Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 24, 2017, Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (the “Partnership”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Revolver Credit Agreement”) with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch as administrative agent and the other lenders party thereto (the “Revolver Lenders”). The Revolver Credit Agreement has a scheduled maturity date of March 24, 2022 and includes an option for the Partnership to extend the term, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.

As previously reported by Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”), ETP, the general partner of ETP (“ETP GP”), Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (“SXL”), Sunoco Partners LLC (“SXL GP”), and, solely for purposes of certain provisions therein, the Partnership have entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 20, 2016 (as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 16, 2016 and as further amended or otherwise modified from time to time, “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) SXL GP will be merged with and into ETP GP (the “GP Merger”), with ETP GP surviving the GP Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ETE, and (ii) SXL Merger Sub LP will be merged with and into ETP (the “MLP Merger” and, together with the GP Merger, the “SXL Transaction”), with ETP surviving the MLP Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of SXL. For more information on the SXL Transaction, please read ETP’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 21, 2016 and ETP’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 21, 2016.

Pursuant to the Revolver Credit Agreement, the Revolver Lenders have committed to provide advances up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000,000 at any one time outstanding, and the Partnership has the option to request increases in the aggregate commitments by up to $500,000,000 in additional commitments. For any such increase, the Partnership may ask one or more Revolver Lenders to increase their existing commitments and/or invite additional eligible lenders to become Revolver Lenders under the Revolver Credit Agreement. As part of the aggregate commitments under the facility, the Revolver Credit Agreement provides for letters of credit to be issued at the request of the Partnership in an aggregate amount not to exceed a $150,000,000 sublimit.

Under the Revolver Credit Agreement, the obligations of the Partnership are secured by a lien on substantially all of the Partnership’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ tangible and intangible assets including (i) approximately 18.4 million common units representing limited partner interests in ETP and approximately 81.0 million Class H units of ETP owned by the Partnership; and (ii) the Partnership’s 100% equity interest in Energy Transfer Partners, L.L.C. and Energy Transfer Partners GP, L.P., through which the Partnership indirectly holds all of the outstanding general partnership interests and IDRs in, immediately prior to the consummation of the MLP Merger, ETP and, immediately after the consummation of the MLP Merger, SXL. The Revolver Credit Agreement initially will not be guaranteed by any of the Partnership’s subsidiaries.

Interest accrues on advances at a LIBOR rate or a base rate, based on the election of the Partnership for each interest period, plus an applicable margin. The issuing fees for letters of credit are also based on an applicable margin. The applicable margin used in connection with interest rates and fees is based on the then applicable leverage ratio of the Partnership. The applicable margin for LIBOR rate loans and letter of credit fees ranges from 1.75% to 2.50% and the applicable margin for base rate loans ranges from 0.75% to 1.50%. The Partnership will also pay a commitment fee based on the Partnership’s leverage ratio on the actual daily unused amount of the aggregate commitments. The Partnership borrowed approximately $869,220,000 at the closing of the Revolver Credit Agreement. Proceeds of the borrowings under the Revolver Credit Agreement were used to refinance amounts outstanding under the Partnership’s Credit Agreement, dated as of December 2, 2013 among the Partnership, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent (the “Existing Revolver Credit Agreement”) and may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other lawful partnership purposes (including restricted payments and payment of the purchase price and related expenses of permitted acquisitions).

The Revolver Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, including a change of control event of default and limitations on incurrence of liens, new lines of business, mergers, transactions with affiliates and restrictive agreements. The Revolver Credit Agreement also includes covenants limiting, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, the ratio of the Consolidated Funded Debt (as defined in the Revolver Credit Agreement) of the Partnership to the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Revolver Credit Agreement) of the Partnership, measured for the preceding twelve months, to not more than 6.00 to 1.00. This requirement is subject to a provision for increases to 7.00 to 1.00 in connection with certain future acquisitions. In addition, the Revolver Credit Agreement includes a covenant requiring, as of the last day of each quarter, the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA of the Partnership to consolidated interest expense of the Partnership, measured for the preceding twelve months, to be not less than 1.50 to 1.00. During the continuance of an event of default, the Revolver Lenders may take a number of actions, including declaring the entire amount then outstanding under the Revolver Credit Agreement due and payable.

The foregoing description of the Revolver Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Revolver Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 24, 2017, and in connection with entry into the Revolver Credit Agreement, the Partnership terminated the Existing Revolver Credit Agreement.

Each telephonic request shall be deemed a representation, warranty, acknowledgment and agreement by the Borrower as to the matters which are required to be set out in such written confirmation. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Upon receipt of the Loan Notice requesting Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of the terms thereof. In the case of Loans, if all conditions precedent to such new Loans set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial credit extension, Section 4.01) have been met, each Lender will by 1:00 p.m. New York time on the date requested promptly remit to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office the amount of such Lender’s Loan in immediately available funds, and upon receipt of such funds, unless to its actual knowledge any conditions precedent to the Loans have been neither met nor waived as provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall promptly make such Loans available to the Borrower.

If (due to the existence of an Event of Default or for any other reason) the Borrower fails to timely and properly give any Loan Notice with respect to a Borrowing of existing Eurodollar Loans at least three Business Days prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable

thereto, such Eurodollar Loans, to the extent not prepaid at the end of such Interest Period, shall automatically be Converted into ABR Loans at the end of such Interest Period. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. No new funds shall be repaid by the Borrower or advanced by any Lender in connection with any Continuation or Conversion of existing Loans pursuant to this Section, and no such Continuation or Conversion shall be deemed to be a new advance of funds for any purpose; such Continuations and Conversions merely constitute a change in the interest rate, Interest Period or Type applicable to already outstanding Loans.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. Any prepayment of a Loan must be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon. No Lender may reject any voluntary prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.06.

(b)Mandatory Prepayment upon Facility Usage Exceeding Aggregate Commitments. If the sum of the Facility Usage exceeds the Aggregate Commitments, the Borrower shall, within one Business Day after the occurrence of that event, first, repay or prepay the Loans, and second, replace or Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.11, in an amount sufficient to eliminate the excess.

If the LC Conditions are met on any Business Day on or after 11:00 a.m., LC Issuer will issue such Letter of Credit on the next succeeding Business Day at LC Issuer’s Lending Office. If any provisions of any Letter of Credit Request conflict with any provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control. Unless otherwise directed by the LC Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the LC Issuer for any extension of an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the LC Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than five Business Days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date; provided, however, that the LC Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (a) the LC Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof, or (b) it has received notice from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the last day in which notice of non-extension for such Letter of Credit may be given that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and directing the LC Issuer not to permit such extension.

2.09 Reimbursement and Participations.

(a)Reimbursement. Each Matured LC Obligation shall constitute a loan by the LC Issuer to the Borrower. The Borrower promises to pay to the LC Issuer, or to the LC Issuer’s order, on demand, the full amount of each Matured LC Obligation together with interest thereon (i) at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for ABR Loans to and including the second Business Day after the Matured LC Obligation is incurred, subject to Section 2.09(b), and (ii) at the Default Rate applicable to ABR Loans on each day thereafter.

(b)Letter of Credit Advances. If the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit makes a draft or other demand for payment thereunder, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested the Lenders to make Loans to the Borrower in the amount of such draft or demand, which Loans shall be made concurrently with the LC Issuer’s payment of such draft or demand and shall be immediately used by the LC Issuer to repay the amount of the resulting Matured LC Obligation. Such deemed request by the Borrower shall be made in compliance with all of the provisions hereof, provided that for the purposes of the first sentence of Section 2.01, the amount of such Loans shall be considered, but the amount of the Matured LC Obligation to be concurrently paid by such Loans shall not be considered.

(c)Participation by Lenders. The LC Issuer irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Lender, and, to induce the LC Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the LC Issuer, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated and for such Lender’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the LC Issuer’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each Matured LC Obligation paid by the LC Issuer thereunder. Each Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the LC Issuer that, if a Matured LC Obligation is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the LC Issuer is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including any reimbursement by means of concurrent Loans or by the application of LC Collateral), such Lender shall (in all circumstances and without set-off or counterclaim) pay to the LC Issuer on demand, in immediately available funds at the LC Issuer’s Lending Office, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Matured LC Obligation (or any portion thereof that has not been reimbursed by the Borrower). Each Lender’s obligation to pay the LC Issuer pursuant to the terms of this subsection is irrevocable and unconditional. If any amount required to be paid by any Lender to the LC Issuer pursuant to this subsection is paid by such Lender to the LC Issuer within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the LC Issuer shall, in addition to such paid amount, be entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Federal Funds Rate. If any amount required to be paid by any Lender to the LC Issuer pursuant to this subsection is not paid by such Lender to the LC Issuer within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the LC Issuer shall, in addition to such amount to be paid, be entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for ABR Loans.

(d)Distributions to Participants. Whenever the LC Issuer has in accordance with this Section received from any Lender payment of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Matured LC Obligation, if the LC Issuer thereafter receives any payment of such Matured LC Obligation or any payment of interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or by application of LC Collateral or otherwise, and excluding only interest for any period prior to the LC Issuer’s demand that such Lender make such payment of its Applicable Percentage), the LC Issuer will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage of the amounts so received by the LC Issuer; provided, however, that if any such payment received by the LC Issuer must thereafter be returned by the LC Issuer, such Lender shall return to the LC Issuer the portion thereof that the LC Issuer has previously distributed to it.

(e)Calculations. A written advice setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts owing under this Section, submitted by the LC Issuer to the Borrower or any Lender from time to time, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amounts thereof.

(f)Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse Matured LC Obligations 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 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 the LC Issuer 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, 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 LC Issuer, 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 LC Issuer; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the LC Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the LC Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the LC Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the LC Issuer 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 that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the LC Issuer 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.

2.10 No Duty to Inquire.

(a)Drafts and Demands. The LC Issuer is authorized and instructed to accept and pay drafts and demands for payment under any Letter of Credit without requiring, and without responsibility for, any determination as to the existence of any event giving rise to said draft, either at the time of acceptance or payment or thereafter. The LC Issuer is under no duty to determine the proper identity of anyone presenting such a draft or making such a demand (whether by tested telex or otherwise) as the officer, representative or agent of any beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, and payment by the LC Issuer to any such beneficiary when requested by any such purported officer, representative or agent is hereby authorized and approved. The Borrower releases the LC Issuer and each Lender from, and agrees to hold the LC Issuer and each Lender harmless and indemnified against, any liability or claim in connection with or arising out of the subject matter of this Section, which indemnity shall apply whether or not any such liability or claim is in any way or to any extent caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent act or omission of any kind by the LC Issuer or any Lender, provided only that neither the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall be entitled to indemnification for that portion, if any, of any liability or claim that is proximately caused by its own individual gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final judgment.

(b)Extension of Maturity. If the maturity of any Letter of Credit is extended by its terms or by Law or governmental action, if any extension of the maturity or time for presentation of drafts or any other modification of the terms of any Letter of Credit is made at the request of the Borrower, or if the amount of any Letter of Credit is increased or decreased at the request of the Borrower, this Agreement shall be binding upon all Restricted Persons with respect to such Letter of Credit as so extended, increased, decreased or otherwise modified, with respect to drafts and property covered thereby, and with respect to any action taken by the LC Issuer, the LC Issuer’s correspondents, or any Lender in accordance with such extension, increase, decrease or other modification.

(c)Transferees of Letters of Credit. If any Letter of Credit provides that it is transferable, the LC Issuer shall have no duty to determine the proper identity of anyone appearing as transferee of such Letter of Credit, nor shall the LC Issuer be charged with responsibility of any nature or character for the validity or correctness of any transfer or successive transfers, and payment by the LC Issuer to any purported transferee or transferees as determined by the LC Issuer is hereby authorized and approved, and the Borrower releases the LC Issuer and each Lender from, and agrees to hold the LC Issuer and each Lender harmless and indemnified against, any liability or claim in connection with or arising out of the foregoing, which indemnity shall apply whether or not any such liability or claim is in any way or to any extent caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent act or omission of any kind by the LC Issuer or any Lender, provided only that neither the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall be entitled to indemnification for that portion, if any, of any liability or claim which is proximately caused by its own individual gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

2.11. LC Collateral.

(a)Acceleration of LC Obligations. If the Obligations or any part thereof become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 8.02, then, unless the Administrative Agent, acting on the instruction of Majority Lenders, shall otherwise specifically elect to the contrary (which election may thereafter be retracted by the Administrative Agent, acting on the instruction of Majority Lenders, at any time), the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the LC Issuer immediately an amount equal to the aggregate LC Obligations that are then outstanding to be held as LC Collateral. Nothing in this subsection shall, however, limit or impair any rights that the LC Issuer may have under any other document or agreement relating to any Letter of Credit, LC Collateral or LC Obligation, including any Letter of Credit Request, or any rights which the LC Issuer or any Lender may have to otherwise apply any payments by the Borrower and any LC Collateral under Section 2.14.

(b)Investment of LC Collateral. Pending application thereof, all LC Collateral shall be invested by the LC Issuer in such Cash Equivalents as the LC Issuer may choose in its sole discretion. All interest on (and other proceeds of) such Investments shall be reinvested or applied to Matured LC Obligations or other Obligations that are due and payable. When all Obligations have been satisfied in full, including all LC Obligations, all Letters of Credit have expired or been terminated, and all of the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in connection therewith have been satisfied in full, the LC Issuer shall release to the Borrower any remaining LC Collateral. The Borrower hereby assigns and grants to the LC Issuer for the benefit of the Lenders a continuing security interest in all LC Collateral paid by it to the LC Issuer, all Investments purchased with such LC Collateral, and all proceeds thereof to secure its Matured LC Obligations and its Obligations under this Agreement, each Note, and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower further agrees that the LC Issuer shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect to such security interest and that an Event of Default under this Agreement shall constitute a default for purposes of such security interest.

(c)Payment of LC Collateral. If the Borrower is required to provide LC Collateral for any reason but fails to do so as required, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent may, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Restricted Person, provide such LC Collateral (whether by transfers from other accounts maintained with the LC Issuer, or otherwise) using any available funds of the Borrower or any other Person also liable to make such payments, and the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to the Borrower promptly after such application or transfer. Any such amounts that are required to be provided as LC Collateral and that are not provided on the date required shall be considered past due Obligations owing hereunder.

2.12 Interest Rates and Fees.

(a)Interest Rates. Unless the Default Rate shall apply, (i) each ABR Loan shall bear interest on each day outstanding at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for ABR Loans in effect on such day, and (ii) each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on each day during the related Interest Period at the related Adjusted LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Loans in effect on such day, with accrued unpaid interest being due and payable on each Interest Payment Date, upon prepayment or repayment on the principal amount so prepaid or repaid, and, on past due amounts, on demand. The interest rate shall change whenever the applicable Alternate Base Rate, the Applicable Rate for ABR Loans, the Adjusted LIBO Rate, or the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Loans changes. In no event shall the interest rate on any Loan exceed the Maximum Rate.

(b)Commitment Fees. In consideration of each Lender’s commitment to make Loans, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee determined on a daily basis equal to the Applicable Rate for commitment fees in effect on such day times such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the unused portion of the Aggregate Commitments on each day during the Commitment Period, determined for each such day by deducting from the amount of the Aggregate Commitments at the end of such day the Facility Usage. This commitment fee shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter and at the end of the Commitment Period.

(c)Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of all Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, a letter of credit fee at an annual rate equal to the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Loans in effect each day times the face amount of such Letter of Credit (“LC Participation Fee”). The LC Participation Fee will be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter. In addition, the Borrower will pay to the LC Issuer an administrative issuance fee equal to 0.125% per annum of the face amount of each Letter of Credit and such other fees and charges customarily charged by the LC Issuer in respect of any issuance, amendment or negotiation of any Letter of Credit in accordance with the LC Issuer’s published schedule of such charges effective as of the date of such amendment or negotiation; such fees will be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter.

(d)Administrative Agent’s Fees. In addition to all other amounts due to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall pay fees to the Administrative Agent as agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

(e)Calculations and Determinations. All calculations of interest chargeable with respect to Eurodollar Loans and of fees shall be made on the basis of actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) and a year of 360 days. All calculations under the Loan Documents of interest chargeable with respect to ABR Loans shall be made on the basis of actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) and a year of 365 or 366 days, as appropriate.

(f)Past Due Obligations. The Borrower hereby promises to pay to each Lender interest at the Default Rate on all Obligations (including Obligations to pay fees or to reimburse or indemnify any Lender) that the Borrower has in this Agreement promised to pay to such Lender and that are not paid when due. Such interest shall accrue from the date such Obligations become due until they are paid.

2.13 Evidence of Debt.

(a)Credit Extensions. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. Subject to Section 10.06(c), the accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any

error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note (in the form of Exhibit G), which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b)Letters of Credit. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.13(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its usual practice, accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.14 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a)General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made with respect to Loans, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed. Each such payment shall be made at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Subject to Section 2.17, the Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of each such payment with respect to Loans in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 p.m. may, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as applicable.

(b)Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.01 and Section 2.03 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid

shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(c)Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. 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 LC Issuer 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 LC Issuer, 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 LC Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the LC Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d)Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in ARTICLE IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(e)Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

(f)Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.15 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. Except in connection with differing payments made to Non-Extending Lenders and those Lenders that have agreed to an Extended Maturity Date, 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 the Loans made by it, or the participations in LC Obligations held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (A) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in LC Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, 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 other amounts owing them, provided that:

(a)if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(b)the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in LC Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Restricted Person 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 such Restricted Person rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Restricted Person in the amount of such participation.

2.16 Reductions in Commitment. The Borrower shall have the right from time to time to permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments, without penalty, provided that (a) notice to the Administrative Agent of such reduction is given not less than two Business Days prior to such reduction, (b) the resulting Aggregate Commitments are not less than the Facility Usage, and (c) each partial reduction shall be in an amount at least equal to $3,000,000 and in multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

2.17 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(a)the Commitment Fee shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Lender so long as it is a Defaulting Lender (except to the extent it is payable to the LC Issuer pursuant to clause (b)(v) below);

(b)if LC Obligations are outstanding at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)if no Default has occurred and is continuing, all or any part of such outstanding LC Obligations shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the Facility Usage (excluding the Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Facility Usage) plus such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such outstanding LC Obligations does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments;

(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected (whether by reason of the occurrence and continuance of a Default or the non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments being exceeded by such reallocation), Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent Cash Collateralize the Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the LC Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.11 for so long as such LC Obligations are outstanding;

(iii)if any portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the LC Obligations is Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above, Borrower shall not be required to pay any LC Participation Fee with respect to the Applicable Percentage of the Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations so long as it is Cash Collateralized;

(iv)if any portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding LC Obligations is reallocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above, then the

LC Participation Fee with respect to such portion shall be allocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages; or

(v)if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding LC Obligations is neither Cash Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.17(b), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the LC Issuer or any Lender hereunder, the LC Participation Fee payable with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding LC Obligations shall be payable to the LC Issuer until such portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding LC Obligations is Cash Collateralized and/or reallocated;

(c)so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the LC Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.17(b), and participations in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(d)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 pursuant to Section 2.15 but excluding Section 10.13(b)) shall, subject to any applicable requirements of Law, be applied (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the LC Issuer hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Loan or the funding or Cash Collateralization of any participation in any Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the LC Issuer or the other Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower or any such Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (v) fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations under Section 2.09(a) in respect of an LC Credit Extension which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations under Section 2.09(a) owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations under Section 2.09(a) owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, Borrower, the LC Issuer, as the case may be, each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Applicable Percentages of the outstanding LC Obligations 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 as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.17 are in addition to other rights and remedies that Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the non-Defaulting Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender. The arrangements permitted or required by this Section 2.17 shall be permitted under this Agreement, notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or the pro rata sharing provisions or otherwise.

2.18 Increase of Commitments.

(a)The Borrower shall have the option, without the consent of the Lenders, from time to time to cause one or more increases in the Aggregate Commitments by adding, subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each LC Issuer (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to this Agreement one or more financial institutions as Lenders (collectively, the “New Lenders”) or by allowing one or more Lenders to increase their respective Commitments, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i)prior to and after giving effect to the increase, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing;

(ii)no such increase shall cause the aggregate increases in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.18 to exceed $500,000,000;

(iii)no Lender’s Commitment shall be increased without such Lender’s consent;

(iv)no more than three requests may be made for increases in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.18; and

(v)such increase shall be evidenced by an Incremental Commitment Agreement and executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, New Lenders, if any, and Lenders increasing their Commitments, if any, and which shall indicate the amount and allocation of such increase in the Aggregate Commitments and the effective date of such increase (the “Increase Effective Date”).

Each financial institution that becomes a New Lender pursuant to this Section by the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of the applicable Incremental Commitment Agreement shall be a “Lender” for all purposes under this Agreement on the applicable Increase Effective Date. The Borrower shall borrow and prepay Loans on each Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans of each Lender ratable with such Lender’s revised Applicable Percentage after giving effect to any nonratable increase in the Aggregate Commitments under this Section.

(b)As a condition precedent to each increase pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, the following in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

(i)a certificate dated as of the Increase Effective Date, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that each of the conditions to such increase set forth in this Section shall have occurred and been complied with and that, before and after giving effect to such increase, no Default or Event of Default exists;

(ii)such certificates of resolutions or other action, incumbency certificates and/or other certificates of Responsible Officers of the Borrower and each Guarantor as the Administrative Agent may require evidencing the identity, authority and capacity of each Responsible Officer thereof authorized to act as a Responsible Officer in connection with such increase agreement and any Guarantors’ Consent to such increase agreement, and such documents and certifications as the Administrative Agent may require to evidence that the Borrower and each Guarantor is validly existing and in good standing in its jurisdiction of organization; and

(iii)a favorable opinion of independent legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,

relating to such increase agreement and any Guarantors’ Consent to such increase agreement, addressed to the Administrative Agent and each Lender.

2.19 Extension of Maturity Date.

(a)The Borrower may from time to time (but no more than twice over the life of this Agreement), pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.19, with the approval of the Majority Lenders, extend the Scheduled Maturity Date applicable to the Commitments of consenting Lenders and LC Commitments of consenting LC Issuers for up to two (2) years in the aggregate for all such extensions (each such extension, an “Extension”) pursuant to an Extension Notice. In connection with each Extension, the Borrower will provide written notification (each an “Extension Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders and LC Issuers), no later than 30 days (or such shorter period as Administrative Agent may agree) prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, of the requested new maturity date for the Commitments and LC Commitments (each an “Extended Maturity Date”) and the due date for Lender and LC Issuer responses. The Commitment of any Lender or LC Issuer shall not be extended without the consent of such Lender or LC Issuer.

(b)Each Extension shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.

(c)In the event an Extension Notice is given to the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.19(a) and the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or an LC Issuer of the contents thereof, such Lender or LC Issuer shall, on or before the day that is 10 days following the date of Administrative Agent’s receipt of said Extension Notice, advise the Administrative Agent in writing whether or not such Lender or LC Issuer consents to the Extension requested thereby. Any Lender or LC Issuer that does not respond to an Extension Notice (referred to herein, collectively, with a Non-Consenting Lender or LC Issuer, as a “Non-Extending Lender”) by the applicable due date shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension. If the Majority Lenders so consent (the “Extending Lenders”) to such Extension, which consent may be withheld in their sole and absolute discretion, and any and all Non-Extending Lenders are replaced pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section 2.19 or repaid pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section 2.19, then the Scheduled Maturity Date, and the Commitments and LC Commitments of the Extending Lenders and the Nominees (as defined below) shall be automatically extended for up to two (2) years from the then effective Scheduled Maturity Date (such then effective Scheduled Maturity Date being the “Existing Maturity Date”); provided that, to the extent the aggregate amount of the LC Commitments extended pursuant to this Section 2.19 would exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments extended pursuant to this Section 2.19 then the aggregate LC Commitments of all of the extending LC Issuers shall be automatically reduced (with respect to such extended periods) on a pro rata basis by an amount equal to such excess. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and all of the Lenders and LC Issuers of each written notice of consent given pursuant to this Section 2.19(c).

(d)In the event the Extending Lenders hold less than 100% of the sum of the aggregate Facility Usage and unused Commitments, the Extending Lenders, or any of them, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume all or any portion of the Non-Extending Lenders’ Commitments and/or LC Commitments by giving written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of their election to do so on or before the day that is 20 days following the date of Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Extension Notice, which notice shall be irrevocable and shall constitute an undertaking to (i) assume, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Existing Maturity Date, all or such portion of the Commitments or LC Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders, as the case may be, as may be specified in such written notice, and (ii) purchase (without recourse) from the Non-Extending Lenders, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Existing Maturity Date, the Facility Usage outstanding on the Existing Maturity Date that correspond to the portion of the Commitments and LC Commitments to be so purchased at a price equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Obligations payable by the Borrower to such Non-Extending Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Obligations and accrued but unpaid fees or other amounts owing

by the Borrower in respect of such Non-Extending Lender's Loans, Commitments and LC Commitments hereunder. Such Commitments, LC Commitments and Facility Usage, or portion thereof, to be assumed and purchased by Extending Lenders shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among those Extending Lenders who have so elected to assume the same, such allocation to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective Commitments and LC Commitments of such Consenting Lenders as of the Existing Maturity Date (provided, however, in no event shall a Extending Lender be required to assume and purchase an amount or portion of the Commitments or LC Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders in excess of the amount which such Extending Lender agreed to assume and purchase pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence) or on such other basis as such Extending Lender shall agree. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the other Extending Lenders in the event it receives any notice from a Extending Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19(d).

(e)In the event that the Extending Lenders shall not elect as provided in Section 2.19(d) to assume and purchase all of the Non-Extending Lenders’ Commitments, LC Commitments and Facility Usages, the Borrower may designate, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders given on or before the day that is 30 days following the date of Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Extension Notice, one or more assignees not party to this Agreement acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer (individually, a “Nominee” and collectively, the “Nominees”) to assume all or any portion of the Non-Extending Lenders’ Commitments and LC Commitments not to be assumed by the Extending Lenders and to purchase (without recourse) from the Non-Extending Lenders all Obligations and Lender Hedging Obligations outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Existing Maturity Date that corresponds to the portion of the Commitments and LC Commitments so to be assumed at the price specified in Section 2.19(d). Each assumption and purchase under this Section 2.19(e) shall be effective as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Existing Maturity Date when each of the following conditions has been satisfied in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

(i)each Nominee and the Non-Extending Lenders have executed an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Nominee shall (A) assume in writing its share of the obligations of the Non-Extending Lenders hereunder, including its share of the Commitments and LC Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders and (B) agree to be bound as a Lender by the terms of this Agreement;

(ii)each Nominee shall have completed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

(iii)such assignment and purchase shall otherwise comply with Section 10.06.

(f)If all of the Commitments and LC Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders are not replaced on or before the Existing Maturity Date applicable to such Non-Extending Lenders, then, at the Borrower’s option, either (i) all Commitments and LC Commitments shall terminate on the Existing Maturity Date and the Borrower shall fully repay on the Existing Maturity Date the Loans and LC Obligations (including, without limitation, all accrued and unpaid interest); or (ii) the Borrower shall give prompt notice of termination on the Existing Maturity Date applicable to such Non-Extending Lenders of the Commitments and LC Commitments of each Non-Extending Lender not so replaced to the Administrative Agent, and shall fully repay on the Existing Maturity Date applicable to such Non-Extending Lenders the outstanding principal amount of all Loans and other Obligations (including, without limitation, all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts), if any, of such Non-Extending Lenders, which shall reduce the aggregate Commitments and LC Commitments accordingly (to the extent not assumed), and the Existing Maturity Date shall be extended in accordance with this Section 2.19 for the remaining Commitments and LC Commitments of the Extending Lenders; provided, however, that the Majority Lenders have consented to such extension pursuant to Section 2.19(c). Following the Existing Maturity Date applicable to such Non-Extending Lenders,

the Non-Extending Lenders shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, that such Non-Extending Lenders shall have no obligation to purchase participations in Letters of Credit.

ARTICLE III.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction or withholding for, any Taxes, provided that if any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes) from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower and each Guarantor shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the LC Issuer, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the LC Issuer, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of United States withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if 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 backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution, and

submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(e)(i), (ii) and (iv) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(i)any Lender that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to 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), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(ii)any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(B)duly completed executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI;

(C)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) duly completed executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E;

(D)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; or

(E)any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with

such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

(iii)the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date hereof (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower),

(A)with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account, an executed original of any form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction of United States federal withholding tax, duly complete, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(B)with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of others, an executed original of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY certifying in Part I that the Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch of a foreign bank and certifying in Part VI, Line 17(b), that the Administrative Agent agrees to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to any such payments made to it under any Loan Documents; and

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

Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01(e). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) expires or becomes obsolete in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so, or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any 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, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, 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, such Lender or the LC Issuer, 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, such Lender or the LC Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or

the LC Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(g)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrower or any Guarantor has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

3.02 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 Eurodollar Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate , or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to Convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, Convert all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans. Upon any such prepayment or Conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or Converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Loan or a Conversion to or Continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan, or (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, Conversion to or Continuation of Eurodollar Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Loans.

(a)Increased Costs Generally. 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 or participated in by, any Lender or the LC Issuer;

(ii)subject any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer to any Tax with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (c) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes); or

(iii)impose on any Lender or the LC Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or in the case of clause (ii), making any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the LC Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon request of such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the LC Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the LC Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 3.04(a) and 3.04(b) and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the LC Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a)any Continuation, Conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than an ABR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b)any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, Continue or Convert any Loan other than an ABR Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c)any assignment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained (but excluding any loss of anticipated profits). The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Loan made by it at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or (iii) any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, 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 (x) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (y) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower may replace any Lender to the extent contemplated by, and in accordance with, Section 10.13.

3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this ARTICLE III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To confirm each Lender’s understanding concerning Restricted Persons and Restricted Persons’ businesses, properties and obligations and to induce each Lender to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder, the Borrower represents and warrants to each Lender that:

Each of the Restricted Persons and the General Partner is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization, having all powers required to carry on its business and enter into and carry out the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Restricted Persons and the General Partner is duly qualified, in good standing, and authorized to do business in all other jurisdictions wherein the character of the properties owned or held by it or the nature of the business transacted by it makes such qualification necessary except where the failure to so qualify could not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

5.03 Authorization. Each Restricted Person has duly taken all action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by it of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to authorize the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and the performance of its obligations thereunder. The Borrower is duly authorized to borrow funds hereunder and obtain Letters of Credit hereunder.

5.04 No Conflicts or Consents. The execution and delivery by the various Restricted Persons of the Loan Documents to which each is a party, the performance by each of its obligations under such Loan Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the various Loan Documents, do not and will not (a) conflict with any provision of (i) any Law, (ii) the organizational documents of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or the General Partner, (iii) any agreement governing material Indebtedness for borrowed money of the Restricted Persons or (iv) any other material agreement, judgment, license, order or permit applicable to or binding upon the Borrower, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the General Partner, (b) result in the acceleration of any material Indebtedness owed by the Borrower, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the General Partner, or (c) result in or require the creation of any Lien upon any assets or properties of the Borrower, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the General Partner other than pursuant to the Loan Documents. Except as expressly contemplated in the Loan Documents or disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule, no permit, consent, approval, authorization or order of, and no notice to or filing, registration or qualification with, any Tribunal or third party is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Restricted Person of any Loan Document or to consummate any transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

(d)the occurrence of any Termination Event; and

(e)the filing of any suit or proceeding, or the assertion in writing of a claim, against any Restricted Person or with respect to any Restricted Person’s properties which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Each notice pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by a statement of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower setting forth details of the occurrence referred to herein and stating what action the Restricted Person has taken and proposes to take with respect thereto. Each notice pursuant to Section 6.04(b) shall describe with particularity any and all provisions of this Agreement, the Indenture or the Term Loan Credit Agreement or any related documents, if applicable, that have been breached.

6.05 Maintenance of Properties. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Restricted Person to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, its properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section shall not prevent any Restricted Person from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Borrower has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the LC Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to (a) upon the request of the Borrower in connection with any incurrence of Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness, enter into one or more amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to effectuate the Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness, (b) upon the request of the Borrower in connection with the incurrence of Senior Note Refinancing Indebtedness or Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness, enter into intercreditor arrangements with the agent or lenders in respect of such Senior Note Refinancing Indebtedness or Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness to reflect the pari passu or junior nature of the Lien securing the Collateral in respect of such Senior Note Refinancing Indebtedness or Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness, and (c) upon the request of the Borrower in connection with any incurrence of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 7.01(l), enter into any amendments to any Collateral Document to include such Indebtedness as a secured obligation thereunder or any intercreditor arrangements with the trustee, agent or lenders in respect of such Indebtedness to reflect the pari passu or junior nature of the Lien securing the Collateral in respect of such Indebtedness. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuer, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person 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 the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents),

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 the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

(c)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, 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 Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the 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 (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) 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 describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the LC Issuer.

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 or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document 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.

9.04 Reliance by 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the LC Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the LC Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. 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.

9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent.

9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the LC Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Cash Collateral held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the LC Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Cash Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) 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 and the LC Issuer directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). 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 retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute the resignation, subject to Section 10.06(h), of Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (or its Affiliate or branch then serving that either such capacity) as LC Issuer. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring LC Issuer, (ii) the retiring LC Issuer shall, subject to Section 10.06(h), be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor LC Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or use commercially reasonable efforts to make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring LC Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring LC Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the LC Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 the LC Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Administrative Agent, a Lender or the LC Issuer hereunder.

9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Restricted Person, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the LC Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the LC Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.12 and 10.04.

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

9.10 Guaranty and Collateral Matters. The Lenders hereby authorize U.S. Bank National Association to act as Collateral Agent under the Collateral Agency Agreement and the Pledge Agreement and authorize the Administrative Agent to execute the Collateral Agency Agreement on their behalf. Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Collateral Documents and Guarantors may be released from their obligations under the Guaranty at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents or as provided hereby. Upon the request of the Borrower, in connection with any transaction otherwise permitted hereunder, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent is authorized to release Collateral that is Disposed of (or whose owner ceases to be a Subsidiary) and Guarantors that cease to be Restricted Persons or otherwise cease to be required to be Guarantors under the Loan Documents and to execute any intercreditor arrangements or amendments to the Collateral Documents to reflect the pari passu or junior nature of any Liens associated with Indebtedness permitted to be incurred (and so secured) hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.01(l) and secured pursuant to Section 7.02(s)), in each case, pursuant to a transaction permitted by this Agreement. In addition, each of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent is authorized to amend the Collateral Documents to provide for the exclusion of the Excluded ETP LLC Assets from the grant of the Lien provided for therein as security for the Obligations so long as,

contemporaneously therewith, the Excluded ETP LLC Assets are also excluded from the grant of the Lien provided for therein as security for the Term Loan Obligations and, in connection with the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall (and the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) execute, deliver or acknowledge any necessary or proper amendments or other modifications to the Collateral Documents or other agreements or filings to exclude the Excluded ETP LLC Assets from the grant of the Lien provided for in the Collateral Documents as security for the Obligations. Upon receipt of any such request, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall (and the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) execute, deliver or acknowledge (a) any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release to release (i) any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Person as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder and (ii) any Liens on Collateral that is Disposed of (or whose owner ceases to be a Subsidiary), or (b) any necessary or proper amendments to the Collateral Documents, instruments, intercreditor agreements or other agreements (i) to include any additional Indebtedness as a secured obligation under the Collateral Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.01(l)), and (ii) to reflect the pari passu or junior nature of any Lien securing the Collateral in respect of any such Indebtedness (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Liens granted pursuant to Section 7.02(s)), in each case, pursuant to a transaction permitted by this Agreement. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty or to release any Collateral from the Collateral Documents, in either case, pursuant to this Section 9.10.

9.11 Release With Respect to Senior Note Obligations. At any time that the Senior Note Obligations are no longer required, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, to be equally and ratably secured with the Obligations, the Lenders authorize each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to, at the Borrower’s request, enter into such amendments, releases, terminations or other instruments in connection with the Loan Documents as may be necessary or reasonably requested to reflect that the Senior Note Obligations are no longer equally and ratably secured.

10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.14(e).

10.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a)Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (other than as permitted by Section 7.03) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their

respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the LC Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in LC Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided that, except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of 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 $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a) or (b) or sub-clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 8.01(i) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, further, that simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Approved Funds shall be combined for purposes of determining whether the minimum assignment requirement is met. Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(i)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 with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; and

(ii)the parties to each assignment shall (A) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (B) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, which the Administrative Agent may waive or reduce in its sole discretion, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required under Section 3.01(e).

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a 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 entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (d) of this Section.

(c)Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and LC Obligations 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 each of the Borrower, the LC Issuer or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in LC Obligations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuer 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, waiver or other modification described in Section 10.01(a)(ii), Section 10.01(a)(iii), Section 10.01(a)(iv) or Section 10.01(a)(vii) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15 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 the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such 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.

(e)Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or Section 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except (i) to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation or (ii) if the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01(a) unless such Participant agrees to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

(f)Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g)Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, 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.

(h)Resignation as LC Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (or any of its Affiliates or branches then serving as LC Issuer) may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as LC Issuer. In the event of any such resignation, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor LC Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that (i) no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (or such Affiliate or branch) as LC Issuer and (ii) no such appointment will become effective without the consent of the Lender so appointed. If Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (or such affiliate or branch) resigns as LC Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the LC Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as LC Issuer and all LC Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in Matured LC Obligations pursuant to Section 2.09).

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives, including any numbering, administration or settlement service providers, (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates or to any such regulatory authority in accordance with such Lender’s regulatory compliance policy, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrower and its Obligations or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the LC Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than

any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to rating agencies, market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments.

10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the LC Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the LC Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the LC Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the LC Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the LC Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the LC Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the LC Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the LC Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application; provided further, that to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligation,” no amounts received from, or set off with respect to, any Guarantor or grantor under the Collateral Documents shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Person.

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

10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (iii) if a Lender gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 3.02, (iv) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing under Section 3.05 (in a disproportionate manner relative to other Lenders), (v) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (vi) any Lender has refused to consent to any waiver or amendment with respect to any Loan Document that requires such Lender’s consent and has been consented to by the Majority Lenders or Combined Majority Lenders, as applicable, or (vii) any Lender is a Non-Extending Lender under Section 2.19, 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, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a)the Borrower or the assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

(b)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and Letter of Credit participations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) 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);

(c)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d)such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(e)in the case of a Non-Extending Lender, such replacement Lender agrees to extend the Scheduled Maturity Date of the applicable Loans of the Non-Extending Lender.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or 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.
