(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer, or as of a specified future date will no longer be, representative.

THE CREDITS

Within the foregoing limits, any Borrower may borrow under this Section, repay or, to the extent permitted by Section 2.10, prepay Loans and reborrow at any time prior to the Termination Date for any Lender under this Section 2.01. Subject to 8.01, each Borrowing shall be comprised (i) in the case of Borrowings in Dollars, entirely of Base Rate Loans or Term Benchmark Loans and (ii) in the case of Borrowings in any other Agreed Currency, entirely of Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable, in each case of the same Agreed Currency, as the relevant Borrower may request in accordance herewith; provided that each Base Rate Loan shall only be made in Dollars. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten (10) Term Benchmark Borrowings or RFR Borrowings outstanding.

(b) Minimum Borrowings. Each Borrowing under this Section 2.01 shall be in an aggregate Dollar Amount of not less than $10,000,000 (except that any such Borrowing may be in the aggregate Dollar Amount of the available Commitments) and shall be made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments.

(c) Extension of Commitments. (i) Each Lender’s Commitment may be extended, if at the time no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the manner set forth in this subsection (c), on not more than two occasions (any such occasion, an “Extension Date”) for a period of one year after the date on which the Commitment of such Lender would have been terminated; provided that no such extension request shall result in a Termination Date for any Lender that is more than five years after the relevant Extension Date. If the Principal Borrower wishes to request an extension of each Lender’s Commitment, it shall give notice to that effect to the Administrative Agent not less than 45 days and not more than 90 days prior to the applicable Extension Date, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the Lenders of such request. Each Lender will use its best efforts to respond to such request, whether affirmatively or negatively, as it may elect in its discretion, within 30 days of such request (or such longer period as the Principal Borrower and the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree) to the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall not have responded affirmatively within such 30-day period (or such longer period, if applicable), such Lender shall be deemed to have rejected the Principal Borrower’s proposal to extend its Commitment, and only the Commitments of those Lenders which have responded affirmatively shall be extended, subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of counterparts of an Extension Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit H hereto (an “Extension Agreement”) duly completed and signed by the Principal Borrower, the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders which have responded affirmatively. The Administrative Agent shall provide to the Principal Borrower, no later than 10 days prior to the Extension Date for any such request, a list of the Lenders which have responded affirmatively. The Extension Agreement shall be executed and delivered no later than five days prior to the Extension Date, and no extension of the Commitments pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be legally binding on any party hereto unless and until such Extension Agreement is so executed and delivered by Lenders having at least 51% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments.

(ii) If any Lender rejects, or is deemed to have rejected, the Principal Borrower’s proposal to extend its Commitment (A) this Agreement shall terminate on the Termination Date with respect to such Lender, (B) the Borrower shall pay to such Lender on the Termination Date any amounts due and payable to such Lender on such date and (C) the Principal Borrower may, if it so elects, designate a Person not theretofore a Lender and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to become a Lender, or agree with an existing Lender that such Lender’s Commitment shall be increased; provided that the aggregate amount of the Commitments following any designation or agreement may not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments as in effect immediately prior to the relevant request. Upon execution and delivery by the Principal Borrower and such replacement Lender or other Person of an instrument of assumption in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and execution and delivery of the Extension Agreement pursuant to subsection (c)(i), such existing Lender shall have a Commitment as therein set forth or such other Person shall become a Lender with a Commitment as therein set forth and all the rights and obligations of a Lender with such a Commitment hereunder.

(iii) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Principal Borrower of the effectiveness of each extension of the Commitments pursuant to this subsection (c).

(iv) If, by reason of the operation of this subsection (c), the Termination Date of any Lender (a “Terminating Lender”) occurs prior to the Termination Date of any other Lender, then (i) upon such earlier Termination Date, the participations of the Terminating Lender in all then outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the other Lenders and/or cash collateralized in the same manner as contemplated by Section 2.21(d) and (ii) subject to implementation of clause (i), the participation of the Terminating Lender in each then outstanding Letter of Credit shall terminate.

Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article 3 has not been satisfied or waived in accordance with Section 11.05, the Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower on the date of each Borrowing as directed by the Borrower.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received at its New York Office notice from a Lender prior to the date (or in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing) 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 to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.03 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender (and, if such Lender shall not have paid such amount to the Administrative Agent within two Business Days of the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Borrower) agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the

case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable under this Agreement to such Loans, or in the case of Alternative Currencies, in accordance with such market practice, in each case, as applicable. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation to make a Loan on such date.

(e) Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to any Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of such Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.04 Notes.

(a) Each Lender may, on and from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Principal Borrower and the Administrative Agent, request (i) that its Loans to any Borrower be evidenced by a single Note of such Borrower payable to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Loans to such Borrower or (ii) that its Loans of a particular Type or currency to any Borrower be evidenced by a separate Note of such Borrower in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Loans. Each such Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto with appropriate modifications to reflect the fact that it evidences solely Loans of the relevant Type or currency. Each reference in this Agreement to the “Notes” of such Lender shall be deemed to refer to and include any or all of such Notes, as the context may require.

(b) Each Lender shall record the date, amount, Type, currency and maturity of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made with respect thereto, and may, if such Lender so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note, endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of any Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Each Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrowers so to endorse its Notes and to attach to and make a part of any Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

Section 2.05 Maturity of Loans. Each Loan of each Lender shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable (together with interest accrued thereon), on the Termination Date of such Lender.

Section 2.06 Interest Rates.

(a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate Margin and the Base Rate for each such day. Such interest shall be payable at maturity, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date prior to maturity and, with respect to the principal amount of any Base Rate Loan converted to a Term Benchmark Loan, on the date such amount is so converted. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans for each such day.

(b) Each Term Benchmark Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Term Benchmark Margin for such day plus the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Adjusted EURIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof.

(c) Each RFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the RFR Margin and the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for each such day. Such interest shall be payable at maturity and on each date that is on the numerically corresponding day in each calendar month that is one month after the Borrowing of such RFR Loan (or, if there is no such numerically corresponding day in such month, then the last day of such month). Any overdue principal of or interest on any RFR Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the sum of the RFR Margin for such day plus Adjusted Daily Simple RFR otherwise applicable to RFR Loans for each such day.

(d) Any overdue principal of or interest on any Term Benchmark Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the sum of the Term Benchmark Margin for such day plus the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Adjusted EURIBO Rate, as applicable, that is applicable to such Loan on the day before such payment was due.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

(f) Interest in respect of Loans denominated in Dollars shall be paid in Dollars, and interest in respect of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be paid in such Alternative Currency.

Section 2.07 Fees. (a) The Principal Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders ratably a facility fee in Dollars at the Facility Fee Rate (determined daily in accordance with the Pricing Schedule) on the daily aggregate amount of the Credit Exposures. Such facility fee shall accrue from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which the Credit Exposures are permanently reduced to zero.

(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (i) for the account of the Lenders ratably a letter of credit fee in Dollars accruing daily on the aggregate Dollar Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at a rate per annum equal to the Term Benchmark Margin or, in the case of performance standby Letters of Credit with respect to nonfinancial contractual obligations, a rate per annum equal to 50% of the Term Benchmark Margin (determined daily in accordance with the Pricing Schedule) and (ii) for the account of each Issuing Lender a letter of credit fronting fee accruing daily on the aggregate Dollar Amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender at a rate per annum mutually agreed from time to time by the Principal Borrower and such Issuing Lender, as well as such Issuing Lender’s standard fees and commissions with respect to the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, transfer, presentment or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.

(c) Accrued fees under this Section 2.07 shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the fifteenth (15th) day following each Quarterly Payment Date and on the date of termination of the Commitments in their entirety (and, if later, the date the Credit Exposures are permanently reduced to zero). All fees payable

hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds in Dollars (except as expressly provided in this Section), to the Administrative Agent (or to the relevant Issuing Lender, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

(d) The Principal Borrower shall pay to the appropriate Persons for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters.

Section 2.08 Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) The Principal Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice (which notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other matters specified therein, in which case such notice may be rescinded by the Principal Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied) to the Administrative Agent at its New York Office, (i) terminate the Commitments at any time, if no Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities are outstanding at such time or (ii) ratably reduce from time to time by an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any larger multiple thereof, so long as (x) the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall not exceed the Total Outstanding Amount and (y) the Outstanding Amount of each Lender shall not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment, in each case after giving effect thereto. Promptly after receiving a notice pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the contents thereof.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the acquisition of one Lender by another Lender, or the merger, consolidation or other combination of any two or more Lenders (any such acquisition, merger, consolidation or other combination being referred to hereinafter as a “Combination” and each Lender which is a party to such Combination being hereinafter referred to as a “Combined Lender”), the Principal Borrower may notify the Administrative Agent that it desires to reduce the Commitment of the Lender surviving such Combination (the “Surviving Lender”) to an amount equal to the Commitment of that Combined Lender which had the largest Commitment of each of the Combined Lenders party to such Combination (such largest Commitment being the “Surviving Commitment” and the Commitments of the other Combined Lenders being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Retired Commitments”). If the Required Lenders (determined as set forth below) and the Administrative Agent agree to such reduction in the Surviving Lender’s Commitment, then (i) the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be reduced by the Retired Commitments effective upon the effective date of the Combination (or such later date as the Principal Borrower may specify in its request), provided, that, on or before such date the Borrowers have paid in full the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and funded participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder of each of the Combined Lenders other than the Combined Lender whose Commitment is the Surviving Commitment, (ii) from and after the effective date of such reduction, the Surviving Lender shall have no obligation with respect to the Retired Commitments, and (iii) the Principal Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent whether it wants such reduction to be a permanent reduction or a temporary reduction. If such reduction is to be a temporary reduction, then the Principal Borrower shall be responsible for finding one or more financial institutions (which for the avoidance of doubt may be an existing Lender) (each, a “Replacement Lender”), acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), willing to assume the obligations of a Lender hereunder with aggregate Commitments up to the amount of the Retired Commitments. The Administrative Agent may require the Replacement Lenders to execute such documents, instruments or agreements as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary or desirable to evidence such Replacement Lenders’ agreement to become parties hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.08(b), Required Lenders shall be determined as if the reduction in the aggregate amount of the Commitments requested by the Principal Borrower had occurred (i.e., the Combined Lenders

shall be deemed to have a single Commitment equal to the Surviving Commitment and the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be deemed to have been reduced by the Retired Commitments).

Section 2.09 Mandatory Termination of Commitments. The Commitment of each Lender shall terminate on its Termination Date.

Section 2.10 Optional Prepayments.

(a) Subject in the case of Term Benchmark Loans to Section 2.12, the Borrower may upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other matters specified therein, in which case such notice may be rescinded by the Principal Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied subject to Section 2.12) (i) at its New York Office not later than 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day for prepayment on that date of any Group of Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans, (ii) at its New York Office not later than 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day before the date of prepayment of any Group of Loans consisting of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars, (iii) at its London Office not later than 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day before the date of prepayment of any Group of Loans consisting of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in euro, prepay any such Group of Loans, (iv) at its London Office not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fifth RFR Business Day before the date of prepayment, prepay any Group of Loans consisting of RFR Loans denominated in Sterling, and (v) at its New York Office not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fifth RFR Business Day before the date of prepayment, prepay any Group of Loans consisting of RFR Loans denominated in Dollars, in each case in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in Dollar Amounts aggregating not less than $10,000,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to but not including the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Lenders included in such Group of Loans.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s ratable share of such prepayment and once notice is so given to the Lenders, the Borrower’s notice of prepayment shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower (except as provided in Section 2.10(a)).

Section 2.11 General Provisions as to Payments.

(a) Each Borrower, as applicable, shall make payments of principal of, and interest on, the Dollar-Denominated Loans made to it, of Letter of Credit Liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars issued for its account and of fees owing by it hereunder, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction, to the Administrative Agent at its New York Office. Each Borrower, as applicable, shall make payments of principal of, and interest on, the Alternative Currency Loans made to it and of Letter of Credit Liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency issued for its account, in the relevant Alternative Currency in such funds as may then be customary for the settlement of international transactions in such Alternative Currency, without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction, to the Administrative Agent at its London Office. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Term Benchmark Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof

shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the RFR Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

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

(c) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(b), 2.11(b), 2.19(e) or 7.06 and has not cured the payment within two (2) Business Days, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lenders to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. Such cash collateral shall be returned to the Lender (x) if such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, once it ceases to be a Defaulting Lender or (y) upon termination of this Agreement; provided that, in each of clause (x) and (y), the Lender has made all payments required to be made hereunder.

Section 2.12 Funding Losses.

(a) With respect to Loans that are not RFR Loans, in the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10), (ii) the conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(a) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (iv) the assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.06(b) or (v) the failure by the Borrower to make any payment of any Loan (or interest due thereof) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss (excluding loss of margin), cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and the calculation of such amount or amounts in reasonable detail shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate free of clearly demonstrable error within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(b) With respect to RFR Loans, in the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any RFR Loan other than on the interest payment date for such RFR Loan pursuant to the terms of Section 2.06(c) applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10), (ii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any RFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(a) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (iii) the assignment of any RFR Loan other than on the interest payment date for such RFR Loan pursuant to the terms of Section 2.06(c) applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.06(b) or (iv) the failure by the Borrower to make any payment of any Loan (or interest due thereof) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and the calculation of such amount or amounts in reasonable detail shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate free of clearly demonstrable error within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.13 Computation of Interest and Fees Interest computed by reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the EURIBO Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days. Interest computed by reference to the Daily Simple RFR with respect to Sterling or the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). In each case interest shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All interest hereunder on any Loan shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Loan as of the applicable date of determination. The applicable Base Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, Term SOFR Rate, Adjusted EURIBO Rate, EURIBO Rate, Adjusted Daily Simple RFR or Daily Simple RFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

Section 2.14 [Reserved].

Section 2.15 Method of Electing Interest Rates.

(a) Each Borrowing shall initially be of the Type specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the Type of each such Group of Loans (subject to subsection 2.15(d) of this Section and the provisions of Article 8), as follows:

(i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars as of any Business Day; and

(ii) if such Loans are Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or elect to continue such Loans as Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars for an additional Interest Period, subject to Section 2.12 if any such conversion is effective on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loans.

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”) to the Administrative Agent at its New York Office not later than 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group of Loans and (ii) the portion to which such Notice of Interest Rate Election applies, and the

remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each in an aggregate Dollar Amount of not less than $10,000,000 (unless such portion is comprised of Base Rate Loans). If no such notice is timely received before the end of an Interest Period for any Group of Loans consisting of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such Group of Loans be converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of such Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section shall not be construed to permit any Borrower to (i) change the currency of any Borrowing or (ii) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available under the Class of Commitments pursuant to which such Borrowing was made.

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

(i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

(ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of Section 2.15(a) above;

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

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

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

(c) Promptly after receiving a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

(d) The Borrower shall not be entitled to elect to convert any Loans to, or continue any Loans for an additional Interest Period as, Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars if (i) the aggregate Dollar Amount of any Group of Loans consisting of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars created or continued as a result of such election would be less than $10,000,000 or (ii) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing when the Borrower delivers notice of such election to the Administrative Agent.

(e) The initial Interest Period for each Borrowing of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Euro shall be specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. The Borrower may specify the duration of each subsequent Interest Period applicable to such Group of Loans by delivering to the Administrative Agent at its London Office not later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the third Business Day before the end of the immediately preceding Interest Period, a notice specifying the Group of Loans to which such notice applies and the duration of such subsequent Interest Period (which shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period). Such notice may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group of Loans and (ii) the Dollar Amounts of the portion to which such notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each at least $10,000,000. If no such notice is timely received by the Administrative Agent before the end of any applicable Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that the subsequent Interest Period for such Group of Loans shall have a duration of one month (subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period).

(f) If the relevant Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Election with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing in Dollars with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If the relevant Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Notice of Interest Rate Election with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Term Benchmark Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected that such Term Benchmark Borrowing shall automatically be continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing in its original Agreed Currency with an Interest Period of one month at the end of such Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the applicable Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing or an RFR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, (x) (A) each Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) each RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing immediately and (y) each Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency plus the CBR Margin; provided that, if the Administrative Agent reasonably and in good faith determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent demonstrable error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency shall either be (A) converted to a Base Rate Borrowing denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such Alternative Currency) at the end of the Interest Period or on the Interest Payment Date, as applicable, therefor or (B) prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period or on the Interest Payment Date, as applicable, in full; provided that if no election is made by the relevant Borrower by the earlier of (x) the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Principal Borrower of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Term Benchmark Loan, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) above.

Section 2.16 Determining Dollar Amounts; Related Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Amount of:

(i) any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, on each of the following: (i) the date of the Borrowing of such Loan and (ii) (A) with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan, each date of a conversion or continuation of such Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (B) with respect to an RFR Loan, each date that is on the numerically corresponding day in each calendar month that is one month after the Borrowing of such Loan (or, if there is no such numerically corresponding day in such month, then the last day of such month),

(ii) any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, on each of the following: (i) the date on which such Letter of Credit is issued, (ii) the first Business Day of each calendar month and (iii) the date of any amendment of such Letter of Credit that has the effect of increasing the face amount thereof, and

(iii) any Credit Event, on any additional date as the Administrative Agent may determine at any time when an Event of Default exists.

(b) Each determination of a Dollar Amount pursuant to clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) above shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

(c) If after giving effect to any such determination of a Dollar Amount, the Total Outstanding Amount exceeds the aggregate amount of the Commitments, the Borrowers shall within five Business Days prepay outstanding Loans (as selected by the Principal Borrower and notified to the Lenders through the Administrative Agent not less than three Business Days prior to the date of prepayment) or take other action to the extent necessary to eliminate any such excess.

Section 2.17 [Reserved].

Section 2.18 Judgment Currency. If, under any applicable law and whether pursuant to a judgment being made or registered against any Borrower or for any other reason, any payment under or in connection with this Agreement is made or satisfied in a currency (the “Other Currency”) other than that in which the relevant payment is due (the “Required Currency”) then, to the extent that the payment (when converted into the Required Currency at the rate of exchange on the date of payment or, if it is not practicable for the party entitled thereto (the “Payee”) to purchase the Required Currency with the Other Currency on the date of payment, at the rate of exchange as soon thereafter as it is practicable for it to do so) actually received by the Payee falls short of the amount due under the terms of this Agreement, such Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, as a separate and independent obligation, indemnify and hold harmless the Payee against the amount of such short-fall. For the purpose of this Section, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Payee is able on the relevant date to purchase the Required Currency with the Other Currency and shall take into account any premium and other costs of exchange.

Section 2.19 Letters of Credit. (a) On the Closing Date, without further action by any party hereto, the applicable Issuing Lenders shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed to have acquired from the applicable Issuing Lenders, a participation in each Existing Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of (i) the aggregate amount available to be drawn thereunder and (ii) the aggregate unpaid amount of any outstanding reimbursement obligations in respect thereof. Such participations shall be on all the same terms and conditions as participations granted in Additional Letters of Credit under Section 2.19(b).

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender agrees to issue Additional Letters of Credit hereunder denominated in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency from time to time after the Closing Date upon the request of any Borrower; provided that, immediately after each Additional Letter of Credit is issued (i) the Total Outstanding Amount shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments, (ii) the Outstanding Amount of such Lender shall at no time exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment, (iii) the aggregate Dollar Amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities under Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not exceed such Issuing Lender’s Letter of Credit Fronting Sublimit, (iv) the aggregate Dollar Amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not exceed any applicable LC Sublimit and (v) neither Barclays Bank PLC nor Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., in its capacity as an Issuing Lender, shall not be obligated to issue trade or commercial Letters of Credit hereunder. Upon the date of issuance by an Issuing Lender of an Additional Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit and the related Letter of Credit Liabilities in the proportion their respective Commitments bear to the aggregate Commitments. If required by the applicable Issuing Lender, as a condition to any such Letter of Credit issuance, the Principal Borrower shall have entered into a continuing agreement (or other letter of credit agreement) for the issuance of letters of credit and/or shall submit a letter of credit application, in a form agreed to by the Principal Borrower and the applicable Issuing Lender in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit (each, a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. An Issuing Lender

shall not be under any obligation to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing, amending or extending such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or require that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance, amendment or extension of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Closing Date and that such Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it; or (ii) the issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.

(c) The Borrower shall give the applicable Issuing Lender notice at least five Business Days prior to the requested issuance of a Letter of Credit (or such lesser notice as may be acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender) specifying the date such Letter of Credit is to be issued, and describing the terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions to be supported thereby (such notice, including any such notice given in connection with the extension or amendment of a Letter of Credit, a “Notice of Issuance”). Upon receipt of a Notice of Issuance, the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit. The issuance by the applicable Issuing Lender of each Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article 3, be subject to the conditions precedent that (i) such Letter of Credit shall be in such form and contain such terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender and the Borrower shall have executed and delivered such other instruments and agreements relating to such Letter of Credit as the applicable Issuing Lender shall have reasonably requested and (ii) no Stop Issuance Notice shall be in effect. The Borrower shall also pay to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account issuance, drawing, amendment and extension charges in the amounts and at the times as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Lender.

(d) The extension or amendment to increase the amount of any Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an issuance of such Letter of Credit, and if any Letter of Credit contains a provision pursuant to which it is deemed to be extended unless notice of termination is given by the applicable Issuing Lender, the applicable Issuing Lender shall timely give such notice of termination unless it has theretofore timely received a Notice of Issuance and the other conditions to issuance of a Letter of Credit have also theretofore been met with respect to such extension. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or before the close of business on the date that is one year after such Letter of Credit is issued (or, in the case of any extension thereof, one year after such extension); provided that (i) a Letter of Credit may contain a provision pursuant to which it is deemed to be extended on an annual basis unless notice of termination is given by the applicable Issuing Lender and (ii) in no event will a Letter of Credit expire (including pursuant to an extension thereof) on a date later than the LC Termination Date unless Cash Collateralized or backed by a standby letter of credit in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender.

(e) Each Issuing Lender shall, within the time period stipulated by the terms and conditions of the applicable Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof (and, if no time period is so stipulated, promptly), examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. After such examination, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Principal Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or email in accordance with Section 11.01) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Principal Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement in accordance with this Section 2.19(e), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders as to

the amount to be paid as a result of such demand or drawing and the payment date. If an Issuing Lender shall make any Letter of Credit Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such Letter of Credit Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such Letter of Credit Disbursement (the “Reimbursement Obligation”) in the currency of such Letter of Credit Disbursement (i) if such Letter of Credit Disbursement shall have been denominated in Dollars, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date that such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such Letter of Credit Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice and (ii) if such Letter of Credit Disbursement shall have been denominated in an Alternative Currency, not later than 12:00 noon (London time) on the Business Day following the date that such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such Letter of Credit Disbursement prior to 4:00 p.m. (London time) on the date such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon (London time) on the second Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice (it being understood that, subject to the terms and conditions otherwise applicable to a Borrowing hereunder, such payment may, in each case, be financed with a Borrowing hereunder). If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.03 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.03 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and the applicable Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit Disbursement (other than the funding of a Borrowing as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Letter of Credit Disbursement.

(f) If an Issuing Lender shall make any Letter of Credit Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such Letter of Credit Disbursement in full on the date such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such Letter of Credit Disbursement, (i) if such amount is denominated in Dollars, at the rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate Margin and the Base Rate for such day, (ii) if such amount is denominated in an Alternative Currency, at the rate per annum equal to the sum of the Term Benchmark Margin plus the rate per annum at which one-day deposits in relevant currency in an amount approximately equal to such unpaid amount are offered by the London Office of the Administrative Agent in the London interbank market for such day; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such Letter of Credit Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then 2% per annum shall be added to the applicable rate specified above. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(g) The obligations of the Borrower and each Lender under Section 2.19(e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto, provided by any party affected thereby;

(iii) the use which may be made of the Letter of Credit by, or any acts or omission of, a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting);

(iv) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other rights that the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting), the Lenders (including the applicable Issuing Lender) or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or the applicable Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction;

(v) any statement or any 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 whatsoever;

(vi) payment under a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit against presentation to the applicable Issuing Lender of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit;

(vii) any termination of the Commitments prior to, on or after the payment date for any Letter of Credit, whether at the scheduled termination thereof, by operation of Article 6 or otherwise; or

(viii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Lender (including the applicable Issuing Lender), the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this subsection (viii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s or the Lender’s obligations hereunder.

(h) The Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless each Lender (including the applicable Issuing Lender) and the Administrative Agent from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which such Lender or the Administrative Agent may incur (including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which the applicable Issuing Lender may incur by reason of or in connection with the failure of any other Lender to fulfill or comply with its obligations to such Issuing Lender hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights the Borrower may have against such defaulting Lender)), and none of the Lenders (including the applicable Issuing Lender) nor the Administrative Agent nor any of their officers or directors or employees or agents shall be liable or responsible, by reason of or in connection with the execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit, including without limitation any of the circumstances enumerated in subsection Section 2.19(g) above, as well as (i) any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, (ii) any loss or delay in the transmission of any document required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and (iii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Lender, including without limitation any government acts, or any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under such Letter of Credit; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the

applicable Issuing Lender for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses, and the Borrower shall have a claim for direct (but not consequential) damage suffered by it, to the extent found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by (i) the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the applicable Issuing Lender or any of its Related Persons or (ii) a material breach by the applicable Issuing Lender or any Related Person thereof of its obligations under the Loan Documents. Nothing in this subsection Section 2.19(h) is intended to limit the obligations of the Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement. To the extent the Borrower does not indemnify the applicable Issuing Lender as required by this subsection, the Lenders agree to do so ratably in accordance with their Commitments.

(i) If the Required Lenders reasonably determine at any time that the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 would not be satisfied in respect of a Borrowing at such time, then the Required Lenders may request that the Administrative Agent issue a “Stop Issuance Notice”, and the Administrative Agent shall issue such notice to each Issuing Lender. Such Stop Issuance Notice shall be withdrawn upon a determination by the Required Lenders that the circumstances giving rise thereto no longer exist. No Letter of Credit shall be issued while a Stop Issuance Notice is in effect. The Required Lenders may request issuance of a Stop Issuance Notice only if there is a reasonable basis therefor, and shall consider reasonably and in good faith a request from the Borrower for withdrawal of the same on the basis that the conditions in Section 3.02 are satisfied; provided that the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders may and shall conclusively rely upon any Stop Issuance Notice while it remains in effect.

(j) Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

(k) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the International Standby Practices 1998 published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, Inc. shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(l) Each Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Principal Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Principal Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Lender, any Issuing Lender may resign as an Issuing Lender at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Principal Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such resigning Issuing Lender shall be replaced in accordance with this Section 2.19(l).

Section 2.20 Increased Commitments, Incremental Term Loans. The Principal Borrower may from time to time elect to increase the Commitments or enter into one or more tranches of term loans (each an “Incremental Term Loan”), in each case in minimum increments of $10,000,000, so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases and all such Incremental Term Loans does not exceed $1,250,000,000. The Principal Borrower may arrange for any such increase or tranche to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Commitment, or to participate in such Incremental Term Loans, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, a “New Lender”; provided that no Ineligible Institution may be a New Lender), which agree to increase their existing Commitments, or to participate in such Incremental Term Loans, or provide new Commitments, as the case may be; provided that (i) each New Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Principal Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and in the case of an increase in the Commitments, each Issuing Lender (each such consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Principal Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute an Increasing Lender Supplement, and (y) in the case of a New Lender, the Principal Borrower and such New Lender execute a New Lender Supplement. No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in the increase or any Incremental Term Loan) shall be required for any increase in Commitments or Incremental Term Loan pursuant to this Section 2.20. Increases and new Commitments and Incremental Term Loans created pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Principal Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or New Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) or tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase or Incremental Term Loans, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 3.02 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Principal Borrower and (B) the Parent shall be in compliance (on a pro forma basis) with the covenant contained in Section 5.07 and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received (x) documents and opinions consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date as to the organizational power and authority of the Borrowers to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase or Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be and (y) a reaffirmation from the Principal Borrower; provided that, with respect to any Incremental Term Loans incurred for the purpose of financing an acquisition for which the Principal Borrower has determined, in good faith, that limited conditionality is reasonably necessary (any such acquisition, a “Limited Conditionality Acquisition” and such Incremental Term Loans, “Acquisition-Related Incremental Term Loans”), (x) clause (i)(A) of this sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied so long as (1) as of the date of execution of the definitive acquisition documentation in respect of a Limited Conditionality Acquisition (a “Limited Conditionality Acquisition Agreement”) by the parties thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from entry into such documentation, (2) as of the date of the borrowing of such Acquisition-Related Incremental Term Loans, no Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), (h) or (i) is in existence immediately before or immediately after giving effect (including on a pro forma basis) to such borrowing and to any concurrent transactions and any substantially concurrent use of proceeds thereof, (3) the representations and warranties set forth in Article 4 shall be true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case, in all respects) as of the date of execution of the applicable Limited Conditionality Acquisition Agreement by the parties thereto, except to the extent any such representation and warranty expressly relates to an earlier date in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (except to the extent such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case, in all respects) as of such earlier date and (4) as of the date of the borrowing of such Acquisition-Related Incremental Term Loans, customary “Sungard” representations and warranties (with such representations and warranties to be reasonably determined by the Lenders providing

such Acquisition-Related Incremental Term Loans) shall be true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case, in all respects) immediately prior to, and immediately after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Acquisition-Related Incremental Term Loans, except to the extent any such representation and warranty expressly relates to an earlier date in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (except to the extent such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case, in all respects) as of such earlier date and (y) clause (i)(B) of this sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied so long as the Parent shall be in compliance (on a pro forma basis) with the covenant contained in Section 5.07 as of the date of execution of the related Limited Conditionality Acquisition Agreement by the parties thereto. On the effective date of any increase in the Commitments or any Incremental Term Loans being made, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and New Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, upon giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Loans, and (ii) the applicable Borrowers shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Loans as of the date of any increase in the Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the applicable Borrower, or the Principal Borrower on behalf of the applicable Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Term Benchmark Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the applicable Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.12 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods. The Incremental Term Loans (a) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Loans, (b) shall not mature earlier than the Termination Date (but may have amortization prior to such date) and (c) shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Loans; provided that (i) the terms and conditions applicable to any tranche of Incremental Term Loans maturing after the Termination Date may provide for material additional or different financial or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during periods after the Termination Date and (ii) the Incremental Term Loans may be priced differently than the Loans. Incremental Term Loans may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or restatement (an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”) of this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the applicable Borrowers, each Increasing Lender participating in such tranche, each New Lender participating in such tranche, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Term Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20. Nothing contained in this Section 2.20 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder, or provide Incremental Term Loans, at any time.

Section 2.21 Defaulting Lenders. If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(a);

(b) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.17 shall be applied at such time or times as may be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (but as promptly as

commercially practicable) as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Lenders Letter of Credit Liabilities with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section; fourth, as the Principal Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Principal Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Letter of Credit Liabilities with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to clause (d) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

(c) the Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification permitted to be effected by the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 11.05);

(d) if any Letter of Credit Liabilities exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) the Letter of Credit Liabilities of such Defaulting Lender shall be automatically reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities 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, the Principal Borrower shall within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent either (x) procure the reduction or termination of the Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) or (y) Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Lender only the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i)

above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.03 for so long as such Letter of Credit Liabilities are outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities are Cash Collateralized;

(iv) to the extent that the Letter of Credit Liabilities of the Defaulting Lender are reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above, the letter of credit fees otherwise payable to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(b) in respect of such reallocated Letter of Credit Liabilities shall be payable to the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities is not reallocated, reduced, terminated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lenders or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.07(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Liabilities are reallocated, reduced, terminated and/or Cash Collateralized; and

(e) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lenders shall not be required to issue, extend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities after giving effect thereto will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or prepaid, reduced, terminated and/or Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.21(d), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(d)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Lender Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) an Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its funding obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, extend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Lender shall have entered into arrangements with the Principal Borrower or such Lender, reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Lender to defease any risk to such Issuing Lender in respect of such Lender hereunder relating to Letter of Credit Liabilities.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Principal Borrower and the Issuing Lenders each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Letter of Credit Liabilities 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 is necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage; provided that there shall be no retroactive effect on fees reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21(d)(iv) and (v).

Section 7.07 Credit Decision.

(a) Each Lender represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) in participating as a Lender, it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender in the ordinary course of its business and is making the Loans hereunder as commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, and not for the purpose of investing in the general performance of the Principal Borrower, or for the purposes of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument such as a security (and each Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing, such as a claim under the federal or state securities law), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any Lead Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any Lead Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Principal Borrower and its Affiliates) 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. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender also acknowledges and agrees that (a) none of the Agents or Lead Arrangers acting in such capacities have made any assurances as to (i) whether the credit facility evidenced by this Agreement (the “Facility”) meets such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and sustainability performance, (ii) whether any characteristics of the Facility, including the characteristics of the relevant key performance indicators to which the Parent will link a potential margin step-up or step-down, including their environmental and sustainability criteria, meet any industry standards or market expectations for sustainability-linked credit facilities or (iii) whether the relevant KPI Metrics or thresholds or targets with respect thereto will be attainable or able to be maintained by the Parent and (b) such Lender and such Issuing Lender has performed its own independent investigation and analysis of the Facility and whether the Facility meets its own criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and/or sustainability performance.

(b)

(i) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter (or such later

date as the Administrative Agent, may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 7.07(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent, may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(iii) The Principal Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligation under the Loan Documents owed by the Principal Borrower or any other Loan Party, except in each case, to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Principal Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of satisfying an obligation under the Loan Documents owed by the Principal Borrower or any other Loan Party.

(iv) Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.07(b) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations of the Borrowers under any Loan Document.

Section 7.08 Successor Administrative Agent.

(a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 7.08, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Principal Borrower, whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Principal

Borrower so long as no Event of Default exists under clauses (a), (h) or (i) of Section 6.01, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Principal Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Principal Borrower and such successor. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.03 shall inure to 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Principal Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Lender. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, 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.

Section 7.09 Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Principal Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon between the Principal Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Section 7.10 Other Agents. Nothing in the Loan Documents shall impose on any Agent other than the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as an Agent, any obligation or duty whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.

Section 7.11 Posting of Communications.

(a) The Principal Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent reasonably and in good faith to be its electronic transmission system and used by it for such purpose with respect to its credit facilities generally (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

(b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Principal Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Principal Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution, other than risks arising from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any of the foregoing parties (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment).

(c) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LEAD ARRANGER, ANY DOCUMENTATION AGENT, ANY SYNDICATION AGENT, THE SUSTAINABILITY STRUCTURING AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, OTHER THAN DIRECT ACTUAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, BAD FAITH OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY APPLICABLE PARTY (AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT).

(d) Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s (as

applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

(e) Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Lenders and the Principal Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

(f) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

Section 7.12 Certain ERISA Matters.

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

the Administrative Agent, and the Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents or any of their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Principal Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, or the Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

(c) The Administrative Agent and each Lead Arranger hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent fees or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

Each party hereto hereby agrees that no Agent or any Lead Arranger shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Parent of any Sustainability Fee Adjustment or any Sustainability Margin Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any Pricing Certificate or notice as to a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (and the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate or notice, without further inquiry).

ARTICLE 8.
CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

Section 8.01 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 8.01:

(i) if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent demonstrable error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBO Rate or the EURIBO Rate (including because the Relevant Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for the applicable currency and such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple RFR, Daily Simple RFR or RFR for the applicable Agreed Currency; or

(ii) if the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Adjusted EURIBO Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency and for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for the applicable Agreed Currency will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency,

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice (in reasonable detail) thereof to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable Class prior to the commencement of such Interest Period by telephone, facsimile or e-mail in accordance with Section 11.01 as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the applicable Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable Class that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent hereby agrees to provide promptly after its determination of such circumstances ceasing to exist) with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the applicable Borrower delivers a new Notice of Interest Rate Election in accordance with the terms of Section 2.15 or a new Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars, any Notice of Interest Rate Election that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Notice of Borrowing that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an Notice of Interest Rate Election or a Notice of Borrowing, as applicable, for (x) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for Dollar-denominated Borrowings is not also the subject of Section 8.01(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) a Base Rate Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for Dollar-denominated Borrowings also is the subject of Section 8.01(a)(i) or (ii) above and (B) for Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, any Notice of Interest Rate Election that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Notice of Borrowing that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing or an RFR Borrowing, in each case, for the relevant Benchmark, shall be ineffective; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowing, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the applicable Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 8.01(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until (x) the

Administrative Agent notifies the Principal Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice shall be given by the Administrative Agent promptly after such circumstances cease to exist) with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the applicable Borrower delivers a new Notice of Interest Rate Election in accordance with the terms of Section 2.15 or a new Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars, any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for Dollar-denominated Borrowings is not also the subject of Section 8.01(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) a Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for Dollar-denominated Borrowings also is the subject of Section 8.01(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day and (B) for Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the CBR Margin; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines reasonably and in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent demonstrable error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in such Alternative Currency shall, at the applicable Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by such Borrower on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in such Alternative Currency shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars at such time and (2) any RFR Loan shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the CBR Margin; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines reasonably and in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent demonstrable error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected RFR Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency, at such Borrower’s election, shall either (A) be converted into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such Alternative Currency) immediately or (B) be prepaid in full immediately.

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

(c) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments

implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Principal Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 8.01, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent demonstrable error and may be made in its or their sole reasonable good faith discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 8.01.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Rate or the EURIBO Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service commonly used in the banking industry for such purpose that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion and consistent with such selection generally under other substantially similar syndicated credit facilities for which it acts as administrative agent or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(f) Upon the Principal Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, and until a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with this Section 8.01, the applicable Borrower may revoke any request for (i) a Term Benchmark Borrowing, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued or (ii) an RFR Borrowing or conversion to RFR Loans, during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) such Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing, as applicable, denominated in Dollars into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for Dollar-denominated Borrowings is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) a Base Rate Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for Dollar-denominated Borrowings is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be ineffective. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Principal Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR

Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such Agreed Currency is implemented pursuant to this Section 8.01, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for Dollar-denominated Borrowings is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) a Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for Dollar-denominated Borrowings is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (B) for Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the CBR Margin; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines reasonably and in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent demonstrable error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency shall, at the applicable Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Borrower on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars at such time and (2) any RFR Loan shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the CBR Margin; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines reasonably and in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent demonstrable error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected RFR Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency, at such Borrower’s election, shall either (A) be converted into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such Alternative Currency) immediately or (B) be prepaid in full immediately.

Section 8.02 Illegality. If a Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable, to any Borrower in any currency and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Principal Borrower, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Principal Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which notice such Lender shall give promptly after such circumstances cease to exist), the obligation of such Lender to make Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable, to a Borrower in such currency shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.02, such Lender shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender. If such notice is given, each affected Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, of such Lender then outstanding shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan (in the case of an Alternative Currency Loan, in a principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount thereof on the date of conversion) either (a) with respect to a Term Benchmark Loan (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan as a Term Benchmark Loan to such day or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan as a Term Benchmark Loan to such day or (b) with respect to an RFR Loan (i) on the interest payment date for such RFR Loan pursuant to the terms of Section 2.06(c) applicable to such RFR Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan as an RFR Loan to such day or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan as an RFR Loan to such day.

Section 8.03 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If a Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board, but excluding with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan any such requirement with respect to which such Lender is entitled to compensation during the relevant Interest Period under Section 2.14), special deposit, liquidity, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the London or other applicable offshore interbank market for the Applicable Currency any other condition affecting its Loans (other than with respect to taxes), its Note(s) or its obligation to make Loans or its obligations hereunder in respect of Letters of Credit and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Loan or of issuing or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note(s) with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 30 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Principal Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that a Change in Law (other than with respect to taxes) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender (or its Lender Parent) as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or its Lender Parent) could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 30 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Principal Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or its Lender Parent) for such reduction.

(c) If after the date of this Agreement, a Change in Law shall subject any Lender to any taxes (including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable) (other than Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by a Loan Party hereunder or under any Notes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Principal Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(d) Each Lender will promptly notify the Principal Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, and/or any Change in Law which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 8.03 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and the calculation of such amount or amounts in reasonable detail shall be delivered to the Principal Borrower contemporaneously with any demand for payment hereunder and shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or an Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, as the case may be; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to

compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 8.03 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor and of the amount of such compensation; provided, further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(f) No Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03 unless such Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, certifies in writing to the Principal Borrower that it is making corresponding demands on similarly situated borrowers in comparable credit facilities to which such Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, is a party.

(g) This Section 8.03 (i) shall not entitle any Lender to compensation in respect of any Excluded Taxes, (ii) shall not apply to (A) Taxes for which any Borrower is required to provide indemnification under Section 8.04 or (B) Other Taxes, or (C) Taxes covered by Section 8.04(n), it being understood that such Taxes and Other Taxes shall be governed by Section 8.04, and (iii) shall not relieve any Lender of any obligation pursuant to Section 8.04.

Section 8.04 Taxes.

(a) Except as required by applicable law, any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all fees or charges imposed by any Governmental Authority (including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable), excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise, branch profits or similar taxes, in each case, (x) imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof or (y) that are Other Connection Taxes, (ii) in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise, branch profits or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) any withholding taxes imposed under FATCA, (iv) any deduction or withholding on account of Tax on payments of interest or similar income made or ascribed by a paying agent established in Luxembourg to a Luxembourg resident individual in accordance with the Luxembourg law of December 23, 2005, as amended and (v) any Luxembourg registration duties (droits d'enregistrement) payable in the case of a voluntary registration of any Loan Documents by the Lenders with the Administration de l'Enregistrement, des Domaines et de la TVA in Luxembourg, when such registration is not required to enforce their rights under the Loan Documents (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities (including any interest, additions or tax or penalties applicable) being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”, and all such excluded taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Excluded Taxes”). If a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent (the “Withholding Agent”) shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or Excluded Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) if such deduction or withholding is made with respect to Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.04) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; provided, however, in no event will a payment be increased under this clause (i) by reason of a deduction on account of Taxes imposed by Luxembourg on payments by or on behalf of a Borrower organized or incorporated in Luxembourg, if on the date on which the payment falls due a deduction is required under the Luxembourg

law of 23 December 2005, as amended, (ii) such Withholding Agent shall make such deductions, (iii) such Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) if the Withholding Agent is a Loan Party, such Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties agree to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Loan Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note, except any Luxembourg registration duties (droits d’enregistrement) and/or stamp duties (droits de timbre) payable in the case of voluntary registration, submission or filing of any document with respect to this Agreement or any Note with the Administration de l’Enregistrement, des Domaines et de la TVA in Luxembourg, which shall mean that such registration, submission or filing is (i) not mandatory or (ii) not required to maintain, defend or preserve the rights of a party under any document with respect to this Agreement or any Note (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Loan Parties agree to, jointly and severally, indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.04) paid or payable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, the Loan Parties shall not be obligated to indemnify any party hereunder pursuant to this Section for penalties, interest or similar liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto to the extent such penalties, interest or similar liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct by such party. In addition, the Loan Parties agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all Excluded Taxes and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case to the extent that such Excluded Taxes result from any payment or indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.04(c) for Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States, Ireland or Luxembourg. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor in reasonable detail.

(d) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Principal Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Principal Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation or information reasonably requested by the Principal Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding, or evidence of an entitlement to exemption from or reduction of withholding tax (provided that, a Participant shall also comply with this paragraph as if it were a Lender to the extent such compliance is required by law for reduced withholding or exemption from withholding). In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Principal Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Principal Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or information reasonably requested by the Principal Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as will enable the Principal Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including 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 Sections 8.04(e), (f), (g) and (h) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s 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.

(e) Without limiting the foregoing, at the times indicated herein, each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall provide the Principal Borrower and the Administrative Agent with executed copies of Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY (accompanied by a form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-9 and other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable) or W-8ECI (in each case accompanied by any statements which may be required under applicable Treasury regulations), as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. Such forms shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement (i) without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes or (ii) subject to a reduced rate of United States federal withholding tax, unless, in each case of clause (i) and (ii) of this Section 8.04(e), an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders such forms inapplicable or which would prevent the Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and the Lender advises the Principal Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of such taxes. Such forms shall be provided (x) on or prior to the date of the Lender’s execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof, and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and (y) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by the Lender. If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, United States withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 8.04(a), unless the assignor of such Lender was entitled, at the time of such assignment, to receive additional amounts from a Borrower with respect to such withholding taxes pursuant to Section 8.04(a). In addition, to the extent that for reasons other than a change of treaty, law or regulation any Lender becomes subject to an increased rate of United States interest withholding tax while it is a party to this Agreement, United States withholding tax at such increased rate shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 8.04(a).

(f) Any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Principal Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Principal Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of Internal Revenue Service form W-9 certifying, to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax.

(g) 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Principal Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Principal Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Principal Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Principal Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this Section 8.04(g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement, whether or not included in the definition of FATCA.

(h) Each Lender agrees that if any form, information or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form, information or

certification or promptly notify the Principal Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(i) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Principal Borrower with the appropriate form or information in accordance with Section 8.04 (unless such failure is excused by the terms of this Section 8.04), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.04 with respect to Taxes imposed as a result of such Lender’s failure to provide such form or information; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form or information required hereunder, the Principal Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(j) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes and Excluded Taxes (but only to the extent that the Principal Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and Excluded Taxes and without limiting the obligation, if any, of the Principal Borrower to do so), in each case attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (j). This indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date the Administrative Agent makes demand therefor.

(k) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.04 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under any Loan Document.

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

(m) A payment shall not be increased under Section 8.04(a) above by reason of a deduction or withholding of any Tax imposed by Ireland or Luxembourg from any such payment, where on the date on which the payment falls due the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender or Participant, as the case may be, without any such deduction or withholding if the Lender or Participant, as the case may be, had been a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender or Participant, as the case may be, is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender or Participant, as the case may be, under this Agreement in (or in the interpretations, administration or application of) any law or published practice of published concession of any relevant taxing authority.

(n) An indemnity payment shall not be payable under Section 8.04(c) above with respect to any Tax imposed by Ireland or Luxembourg and assessed on a Lender or Participant, as the case may be, to the extent that Tax:

(i) is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 8.04(a); or

(ii) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 8.04(a) but was not so compensated solely because of the exclusion in Section 8.04(m).

(o) Each Lender, on or prior to the date it becomes a party hereto, shall inform the Principal Borrower and the Administrative Agent whether it is a Qualifying Lender by completing and providing to the Administrative Agent and the Principal Borrower a Qualifying Lender Confirmation. Each Lender party hereto as of the Closing Date hereby confirms to the Principal Borrower that such Lender is a Qualifying Lender, and the Principal Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that no such Lender shall be required to complete or provide such Qualifying Lender Confirmation. Each Lender shall upon reasonable written request from the Principal Borrower or Administrative Agent provide an updated Qualifying Lender Confirmation.

(p) If the Lender fails to provide a Qualifying Lender Confirmation in accordance with Section 8.04(o) above, then that Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by the Principal Borrower) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Principal Borrower which category applies. Each Lender, upon reasonable written request from the Principal Borrower from time to time shall, if applicable, provide such information as may be required to enable the Principal Borrower to comply with Sections 891A, 891E, 891F and 891G TCA (and any regulations made thereunder).

Section 8.05 Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Term Benchmark Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or to, Term Benchmark Loans to any Borrower in any currency has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04 with respect to its Term Benchmark Loans in any currency and the Principal Borrower shall, by at least five Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Principal Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as (or continued as or converted to) Term Benchmark Loans in such currency to such Borrower shall instead be Base Rate Loans (in the case of Alternative Currency Loans, in the same Dollar Amount as the Term Benchmark Loan that such Lender would otherwise have made in the Alternative Currency) on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Term Benchmark Loans of the other Lenders. If such Lender notifies the Principal Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Term Benchmark Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period

applicable to the related Term Benchmark Loans of the other Lenders. If such Loan is converted into an Alternative Currency Loan, such Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make such arrangements as shall be required (including increasing or decreasing the amount of such Alternative Currency Loan) so that such Alternative Currency Loan shall be in the same amount as it would have been if the provisions of this Section had never applied thereto.

Section 8.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation (or provides notice of an intent to request compensation) under Section 8.03, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 8.04, or if any Lender invokes Section 3.03(c), then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04, as the case may be, in the future or with respect to Section 3.03(c) would eliminate the contravention of law or regulation and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Principal Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender or its Participant requests compensation (or provides notice of an intent to request compensation) under Section 8.03, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or its Participant or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender (or its Participant) pursuant to Section 8.04, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or invokes Section 3.03(c) or 8.02, or if any Lender shall reject a requested additional Approved Jurisdiction or a requested additional Alternative Currency or refuse to consent to any waiver, amendment or other modification that would otherwise require such Lender’s consent but to which the Required Lenders have consented, or if the credit (or similar) rating of any Lender (or a Lender Parent thereof) by one or more of S&P, Moody’s, Fitch or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization shall at any time be lower than BBB/Baa2/BBB (or the equivalent), or if, as to any Lender, such Lender or its Lender Parent thereof shall at any time have no credit (or similar) rating in effect by at least one such organization, or if any Lender or its Lender Parent has become the subject of a Bail-In Action (or any case or other proceeding in which a Bail-In Action may occur), or if any Lender that is an Issuing Lender shall (A) resign in its capacity as such, (B) fail to promptly approve the assignment of a Commitment that the Administrative Agent has approved as contemplated by clause (i) of the proviso below or (C) fail to promptly approve a New Lender that the Administrative Agent has approved in the case of an increase in the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.20, or if any Lender is a Disqualified Institution at the time it becomes a Lender or any Lender assigns or participates all or any portion of its Loans and/or Commitments to a Disqualified Institution in violation of Section 12.04, without the written consent of the Principal Borrower, then the Principal Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.06), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Principal Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Lenders), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Principal Borrower or the relevant Borrower (in the case of all other amounts). Each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by

the Principal Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (ii) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if a Lender has become the subject of a Bail-In Action (or any case or other proceeding in which a Bail-In Action may occur) (each, a “Bail-In Lender”), then the Principal Borrower may terminate such Bail-In Lender’s Commitment hereunder, provided that (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Commitment termination, (B) in the case of a Bail-In Lender, the Principal Borrower shall concurrently terminate the Commitment of each other Lender that is a Bail-In Lender at such time, (C) the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders shall have consented to each such Commitment termination (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, but may include consideration of the adequacy of the liquidity of the Principal Borrower and its Subsidiaries) and (D) such Bail-In Lender shall have been paid all amounts then due to it under this Agreement and each other Loan Document (which, for the avoidance of doubt, the respective Borrowers may pay in connection with any such termination without making ratable payments to any other Lender (other than another Lender that has a Commitment that concurrently is being terminated under this Section 8.06(b))).

ARTICLE 9.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ELIGIBLE SUBSIDIARIES

Each Eligible Subsidiary shall be deemed by the execution and delivery of its Election to Participate to have represented and warranted as of the date thereof that:

Section 9.02 Legal and Governmental Authorization; No Contravention. The execution and delivery by it of its Election to Participate and its Notes, and the performance by it of this Agreement and its Notes, are within its legal powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary legal action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority and do not materially contravene, or constitute a material default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of its organizational documents or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon the Principal Borrower or such Eligible Subsidiary or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Parent or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries.

Section 9.03 Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of such Eligible Subsidiary and its Notes, if and when executed and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of such Eligible Subsidiary.

(c) any deduction or withholding for or on account of tax imposed by Luxembourg on payments by or on behalf of a Borrower organized or incorporated in Luxembourg required under the Luxembourg law of 23 December 2005, as amended.

ARTICLE 10.
GUARANTY

Section 10.01 The Guaranty.

(a) The Parent hereby unconditionally guarantees the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of, and interest and fees on, each Loan made to and each Reimbursement Obligation incurred by any Eligible Subsidiary pursuant to this Agreement, and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts payable by any Eligible Subsidiary under this Agreement. Upon failure by any Eligible Subsidiary to pay punctually any such amount, the Parent shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in this Agreement. The guaranty in this Section 10.01(a) does not apply to the extent that it would result in the guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of section 82 of the Companies Act 2014 of Ireland.

Section 10.02 Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Parent hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of any Borrower under this Agreement or any Note, by operation of law or otherwise (except to the extent the foregoing expressly releases the Parent’s obligations under this Article 10);

(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any Note (other than any modification, amendment or supplement of this Article 10 effected in accordance with Section 11.05);

(c) any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any obligation of any Borrower under this Agreement or any Note;

(d) any change in the legal existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Borrower or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Borrower contained in this Agreement or any Note;

(e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Parent may have at any time against any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection

herewith or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Borrower for any reason of this Agreement or any Note, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Borrower of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by it under this Agreement; or

(g) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the Parent’s obligations hereunder (in each case other than payment in full of the obligations guaranteed hereunder).

Section 10.03 Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full; Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances. The Parent’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments shall have terminated and the principal of and interest on the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by any Borrower under this Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, the Parent’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

Section 10.04 Waiver by the Parent. The Parent irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand (except as provided in Section 10.01), protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as, solely for purposes of Article 10, any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Borrower or any other Person. The Parent’s guaranty hereunder is a guaranty of payment and not merely of collection.

Section 10.05 Subrogation. Upon making any payment with respect to any Borrower hereunder, the Parent shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against such Borrower with respect to such payment; provided that the Parent shall not enforce any payment by way of subrogation unless all principal and interest on the Loans to such Borrower and all other amounts payable by such Borrower under this Agreement have been paid in full in cash.

Section 10.06 Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Borrower under this Agreement or its Notes is stayed upon insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Parent hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders.

Section 10.07 Continuing Guaranty. The Parent’s guaranty hereunder is a continuing guaranty, shall be binding on the Parent and its successors and assigns, and shall be enforceable by the Lenders. If all or part of any Lender’s interest in any obligation guaranteed by the Parent is assigned or otherwise transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferor’s rights under the Parent’s guaranty, to the extent applicable to the obligation so transferred, shall automatically be transferred with such obligation.

ARTICLE 11.

Notices delivered through Approved Electronic Platforms, to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b).

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Approved Electronic Platforms pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Principal Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes in writing upon reasonable advance notice, (i) notices and other communications sent to an email address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return email or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its email address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

(e) The Principal Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints JCI as its authorized agent to accept and acknowledge on its behalf, service of any and all process which may be served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and hereby consents to process being served upon JCI in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Principal Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all claim of error by reason of any such service and agrees that such service shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid and

personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Nothing in this provision shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or limit the right of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to bring proceedings against the Principal Borrower in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions. Such designation and appointment shall be irrevocable until all obligations under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions hereof. If such agent shall cease so to act, the Principal Borrower covenants and agrees to designate irrevocably and appoint without delay another such agent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent evidence in writing of such other agent’s acceptance of such appointment.

Section 11.02 No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 11.03 Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) The Principal Borrower shall reimburse (i) all reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and each Lead Arranger (including due diligence expenses, syndication expenses, travel expenses and reasonable, documented and invoiced fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers (and if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, of one additional counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, one additional local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction)) incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and any related documentation or the administration, amendment, modification or waiver hereof or thereof and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, including the fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel (and if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, of one additional counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, one additional local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

(b) The Principal Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, each Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, each Lead Arranger and each of their respective affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including Environmental Liabilities) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents, the use of the proceeds of Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder or any related transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation, arbitration or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto and regardless of whether brought by a third party or by the Parent or any of its affiliates (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”), and to reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand for any reasonable and documented legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing; provided that (i) the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of its Related Persons, (B) to the extent resulting from any Proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Parent and its Consolidated Subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Person solely against another Indemnified Person, other than claims against any Lender or Lead Arranger or the Administrative Agent in its capacity in fulfilling its role as an agent or

arranger under the Loan Documents, in each case as found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (C) to the extent resulting from a material breach by such Indemnified Person or any Related Person thereof (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) of its obligations under the Loan Documents as found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes hereof, a “Related Person” of an Indemnified Person means (a) any controlling person, controlled affiliate or subsidiary of such Indemnified Person, (b) the respective directors, officers or employees of such Indemnified Person or any of its subsidiaries, controlled affiliates or controlling persons and (c) the respective agents and advisors of such Indemnified Person or any of its subsidiaries, controlled affiliates or controlling persons; provided, that each reference to a controlled affiliate, controlling person, director, officer or employee in this sentence pertains to a controlled affiliate, controlling person, director, officer or employee involved in the negotiation of the Loan Documents. The Principal Borrower shall not be liable to the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Lead Arrangers or any Indemnified Person for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Loan Documents; provided that this sentence shall not limit the Principal Borrower’s indemnification obligations as set forth in this paragraph.

(c) None of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Lead Arranger, and any Lender, and any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a “Lender-Related Person”) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems (other than for direct or actual damages to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender-Related Person), it being understood that the use of electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems will not itself constitute bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Lender-Related Person shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Loan Documents.

(d) Each Lender severally agrees to pay any amount required to be paid by the Principal Borrower under paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 11.03 to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Sustainability Structuring Agent, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an “Agent-Related Person”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Principal Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Principal Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Applicable Percentage in effect on the date on which such payment is sought under this Section (or, if such payment is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Applicable Percentage immediately prior to such date), and agrees to indemnify and hold each Agent-Related Person harmless from and against any and all Liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent-Related Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that the unreimbursed expense or Liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person in its capacity as such; provided further that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such Liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent-Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 11.04 Sharing of Set-offs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities held by such other Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities held by the other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities held by the Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section 11.04 shall impair the right of any Lender or its affiliates to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of a Borrower other than its indebtedness hereunder. Each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 11.05 Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Principal Borrower and the Required Lenders (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender are affected thereby, by it); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall:

(a) (i) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (provided that an amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant, mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.16(c), Event of Default or Default shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Lender), (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or the amount to be reimbursed in respect of any Letter of Credit or any interest thereon (other than with respect to the default rate of interest included in the determination of the applicable interest rate under Section 2.06(a), 2.06(c), 2.06(d) or 2.19(f)) or any fees hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or for reimbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit or interest thereon or any fees hereunder or for termination of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (other than any reduction of the amount of, or any extension of the payment date for, the mandatory prepayments required under Section 2.16(c), in each case which shall only require the approval of the Required Lenders, and it being understood that an amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant, mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.16(c), Event of Default or Default shall not constitute a postponement of the scheduled date of expiration of the Commitment of any Lender), (iv) release the Parent from any obligation under Article 10, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change Section 2.08(a) or Section 11.04 in a manner that would alter the ratable reduction of Commitments or pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or change any provision requiring that funding of amounts by the Lenders be on a ratable basis, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (vi) change the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder without the written consent of each Lender (it being understood that, solely with the consent of the parties prescribed by Section 2.20 to be parties to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment, Incremental Term Loans may be included in the determination of Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments and the Loans are included on the Closing Date), (vii) change any of the provisions of Section 2.21 without the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders or (viii) change the payment waterfall provisions of Section 2.21(b) without the written consent of each Lender; provided that no consent of any

Defaulting Lender shall be required pursuant to clause (v) or (vi) above as to any modification that does not adversely affect such Defaulting Lender in a non-ratable manner;

(b) unless signed by all the Lenders, change the provisions of this Section 11.05; or

(c) unless signed by an Eligible Subsidiary, (i) subject such Eligible Subsidiary to any additional obligation, (ii) increase the principal of or rate of interest on any outstanding Loan of such Eligible Subsidiary or (iii) accelerate the stated maturity of any outstanding Loan of such Eligible Subsidiary.

It is understood that the operation of Sections 2.01(c), 2.20 and 8.01(b) and (c) and the Pricing Schedule in accordance with their terms is not an amendment subject to this Section 11.05.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, as to any amendment, amendment and restatement or other modifications otherwise approved in accordance with this Section, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent or approval of any Lender that, upon giving effect to such amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification, would have no Commitment or outstanding Loans so long as such Lender receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by, and all other amounts owing to, such Lender or accrued for the account of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at the time such amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification becomes effective.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Principal Borrower and the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of any Lender or Issuing Lender) to the extent necessary (x) to integrate any increased Commitments in a manner consistent with Section 2.20 and (y) to cure any ambiguity, omission, error, defect or inconsistency.

Section 11.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Lenders.

(b) Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment and/or any or all of its Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to any Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrowers, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and/or obligations hereunder. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision hereof; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (a) of Section 11.05 without the consent of the Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement and subject to Section 11.06(e) below, be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 and Article 8 with respect to its participating interest. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection 11.06(c), 11.06(d) or 11.06(f) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection 11.06(b). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this

purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, 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 to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) 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) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version) or, if different, under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable 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. Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section shall obtain a Qualifying Lender Confirmation completed and signed by or on behalf of the Participant and shall obtain such information required under Section 891A TCA; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, such confirmation or information shall be shared with Borrowers only to the extent required by law for reduced withholding or exemption from withholding.

(c) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) (each an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part (equivalent to an initial Commitment of not less than $10,000,000) of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto executed by such Assignee and such transferor Lender, with (and subject to) the consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender (provided that no consent of any Issuing Lender shall be required if (x) an Event of Default occurs with respect to the Parent under Section 6.01(h) or 6.01(i) and (y) such Issuing Lender has no outstanding Letters of Credit at that time) and the Principal Borrower, such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that (i) no consent of the Principal Borrower shall be required for (1) an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate (it being understood that the Principal Borrower shall nevertheless receive prompt notice, either prior to or promptly after such assignment, of any such assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate) (provided further, notwithstanding the preceding clause (1), so long as no Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Principal Borrower shall be required if, after giving effect to such assignment, the assignee, collectively with its affiliated Lenders and affiliated Lender Affiliates, would, as a result of such assignment, hold more than fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate amounts of Loans and unused Commitments), or (2) an assignment to any assignee if an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the Principal Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 15 Business Days after having received notice thereof. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are issued to the Assignee. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of

the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrative error, and the Borrowers, 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank (or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender). No such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Lender’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or 8.04 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Principal Borrower’s prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 requiring such Lender to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.06, but subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this subsection (f), any Lender may from time to time, elect to designate a Conduit to provide all or any part of any Loan required to be made by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement or to acquire a participation interest in any Loans extended by such Lender hereunder (a “Conduit Designation”), provided the designation of a Conduit by any Lender for purposes of this Section 11.06(f) shall be subject to the approval of the Principal Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. No additional Note shall be required with regard to a Conduit Designation; provided, however, to the extent any Conduit shall advance funds under a Conduit Designation, the designating Lender shall be deemed to hold the Note in its possession as an administrative agent for such Conduit to the extent of the Loan funded by such Conduit. Notwithstanding any such Conduit Designation, (x) the designating Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for its obligations under this Agreement and (y) the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with the designating Lender as Administrative Agent for such designating Lender’s Conduit, in connection with all of such Conduit’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, unless and until the Principal Borrower and the Administrative Agent are notified that the designating Lender has been replaced as Administrative Agent for its Conduit; any payments for the benefit of any designating Lender and its Conduit shall be paid to such designating Lender for itself as Administrative Agent for its Conduit, as applicable; provided neither the Administrative Agent nor any Borrower shall be responsible for any designating Lender’s application of any such payments. In addition, any Conduit may (i) with notice to, but without the consent of the Principal Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or portions of its interest in any Loans to the Lender that designated such Conduit or to any financial institutions consented to by the Principal Borrower and the Administrative Agent providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such Conduit to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any guarantee, surety, credit or liquidity enhancement to such Conduit.

(g) Each party to this Agreement hereby agrees that, at any time a Conduit Designation is in effect, it shall not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, any Conduit any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and a day after the latest maturing commercial

paper note issued by such Conduit is paid. This Section 11.06(g) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(h) Disqualified Institutions.

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

(ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Principal Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Principal Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 11.06), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions to whom an assignment or participation is made in violation of clause (i) above (A) will not have the right to (x) receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Principal Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders (or any of them) and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization, each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such plan of reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such plan of reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other applicable laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan of reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other applicable laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

100

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Principal Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Principal Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on an Approved Electronic Platform, including that portion of such Approved Electronic Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender or potential Lender requesting the same.

(v) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, by any other Person to any Disqualified Institution.

Section 11.07 Collateral. Each of the Lenders represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

Section 11.08 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each other Loan Document and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, notwithstanding the governing law provisions of any applicable Loan Document, any claims brought against the Administrative Agent by any Lender relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the consummation or administration of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity) shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby submits, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan (or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment arising out of or relating to any Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, and whether in contract, tort or otherwise and whether at law or in equity, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Federal (to the extent permitted by law) or New York State court. Each Loan Party and each Lender irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 11.09 Counterparts; Integration; Severability. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letters constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Except as provided in Section 3.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the

102

solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Principal Borrower and/or any other Loan Party to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature, other than any Liabilities (x) found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Lender-Related Person or (y) to the extent resulting from a material breach by any Lender-Related Person thereof (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) of its obligations under this Section 11.09 as found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 11.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE LOAN PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE AND WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY).

Section 11.11 Confidentiality.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors on a need-to-know basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and will agree to keep such Information confidential to the same extent as if they were parties hereto and the disclosing Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender shall be responsible for any breaches of the provisions of this Section 11.11(a)), (ii) to the extent requested by any central bank or the Federal Reserve or by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over it or in connection with any pledge or assignment permitted under Section 11.06(d), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (it being understood that the DQ List may be disclosed to any assignee or Participant, or prospective assignee or Participant, in reliance on and subject to the terms of this clause (vi)(A)) or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to a Borrower and its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) with the prior written consent of the Principal Borrower, (viii) to the extent requested by ratings agencies or (ix) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Principal Borrower, its Affiliates, legal counsel or other advisors. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of the Principal Borrower or any of its Affiliates relating to the Principal Borrower or its business or any of its Affiliates or their respective businesses (including, without limitation, Sustainability-Related Information), other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by or on behalf of the Principal Borrower and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry, after the Principal Borrower has publicly disclosed this Agreement in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (it being understood and agreed that the Principal Borrower shall so disclose this Agreement in such a filing as and when required by

103

applicable law). 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.

(b) The parties hereby agree that, from the commencement of discussions with respect to the Transactions, each party (and each employee, representative or other agent of such party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure (as such terms are used in Sections 6011, 6111 and 6112 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Transactions and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

Section 11.12 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) and the requirements of the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Loan Party shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent (including any such request on behalf of any Lender), provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent (or such Lender) reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

Section 11.13 Termination of Existing Agreement. Lenders which are parties to the Existing Agreement (and which constitute “Required Lenders” under and as defined in the Existing Agreement) hereby waive any advance notice requirement for terminating the commitments under the Existing Agreement, and the Principal Borrower and the applicable Lenders agree that the Existing Agreement and the “Commitments” thereunder shall be terminated on the Closing Date (except for any provisions thereof which by their terms survive termination thereof).

Section 11.14 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by

104

it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

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

To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, each Lender shall notify the Principal Borrower and the Administrative Agent if it has become the subject of a Bail-In Action (or any case or other proceeding in which a Bail-In Action may occur), it being understood and agreed that a public statement made by such Lender (or the relevant banking regulator of such Lender) about any such Bail-In Action (or any such case or other proceeding) shall constitute notice for this purpose.

Section 11.15 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

(a) Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to such Loan Party with respect to the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated herein and therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, such Loan Party or any other person. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising such Loan Party as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction (including without limitation the potential application of the “contingent payment debt instrument” tax rules) in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the credit facilities evidenced hereby. Each Loan Party shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Loan Documents, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to any Loan Party with respect thereto.

(b) Each Loan Party further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with its Affiliates, in addition to providing or participating in commercial lending facilities such as that provided hereunder, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, such Loan Party, its Subsidiaries and other companies with which such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

(c) In addition, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and

106

otherwise. No Credit Party will use Information obtained from the Loan Party by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with the Loan Party in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such Information to other companies. Each Loan Party also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, confidential information obtained from other companies.

(d) For purposes of this Section 11.15, the term “Credit Party” shall be deemed to include, and shall include, the Sustainability Structuring Agent.

Section 11.16 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

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

Section 11.17 Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated under Article 6, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding deposits held in a trustee, fiduciary, agency or similar capacity or otherwise for the benefit of a third party) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees to notify the Principal 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.

107

Section 11.18 Termination of the Commitments under the Existing Agreement. Each of the signatories hereto that is also a party to the Existing Agreement hereby agrees that, on and as of the Closing Date, all of the “Commitments” (as defined in the Existing Agreement) will be terminated and cancelled automatically and any and all required notice periods in connection with such termination are hereby waived and of no further force and effect.

PRICING SCHEDULE

Each of “Facility Fee Rate”, “Term Benchmark Margin”, “RFR Margin” and “Base Rate Margin” means, for any day, the rate set forth below, in basis points per annum, in the row opposite such term and in the column corresponding to the Pricing Level that applies for such day:

“Level III” status exists at any date if, at such date, (i) neither Level I status nor Level II status exists and (ii) the Credit Rating is BBB+ or higher by S&P or Baa1 or higher by Moody’s or BBB+ or higher by Fitch.

If the Principal Borrower is split-rated and the ratings differential between the highest rating and the next highest rating is one notch, the highest of the ratings will apply. If the Principal Borrower is split-rated and the ratings differential between the highest rating and the next highest rating is more than one notch, a rating that is one notch lower than the highest of the ratings shall be used. In the event that the Principal Borrower does not have a Credit Rating by any two of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch, then Level V shall apply.

It is hereby understood and agreed that (i) the Facility Fee Rate shall be adjusted from time to time based upon the Sustainability Fee Adjustment and (ii) each of the Term Benchmark Margin, the RFR Margin and the Base Rate Margin (collectively the “Applicable Margins”) shall be adjusted from time to time based upon the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, in each case as calculated and applied as set forth in this Agreement (including this Pricing Schedule); provided that in no event shall any of the Facility Fee Rate or any Applicable Margin be less than zero (0.0) basis points per annum.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, until the delivery of (or failure to deliver) the Pricing Certificate delivered in respect of the Reference Year ending September 30, 2024 pursuant to Section 5.01(g), (i) the Sustainability Fee Adjustment shall be 0.0 bps and there shall be no Sustainability Fee Adjustment to the Facility Fee Rate and (ii) the Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be 0.0 bps and there shall be no Sustainability Margin Adjustment to the Applicable Margins.

Effective as of the fifth Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Pricing Certificate delivered pursuant to 5.01(g) (such day, the “Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date”) in respect of the most recently ended Reference Year, commencing with the Reference Year ending September 30, 2024 and ending with the Reference Year ending September 30, 2027, (i) the Applicable Margins shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment as set forth in such Pricing Certificate, and (ii) the Facility Fee Rate shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Fee Adjustment as set forth in such Pricing Certificate. Each change in the Applicable Margins and the Facility Fee Rate resulting from a Pricing Certificate shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the applicable Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next such Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date. It is hereby understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date occurring in 2028 as a result of the delivery of the Pricing Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(g) (or the non-delivery of such Pricing Certificate or such Pricing Certificate being incomplete as set forth in the second succeeding paragraph) in respect of the Reference Year ending September 30, 2027 shall be the last Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date under this Agreement, and the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment (in each case, whether a negative adjustment, a zero bps adjustment or a positive adjustment, including, for the avoidance of doubt due to the application of the provisions of the second succeeding paragraph) that take effect on such Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date shall remain in effect until the one year anniversary of such Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and shall cease to apply after such anniversary date, and no further Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date shall occur, and no further Sustainability Margin Adjustment or Sustainability Fee Adjustment shall apply or be in effect, after such anniversary date.

For the avoidance of doubt, only one Pricing Certificate may be delivered in respect of any Reference Year and any adjustment to the Applicable Margins or the Facility Fee Rate by reference to any of the KPI Metrics in any year shall not be cumulative year-over-year. Each applicable adjustment shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is to occur. It is further understood and agreed that the Applicable Margin will never be reduced or increased by more than 4.25 bps and that the Facility Fee Rate will never be reduced or increased by more than 0.75 bps, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment, respectively, during any Reference Year; provided that, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including any provision of Section 11.05 requiring the consent of “each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), the definitions of the KPI Metrics and the definitions that are used to calculate the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment and the Sustainability Table may be amended or otherwise modified with the consent of the Parent, the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Required Lenders; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, any changes to the Applicable Margin pursuant to any Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Facility Fee Rate pursuant to the Sustainability Fee Adjustment in excess of the amounts set forth above shall be subject to the consent of “each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby” in accordance with Section 11.05.

In the event the Parent does not deliver a Pricing Certificate within the period set forth in 5.01(g) or any Pricing Certificate shall be incomplete and fail to satisfy the requirements set forth in the definition of “Pricing Certificate” (including the failure to set forth the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment and calculations in reasonable detail of the KPI Metrics, in each case, for the applicable Reference Year), the Sustainability Margin Adjustment will be positive 4.25 bps and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment will be positive 0.75 bps commencing on the fifth Business Day following the last day such Pricing Certificate should have been delivered pursuant to the terms of Section 5.01(g) and continuing until the fifth Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a complete Pricing Certificate for such Reference Year.

If (i)(A) the Administrative Agent becomes aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics as reported in any Pricing Certificate (any such material inaccuracy, a “Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy”) and the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent thereof, or (B) any Lender becomes aware of any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and such Lender delivers a written notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy in reasonable detail (which description the Administrative Agent shall promptly share with the Parent), or (C) the Parent becomes aware of a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and delivers notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, and (ii) a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics would have resulted in no adjustment or an increase in the Applicable Margins or Facility Fee Rate for any applicable period, (x) commencing on the fifth Business Day following delivery of a corrected Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent, the Applicable Margins and Facility Fee Rate shall be adjusted to reflect such corrected calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment and (y) the Parent shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the applicable Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender), but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the Parent has received written notice of, or has determined that there was, a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, an amount equal to the excess of (1) the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over (2) the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. It is understood and agreed that any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default or otherwise result in the failure of any condition precedent to any Borrowing or the issuance, extension or increase of any Letter of Credit; provided, that, the Parent complies

with the terms of this paragraph with respect to such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, (x) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to this paragraph shall not be due and payable until the earlier to occur of (I) a written demand is made for such payment by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this paragraph or (II) ten (10) Business Days after the Parent has received written notice of, or has determined that there was, a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (such earlier date, the “Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date”), (y) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to the Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default or otherwise result in the failure of any condition precedent to any Borrowing or the issuance, extension or increase of any Letter of Credit (whether retroactively or otherwise) and (z) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to the Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date or shall accrue interest at the default rate pursuant to Section 2.06(d) prior to the Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date.

If, after the date hereof, there occurs any Sustainability Recalculation Event, and either (i) the Parent notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that the Parent requests an amendment to any provision on this Agreement to eliminate, accommodate or otherwise take into account the effect of such Sustainability Recalculation Event, or (ii) the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision or provisions of this Agreement for such purpose (it being understood and agreed that any such notice may be given before or after such Sustainability Recalculation Event has occurred), then (A) the Parent, the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent shall negotiate in good faith to amend the provisions hereof to eliminate, accommodate or otherwise take into account the effect of such Sustainability Recalculation Event for the period from and after the occurrence of such Sustainability Recalculation Event, and (B) the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted on the basis of the provisions in effect and applied immediately prior to such Sustainability Recalculation Event for a period of not more than 60 days (unless the provisions hereof shall have been amended in accordance herewith or such notice shall have been withdrawn). If, after 60 days following any such notice, the consent of the Parent, the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the requisite Lenders under Section 11.05 has not been obtained, there will cease to be any Sustainability Margin Adjustment and any Sustainability Fee Adjustment until such time as the parties hereto can agree upon any such adjustments in accordance with the terms hereof, and (ii) for the period thereafter, (A) any pricing adjustment pursuant to clause (i) shall cease and (B) no party to this Agreement shall, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Parent, make any public or private representations or description of the credit facility described in this Agreement as a sustainability-linked loan. For purposes of this paragraph, “Sustainability Recalculation Event” means (i) any acquisition, disposition, merger or similar transaction or series of related transactions consummated by the Parent and its Subsidiaries whereby, as a result of the consummation of such transaction or series of related transactions, any of the baselines of the KPI Metrics would reasonably be expected to be (as determined in good faith by the Parent), or shall be, increased or decreased by 5% or more (on a consolidated basis) as compared to the KPI Metrics in effect immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction or (ii) any Change in Law applicable to any party hereto the result of which shall (A) prohibit or materially modify any sustainability calculation hereunder or cause any other violation of any sustainability provision hereunder, or impose or materially modify any reporting obligation in respect thereof, (B) cause the Parent to fail to attain or maintain any KPI Metric or target or threshold with respect thereto or (C) prohibit or otherwise directly limit such party’s ability to make or maintain the Loans hereunder after applying the sustainability provisions hereunder.

WHEREAS, this Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) relates to the Credit Agreement dated as of December 11, 2023 among the Principal Borrower, the Eligible Subsidiaries referred to therein, the Assignor and the other Lenders thereto, as Lenders, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Letters of Credit with a total Dollar Amount available for drawing thereunder of $________ are outstanding at the date hereof; and

WHEREAS, the Assignor proposes to assign to the Assignee all of the rights of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement in respect of a portion of its Commitment thereunder in an amount equal to $________ (the “Assigned Loan Amount”), together with a corresponding portion of its outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities, and the Assignee proposes to accept assignment of such rights and assume the corresponding obligations from the Assignor on such terms;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 2. Assignment. The Assignor hereby assigns and sells to the Assignee all of the rights of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement to the extent of the Assigned Loan Amount, and the Assignee hereby accepts such assignment from the Assignor and assumes all of the obligations of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement to the extent of the Assigned Loan Amount, including the purchase from the Assignor of the corresponding portion of the principal amount of the Loans made by, and Letter of Credit Liabilities of, the Assignor outstanding at the date hereof. Upon the execution and delivery hereof by the Assignor, the Assignee and the Principal Borrower and the payment of the amounts specified in Section 3 required to be paid on the date hereof (i) the Assignee shall, as of the date hereof, succeed to the rights and be obligated to perform the obligations of a Lender under the Credit Agreement with a Commitment in an amount equal to the Assigned Loan Amount, and (ii) the Commitment of the Assignor shall, as of the date hereof, be reduced by a like amount and the Assignor released from its obligations under the Credit Agreement to the extent such obligations have been assumed by the Assignee.

SECTION 4. Consent of the Principal Borrower. This Agreement is conditioned upon the consent of [the Principal Borrower,] the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 11.06(c) of the Credit Agreement. The execution of this Agreement by them is evidence of this consent. In accordance with Section 2.04 and Section 11.06(c), the Principal Borrower, if requested by the Assignee, shall execute and deliver a Note, and shall cause each Eligible Subsidiary to execute and deliver a Note, payable to the Assignee to evidence the assignment and assumption provided for herein.
