Each of the parties hereto agrees that, effective on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date (as defined below), Section 6.01(c) of the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(c) as soon as available and in any event within (x) with respect to the calendar year of the Company ending December 31, 2021, 150 days and (y) with respect to each subsequent calendar year of the Company, 210 days, in each case, following the end of such calendar year of the Company (commencing with the calendar year ending December 31, 2021), a Pricing Certificate for the most recently-ended Annual Period for each KPI Metric; provided, that, in any fiscal year the Company may elect not to deliver a Pricing Certificate, and such election shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default (but such failure to so deliver a Pricing Certificate by the end of such 150-day or 210-day, as applicable, period shall result in the Sustainability Fee Adjustment and the Sustainability Margin Adjustment being applied subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.19). Failure of the Company to deliver a Pricing Certificate shall be deemed an election of the Company to not deliver a Pricing Certificate for such period.”
