of Issuing Banks under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Banks, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank 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.

(ii) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.06(i) above.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph (j), the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.01(h) or (i). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. 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 and at the Borrower’s risk and 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 any Issuing Bank 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 or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k) Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, or states that a Subsidiary is the “account party,” “applicant,” “customer,” “instructing party,” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect of such

48

Letter of Credit, the Borrower (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(l) Stated Amount. The Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) or such lesser amount as the applicable Issuing Bank has agreed to.

SECTION 2.05. Maturity Date Extension.

(a) Requests for Extension. The Borrower may, by notice, in writing, to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) during the 90-day period prior to the Maturity Date, request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Maturity Date for an additional year from the Maturity Date then in effect hereunder (such date, the “Existing Maturity Date”, and such request, an “Extension Request”); provided that (1) no more than one Extension Request may be made during any twelve-month period and (2) no more than two Extension Requests may be made after the Effective Date.

(b) Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, in its sole discretion, shall advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension. If a Lender agrees to such extension (an “Extending Lender”), it shall notify the Administrative Agent, in writing, of its decision to do so not more than twenty (20) days after the date of such Extension Request. A Lender that determines not to so extend its Commitment shall so notify the Administrative Agent promptly after making such determination and is herein called a “Non-Extending Lender”. If a Lender does not give timely notice to the Administrative Agent of whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension, it shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender; provided that any Non-Extending Lender may, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such consent of the Administrative Agent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), subsequently become an Extending Lender by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower promptly of each Lender’s determination after the deadline set forth for Lender elections in Section 2.05(b).

(d) Additional Commitment Lenders. If (and only if) the total of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed so to extend their Maturity Date shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the date of the Extension Request, the Borrower shall have the right, at its own expense, to require any Non-Extending Lender to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more banks or other financial institutions identified to the Non-Extending Lender, which may include any Lender (each an “Additional Lender”); provided that (w) such Additional Lender shall be subject to the approval of each Issuing Bank and, if such Additional Lender is not already a Lender hereunder, the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld); (x) such assignment shall become effective as of the date of the extension of the Maturity Date of the Extending Lenders as provided in Section 2.05(e) or any time thereafter on or prior to the effective Maturity Date of the applicable Non-Extending Lender; (y) the Additional Lender shall pay to such Non-Extending Lender in immediately available funds on the effective date of such assignment the principal of, and interest accrued to the date of payment on, the

49

Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder and (z) if the assigning Lender is an Issuing Bank, it shall have received cash collateral as required by Section 2.04(j) or it shall have entered into other arrangements with the Borrower that are satisfactory to such Issuing Bank with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it. Any such assignee’s initial Maturity Date shall be the Maturity Date in effect for the Extending Lenders at the time of such assignment. Any assignee which becomes a Lender as a result of such an assignment made pursuant to this Section 2.05(d) shall be deemed to have consented to the applicable Extension Request and, therefore, shall not be a Non-Extending Lender.

(e) Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the total of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed so to extend their Maturity Date shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the date of the Extension Request, then, upon the Borrower’s election and prompt notification to the Administrative Agent prior to the relevant anniversary of the Effective Date, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.05(f), effective as of the relevant anniversary of the Effective Date, the Maturity Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Lender shall be extended to the date falling one year after the Existing Maturity Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Maturity Date as so extended shall be the immediately preceding Business Day). In the event of any such extension, the Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender that has not been replaced as provided in Section 2.05(d) shall terminate on the Maturity Date in effect prior to any such extension and the outstanding principal balance of all Loans and other amounts payable hereunder to such Non-Extending Lender shall become due and payable on such Maturity Date and the total Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall be reduced by the Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders so terminated on such Maturity Date.

(f) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall not be effective with respect to any Lender unless (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto; and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article III and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent such representations and warranties are qualified by materiality in which case such representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) on and as of the date of the date of such extension, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.05(f), the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.04(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clause (a) of Section 5.01. As a condition precedent to each such extension, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the date of such extension and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying as to compliance with this Section 2.05(f). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to give effect to the extension of the Maturity Date of the Extending Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.05.

(g) Effect of Maturity Date Extensions. If the Maturity Date in respect of any tranche of Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Commitments in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have occurred are then in effect, (x) outstanding Loans shall be repaid pursuant to Section 2.10 on such Maturity Date in an amount sufficient to permit the reallocation of the LC Exposure relating to the outstanding Letters of Credit contemplated by clause (y) below and (y) such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make

50

Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.04(b)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that (A) the participations therein of Lenders under the maturing tranche shall be correspondingly released and (B) 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), but without limiting the obligations with respect thereto, the Borrower shall 100% cash collateralize, back-stop with a satisfactory letter of credit issued by a financial institution satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent or otherwise collateralize to the satisfaction of such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent the then undrawn and unexpired amount of any such Letter of Credit (without limiting the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of payments made by an Issuing Bank pursuant to a Letter of Credit).

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof in the applicable currency by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, in respect of Loans made in the Funding Office, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City or to such other account of the Borrower as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in each case designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available in the applicable currency on such date in accordance with Section 2.06(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount in the applicable currency. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing in the applicable currency available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in the applicable currency with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower in the applicable currency to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and (y) the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (including the Overnight Rate in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency) or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request (or as otherwise determined pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.03), as applicable. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, as applicable, in each case as provided in this Section 2.07. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the

51

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

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07, 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 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 facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b)) to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in the form of Exhibit F hereto (except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) signed by the Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Term Benchmark Borrowing or a SONIA 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 in respect of a Loan, 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 at the end of such Interest Period, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, such Borrowing shall be automatically continued for an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

52

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments under the Facility; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, (A) any Lender’s Credit Exposure would exceed its Commitment or (B) the Total Credit Exposure would exceed the total Commitments.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.08(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then-unpaid aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding on the Maturity Date.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type and currency thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto (if applicable), (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.09(b) or (c) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) (each such promissory note, a “Note”). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

53

SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.10(b).

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by electronic mail (or in any other manner provided for in Section 9.01(b))) of any prepayment hereunder and (i) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of prepayment of a SONIA Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., London time, five (5) Business Days before the date of prepayment and (iv) in the case of prepayment of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Euros, not later than 1:00 p.m., London time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the Facility under which the prepayment is to be made and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing under the Facility, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing under the Facility shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing, except as provided in Section 2.20. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

(c) The Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of Loans on any date on which the Dollar Amount of all outstanding Loans and LC Exposure (after giving effect to any other repayments or prepayments on such day) exceeds the total Commitments then in effect (including in each case, without limitation, solely as a result of fluctuation in Exchange Rates), in the amount of such excess and in the applicable currency; provided, however, that if such excess is solely as a result of fluctuation in Exchange Rates, (i) the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such amount until four (4) Business Days after notice from the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such amount unless such excess is greater than the Dollar Amount of an amount equal to 5% of the total Commitments. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), the aggregate amount of LC Exposure exceeds the total Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall cash collateralize LC Exposure by depositing, pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, cash with the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of such LC Exposure and the total Commitments then in effect. The Administrative Agent shall establish in its name for the benefit of the Lenders a collateral account into which it shall deposit such cash to hold as collateral security for the LC Exposure.

SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Commitment fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third (3rd) Business Day following such last day, commencing on the third (3rd) Business Day following December 31, 2026; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or

54

366 days, as the case may be) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans on the daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to the applicable Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to 0.125% on the daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the fifteenth (15th) day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.12. Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate, plus the Applicable Rate applicable to such Loans.

(b) The Loans comprising each Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall bear interest at Term SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing, plus the Applicable Rate applicable to such Loans.

(c) The Loans comprising each Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Euros shall bear interest at the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing, plus the Applicable Rate applicable to such Loans.

(d) The Loans comprising each SONIA Borrowing shall bear interest at the Daily Simple SONIA in effect for such Borrowing, plus the Applicable Rate applicable to such Loans.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity,

55

upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.0%, plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section 2.12 or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.0%, plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling as provided in Section 2.12(a).

(f) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.12(e) shall be payable within two (2) Business Days after written demand by the Administrative Agent, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(g) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days, as the case may be), except that interest computed with respect to Term Benchmark Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Term SOFR, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate or the Daily Simple SONIA, as applicable, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13. Inability to Determine Rates. With respect to any Term Benchmark Loan or SONIA Loan, subject to Section 2.21, if:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that:

(i) (A) if Term SOFR or Adjusted EURIBOR Rate is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, “Term SOFR” or “Adjusted EURIBOR Rate” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period or (B) if the Daily Simple SONIA is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, the “Daily Simple SONIA” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or

(ii) with respect to any such Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency, a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to such Foreign Currency (including changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls); or

(b) with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan or any request therefor or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof, the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that deposits in the applicable Agreed Currency are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable Agreed Currency, amount or Interest Period of such Term Benchmark Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent; or

56

(c) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for such Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that (i) if Term SOFR or the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, Term SOFR or the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining, continuing or converting to such Loan during the applicable Interest Period or (ii) if the Daily Simple SONIA is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, the Daily Simple SONIA does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining, continuing or converting to such Loans, and, in the case of clauses (i) or (ii), the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent,

then, in each case, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each applicable Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make Term Benchmark Loans or SONIA Loans, as applicable, in each such Agreed Currency, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan in each such Agreed Currency (if applicable) to or continue any Loan as a Term Benchmark Loans or SONIA Loan, as applicable, in each such Agreed Currency, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term Benchmark Loans or SONIA Loans or, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clauses (b) or (c), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for Term Benchmark Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans, or a SONIA Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SONIA Loans, in each case, in the applicable Agreed Currency and, failing that, (A) in the case of any request for any affected Term Benchmark Borrowing in Dollars, if applicable, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an ABR Borrowing or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) in the case of any request for any affected Term Benchmark Borrowing or SONIA Borrowing, in each case, in a Foreign Currency, if applicable, then such request shall be ineffective and (ii)(A) any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars, if applicable, will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans immediately and (B) any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans or SONIA Loans, in each case, denominated in a Foreign Currency, at the Borrower’s election, shall either (I) be converted into ABR Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the equivalent thereof in Dollars of such Foreign Currency) immediately or, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (II) be prepaid in full immediately or, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that, with respect to any SONIA Loan, if no election is made by the Borrower by the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (I) above; provided, further, that, with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan, if no election is made by the Borrower by the earlier of (x) the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Term Benchmark Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (I) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.15.

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) If any Governmental Authority shall have in effect at any time during the term of this Agreement any reserve, liquid asset or similar requirement with respect to any category of deposits or liabilities customarily used to fund Term Benchmark Loans or SONIA Loans, as applicable, or by reference to which interest rates applicable to Term Benchmark Loans or SONIA Loans, as applicable, are determined, and the result of such requirement shall be to increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining, continuing or converting to any Term Benchmark Loans or

57

SONIA Loans, as applicable, and such Lender shall have requested, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall specify the Statutory Reserve Percentage applicable to such Lender), compensation under this paragraph (a), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender (until the earlier of the date such Lender shall advise the Borrower that such requirement is no longer in effect or the date such Lender shall withdraw such request) amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such additional costs of making or maintaining, continuing or converting to such Term Benchmark Loans or SONIA Loans, as applicable.

(b) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or Issuing Bank (except to the extent covered by Section 2.14(a));

(ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank, the London interbank market or any applicable market any other cost or expense condition affecting this Agreement, Term Benchmark Loans or SONIA Loans, as applicable, made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation thereon; or

(iii) subject any Lender to any Tax (except for (1) Indemnified Taxes, (2) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (3) Other Connection Taxes imposed on net income, profits or revenue (including value-added or similar Taxes)) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining, continuing or converting to any Term Benchmark Loan or SONIA Loan (or, in the case of Section 2.14(b)(iii), any Loan) or maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, pursuant to any conversion of any Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency into a Borrowing denominated in any other Foreign Currency) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(c) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

58

(d) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 2.14(a), (b) or (c) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower in writing of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’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 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 (except that a Defaulting Lender required to assign its Loans under Section 2.19(b) shall not be entitled to compensation under this Section 2.15 in connection with such assignment), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Term Benchmark Loan, as applicable, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be an amount equal to the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at Term SOFR or the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, as applicable, that would have been applicable to such Loan, 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 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, in the applicable currency of 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 ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Taxes

. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that, if any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to deduct or withhold Taxes, then (i) such Withholding Agent shall so deduct and withhold and shall pay the

59

full amount of deducted or withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (ii) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including such deduction or withholding applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the Administrative Agent or each Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) The Borrower shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c) Without duplication of amounts payable under Sections 2.16(a) or (b), the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within (ten) 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16), and any 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. The Administrative Agent and each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, which will entitle it to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, 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) attributable to such Lender and any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement 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 a Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of 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, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) The Administrative Agent, each Lender and all recipients of payments to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder that are entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding or backup withholding Tax with respect to any payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the Effective Date (or, as applicable, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement) and from time to

60

time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or as otherwise prescribed by applicable law, such valid, properly completed and duly executed forms, certificates, and documentation (including, as applicable, the applicable U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY, or IRS Form W-9) prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of withholding. Any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to information reporting requirements. In addition, if a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable 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 complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each recipient of payment agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if the form is inaccurate because its payee status changes from beneficial owner to intermediary or vice versa), 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. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Lender, as applicable, shall reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in the Borrower’s challenging such Tax at the Borrower’s expense if requested by the Borrower (it being understood and agreed that none of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders shall have any obligation to contest, or any responsibility for contesting, any such Tax). If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender 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 (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.16 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make

61

available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations hereunder.

(i) For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees or reimbursements of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, in respect of payments of principal or interest relating to Borrowings, or in respect of any fees payable under this Agreement on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at the Funding Office, in respect of payments of principal or interest relating to Borrowings, or in respect of payments of any fees under this Agreement, or such other office as may be designated by the Administrative Agent by written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it to each Lender according to its ratable share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payments (or otherwise distribute such payments 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 (unless, in the case of a payment of interest on a Term Benchmark Loan, as applicable, such next succeeding Business Day would fall in the next calendar month, in which case such payment shall be due on the next preceding 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 Dollars; provided that any payment of principal or interest of an ABR Loan, Term Benchmark Loan, or SONIA Loan, as applicable, shall be made in the currency in which the Loan is denominated.

(b) At any time that payments are not required to be applied in the manner required by Section 7.02, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender under the Facility receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender under the Facility, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders under the Facility to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of

62

principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks 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 Issuing Banks, 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 Issuing Banks, 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 Bank 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 (a) the applicable Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and (b) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (including the Overnight Rate in the case of Loans denominated in Foreign Currency other than Dollars).

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.06(b) or 2.17(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections 2.06(b) and 2.17(d) until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.18. Currency Equivalents.

(a) No later than 12:00 Noon, London time, on each Calculation Date with respect to Euros and Pounds Sterling, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to such Foreign Currency. The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the relevant Calculation Date (a “Reset Date”), shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 9.16 and any other provision expressly requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts from such Foreign Currency to Dollars. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of an Exchange Rate hereunder.

(b) No later than 5:00 p.m., London time, with respect to Euros and Pounds Sterling, as applicable, on each Reset Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate Dollar Amount of the Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Euros or SONIA Loans, as applicable, then outstanding.

63

(c) If after giving effect to any determination under Section 2.18(b) and, in each case, to any borrowings and prepayments or repayments of Loans occurring on the applicable Reset Date, (i) the aggregate outstanding Dollar Amount of Loans exceeds the total Commitments then in effect by 5% or more or (ii) the aggregate outstanding Dollar Amount of Loans exceeds the total Commitments then in effect for a period of ten (10) consecutive Business Days, the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent setting forth such calculation in reasonable detail, prepay or cause to be prepaid outstanding Loans in the case of clauses (i) or (ii) above or take other action to the extent necessary to eliminate any such excess.

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or additional amount 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 Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. Each Lender will notify the Borrower promptly upon its determination that an event that is reasonably likely to result in the Borrower being required to pay any additional amount pursuant to Sections 2.14 or 2.16 has occurred, but failure of any Lender to provide such notice shall not affect such Lender’s rights or the Borrower’s obligations under such Sections 2.14 and 2.16.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting 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 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees (which may be one or more Lenders that have agreed to accept such assignment) that shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) other than in the case of a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Banks) to any Person that is not already a Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, 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) Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.19(b), in the event of illegality resulting solely from a Lender’s own gross negligence as a result of which such Lender is unable to maintain its Commitments or make any Loans required to be made by it pursuant to this Agreement (any such Lender, a “Non-Funding Lender”), then such Non-Funding Lender shall use reasonable best efforts to find a replacement bank, financial institution, trust, fund or other entity (“Replacement Lender”) to assume such

64

Non-Funding Lender’s obligations hereunder. Upon finding such Replacement Lender, and upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Non-Funding Lender shall assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Replacement Lender, which shall assume such obligations.

SECTION 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender hereunder, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Defaulting Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unused Commitments of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11;

(b) the Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded for purposes of any determination of whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that this clause (b) shall not apply in the case of any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each Lender affected thereby;

(c) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be applied in the following order of priority: (i) to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, (ii) to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank hereunder, (iii) to cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section 2.20, (iv) to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, (v) if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section 2.20, (vi) to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lenders’ breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and any amounts remaining after application thereof by the Administrative Agent as specified in this paragraph (c) shall be distributed to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Article IV were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to clause (d) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are

65

applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(d) if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that such reallocation does not, as to any non-Defaulting Lender, cause such non-Defaulting Lender’s Credit Exposure to exceed its Commitment;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized.

(e) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(d), and LC Exposure related to any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(d)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein)

(f) the Borrower may, upon notice to a Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), terminate the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender and in such event the provisions of Section 2.20(c) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) the Borrower may not terminate such Commitments if (A) an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or (B) after giving effect to such termination, as applicable, (x) the Total Credit Exposure would exceed the total Commitments or (y)

66

the total Loans would exceed the total Commitments and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(g) In the event that the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then, with the consent of the Borrower, the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent shall determine to be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.20 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.21. Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Benchmark Replacement.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.21(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii) No Swap Agreement shall constitute a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.21.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of

67

(x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.21(d) and (y) the commencement 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 2.21, 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 2.21.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or EURIBOR) 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 not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (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 not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for Term Benchmark Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans, or a SONIA Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SONIA Loans, in each case, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period denominated in the applicable Agreed Currency and, failing that, (A) in the case of any request for any affected Term Benchmark Borrowing in Dollars, if applicable, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an ABR Borrowing or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) in the case of any request for any affected Term Benchmark Borrowing or SONIA Borrower, in each case, in a Foreign Currency, if applicable, then such request shall be ineffective and (ii)(A) any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars, if applicable, will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans immediately and (B) any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans or SONIA Loans, in each case, denominated in a Foreign Currency, at the Borrower’s election, shall either (I) be converted into ABR Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the equivalent thereof in Dollars of such Foreign Currency) immediately or, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (II) be prepaid in full immediately or, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that with respect to any SONIA Loan, if no election is made by the Borrower by the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (I) above; provided, further that, with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan, if no election is made by the Borrower by the earlier of (x) the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Term Benchmark Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (I) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or

68

converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.15. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to any Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark that is the subject of such Benchmark Unavailability Period or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.

SECTION 2.22. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SONIA, Daily Simple SONIA, the EURIBOR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon SONIA, Daily Simple SONIA, the EURIBOR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate or Term SOFR, or, with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan, any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, any applicable Agreed Currency in the applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable Agreed Currency, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”), (a) any obligation of such Lender, having delivered an Illegality Notice to the Borrower, to make SONIA Loans or Term Benchmark Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended, and any such Loan shall be made as an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such Foreign Currency) and (b) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the ABR without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, in each case until such affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from such affected Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, (i) convert all Term Benchmark Loans of such Lender denominated in Dollars to ABR Loans or (ii) convert all SONIA Loans or Term Benchmark Loans of such Lender denominated in an affected Foreign Currency to ABR Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such Foreign Currency) (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the ABR without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”), (A) with respect to Term Benchmark Loans, on the Interest Payment Date therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans to such day or (B) with respect to SONIA Loans, immediately. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.15.

If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U.

71

The proceeds of the Loans and Letters of Credit shall be used for general corporate purposes or for any other purpose not prohibited by this Agreement; provided that the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not use, loan, contribute, or otherwise make such proceeds available, directly or knowingly indirectly, (i) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (ii) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, in each case, to the extent prohibited for a Person required to comply with applicable Sanctions or (iii) in any other manner that would cause any party to this Agreement to be in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, any Anti-Money Laundering Laws or Sanctions.

SECTION 3.17. Employment and Labor Relations.

Article VIII  

The Administrative Agent

SECTION 8.01. Authorization and Action. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent 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, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 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. Except as provided in Sections 8.03, the provisions of this Section 8 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and their respective Related Parties, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or as an Issuing Bank as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its 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 the Administrative Agent hereunder.

SECTION 8.02. Administrative Agent’s Reliance; Limitation of Liability, Etc. The Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02, or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty

91

or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative 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. The Administrative 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. Any Lender or Issuing Bank executing this Agreement or an Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to have consented to and be satisfied with each document or matter required thereunder to be acceptable to it.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective 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 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. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in selecting such sub-agent.

SECTION 8.03. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint from among the Lenders a successor reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (except that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). 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 gives notice of its resignation (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (except that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (e) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as

92

Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender or each Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.04. Acknowledgements of Lenders and Issuing Banks. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank 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 and each Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger nor any of their respective Related Parties has made any representation or warranty to it and that no act taken or failure to act by any of them (including any consent to an Assignment and Assumption or any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Subsidiary) shall be deemed to constitute such a representation or warranty to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any other Person as to any matter, including whether any such Person has disclosed material information in its possession, and no Lender or Issuing Bank shall assert any claim under any federal or state securities law or otherwise in contravention of this Section 8.04.

SECTION 8.05. Certain ERISA Matters. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender or an Issuing Bank party hereto, to and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender or an Issuing Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender or an Issuing Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender or such Issuing Bank is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments,

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,

93

(iii) (A) such Lender or such Issuing Bank is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender or such Issuing Bank to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

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

In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding paragraph is true with respect to a Lender or an Issuing Bank or such Lender or such Issuing Bank has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding paragraph, such Lender or such Issuing Bank further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender or an Issuing Bank party hereto, to and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender or an Issuing Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender or an Issuing Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that none of the Administrative Agent, or any Lead Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender or such Issuing Bank (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any documents related hereto or thereto).

SECTION 8.06. No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, and each Lead Arranger hereby informs the Lenders and the Issuing Banks that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans or the Commitments by such Lender or such Issuing Bank or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

SECTION 8.07. Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, Issuing Bank or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank (any such Lender, Issuing Bank or other recipient, and each of their respective successors and assigns, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the

94

Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 8.07 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns) agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

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

(ii) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.07(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.07(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 8.07(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

95

(c) Each Lender or Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under the immediately preceding clause (a).

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Subject to Section 9.04 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an

96

Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(f) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this Section 8.07 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent.

(g) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(h) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.07 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or

98

the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders (it being understood that amendments or waivers of conditions precedent, representations, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Lender) or by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect, mistake or inconsistency so long as the Lenders shall have received at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within ten (10) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that any amendment, modification or waiver to Section 2.12(e) shall not be subject to this clause (ii)), (iii) postpone the final maturity date of any Loan, or postpone the scheduled date of payment of any principal, interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (iv) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02 or the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Applicable Percentage” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change the last sentence of Section 2.08(c) or change Section 2.17 or Section 7.02 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby among Lenders, without the written consent of each such Lender adversely affected thereby, (vi) release all or substantially all of the (a) Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee Agreement or (b) value of the Guarantees in respect of the Obligations, in each case, other than in connection with a transaction or series of transactions not prohibited by this Agreement without the written consent of all Lenders, (vii) add any Foreign Currencies to the Facility without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby or (viii) consent to the release, assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement other than in connection with a transaction or series of transactions not prohibited by this Agreement without the written consent of all Lenders; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Banks, as the case may be; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.04 or any letter of credit application and any bilateral agreement between the Borrower and an Issuing Bank or the respective rights and obligations between the Borrower and an Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance of Letters of Credit without the prior written consent of such Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in sub-clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso of this paragraph (b) and then

99

only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be directly affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay, and without duplication, (i) except as otherwise agreed, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Documentation Agents, limited, in the case of legal fees, to the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple material jurisdictions)) for the Administrative Agent, but excluding Taxes, which are covered by Section 2.16, in connection with the administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by an Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents and the Lenders (limited, in the case of legal fees, to the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements and other charges of one counsel for all such Persons taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for all such Persons taken as a whole in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple material jurisdictions) and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest between such Person where the Persons affected by such conflict inform the Borrower of such conflict, one additional counsel and one additional local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction to each group of affected Persons similarly situated taken as a whole), but excluding Taxes which are covered by Section 2.16, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender, each Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent 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, to the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements and other charges of one counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple material jurisdictions) and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest between Indemnitees where the Indemnitees affected by such conflict inform the Borrower of such conflict, one additional counsel and one additional local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction to each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated taken as a whole), but excluding Taxes, which are covered by Section 2.16, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of 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 Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank 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 Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or 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 in any way to 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 regardless of whether such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any other party; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be

100

available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or material breach by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties of such Person’s obligations under this Agreement, or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties and that no Lender shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising out of a dispute between such Lender and its assignees or Participants or solely between Lenders (other than disputes resulting from an act or material omission by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in violation of this Agreement).

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under Sections 9.03(a) or (b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; 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 in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law (i) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) and (ii) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing in this clause (d)(ii) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party as set forth in clause (a) above.

(e) All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable not later than thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, except where the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith in appropriate proceedings by the Borrower.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04, (iii) no assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates, or any person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (iii) and (iv) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in Section 9.04(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

101

(b) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than (x) a natural person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person, (y) the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or (z) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, participation in Letters of Credit and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the Borrower; provided that (i) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01, any other assignee and (ii) where the consent of the Borrower is required, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment to which it has not objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice thereof;

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; and

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default specified in clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, which fees shall not be payable by the Borrower, except in connection with the replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.19; and

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

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(iv), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be subject to its obligations under Section 9.12 for a period of one year following the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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 Section 9.04(c).

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements 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 Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower , any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 9.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (b).

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than (x) a natural person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person, (y) the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or (z) any Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution or any of their respective Affiliates) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks 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

103

the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 9.04(c)(ii), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.16(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b). Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that 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 Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(i) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 9.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(f) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its respective promissory note to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) (i) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to

104

such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment or participation in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment, or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender and (y) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment or participation in violation of this clause (e)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (e) shall apply.

(ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Commitment or (B) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders or Issuing Banks by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders, Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or the Issuing Banks or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks and (B) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders or Issuing Banks that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter.

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on an Approved Electronic Platform or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or

105

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 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 Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or a Lender, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. 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 and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b)) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, and words of like import in this Agreement including any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Commitments have been terminated and the Loans then outstanding have been declared due and payable as a result thereof, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of their respective 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) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.20 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as

106

to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respect Affiliates under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender, such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.08 shall not apply to amounts held by the Borrower in trust for the benefit of others or in its capacity as a servicer in connection with a Securitization Transaction.

SECTION 9.09. 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 in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity).

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan (or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan), 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 Federal (to the extent permitted by law) or New York State court.

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Lender or its respective Affiliates; provided, however, that with respect to disclosures pursuant to this clause (b) (other than with respect to any audit or examination conducted by any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority unless such audit or examination specifically targets the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, the Transactions or the Information) or the following clause (c) of this Section 9.12, unless prohibited by law or applicable court order, each disclosing Person shall promptly inform the Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof or other Person for disclosure of Information, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and if reasonably practicable, before disclosure of such Information, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12, to any credit insurance provider or service provider relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (f) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (g) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12 to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, or any sub-Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative transaction or other transaction under which payments are to be made relating to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, other than, in each case, to any Disqualified Institution, (h) on a confidential basis to, with the consent of the Borrower, (1) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided herein or (2) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of identification numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided herein, (i) with the consent of the Borrower, (j) to the extent such Information (1) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12 by the disclosing party or any of its directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, (2) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries (other than by any source known by such disclosing party to have an obligation of confidentiality with respect to the disclosed Information) or (3) to the extent pertaining to the existence and terms of this Agreement, market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the extent such information is customarily provided to such Persons in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the Commitments hereunder, (k) to the extent applicable and reasonably necessary or advisable, for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense in connection with any legal, judicial, administrative proceeding or other process or (l) to the extent that such information is independently developed by such Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender so long as not based on information obtained in a manner that would otherwise violate this Section 9.12.

SECTION 9.15. No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 9.15, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that nothing in this Agreement or any related documentation or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Lenders and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any related documentation are arm’s length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each of the Lenders is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person, (iii) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and any related documentation and (iv) the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

SECTION 9.16. Conversion of Currencies.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the

109

Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 9.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 9.17. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions, Etc.. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document 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 an applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

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

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

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

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

SECTION 9.18. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that this Agreement provides support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for hedging agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that this Agreement and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

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

110

Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

SECTION 9.19. Release of Guarantees. A Guarantor (other than the Borrower) shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall automatically be terminated, in each case, upon (i) the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Guarantor (other than a Material Indebtedness Guarantor) ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or required to be a Guarantor hereunder; provided that, if so required by Section 9.02, the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction, (ii) such Guarantor (other than a Material Indebtedness Guarantor) becoming an Excluded Subsidiary; provided that the Borrower has elected for such Excluded Subsidiary to be released from its Guarantee or (iii) in the case of a Material Indebtedness Guarantor, at such time as (A) the Borrower shall have terminated (or the aggregate principal amount of all of the Indebtedness that would give rise to the obligation under Section 6.10 shall have been reduced, collectively, to an aggregate principal amount equal to $500,000,000 or less) all guarantees of all Indebtedness of such Material Indebtedness Guarantor that gave rise to the obligation under Section 6.10, (B) no Guarantee by the Borrower of Indebtedness of such Person (in the aggregate) would independently require such Person to become a Material Indebtedness Guarantor pursuant to Section 6.10 and (C) the Borrower shall have furnished written notice to the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 9.02) to take any action requested by Borrower having the effect of releasing any guarantee obligations to the extent not prohibited by any Loan Document or consented to in accordance with Section 9.02. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Guarantor (other than a Material Indebtedness Guarantor) that is a guarantor with respect to any Specified Borrower Indebtedness shall not be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be terminated pursuant to any Loan Document, in each case, so long as it remains a guarantor of such Specified Borrower Indebtedness. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 9.19, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release so long as the Borrower or applicable Loan Party shall have provided the Administrative Agent such certifications or documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request in order to demonstrate compliance with this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any certificate delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.19 (or provided to it by the Borrower upon its reasonable request) without further inquiry and any such release, termination or discharge pursuant to this Section 9.19 shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.20. 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 9.20 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

111

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 or payable in respect of such Loan or other Obligation exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate.

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(a) in the case of clauses (a) or (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the later of (i) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (ii) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(b) in the case of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be non-representative; provided that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clauses (a) or (b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Event” means, with respect to the then-current Benchmark, the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to such Benchmark:

(c) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Start Date” means, with respect to any Benchmark, in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, the earlier of (a) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (b) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the 90th day prior to the expected date of such event as of such public statement or publication of information (or if the expected date of such prospective event is fewer than ninety (90) days after such statement or publication, the date of such statement or publication).

The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) 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 ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to 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.

SECTION 1.07. Divisions. For all purposes under this Agreement, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

Article II  

The Credits

SECTION 2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make revolving loans denominated in Dollars (the “Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (x) such Lender’s Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment or (y) the Total Credit Exposure exceeding the total Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans. No portion of the Loan will be funded (initially or through participation, assignment, transfer or securitization) with plan assets of any Benefit Plan if it would cause the Borrower to incur any prohibited transaction excise tax penalties under Section 4975 of the Code or otherwise result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction.

SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender under the Facility to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender under the Facility of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

37

(b) Subject to Section 2.13 and Section 2.21, each Borrowing shall be available in the Funding Office and consist entirely of ABR Loans or Term SOFR Loans bearing interest at Term SOFR. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) any such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender shall not be entitled to request compensation under Section 2.14 at the time such Loan is made.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Term SOFR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (and not less than $10,000,000). At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 10 Borrowings.

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

(e) The Borrower may from time to time elect to increase the Commitments of the Facility in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof) in respect of the Facility so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Facility, together with the commitments under the Five-Year Revolving Facility, does not exceed $14,000,000,000. The Borrower may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders with a Commitment in the Facility (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”; it being understood and agreed that each Lender of the Facility approached to provide any such increase shall have the right, but not the obligation, to provide such increase), or by one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”), to increase their existing Commitments in respect of the Facility, or extend Commitments in respect of the Facility, as the case may be; provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender, shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto. Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this paragraph (e) shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Lenders with a Commitment in the Facility and the Administrative Agent shall notify each affected Lender thereof; provided that no increase in the Commitments created pursuant to this paragraph (e) shall become effective less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender), shall become effective under this paragraph (e) unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(a) and (b) shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders with a Commitment in the Facility and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date under Section 4.01 as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase. On the effective date of any increase in the Commitments of the Facility, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender with a Commitment in the Facility and Augmenting Lender with a Commitment in the Facility shall make

38

available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other relevant Lenders in the Facility, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other relevant Lenders in the Facility, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Loans under the Facility of all the Lenders with Commitments in the Facility to equal its Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Loans under the Facility, (ii) the Lenders shall purchase and assume (without recourse or warranty) from the Lenders undivided participation interests in any outstanding LC Exposure to the extent necessary to ensure that after giving effect to any such increase in the Commitments of the Facility, each Lender has outstanding Loans and participation interests in outstanding LC Exposure equal to its Applicable Percentage and (iii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and re-borrowed all outstanding Loans of the Facility as of the date of any increase in the Commitments of the Facility (with such re-borrowing to consist of the Types of Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence in respect of any Term SOFR Loan shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.15 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods.

SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of the proposed ABR Borrowing and (b) in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Term SOFR Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b)) to the Administrative Agent in the Funding Office of a written Borrowing Request in the form of Exhibit E hereto (except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

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

(iii) [reserved];

(iv) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing;

(v) in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(vi) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06.

If no election as to the Type of the requested Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term SOFR 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, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

39

SECTION 2.04. Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the foregoing and to the other terms and conditions set forth herein, and with the consent (in its sole discretion) of the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars as the applicant thereof for the support of its or its Subsidiaries’ obligations, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each relevant Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (1) no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit hereunder unless such Issuing Bank has agreed to do so in its sole discretion, (2) no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Letter of Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (i) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement or (iii) in any manner that would result in a violation of one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally. An Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or direct that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) and (3) no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation hereunder to issue any Letter of Credit other than a standby Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank shall so agree.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to any Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, but in any event no less than three (3) Business Days) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying (A) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.04(c)), (C) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, (D) the Borrower as the account party and, if desired by the Borrower, one or more Subsidiaries as additional account parties and (E) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. In addition, as a condition to any such Letter of Credit issuance, the Borrower shall have entered into a continuing agreement (or other letter of credit agreement) for the issuance of letters of credit and/or shall submit a letter of credit application, in each case, as required by the applicable Issuing Bank and using such bank’s standard form (each, a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall any Issuing Bank issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (ii) any Lender’s Credit Exposure would exceed its Commitment or (iii) the Total Credit Exposure would exceed the total Commitments (each of the foregoing, in addition to, and without limiting, the discretion of the applicable Issuing Bank set forth in

40

Section 2.04(a)). Upon the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence have been satisfied after giving effect thereto.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination by notice from an Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date 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 year after the then-current expiration date at the time of such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii)).

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.04(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph (d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent in Dollars such LC Disbursement, calculated as of the date the Issuing Bank made such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the first (1st) Business Day immediately following the date that such LC Disbursement is made; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with a Dollar denominated ABR Loan on the date on which such drawing is honored and in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing 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 fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (e), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph (e) to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph

41

(e) to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a 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 Section 2.04(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and 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, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (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 an Issuing Bank 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 2.04, 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 Issuing Banks, 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 Issuing Banks. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable ruling), such Issuing Bank 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, each Issuing Bank 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. Each Issuing Bank shall, within the period stipulated by terms and conditions of the applicable Letter of Credit, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telecopy or electronic mail of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank 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 such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on 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 reimbursement is due and payable at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.04(e), then Section 2.12(e) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph (h) shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

42

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. (i) An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of Issuing Banks under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Banks, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank 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.

(ii) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.06(i) above.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph (j), the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.01(h) or (i). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. 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 and at the Borrower’s risk and 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 any Issuing Bank 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 or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k) Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, or states that a Subsidiary is the “account party,” “applicant,” “customer,” “instructing party,” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect of such

43

Letter of Credit, the Borrower (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(l) Stated Amount. The Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) or such lesser amount as the applicable Issuing Bank has agreed to.

SECTION 2.05. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City or to such other account of the Borrower as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in each case designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available in Dollars on such date in accordance with Section 2.06(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount in Dollars. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing in Dollars available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Dollars with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower in Dollars to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and (y) the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request (or as otherwise determined pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.03), as applicable. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, as applicable, in each case as provided in this Section 2.07. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

44

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07, 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 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 facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b)) to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in the form of Exhibit F hereto (except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) signed by the Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Term SOFR 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 SOFR 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 in respect of a Loan, 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 SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then at the end of such Interest Period, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, such Borrowing shall be automatically continued for an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term SOFR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Term SOFR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments under the Facility; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of

45

Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, (A) any Lender’s Credit Exposure would exceed its Commitment or (B) the Total Credit Exposure would exceed the total Commitments.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.08(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then-unpaid aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding on the Maturity Date.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type and currency thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto (if applicable), (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.09(b) or (c) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) (each such promissory note, a “Note”). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.10(b).

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by electronic mail (or in any other manner provided for in Section 9.01(b))) of any prepayment hereunder

46

and (i) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Term SOFR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing under the Facility, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing under the Facility shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing, except as provided in Section 2.20. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

(c) The Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of Loans on any date on which the outstanding principal amount of all outstanding Loans and LC Exposure (after giving effect to any other repayments or prepayments on such day) exceeds the total Commitments then in effect, in the amount of such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), the aggregate amount of LC Exposure exceeds the total Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall cash collateralize LC Exposure by depositing, pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, cash with the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of such LC Exposure and the total Commitments then in effect. The Administrative Agent shall establish in its name for the benefit of the Lenders a collateral account into which it shall deposit such cash to hold as collateral security for the LC Exposure.

SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Commitment fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third (3rd) Business Day following such last day, commencing on the third (3rd) Business Day following December 31, 2026; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days, as the case may be) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Term SOFR Loans on the daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to the applicable Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum in an amount to be agreed between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank, which shall accrue on the daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued

47

through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the fifteenth (15th) day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) In the event that the Borrower elects to exercise the Term-Out Option under Section 2.23, then, on the Scheduled Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a term-out fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s outstanding Loans that have been termed out on the Scheduled Termination Date pursuant to such exercise of the Term-Out Option.

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.12. Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate, plus the Applicable Rate applicable to such Loans.

(b) The Loans comprising each Term SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at Term SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing, plus the Applicable Rate applicable to such Loans.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.0%, plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.12 or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.0%, plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be payable within two (2) Business Days after written demand by the Administrative Agent, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Term SOFR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days, as the case may be), except that interest computed with respect to Term SOFR Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of

48

days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Term SOFR, as applicable, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13. Inability to Determine Rates. With respect to any Term SOFR Loan, subject to Section 2.21, if:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that if Term SOFR is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period; or

(b) with respect to any Term SOFR Loan or any request therefor or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof, the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that deposits in Dollars are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for Dollars, amount or Interest Period of such Term SOFR Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent; or

(c) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for such Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that if Term SOFR is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining, continuing or converting to such Loan during the applicable Interest Period and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent,

then, in each case, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each applicable Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make Term SOFR Loans and any right of the Borrower to continue any Loan as a Term SOFR Loan shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clauses (b) or (c), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for Term SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans and, failing that, in the case of any request for any affected Term SOFR Borrowing, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an ABR Borrowing or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans immediately. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.15.

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) If any Governmental Authority shall have in effect at any time during the term of this Agreement any reserve, liquid asset or similar requirement with respect to any category of deposits or liabilities customarily used to fund Term SOFR Loans or by reference to which interest rates applicable to Term SOFR Loans are determined, and the result of such requirement shall be to increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining, continuing or converting to any Term SOFR Loans and such Lender shall have requested, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall specify the Statutory Reserve Percentage applicable to such Lender), compensation under this paragraph (a), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender (until the earlier of the date such Lender shall advise the Borrower that such requirement is no longer in effect or the date such Lender shall withdraw such request) amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such additional costs of making or maintaining, continuing or converting to such Term SOFR Loans.

(b) If any Change in Law shall:

49

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or Issuing Bank (except to the extent covered by Section 2.14(a));

(ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank, the London interbank market or any applicable market any other cost or expense condition affecting this Agreement, Term SOFR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation thereon; or

(iii) subject any Lender to any Tax (except for (1) Indemnified Taxes, (2) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (3) Other Connection Taxes imposed on net income, profits or revenue (including value-added or similar Taxes)) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining, continuing or converting to any Term SOFR Loan or maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(c) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(d) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 2.14(a), (b) or (c) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180

50

days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower in writing of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’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 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Term SOFR 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 2.19 (except that a Defaulting Lender required to assign its Loans under Section 2.19(b) shall not be entitled to compensation under this Section 2.15 in connection with such assignment), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be an amount equal to the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at Term SOFR that would have been applicable to such Loan, 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 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, in the applicable currency of 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 ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Taxes

. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that, if any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to deduct or withhold Taxes, then (i) such Withholding Agent shall so deduct and withhold and shall pay the full amount of deducted or withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (ii) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including such deduction or withholding applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the Administrative Agent or each Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) The Borrower shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c) Without duplication of amounts payable under Sections 2.16(a) or (b), the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within (ten) 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative

51

Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16), and any 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. The Administrative Agent and each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, which will entitle it to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, 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) attributable to such Lender and any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement 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 a Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of 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, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) The Administrative Agent, each Lender and all recipients of payments to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder that are entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding or backup withholding Tax with respect to any payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the Effective Date (or, as applicable, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement) and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or as otherwise prescribed by applicable law, such valid, properly completed and duly executed forms, certificates, and documentation (including, as applicable, the applicable U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY, or IRS Form W-9) prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of withholding. Any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to information reporting requirements. In addition, if a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable 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

52

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 complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each recipient of payment agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if the form is inaccurate because its payee status changes from beneficial owner to intermediary or vice versa), 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. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Lender, as applicable, shall reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in the Borrower’s challenging such Tax at the Borrower’s expense if requested by the Borrower (it being understood and agreed that none of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders shall have any obligation to contest, or any responsibility for contesting, any such Tax). If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender 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 (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.16 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.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations hereunder.

(i) For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees or reimbursements of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or

53

otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, in respect of payments of principal or interest relating to Borrowings, or in respect of any fees payable under this Agreement on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at the Funding Office, in respect of payments of principal or interest relating to Borrowings, or in respect of payments of any fees under this Agreement, or such other office as may be designated by the Administrative Agent by written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it to each Lender according to its ratable share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payments (or otherwise distribute such payments 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 (unless, in the case of a payment of interest on a Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, such next succeeding Business Day would fall in the next calendar month, in which case such payment shall be due on the next preceding 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 Dollars.

(b) At any time that payments are not required to be applied in the manner required by Section 7.02, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender under the Facility receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender under the Facility, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders under the Facility to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks 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 Issuing Banks, 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 Issuing Banks, 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 Bank 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 (a) the applicable Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and (b) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.06(b) or 2.17(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections 2.06(b) and 2.17(d) until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.18. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or additional amount 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 Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. Each Lender will notify the Borrower promptly upon its determination that an event that is reasonably likely to result in the Borrower being required to pay any additional amount pursuant to Sections 2.14 or 2.16 has occurred, but failure of any Lender to provide such notice shall not affect such Lender’s rights or the Borrower’s obligations under such Sections 2.14 and 2.16.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting 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 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees (which may be one or more Lenders that have agreed to accept such assignment) that shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) other than in the case of a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Banks) to any Person that is not already a Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and

55

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, 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) Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.19(b), in the event of illegality resulting solely from a Lender’s own gross negligence as a result of which such Lender is unable to maintain its Commitments or make any Loans required to be made by it pursuant to this Agreement (any such Lender, a “Non-Funding Lender”), then such Non-Funding Lender shall use reasonable best efforts to find a replacement bank, financial institution, trust, fund or other entity (“Replacement Lender”) to assume such Non-Funding Lender’s obligations hereunder. Upon finding such Replacement Lender, and upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Non-Funding Lender shall assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Replacement Lender, which shall assume such obligations.

SECTION 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender hereunder, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Defaulting Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unused Commitments of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11;

(b) the Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded for purposes of any determination of whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that this clause (b) shall not apply in the case of any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each Lender affected thereby;

(c) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be applied in the following order of priority: (i) to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, (ii) to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank hereunder, (iii) to cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section 2.20, (iv) to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, (v) if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section 2.20, (vi) to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lenders’ breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and any amounts remaining after application thereof by the Administrative Agent as specified in this paragraph (c) shall be distributed to such

56

Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Article IV were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to clause (d) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(d) if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that such reallocation does not, as to any non-Defaulting Lender, cause such non-Defaulting Lender’s Credit Exposure to exceed its Commitment;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized.

(e) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with

57

Section 2.20(d), and LC Exposure related to any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(d)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein)

(f) the Borrower may, upon notice to a Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), terminate the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender and in such event the provisions of Section 2.20(c) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) the Borrower may not terminate such Commitments if (A) an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or (B) after giving effect to such termination, as applicable, (x) the Total Credit Exposure would exceed the total Commitments or (y) the total Loans would exceed the total Commitments and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(g) In the event that the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then, with the consent of the Borrower, the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent shall determine to be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.20 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.21. Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Benchmark Replacement.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.21(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii) No Swap Agreement shall constitute a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.21.

58

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.21(d) and (y) the commencement 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 2.21, 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 2.21.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (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 not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (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 not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Term SOFR Borrowing or, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an ABR Borrowing or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans immediately. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.15. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark that is the subject of such Benchmark Unavailability Period or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.

59

SECTION 2.22. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”), (a) any obligation of such Lender, having delivered an Illegality Notice to the Borrower, to make Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended, and any such Loan shall be made as an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars and (b) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the ABR without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, in each case until such affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from such affected Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the ABR without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”), on the Interest Payment Date therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.15.

SECTION 2.23. Term-Out Option. The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not fewer than five (5) Business Days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date, elect (such election, the “Term-Out Option”), effective as of the Scheduled Termination Date (the “Term-Out Date”), to extend the Maturity Date for all or, on a ratable basis as among the Lenders, a portion of the Loans outstanding on the Scheduled Termination Date to September 28, 2028; provided that such extension of the Maturity Date shall become effective only if, on and as of the Term-Out Date, (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on such date, (b) the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article III and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent such representations and warranties are qualified by materiality in which case such representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) on and as of the date of such extension, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.23, the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.04(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clause (a) of Section 5.01, and (c) the Borrower shall have paid the term-out fee to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(c). In the event the Maturity Date shall be so extended, (i) all Loans that are subject to such extension and outstanding on the Scheduled Termination Date shall continue to constitute Loans following such date, (ii) all Loans that are not subject to such extension but are outstanding on the Scheduled Termination Date shall be repaid on such date and (iii) the Commitments will terminate and the commitment fee shall cease to accrue on the Scheduled Termination Date.

(a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants.

Each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all material Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all material Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.09. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, individually or in the aggregate with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. If all of the Plans were terminated (disregarding any Plans with surpluses), the unfunded liabilities with respect to all such Plans, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10. Disclosure. (a) As of the Effective Date, no written information furnished (other than projected financial information, estimates, forecasts, other forward-looking information or general economic or industry information) by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement when taken as a whole and together with the Borrower’s filings with the SEC, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein taken as a whole, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading (in each case, as modified or supplemented by other written information so furnished); provided that with respect to projected financial information, estimates, forecasts and other forward-looking information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time (it being understood that the actual results may differ significantly from the projected financial information, estimates, forecasts and other forward-looking information) and such differences may be material.

If

62

requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U.

SECTION 3.12. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans and Letters of Credit shall be used for general corporate purposes or for any other purpose not prohibited by this Agreement; provided that the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not use, loan, contribute, or otherwise make such proceeds available, directly or knowingly indirectly, (i) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (ii) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, in each case, to the extent prohibited for a Person required to comply with applicable Sanctions or (iii) in any other manner that would cause any party to this Agreement to be in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, any Anti-Money Laundering Laws or Sanctions.

SECTION 3.16. Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions. The Borrower is not an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations).

Article VIII  

The Administrative Agent

SECTION 8.01. Authorization and Action(a) . Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent 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, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 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. Except as provided in Sections 8.03, the provisions of this Section 8 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and their respective Related Parties, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or as an Issuing Bank as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its 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 the Administrative Agent hereunder.

SECTION 8.02. Administrative Agent’s Reliance; Limitation of Liability, Etc. The Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02, or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty

82

or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative 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. The Administrative 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. Any Lender or Issuing Bank executing this Agreement or an Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to have consented to and be satisfied with each document or matter required thereunder to be acceptable to it.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective 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 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. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in selecting such sub-agent.

SECTION 8.03. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint from among the Lenders a successor reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (except that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). 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 gives notice of its resignation (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (except that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (e) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as

83

Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender or each Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.04. Acknowledgements of Lenders and Issuing Banks. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank 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 and each Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger nor any of their respective Related Parties has made any representation or warranty to it and that no act taken or failure to act by any of them (including any consent to an Assignment and Assumption or any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Subsidiary) shall be deemed to constitute such a representation or warranty to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any other Person as to any matter, including whether any such Person has disclosed material information in its possession, and no Lender or Issuing Bank shall assert any claim under any federal or state securities law or otherwise in contravention of this Section 8.04.

SECTION 8.05. Certain ERISA Matters. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender or an Issuing Bank party hereto, to and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender or an Issuing Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender or an Issuing Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender or such Issuing Bank is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments,

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,

84

(iii) (A) such Lender or such Issuing Bank is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender or such Issuing Bank to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

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

In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding paragraph is true with respect to a Lender or an Issuing Bank or such Lender or such Issuing Bank has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding paragraph, such Lender or such Issuing Bank further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender or an Issuing Bank party hereto, to and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender or an Issuing Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender or an Issuing Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that none of the Administrative Agent, or any Lead Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender or such Issuing Bank (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any documents related hereto or thereto).

SECTION 8.06. No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, and each Lead Arranger hereby informs the Lenders and the Issuing Banks that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans or the Commitments by such Lender or such Issuing Bank or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

SECTION 8.07. Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, Issuing Bank or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank (any such Lender, Issuing Bank or other recipient, and each of their respective successors and assigns, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the

85

Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 8.07 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns) agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

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

(ii) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.07(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.07(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 8.07(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

86

(c) Each Lender or Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under the immediately preceding clause (a).

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Subject to Section 9.04 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an

87

Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(f) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this Section 8.07 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent.

(g) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(h) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.07 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or

89

the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders (it being understood that amendments or waivers of conditions precedent, representations, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Lender) or by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect, mistake or inconsistency so long as the Lenders shall have received at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within ten (10) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that any amendment, modification or waiver to Section 2.12(c) shall not be subject to this clause (ii)), (iii) postpone the final maturity date of any Loan, or postpone the scheduled date of payment of any principal, interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, in each case, other than as provided in Section 2.23, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (iv) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02 or the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Applicable Percentage” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change the last sentence of Section 2.08(c) or change Section 2.17 or Section 7.02 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby among Lenders, without the written consent of each such Lender adversely affected thereby, (vi) release all or substantially all of the (a) Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee Agreement or (b) value of the Guarantees in respect of the Obligations, in each case, other than in connection with a transaction or series of transactions not prohibited by this Agreement without the written consent of all Lenders, (vii) amend, waive or otherwise modify the definition of “Letter of Credit Sublimit” or otherwise provide for (or increase) any sublimit for the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, in each case, without the written consent of all Lenders or (viii) consent to the release, assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement other than in connection with a transaction or series of transactions not prohibited by this Agreement without the written consent of all Lenders; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Banks, as the case may be; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.04 or any letter of credit application and any bilateral agreement between the Borrower and an Issuing Bank or the respective rights and obligations between the Borrower and an Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance of Letters of Credit without the prior written consent of such Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement

90

shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in sub-clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso of this paragraph (b) and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be directly affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay, and without duplication, (i) except as otherwise agreed, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Documentation Agents, limited, in the case of legal fees, to the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple material jurisdictions)) for the Administrative Agent, but excluding Taxes, which are covered by Section 2.16, in connection with the administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by an Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents and the Lenders (limited, in the case of legal fees, to the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements and other charges of one counsel for all such Persons taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for all such Persons taken as a whole in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple material jurisdictions) and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest between such Person where the Persons affected by such conflict inform the Borrower of such conflict, one additional counsel and one additional local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction to each group of affected Persons similarly situated taken as a whole), but excluding Taxes which are covered by Section 2.16, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender, each Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent 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, to the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements and other charges of one counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple material jurisdictions) and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest between Indemnitees where the Indemnitees affected by such conflict inform the Borrower of such conflict, one additional counsel and one additional local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction to each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated taken as a whole), but excluding Taxes, which are covered by Section 2.16, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of 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 Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank 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 Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or 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 in any way to 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

91

a party thereto and regardless of whether such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any other party; 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 non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or material breach by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties of such Person’s obligations under this Agreement, or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties and that no Lender shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising out of a dispute between such Lender and its assignees or Participants or solely between Lenders (other than disputes resulting from an act or material omission by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in violation of this Agreement).

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under Sections 9.03(a) or (b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; 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 in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law (i) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) and (ii) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing in this clause (d)(ii) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party as set forth in clause (a) above.

(e) All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable not later than thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, except where the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith in appropriate proceedings by the Borrower.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04, (iii) no assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates, or any person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (iii) and (iv) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in Section 9.04(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Issuing

92

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

(b) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than (x) a natural person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person, (y) the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or (z) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, participation in Letters of Credit and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the Borrower; provided that (i) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01, any other assignee and (ii) where the consent of the Borrower is required, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment to which it has not objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice thereof;

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; and

(C) Each Issuing Bank.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default specified in clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, which fees shall not be payable by the Borrower, except in connection with the replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.19; and

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

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(iv), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be subject to its obligations under Section 9.12 for a period of one year following the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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 Section 9.04(c).

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements 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 Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower , any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 9.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (b).

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than (x) a natural person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person, (y) the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or (z) any Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution or any of their respective Affiliates) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks 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

94

Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 9.04(c)(ii), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.16(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b). Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that 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 Commitments, any Loans, any Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(i) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 9.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(f) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its respective promissory note to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section 9.04 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.

95

(e) (i) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment or participation in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment, or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender and (y) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment or participation in violation of this clause (e)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (e) shall apply.

(ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Commitment or (B) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders or Issuing Banks by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders, Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or the Issuing Banks or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks and (B) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders or Issuing Banks that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter.

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on an Approved Electronic Platform or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.

96

SECTION 9.05. 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 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 Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or a Lender, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. 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 and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b)) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, and words of like import in this Agreement including any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Commitments have been terminated and the Loans then outstanding have been declared due and payable as a result thereof, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of their respective 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) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of

97

Section 2.20 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respect Affiliates under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender, such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.08 shall not apply to amounts held by the Borrower in trust for the benefit of others or in its capacity as a servicer in connection with a Securitization Transaction.

SECTION 9.09. 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 in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity).

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan (or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan), 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 Federal (to the extent permitted by law) or New York State court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c) Each of the parties 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 the first sentence of Section 9.09(b). 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 writing under Section 9.01, but not electronically.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). 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

98

INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.10.

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Lender or its respective Affiliates; provided, however, that with respect to disclosures pursuant to this clause (b) (other than with respect to any audit or examination conducted by any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority unless such audit or examination specifically targets the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, the Transactions or the Information) or the following clause (c) of this Section 9.12, unless prohibited by law or applicable court order, each disclosing Person shall promptly inform the Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof or other Person for disclosure of Information, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and if reasonably practicable, before disclosure of such Information, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12, to any credit insurance provider or service provider relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (f) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (g) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12 to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, or any sub-Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative transaction or other transaction under which payments are to be made relating to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, other than, in each case, to any Disqualified Institution, (h) on a confidential basis to, with the consent of the Borrower, (1) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided herein or (2) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of identification numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided herein, (i) with the consent of the Borrower, (j) to the extent such Information (1) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12 by the disclosing party or any of its directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, (2) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries (other than by any source known by such disclosing party to have an obligation of confidentiality with respect to the disclosed Information) or (3) to the extent pertaining to the existence and terms of this Agreement, market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the extent such information is customarily provided to such Persons in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the Commitments hereunder, (k) to the extent applicable and reasonably necessary or advisable, for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense in connection with any legal, judicial, administrative proceeding or other process or (l) to the extent that such information is independently developed by such Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender so long as not based on information obtained in a manner that would otherwise violate this Section 9.12.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.12 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.14. [Reserved].

SECTION 9.15. No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 9.15, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that nothing in this Agreement or any related documentation or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Lenders and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any related documentation are arm’s length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each of the Lenders is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person, (iii) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and any related documentation and (iv) the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.

SECTION 9.16. [Reserved].

SECTION 9.17. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-

100

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 an applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

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

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

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

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

SECTION 9.18. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that this Agreement provides support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for hedging agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that this Agreement and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

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

SECTION 9.19. Release of Guarantees. A Guarantor (other than the Borrower) shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Guarantee of such

101

Guarantor shall automatically be terminated, in each case, upon (i) the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Guarantor (other than a Material Indebtedness Guarantor) ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or required to be a Guarantor hereunder; provided that, if so required by Section 9.02, the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction, (ii) such Guarantor (other than a Material Indebtedness Guarantor) becoming an Excluded Subsidiary; provided that the Borrower has elected for such Excluded Subsidiary to be released from its Guarantee or (iii) in the case of a Material Indebtedness Guarantor, at such time as (A) the Borrower shall have terminated (or the aggregate principal amount of all of the Indebtedness that would give rise to the obligation under Section 6.10 shall have been reduced, collectively, to an aggregate principal amount equal to $500,000,000 or less) all guarantees of all Indebtedness of such Material Indebtedness Guarantor that gave rise to the obligation under Section 6.10, (B) no Guarantee by the Borrower of Indebtedness of such Person (in the aggregate) would independently require such Person to become a Material Indebtedness Guarantor pursuant to Section 6.10 and (C) the Borrower shall have furnished written notice to the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 9.02) to take any action requested by Borrower having the effect of releasing any guarantee obligations to the extent not prohibited by any Loan Document or consented to in accordance with Section 9.02. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Guarantor (other than a Material Indebtedness Guarantor) that is a guarantor with respect to any Specified Borrower Indebtedness shall not be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be terminated pursuant to any Loan Document, in each case, so long as it remains a guarantor of such Specified Borrower Indebtedness. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 9.19, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release so long as the Borrower or applicable Loan Party shall have provided the Administrative Agent such certifications or documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request in order to demonstrate compliance with this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any certificate delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.19 (or provided to it by the Borrower upon its reasonable request) without further inquiry and any such release, termination or discharge pursuant to this Section 9.19 shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.20. Interest Rate Limitation.

The failure of any Lender under the Facility to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender under the Facility of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Subject to Section 2.13 and Section 2.21, (i) each Borrowing shall be available in the Funding Office and consist entirely of ABR Loans or Term SOFR Loans. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such

37

Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) any such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender shall not be entitled to request compensation under Section 2.14 at the time such Loan is made.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Term SOFR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (and not less than $10,000,000). At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (and not less than $10,000,000); provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 10 Borrowings.

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

SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of the proposed ABR Borrowing and (b) in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Term SOFR Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b)) to the Administrative Agent in the Funding Office of a written Borrowing Request in the form of Exhibit E hereto (except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) signed by the Borrower. Each Borrowing Request shall be for a draw of Loans during the Availability Period and shall be subject to the limit of ten (10) draws set forth in Section 2.01. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing, which shall comply with Section 2.02(c) and shall not exceed the Commitments;

(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 SOFR Borrowing;

(iv) in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06.

If no election as to the Type of the requested Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term SOFR 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, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.05. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City or to such other account of the Borrower as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in each case designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available in Dollars on such date in accordance with Section 2.06(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount in Dollars. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing in Dollars available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Dollars with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower in Dollars to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and (y) the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request (or as otherwise determined pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.03), as applicable. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, as applicable, in each case as provided in this Section 2.07. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07, 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 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 facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b)) to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in the form of Exhibit F hereto (except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) signed by the Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

39

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Term SOFR 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 SOFR 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 in respect of a Loan, 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 SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then at the end of such Interest Period, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, such Borrowing shall be automatically continued for an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term SOFR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Term SOFR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date.

(b) . Upon each funding of Loans, the Commitment of each Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced on a Dollar-for-Dollar basis by an amount equal to the Loans so funded by such Lender.

(c) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments under the Facility; provided that each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000.

(d) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.08(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified

40

effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(e) The Commitments shall be subject to automatic and permanent reduction as set forth in Sections 2.10(c) and 2.10(d).

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, the then-unpaid aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding on the Maturity Date.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type and currency thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto (if applicable), (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.09(b) or (c) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) (each such promissory note, a “Note”). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.10(b).

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by electronic mail (or in any other manner provided for in Section 9.01(b))) of any prepayment hereunder and (i) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Term SOFR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing under the Facility, the

41

Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing under the Facility shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing, except as provided in Section 2.20. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

(c) On any date set forth in table below under the heading “Commitment Reduction Date” (each, a “Commitment Reduction Date”), if the aggregate amount of outstanding Commitments exceeds the amount set forth opposite such Commitment Reduction Date (each, a “Maximum Undrawn Commitment Amount”), then the outstanding Commitments shall automatically be reduced (on a pro rata basis among the Lenders in accordance with their respective outstanding Commitments) on such Commitment Reduction Date by an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the outstanding Commitments exceed the applicable Maximum Undrawn Commitment Amount.

Commitment Reduction Date Maximum Undrawn Commitment Amount

The date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Date $10,000,000,000

The date that is fifteen (15) months after the Effective Date $5,000,000,000

(d) The Commitments shall automatically be reduced (on the date the applicable net cash proceeds are received as described below), and the Loans shall be required to be prepaid within three (3) Business Days, in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s Restricted Subsidiaries or any Guarantor from the incurrence of Qualifying Debt (at any time or from time to time from and after the Effective Date) to the extent that the aggregate net cash proceeds received from all such incurrences of Qualifying Debt since the Effective Date (whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions) exceed $20,000,000,000 in the aggregate; provided that (i)(A) to the extent any portion of such net cash proceeds is received by a Foreign Subsidiary (or a Domestic Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary) and the repatriation of such portion to the Borrower is prohibited, restricted or materially delayed by applicable local law, rule or regulation (including financial assistance, corporate benefit, capital maintenance and similar restrictions and fiduciary and statutory duties of directors or officers of such Subsidiary), or the Borrower has determined in good faith that such repatriation would result in a material adverse tax cost or material adverse tax consequences to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any direct or indirect equity holder thereof (in each case, after taking into account any available foreign tax credits, deductions and payments or payable amounts under tax sharing arrangements not prohibited by this Agreement), such portion of the net cash proceeds that would otherwise be required to be applied to prepay Loans hereunder shall not be required to be applied to prepay Loans hereunder, but may be retained by the applicable Subsidiary and used for working capital and other purposes not prohibited by this Agreement, (B) the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or eliminate any such restriction, prohibition or delay or minimize any such material adverse tax cost or consequence (it being understood that, promptly upon the Borrower’s good faith determination that such restriction, prohibition, material delay or material adverse tax cost or consequence no longer exists, the Borrower shall cause such net cash proceeds to be repatriated, if such determination is made within twelve (12) months of the receipt of such net cash

42

proceeds), and to the extent any such affected proceeds are subsequently repatriated to the Borrower, an amount equal to such repatriated proceeds (net of any Taxes actually paid or reasonably estimated to be payable in connection therewith) shall be applied to prepay the Loans within five (5) Business Days after the date of such repatriation and (C) the non-application of any such amounts in accordance with the terms of this clause (i) shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) only such excess shall be required to be applied to reduce the Commitments and/or prepay outstanding Loans, (iii) any such excess shall be applied first to reduce the Commitments on a pro rata basis among the Lenders in accordance with their respective outstanding Commitments (without regard to the immediately preceding clause (i)) and second to prepay the outstanding Loans on a pro rata basis among the Lenders in accordance with their respective outstanding Loans (subject to the immediately preceding clause (i)) and (iv) the aggregate net cash proceeds from all incurrences of Qualifying Debt shall be calculated on a cumulative basis from and after the Effective Date.

SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay for the ratable account of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments a non-refundable ticking fee (the “Ticking Fee”), at a rate per annum (using for such purposes a 365/366-day year) determined in accordance with the Pricing Grid on the actual daily undrawn amount of the Commitments, which shall accrue from and including the Effective Date until the Commitment Termination Date, payable on each Quarterly Payment Date.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(c) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of the Ticking Fee, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.12. Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate, plus the Applicable Rate applicable to such Loans.

(b) The Loans comprising each Term SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at Term SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing, plus the Applicable Rate applicable to such Loans.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.0%, plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.12 or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.0%, plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be payable within two (2) Business Days after written demand by the Administrative Agent, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the Maturity Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Term SOFR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

43

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days, as the case may be), except that interest computed with respect to Term SOFR Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Term SOFR, as applicable, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13. Inability to Determine Rates. With respect to any Term SOFR Loan, subject to Section 2.21, if:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that if Term SOFR is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period; or

(b) with respect to any Term SOFR Loan or any request therefor or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof, the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that deposits in Dollars are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for Dollars, amount or Interest Period of such Term SOFR Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent; or

(c) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for such Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that if Term SOFR is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining, continuing or converting to such Loan during the applicable Interest Period and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent,

then, in each case, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each applicable Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make Term SOFR Loans and any right of the Borrower to continue any Loan as a Term SOFR Loan shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clauses (b) or (c), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for Term SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans and, failing that, in the case of any request for any affected Term SOFR Borrowing, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an ABR Borrowing or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans immediately. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.15.

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) If any Governmental Authority shall have in effect at any time during the term of this Agreement any reserve, liquid asset or similar requirement with respect to any category of deposits or liabilities customarily used to fund Term SOFR Loans, or by reference to which interest rates applicable to Term SOFR Loans are determined, and the result of such requirement shall be to increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining, continuing or converting to any Term SOFR Loans and such Lender shall have requested, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall specify the Statutory Reserve Percentage applicable to such Lender), compensation under this paragraph (a), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender (until the

44

earlier of the date such Lender shall advise the Borrower that such requirement is no longer in effect or the date such Lender shall withdraw such request) amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such additional costs of making or maintaining, continuing or converting to such Term SOFR Loans.

(b) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except to the extent covered by Section 2.14(a));

(ii) impose on any Lender, the London interbank market or any applicable market any other cost or expense condition affecting this Agreement, Term SOFR Loans made by such Lender; or

(iii) subject any Lender to any Tax (except for (1) Indemnified Taxes, (2) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (3) Other Connection Taxes imposed on net income, profits or revenue (including value-added or similar Taxes)) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining, continuing or converting to any Term SOFR Loan or maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or to increase the cost to such Lender, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(c) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(d) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 2.14(a), (b) or (c) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower in writing of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

45

SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Term SOFR 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 2.19 (except that a Defaulting Lender required to assign its Loans under Section 2.19(b) shall not be entitled to compensation under this Section 2.15 in connection with such assignment), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be an amount equal to the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at Term SOFR that would have been applicable to such Loan, 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 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, in the applicable currency of 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 ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Taxes

. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that, if any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to deduct or withhold Taxes, then (i) such Withholding Agent shall so deduct and withhold and shall pay the full amount of deducted or withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (ii) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including such deduction or withholding applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the Administrative Agent or each Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) The Borrower shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c) Without duplication of amounts payable under Sections 2.16(a) or (b), the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within (ten) 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16), and any 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. The Administrative Agent and

46

each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, which will entitle it to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, 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) attributable to such Lender and any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement 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 a Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of 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, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) The Administrative Agent, each Lender and all recipients of payments to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder that are entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding or backup withholding Tax with respect to any payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the Effective Date (or, as applicable, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement) and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or as otherwise prescribed by applicable law, such valid, properly completed and duly executed forms, certificates, and documentation (including, as applicable, the applicable U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY, or IRS Form W-9) prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of withholding. Any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to information reporting requirements. In addition, if a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable 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 complied with such Lender’s

47

obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each recipient of payment agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if the form is inaccurate because its payee status changes from beneficial owner to intermediary or vice versa), 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. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Lender, as applicable, shall reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in the Borrower’s challenging such Tax at the Borrower’s expense if requested by the Borrower (it being understood and agreed that none of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders shall have any obligation to contest, or any responsibility for contesting, any such Tax). If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender 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 (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.16 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.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations hereunder.

SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, in respect of payments of principal or interest relating to Borrowings, or in respect of any fees payable under this Agreement on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at the Funding Office, in respect of payments of principal or interest relating to Borrowings, or in respect of payments of any fees under this Agreement, or such other office as may be designated by the

48

Administrative Agent by written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it to each Lender according to its ratable share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payments (or otherwise distribute such payments 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 (unless, in the case of a payment of interest on a Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, such next succeeding Business Day would fall in the next calendar month, in which case such payment shall be due on the next preceding 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 Dollars.

(b) At any time that payments are not required to be applied in the manner required by Section 7.02, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender under the Facility receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender under the Facility, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders under the Facility to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of (a) the applicable Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time

49

in effect and (b) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.06(b) or 2.17(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections 2.06(b) and 2.17(d) until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.18. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or additional amount 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 Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. Each Lender will notify the Borrower promptly upon its determination that an event that is reasonably likely to result in the Borrower being required to pay any additional amount pursuant to Sections 2.14 or 2.16 has occurred, but failure of any Lender to provide such notice shall not affect such Lender’s rights or the Borrower’s obligations under such Sections 2.14 and 2.16.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting 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 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees (which may be one or more Lenders that have agreed to accept such assignment) that shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) other than in the case of a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to any Person that is not already a Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, 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) Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.19(b), in the event of illegality resulting solely from a Lender’s own gross negligence as a result of which such Lender is unable to maintain its Commitments or make any Loans required to be made by it pursuant to this Agreement (any such Lender, a “Non-Funding Lender”), then such Non-Funding Lender shall use reasonable best efforts to find a replacement bank, financial institution, trust, fund or other entity (“Replacement Lender”) to assume such Non-Funding Lender’s obligations hereunder. Upon finding such Replacement Lender, and upon notice to

50

the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Non-Funding Lender shall assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Replacement Lender, which shall assume such obligations.

SECTION 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender hereunder, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Defaulting Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) the Ticking Fee shall cease to accrue on the unused Commitments of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11;

(b) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded for purposes of any determination of whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that this clause (b) shall not apply in the case of any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each Lender affected thereby;

(c) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be applied in the following order of priority: (i) to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, (ii) [reserved], (iii) [reserved], (iv) to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, (v) if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement, (vi) to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lenders’ breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and any amounts remaining after application thereof by the Administrative Agent as specified in this paragraph (c) shall be distributed to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Article IV were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans have been funded pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(d) [reserved]:

(e) [reserved].

(f) the Borrower may, upon notice to a Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), terminate the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender

51

and in such event the provisions of Section 2.20(c) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) the Borrower may not terminate such Commitments if an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(g) In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then, with the consent of the Borrower, the Commitments and Loans of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent shall determine to be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.20 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.21. Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Benchmark Replacement.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.21(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii) No Swap Agreement shall constitute a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.21.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

52

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.21(d) and (y) the commencement 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 2.21, 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 2.21.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (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 not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (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 not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Term SOFR Borrowing or conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an ABR Borrowing or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans immediately. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.15. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark that is the subject of such Benchmark Unavailability Period or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.

SECTION 2.22. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”), (a) any obligation of such Lender, having delivered an Illegality Notice to the Borrower, to make Term SOFR Loans shall be

53

suspended, and any such Loan shall be made as an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars and (b) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the ABR without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, in each case until such affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from such affected Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the ABR without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”), on the Interest Payment Date therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.15.

Article III  

Representations and Warranties

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders as of the Effective Date and thereafter as of each date required by Section 4.02 that:

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or formation, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except, in each case, where the failure to be so qualified and/or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within each Loan Party’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other 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 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, and except where such failure to obtain or make such consent, approval, registration, filing or other action would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or any order of any Governmental Authority, except where such violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) will not violate the charter, by-laws or equivalent organizational documents of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary and (d) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, except where any such violations or defaults would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

54

SECTION 3.04. Financial Statements; Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Effect. (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Since December 31, 2025, there has been no event, development or circumstance that has had or would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.05. Litigation and Environmental Matters. As of the Effective Date, (a) other than the Disclosed Matters, there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.

(b) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability except, in each case, for the Disclosed Matters and with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.06. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except (a) in such instances where any alleged non-compliance is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b) where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.07. Investment Company Status. The Borrower is not an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SECTION 3.08. Taxes. Each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all material Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all material Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.09. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, individually or in the aggregate with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. If all of the Plans were terminated (disregarding any Plans with surpluses), the unfunded liabilities with respect

55

to all such Plans, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10. Disclosure. (a) As of the Effective Date, no written information furnished (other than projected financial information, estimates, forecasts, other forward-looking information or general economic or industry information) by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement when taken as a whole and together with the Borrower’s filings with the SEC, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein taken as a whole, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading (in each case, as modified or supplemented by other written information so furnished); provided that with respect to projected financial information, estimates, forecasts and other forward-looking information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time (it being understood that the actual results may differ significantly from the projected financial information, estimates, forecasts and other forward-looking information) and such differences may be material.

(b) As of the Effective Date, to the knowledge of the Borrower, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification provided on or prior to the Effective Date to any Lender in connection with this Agreement is true and correct in all respects.

SECTION 3.11. Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U.

SECTION 3.12. Use of Proceeds.

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent 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, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and

74

generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

SECTION 8.02. Administrative Agent’s Reliance; Limitation of Liability, Etc. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02 and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02, or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative 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. The Administrative 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.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective 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 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.

SECTION 8.03. Successor Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 8.03, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint from among the Lenders a successor reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (except that the Borrower’s consent shall not

75

be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). 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 gives notice of its resignation (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (except that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (e) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.04. Acknowledgements of Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative 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.

SECTION 8.05. Certain ERISA Matters. Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding paragraph is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding paragraph, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that none of the Administrative Agent, or any Lead Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any documents related hereto or thereto).

SECTION 8.06. No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, and each Lead Arranger hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

SECTION 8.07. Erroneous Payments.

77

(a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient, and each of their respective successors and assigns, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 8.07 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns) agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

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

(ii) such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.07(b).

78

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.07(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 8.07(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under the immediately preceding clause (a).

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Subject to Section 9.04 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment

79

Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(f) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this Section 8.07 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for) or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent.

(g) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(h) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.07 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of

81

any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders (it being understood that amendments or waivers of conditions precedent, representations, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Lender) or by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect, mistake or inconsistency so long as the Lenders shall have received at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within ten (10) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that any amendment, modification or waiver to Section 2.12(c) shall not be subject to this clause (ii)), (iii) postpone the final maturity date of any Loan, or postpone the scheduled date of payment of any principal, interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (iv) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02 or the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Applicable Percentage” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change the last sentence of Section 2.08(c) or change Section 2.17 or Section 7.02 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby among Lenders, without the written consent of each such Lender adversely affected thereby, (vi) release all or substantially all of the (a) Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee Agreement or (b) value of the Guarantees in respect of the Obligations, in each case, other than in connection with a transaction or series of transactions not prohibited by this Agreement without the written consent of all Lenders, (vii) [reserved] or (viii) consent to the release, assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement other than in connection with a transaction or series of transactions not prohibited by this Agreement without the written consent of all Lenders; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in sub-clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso of this paragraph (b) and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be directly affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay, and without duplication, (i) except as otherwise agreed, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Documentation Agents, limited, in the case of legal fees, to the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple material jurisdictions)) for

82

the Administrative Agent, but excluding Taxes, which are covered by Section 2.16, in connection with the administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby shall be consummated), (ii) [reserved] and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents and the Lenders (limited, in the case of legal fees, to the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements and other charges of one counsel for all such Persons taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for all such Persons taken as a whole in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple material jurisdictions) and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest between such Person where the Persons affected by such conflict inform the Borrower of such conflict, one additional counsel and one additional local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction to each group of affected Persons similarly situated taken as a whole), but excluding Taxes which are covered by Section 2.16, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent 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, to the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements and other charges of one counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple material jurisdictions) and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest between Indemnitees where the Indemnitees affected by such conflict inform the Borrower of such conflict, one additional counsel and one additional local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction to each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated taken as a whole), but excluding Taxes, which are covered by Section 2.16, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of 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 Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or 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 in any way to 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 regardless of whether such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any other party; 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 non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or material breach by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties of such Person’s obligations under this Agreement, or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties and that no Lender shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising out of a dispute between such Lender and its assignees or Participants or solely between Lenders (other than disputes resulting from an act or material omission by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in violation of this Agreement).

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under Sections 9.03(a) or (b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the

83

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 in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law (i) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) and (ii) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing in this clause (d)(ii) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party as set forth in clause (a) above.

(e) All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable not later than thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, except where the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith in appropriate proceedings by the Borrower.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04, (iii) no assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates, or any person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (iii) and (iv) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in Section 9.04(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

(A) the Borrower; provided that (i) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01, any other assignee and (ii) where the consent of the Borrower is required, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment to which it has not objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice thereof; and

84

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default specified in clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, which fees shall not be payable by the Borrower, except in connection with the replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.19; and

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

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(iv), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be subject to its obligations under Section 9.12 for a period of one year following the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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 Section 9.04(c).

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and

85

a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 9.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (b).

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than (x) a natural person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person, (y) the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or (z) any Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution or any of their respective Affiliates) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 9.04(c)(ii), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.16(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b). Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that 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 Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury

86

Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(i) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 9.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(f) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its respective promissory note to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) (i) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment or participation in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment, or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender and (y) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment or participation in violation of this clause (e)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (e) shall apply.

(ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Commitment or (B) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and

87

obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter.

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on an Approved Electronic Platform or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.

SECTION 9.05. 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 Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or a Lender, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. 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 and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be

88

binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b)) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, and words of like import in this Agreement including any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Commitments have been terminated and the Loans then outstanding have been declared due and payable as a result thereof, each Lender and each of its 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) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.20 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or its Affiliates may have. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the rights of each Lender and each of its Affiliates under this Section 9.08 shall not apply to amounts held by the Borrower in trust for the benefit of others or in its capacity as a servicer in connection with a Securitization Transaction.

SECTION 9.09. 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 in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity).

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan (or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan), 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 Federal (to the extent permitted by law) or New York State court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to enforce a judgment against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

89

(c) Each of the parties 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 the first sentence of Section 9.09(b). 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 writing under Section 9.01, but not electronically. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). 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 9.10.

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Administrative Agent, Lender or its respective Affiliates; provided, however, that with respect to disclosures pursuant to this clause (b) (other than with respect to any audit or examination conducted by any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority unless such audit or examination specifically targets the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, the Transactions or the Information) or the following clause (c) of this Section 9.12, unless prohibited by law or applicable court order, each disclosing Person shall promptly inform the Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof or other Person for disclosure of Information, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and if reasonably practicable, before disclosure of such Information, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12, to any credit insurance provider or service provider relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (f) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (g) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12 to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or

90

Participant in, or any sub-Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative transaction or other transaction under which payments are to be made relating to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, other than, in each case, to any Disqualified Institution, (h) on a confidential basis to, with the consent of the Borrower, (1) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided herein or (2) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of identification numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided herein, (i) with the consent of the Borrower, (j) to the extent such Information (1) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12 by the disclosing party or any of its directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, (2) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries (other than by any source known by such disclosing party to have an obligation of confidentiality with respect to the disclosed Information) or (3) to the extent pertaining to the existence and terms of this Agreement, market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the extent such information is customarily provided to such Persons in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the Commitments hereunder, (k) to the extent applicable and reasonably necessary or advisable, for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense in connection with any legal, judicial, administrative proceeding or other process or (l) to the extent that such information is independently developed by such Administrative Agent or Lender so long as not based on information obtained in a manner that would otherwise violate this Section 9.12. For the purposes of this Section 9.12, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.12 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Documentation Agents and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that (i) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof, as the case may be, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with such compliance procedures and applicable law, including U.S. federal and state securities laws and (iv) it will exercise the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 9.12 shall prohibit any individual from communicating or disclosing information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules or regulations to a governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority without any notification to any person.

SECTION 9.13. USA PATRIOT Act; Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

SECTION 9.14. [Reserved].

SECTION 9.15. No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 9.15, the “Lenders”), may have economic

91

interests that conflict with those of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that nothing in this Agreement or any related documentation or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Lenders and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any related documentation are arm’s length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each of the Lenders is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person, (iii) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and any related documentation and (iv) the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading 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 9.16. [Reserved].

SECTION 9.17. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions, Etc.. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document 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 an applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

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

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

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

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

SECTION 9.18. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that this Agreement provides support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for hedging agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit

92

Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that this Agreement and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

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

SECTION 9.19. Release of Guarantees. A Guarantor (other than the Borrower) shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall automatically be terminated, in each case, upon (i) the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Guarantor (other than a Material Indebtedness Guarantor) ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or required to be a Guarantor hereunder; provided that, if so required by Section 9.02, the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction, (ii) such Guarantor (other than a Material Indebtedness Guarantor) becoming an Excluded Subsidiary; provided that the Borrower has elected for such Excluded Subsidiary to be released from its Guarantee or (iii) in the case of a Material Indebtedness Guarantor, at such time as (A) the Borrower shall have terminated (or the aggregate principal amount of all of the Indebtedness that would give rise to the obligation under Section 6.10 shall have been reduced, collectively, to an aggregate principal amount equal to $500,000,000 or less) all guarantees of all Indebtedness of such Material Indebtedness Guarantor that gave rise to the obligation under Section 6.10, (B) no Guarantee by the Borrower of Indebtedness of such Person (in the aggregate) would independently require such Person to become a Material Indebtedness Guarantor pursuant to Section 6.10 and (C) the Borrower shall have furnished written notice to the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 9.02) to take any action requested by Borrower having the effect of releasing any guarantee obligations to the extent not prohibited by any Loan Document or consented to in accordance with Section 9.02. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Guarantor (other than a Material Indebtedness Guarantor) that is a guarantor with respect to any Specified Borrower Indebtedness shall not be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be terminated pursuant to any Loan Document, in each case, so long as it remains a guarantor of such Specified Borrower Indebtedness. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 9.19, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release so long as the Borrower or applicable Loan

93

Party shall have provided the Administrative Agent such certifications or documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request in order to demonstrate compliance with this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any certificate delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.19 (or provided to it by the Borrower upon its reasonable request) without further inquiry and any such release, termination or discharge pursuant to this Section 9.19 shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.20. 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 9.20 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 or payable in respect of such Loan or other Obligation exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate.
