represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) publicly announced
that: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of all seven euro LIBOR settings, all seven Swiss Franc LIBOR settings, the spot next, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings, the overnight, 1-week, 2-month and
12-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings, and the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings
will permanently cease; immediately after December 31, 2021, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings and the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to

restored; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month,3- month and 6-month U.S. Dollar
LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCAs consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that
representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or
characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are
currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in

discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, Section 2.14(b) and
(c) provides thea mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company,
pursuant to Section 2.14(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept

Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to
Section 2.14(d)),, including without
limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Fixed Baseexisting

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

Subject to the execution by the Company, the Administrative Agent and such Bank of a duly completed Extension Agreement, the Commitment Termination Date applicable to the Commitment of each Bank so affirmatively notifying the Company and the Administrative Agent shall be extended for the period specified above; provided that (x) no Commitment Termination Date of any Bank shall be extended unless Banks having more than 50% in aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect at the time any such extension is requested shall have elected so to extend their Commitments, (y) on the date of any such extension of the Commitment Termination Date, each of the representations and warranties made by the Company herein shall be true and correct in all material respects, on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date (provided that any such representation and warranty that is qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall be true and correct in all respects as of such date), except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (provided that any such representation and warranty that is qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall be true and correct in all respects as of such earlier date) and (z) no Commitment Termination Date of any Bank shall be extended if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Any Bank which does not give such notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have elected not to extend as requested, and the Commitment of each non-extending Bank (and the obligations of any Issuing Lender that does not agree to extend in its capacity as an Issuing Lender) shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date determined without giving effect to such requested extension. The Company, at its discretion, will have the right at any time pursuant to Section 2.01(c) to seek a substitute bank or banks for any Bank which does not elect to extend its Commitment. Following any such extension, the L/C Obligations shall continue to be held ratably among the Banks, but on the Commitment Termination Date as applicable to any non-extending Bank, the L/C Obligations of such non-extending Bank shall be ratably reallocated, to the extent of the Available Revolving Commitments of the extending Banks to the extending Banks and the Company shall cash collateralize, on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender, the balance of such L/C Obligations.
38
(c) In connection with any request pursuant to Section 2.01(b) (an Extension Request) if the consent of a Bank is not obtained (any Bank whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a Non-Consenting Bank), at the Companys request, any assignee that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and that is not a Non-Consenting Bank) shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to purchase from such Non-Consenting Bank, and such Non-Consenting Bank agrees that it shall, upon the Companys request, sell and assign to such assignee, at no expense to such Non-Consenting Bank (including with respect to any processing and recordation fees that may be applicable pursuant to Section 11.05(b), which shall be paid by the assignee or the Company), all of such Non-Consenting Banks right, title and interest under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans (and unreimbursed L/C Obligations) held by such Non-Consenting Bank and all accrued interest, fees and other amounts with respect thereto through the date of sale (including amounts under Section 4 and Section 5), such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment and Assumption in accordance with Section 11.05 (which Assignment and Assumption need not be signed by such Non-Consenting Bank).
2.02 Borrowings of Syndicated Loans. The Company shall give the Administrative Agent notice of each borrowing hereunder as provided in Section 4.05 hereof. Not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time on the date specified for each borrowing of Syndicated Loans hereunder, each Bank shall make available the amount of the Syndicated Loan or Loans to be made by it on such date to the Administrative Agent, at an account in New York designated by the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, for account of the Company. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Company by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of the Company designated by the Company.
2.03 Money Market Loans.
(a) Types of Money Market Loans. In addition to borrowings of Syndicated Loans, at any time prior to the Commitment Termination Date the
Company may, as set forth in this Section 2.03, request the Banks to make offers to make Money Market Loans to the Company in Dollars. The Banks may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the Company may, but shall have no
obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section 2.03. Money Market Loans may be LIBORSOFR Market Loans or Set Rate Loans (each a Type of Money
Market Loan), provided that:
(i) there may be no more than fifteen different Interest Periods for both Syndicated Loans and Money Market Loans outstanding at the same time (for which purpose Interest Periods described in different lettered clauses of the definition of the term Interest Period shall be deemed to be different Interest Periods even if they are coterminous); and
(ii) at any one time, the aggregate principal amount of all Money Market Loans then outstanding, together with sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of all Syndicated Loans then outstanding and (y) the L/C Obligations then outstanding shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments at such time.
39
(b) Requests by Company. When the Company wishes to request offers to make Money
Market Loans, the Company shall give the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks) notice (a Money Market Quote Request) so as to be received no later than 11:00 a.m. New York time on (x) the fourth U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to the date of borrowing
proposed therein, in the case of a
LIBORSOFR Auction or (y) the Business Day
next preceding the date of borrowing proposed therein, in the case of a Set Rate Auction (or, in any such case, such other time and date as the Company and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Majority Banks, may agree). Offers to make
Money Market Loans may be requested for up to six different Interest Periods in a single notice (for which purpose Interest Periods in different lettered clauses of the definition of the term Interest Period shall be deemed to be
different Interest Periods even if they are coterminous); provided that the request for each separate Interest Period shall be deemed to be a separate Money Market Quote Request for a separate borrowing (a Money Market
Borrowing). Each such notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and shall specify as to each Money Market Borrowing:
(i) the proposed date of such borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(ii) the aggregate amount of such Money Market Borrowing, which shall be at least $20,000,000 (or a larger multiple of $1,000,000) but shall not cause the limits specified in Section 2.03(a) hereof to be violated;
(iii) the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto;
(iv) whether the Money Market Quotes requested for a particular Interest Period
are seeking quotes for
LIBORSOFR Market Loans or Set Rate Loans; and
(v) if the Money Market Quotes requested are seeking quotes for Set Rate Loans, the date on which the Money Market Quotes are to be submitted if it is before the proposed date of borrowing (the date on which such Money Market Quotes are to be submitted is called the Quotation Date).
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.03(b), no Money Market Quote Request shall be given within five Business Days (or such lesser number of days as the Administrative Agent may agree) of any other Money Market Quote Request.
(c) Quotes by Banks. Each Bank may, but is not
obligated to, submit one or more Money Market Quotes, each constituting an offer to make a Money Market Loan in response to any Money Market Quote Request; provided that, if the Companys request under Section 2.03(b) hereof
specified more than one Interest Period, such Bank may make a single submission containing one or more Money Market Quotes for each such Interest Period. Each Money Market Quote must be submitted to the Administrative Agent not later than
(x) 2:00 p.m. New York time on the fourth U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBORSOFR Auction or (y) 10:00 a.m. New York time on the Quotation Date,
in the case of a Set Rate Auction (or, in any such case, such other time and date as the Company and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Majority Banks, may agree); provided that any Money Market Quote may be submitted by
JPMorgan (or its
40
Applicable Lending Office) only if JPMorgan (or such Applicable Lending Office) notifies the Company of the terms of the offer contained therein not later than (x) 1:00 p.m. New York time on
the fourth Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBORSOFR Auction or (y) 9:45 a.m. New York time on the Quotation Date,
in the case of a Set Rate Auction. Subject to Sections 2.14, 5.03, 6.02 and 9 hereof, any Money Market Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the consent of the Administrative Agent given on the instructions of the Company. Each Money Market
Quote shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto and shall specify:
(i) the proposed date of borrowing and the Interest Period therefor;
(ii) the principal amount of the Money Market Loan for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount shall be at least $5,000,000 (or a larger multiple of $1,000,000); provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Money Market Loans for which a Bank submits Money Market Quotes (x) may be greater or less than the Commitment of such Bank but (y) may not exceed the principal amount of the Money Market Borrowing for a particular Interest Period for which offers were requested;
(iii) in the case of a LIBORSOFR Auction, the margin above or below the applicable LIBOAdjusted Term
SOFR Rate (the LIBOSOFR Margin) offered for each such Money Market Loan,
expressed as a percentage (rounded to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) to be added to or subtracted from
the applicable
LIBOAdjusted Term SOFR Rate;
(iv) in the case of a Set Rate Auction, the rate of interest per annum (rounded to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) offered for each such Money Market Loan (the Set
Rate); and
(v) the identity of the quoting Bank.
Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Company, no Money Market Quote shall contain qualifying, conditional or similar language or propose terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Money Market Quote Request and, in particular, no Money Market Quote may be conditioned upon acceptance by the Company of all (or some specified minimum) of the principal amount of the Money Market Loan for which such Money Market Quote is being made, provided that the submission by any Bank containing more than one Money Market Quote may be conditioned on the Company not accepting offers contained in such submission that would result in such Bank making Money Market Loans pursuant thereto in excess of a specified amount (the Money Market Loan Limit).
(d) Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall (x) in the case of a Set Rate Auction, as promptly as
practicable after the Money Market Quote is submitted (but in any event not later than 10:15 a.m. New York time on the Quotation Date) or (y) in the case of a
LIBORSOFR Auction, by 4:00 p.m. New York time on
the day a Money Market Quote is submitted, notify the Company of the terms (i) of any Money Market Quote submitted by a Bank that is in accordance with Section 2.03(c) hereof and (ii) of any Money Market Quote that amends, modifies or
is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Money Market Quote submitted by such Bank with respect to the same Money Market Quote Request. Any
41
such subsequent Money Market Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Money Market Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Money
Market Quote. The Administrative Agents notice to the Company shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Money Market Borrowing for which offers have been received and (B) the respective principal amounts and LIBOSOFR Margins or Set Rates, as the case may be, so offered by each Bank (identifying the Bank that made each Money Market Quote).
(e) Acceptance by Company. Not later than 11:00 a.m. New York time on (x) the third U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to the proposed date of
borrowing, in the case of a
LIBORSOFR Auction or (y) the Quotation Date,
in the case of a Set Rate Auction (or, in any such case, such other time and date as the Company and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Majority Banks, may agree), the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or
nonacceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.03(d) hereof (which notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers from each Bank for each Interest Period that are accepted, it being understood that the
failure of the Company to give such notice by such time shall constitute nonacceptance) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Bank. The notice from the Administrative Agent shall also specify the aggregate principal amount
of offers for each Interest Period that were accepted and the lowest and highest LIBOSOFR Margins and Set Rates that were accepted for each Interest Period.
The Company may accept any Money Market Quote in whole or in part (provided that any Money Market Quote accepted in part shall be at least $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000); provided that:
(i) the aggregate principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Money Market Quote Request;
(ii) the aggregate principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing shall be at least $20,000,000 (or a larger multiple of $1,000,000) but shall not cause the limits specified in Section 2.03(a) hereof to be violated;
(iii) acceptance of offers may, subject to clause (v) below, be made only in ascending order of LIBOSOFR Margins or Set Rates, as the case may be, in each case beginning with the lowest rate so offered;
(iv) the Company may not accept any offer where the Administrative Agent has advised the Company that such offer fails to comply with Section 2.03(c)(ii) hereof or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.03(a) hereof); and
(v) the aggregate principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing from any Bank may not exceed any applicable Money Market Loan Limit of such Bank.
If offers are made by two or more Banks with the
same
LIBOSOFR Margins or Set Rates, as the case may be,
for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Money Market Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the
Company among such Banks as nearly as possible (in amounts of at least $5,000,000 or larger multiples of $1,000,000) in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such offers. Determinations by the Company of the amounts of Money Market Loans
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
42
(f) Funding of Money Market Loans. Any Bank whose offer to make any Money Market Loan has been accepted in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.03 shall, not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time on the date specified for the making of such Loan, make the amount of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent at an account in New York designated by the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, for account of the Company. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Company on such date by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of the Company designated by the Company.
(g) Utilization of Commitments. Except for the purpose and to the extent expressly stated in Sections 2.05(b) hereof, the amount of any Money Market Loan made by any Bank shall not constitute a utilization of such Banks Commitment.
(h) Request Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent a fee of $3,000 each time the Company gives a Money Market Quote Request to the Administrative Agent.
2.04 Letters of Credit.
(a) L/C Commitment.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Banks set forth in Section 2.04(d)(i), agrees to issue standby letters of credit (Letters of Credit) for the account of the Company (provided that any such Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any Subsidiary designated by the Company) on any Business Day during the period from and including the Effective Date to but not including the date that is five Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that such Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Sublimit, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Total Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero or (iii) the L/C Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed the L/C Commitment of such Issuing Lender. No Issuing Lender (other than an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent) shall permit any such issuance (or any renewal, extension or amendment of a Letter of Credit resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit) to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement. Each Letter of Credit shall (1) be denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency and (2) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).
43
(ii) Each Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.
(b) Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Company may from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, such Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof (and otherwise so long as such Issuing Lender shall not have received written notice from any Bank, the Administrative Agent or the Company at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 6.02 shall not then be satisfied), shall, on the requested date, issue such Letter of Credit requested or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Issuing Lenders usual and customary business practices (but in no event shall such Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto). Such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Company promptly following the issuance thereof. Such Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Banks, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).
(c) L/C Fees and Other Charges.
(i) The Company will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank, a fee in Dollars, on all outstanding Letters
of Credit at a per annum rate equal to (i) in the case of a performance Letter of Credit, 75% of the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to
EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loans and (ii) in
the case of a financial Letter of Credit, 100% of the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to the EurodollarTerm Benchmark Loans, in each case shared ratably among the Banks and
payable quarterly in arrears on the fifteenth day following
each Quarterly Date after the issuance date and on the Commitment Termination Date. In addition, the Company shall pay to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee in an amount per annum as separately agreed between the Company and such
Issuing Lender on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears
on the fifteenth day following each Quarterly Date after
the issuance thereof and on the Commitment Termination Date.
(ii) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Company shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.
44
(d) L/C Participations.
(i) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participants own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participants Revolving Percentage in such Issuing Lenders obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the Dollar Amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (or in the event that any reimbursement received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by it at any time), such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, upon demand an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such L/C Participants Revolving Percentage of the amount that is not so reimbursed (or is so returned). Each L/C Participants obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against such Issuing Lender, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 6, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Company or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(ii) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent, for the account of any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(d)(i) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average NYFRB Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 2.04(d)(i) is not made available to Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant (through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans. A certificate of such Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
45
(iii) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 2.04(d)(i), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Company (through the Administrative Agent) or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such L/C Participant, an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it (through the Administrative Agent).
(e) L/C Reimbursement Obligation of the Company. If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Company shall reimburse (whether with its own funds or with the proceeds of a Syndicated Loan) the applicable Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) the draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on (i) the third Business Day following the day that the Company receives notice of such draft, if such notice is received on such day prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the fourth Business Day following the day that the Company receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent to the extent the Administrative Agent can receive the applicable currency) in immediately available funds at its address for notices referred to herein and shall be made (i) in Dollars with respect to any Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars or (ii) subject to the next two sentences, with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, in such Alternative Currency. If the Companys reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Alternative Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender or any Bank to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in Dollars, the Company shall pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Lender or Bank; provided that the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Bank agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of this sentence with respect to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Bank, as applicable, shall, at the request of the Company, take reasonable steps to mitigate the adverse effects that may arise as a consequence of such event to the extent that such mitigation will not, in the sole opinion of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Bank, as applicable, entail any cost or be disadvantageous to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Bank, as applicable. If the Company fails to make such payment when due, then (i) if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no further action required, the Companys obligation to reimburse the applicable Letter of Credit disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Amount of such disbursement and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Lender of the
46
applicable disbursement and the Dollar Amount thereof. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate per annum
equal to (x) until the second (or third, as applicable) Business Day succeeding the date of the relevant notice, the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Base Rate Loans and (y) thereafter,
the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2%; provided that, in the case of an L/C Disbursement made under a Letter of Credit in an Alternative Currency, the amount of interest due
with respect thereto shall (i) in the case of any L/C Disbursement that is reimbursed on the Business Day immediately succeeding such L/C Disbursement, (A) be payable in the applicable Alternative Currency and (B) if not reimbursed on
the date of such L/C Disbursement, bear interest at a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Lender to be the cost to such Issuing Lender of funding such L/C Disbursement plus the Applicable Margin applicable to EurodollarTerm
Benchmark Loans at such time and (ii) in the case of any L/C Disbursement that is reimbursed after the Business Day immediately succeeding such L/C Disbursement (A) be payable in
Dollars, (B) accrue on the Dollar Amount of such L/C Disbursement and (C) bear interest as provided above. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued
on and after the date of payment by any Bank pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 2.04 to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Bank to the extent of such payment.
(f) L/C Obligations Absolute. The Companys obligations under this Section 2.04 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Company may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Company also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Companys Reimbursement Obligations under Section 2.04(e) shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Company and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Company against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. The Company agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Company and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Company.
(g) Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of such Issuing Lender to the Company in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
47
(h) Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.04, the provisions of this Section 2.04 shall apply.
(i) Issuing Lender Agreements. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect of Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding week, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Lender expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed, or extended by it (and whether, subject to Section 2.04(a), the face amount of any such Letter of Credit was changed thereby) and the aggregate face amount of such Letters of Credit outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Lender makes any L/C Disbursement, the date of such L/C Disbursement and the amount of such L/C Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which a Company fails to reimburse an L/C Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Lender on such day, the date of such failure, and the amount of such L/C Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.
(j) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Section 9, all amounts (i) that the Company is at the time or thereafter becomes required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of L/C Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (other than amounts in respect of which the Company has deposited cash collateral satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent, if such cash collateral is deposited in the applicable Alternative Currency to the extent so deposited or applied) and (ii) of each Banks participation in any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit under which an L/C Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Amount of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender or any Bank in respect of the Obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

51
2.11 Increase in Commitments. The Company shall have the right at any time to increase the aggregate Commitments hereunder to the extent that the sum of the aggregate Commitments hereunder do not exceed $2,750,000,000 by adding to this Agreement one or more other banks (which may include any Bank, with the consent of such Bank, each such bank an Additional Bank) with the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), each of which Additional Banks shall have entered into an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent pursuant to which such Additional Bank shall undertake a Commitment (if any such Additional Bank is a Bank, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Banks Commitment hereunder) which such Commitment shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, and upon the effectiveness of such agreement (the date of the effectiveness of any such agreement being hereinafter referred to as the Increased Commitment Date) such Additional Bank shall thereupon become a Bank for all purposes of this Agreement.

any Syndicated Loan shall be outstanding hereunder, the Company shall have borrowed from each of the Additional Banks, and the Additional Banks shall have made, Syndicated Loans to the Company (in the case of (x) Syndicated EurodollarTerm
Benchmark Loans, with Interest Period(s) ending on the date(s) of any then outstanding Interest
Period(s) and (y) Syndicated RFR Loans, with the same interest payment dates as the interest payment dates

(iii) If the Company cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Banks L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Company shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) with respect to such Defaulting Banks L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Banks L/C Exposure is cash collateralized;

(d) so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Banks then outstanding L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Banks and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Company in accordance with Section 2.12(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Banks in a manner consistent with Section 2.12(c) (and such Defaulting Bank shall not participate therein).

the date of borrowing, Conversion, Continuation or optional prepayment (which shall be a Business Day). Each such notice of the duration of an Interest Period
or of an interest payment date shall specify the Loans to which
such Interest Period or interest payment date is to relate.
The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Banks of the contents of each such notice. In the event that the Company fails
to select the Type of a Loan, or the duration of any Interest Period for any 4.06 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Bank or the Company (the Payor) prior to the date on which the
Payor is to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (in the case of a Bank) the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Bank hereunder or (in the case of the Company) a payment to the Administrative Agent for account of one or more of the Banks
hereunder (such payment being herein called the Required Payment), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required 62
to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient(s) on such date; and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient(s) of such
payment shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date (the Advance Date) such amount was so made
available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the NYFRB Rate for such day and, if such recipient(s) shall fail promptly to make such payment, the Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to recover such amount, on demand, from the Payor, together with interest as aforesaid, provided that if neither the recipient(s) nor the Payor shall return the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent within three Business
Days of the Advance Date, then, retroactively to the Advance Date, the Payor and the recipient(s) shall each be obligated to pay interest on the Required Payment as follows: (i) if the Required Payment shall represent a payment to be made by the Company to the Banks, the Company and the recipient(s)
shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment at the Post-Default Rate (without duplication of the obligation of the Company under Section 3.02 hereof to pay interest on the
Required Payment at the Post-Default Rate), it being understood that the return by the recipient(s) of the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent shall not limit such obligation of the Company under said Section 3.02 to pay interest at the
Post-Default Rate in respect of the Required Payment, and (ii) if the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a Loan
to be made by the Banks to the Company, the Payor and the Company shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof, it being understood that the return
by the Company of the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent shall not limit any claim the Company may have against the Payor in respect of such Required Payment. 4.07 Sharing of Payments, Etc. (a) Right of Offset. The Company agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set-off, bankers lien or
counterclaim a Bank may otherwise have, each Bank shall be entitled, at its option (to the fullest extent permitted by law), to set off and apply any deposit (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), or other indebtedness, held by
it for the credit or account of the Company at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any of such Banks Loans or any other amount payable to such Bank hereunder, that is not paid when
due (regardless of whether such deposit or other indebtedness is then due to the Company), in which case it shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent thereof, provided that such Banks failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity thereof; provided that if any Defaulting Bank shall exercise any such right of set-off, (i) all amounts so set-off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Bank from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Banks and (ii) the
Defaulting Bank shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Bank as to which it exercised such right of set-off. 63
(b) Sharing of Payments. If any Bank shall obtain from the Company payment of any
principal of or interest on any Loan of any Class owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement through the exercise of any right of set-off, bankers lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from the
Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Bank shall have received a greater percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans of such Class or such other amounts then due hereunder by the Company to such
Bank than the percentage received by any other Bank, it shall promptly purchase from such other Banks participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Bank, direct interests in) the Loans of such Class or such other amounts,
respectively, owing to such other Banks (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Banks shall share the benefit of such excess
payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Bank in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans of such Class or such other amounts, respectively, owing
to each of the Banks. To such end all the Banks shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. (c) Participants Rights against Company. The Company agrees that any Bank so purchasing such a participation (or direct interest)
may exercise all rights of set-off, bankers lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Bank in the amount
of such participation. (d) No Requirement to Exercise Offset Rights. Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise
any such right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Company. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law, any Bank receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which this Section 4.07 applies, such Bank shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of
the Banks entitled under this Section 4.07 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. 64
Section 5. Yield Protection, Etc. 5.01 Additional Costs. (a) Regulatory Change. The Company shall pay (but without duplication) directly to each Bank, Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent
from time to time such amounts as such Bank, Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to compensate such Bank, Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent for any costs that such Bank, Issuing Lender or the
Administrative Agent determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any (i) shall subject any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office for any of such Loans), Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent
to any tax, duty or other charge in respect of such Loans or its Notes or Letters of Credit or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Bank, Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or its Notes in respect
of any of such Loans or Letters of Credit (excluding, in each case, Excluded Taxes); or (ii) imposes or modifies any
reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirements (iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or its Notes (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities) or
its Commitment. If any Bank requests compensation from the Company under this Section 5.01, the Company may, by notice to such Bank
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Bank thereafter to make or Continue (b) Capital Requirements. Without limiting the effect of the
foregoing provisions of this Section 5.01 (but without duplication), the Company shall pay directly to each Bank and Issuing Lender from time to time on request such amounts as such Bank or Issuing Lender may determine to be necessary to
compensate such Bank or Issuing Lender (or, without duplication, the bank holding company of which such Bank or Issuing Lender is a subsidiary) for any costs that it determines are attributable to the maintenance by such Bank or Issuing Lender (or
any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company), pursuant to any law or 65
regulation or any interpretation, directive, request, application thereof or compliance by such Bank or Issuing Lender or any corporation controlling such Bank or Issuing Lender with any request
or directive regarding capital or liquidity requirement (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) of any court or governmental or monetary authority following any Regulatory Change, of
capital or liquidity requirements in respect of its Commitment, Loans or Letters of Credit (such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of such Bank or Issuing Lender
(or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company) to a level below that which such Bank or Issuing Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company) could have achieved but for such law, regulation, interpretation,
directive or request, taking into consideration the policies of such Bank or Issuing Lender or the corporation controlling such Bank or Issuing Lender with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity). (c) Notification by Banks. Each Bank or Issuing Lender shall notify the Company of any event occurring after the date hereof entitling
such Bank or Issuing Lender to compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5.01 as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 180 days, after such Bank or Issuing Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided
that (i) if any Bank or Issuing Lender fails to give such notice within 180 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Bank shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 5.01 in respect of any
costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 5.01 for costs incurred from and after the date 180 days prior to the date that such Bank or Issuing Lender does give such notice and (ii) each Bank and
Issuing Lender will designate a different Applicable Lending Office (and/or take other reasonable steps to mitigate any increased costs under this Section 5.01) for the Loans or participations or issuances of Letters of Credit of such Bank or
Issuing Lender affected by such event if such designation or mitigation steps, as applicable, will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Bank or Issuing Lender, be disadvantageous to
such Bank or Issuing Lender, except that such Bank or Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United States of America. Each Bank and Issuing Lender will furnish to the Company a certificate
setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Bank or Issuing Lender for compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5.01. Determinations and allocations by any Bank or Issuing Lender for purposes of this
Section 5.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5.01, or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 5.01, on its costs or rate of return of
maintaining Loans or its obligation to make Loans or issue or participate in any Letter of Credit, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans or Letters of Credit, and of the amounts required to compensate such Bank or Issuing Lender under
this Section 5.01, shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis. 5.02
[Reserved]. 66

each Bank, upon the request of such Bank through the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Bank) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Bank reasonably determines is
attributable to: (a)
(i) any payment, mandatory or optional prepayment or Conversion of a (b) (i) any failure by the Company for any reason (including, without
limitation, the failure of any of the conditions precedent specified in Section 6 hereof to be satisfied) to borrow a 68
5.06 Taxes. (a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Company under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and
without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes; provided that if any Non-Excluded Taxes are required by applicable law to be withheld from any amounts payable hereunder, (i) such amounts shall be paid to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (ii) the amounts so payable by the Company to such Bank shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions for all
Non-Excluded Taxes) such Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received under this Agreement if such withholding or deduction for such Non-Excluded Taxes had not been required; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to increase any such amounts payable to any Bank with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes that are attributable to such Banks failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (e) or (f) of this Section or that are United
States withholding taxes resulting from any Requirement of Law in effect (including FATCA) on the date such Bank becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Banks assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment,
to receive additional amounts from the Company with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph. (b) The Company shall
pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (c) The Company shall pay (or reimburse) the
Administrative Agent and each Bank for any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed directly on the Administrative Agent or such Bank, in each case, within 30 days after written demand therefor (together with a statement setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis and calculation of such amounts). If (i) any withholding taxes which are Non-Excluded Taxes are not paid when due (either by the Company or the Administrative Agent, acting in good faith); or (ii) any Non-Excluded Taxes
are imposed directly on the Administrative Agent or any Bank and the Company fails to pay (or reimburse) such Person within 30 days after demand therefor, the Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Bank for such amounts, any
interest or penalties (limited with respect to (ii) to incremental interest or penalties) that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or such Bank by reason of such failure. (d) Each Bank shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions,
withholdings or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Bank and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to
the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d). 69
(e) Each Bank that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative
Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) or such other document or information prescribed by applicable
laws or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements. Each Non-U.S. Bank shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Bank from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (i) two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying IRS forms), (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Bank claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under
Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of portfolio interest, a statement substantially in the form of the applicable Exhibit G and the applicable IRS Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors
thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (iii) any other form
prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by
applicable requirements of law to permit the Company and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Such forms shall be delivered by each Bank on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement
(or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Bank shall deliver such
forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Bank. Each Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any
previously delivered certificate to the Company (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a Bank shall not be required to deliver any form
pursuant to this Section that such Bank is not legally able to deliver. (f) A Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Bank is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments
to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided, that such Bank is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Banks judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially
prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank. 70
(g) If a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal
withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the
Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company (or the Administrative Agent), such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company (or the Administrative Agent) as may be necessary for the Company (or the Administrative Agent) to comply with its obligations under
FATCA, to determine that such Bank has or has not complied with such Banks obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.06(g), FATCA shall
include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. (h) If the Administrative Agent or any Bank determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Company or with respect to which the Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.06, it shall pay
over such refund to the Company (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Company under this Section 5.06 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Bank and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Company, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent or such Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Company (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Bank in the event the
Administrative Agent or such Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an
indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving
rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld, or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent
or any Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person. (i) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder. (j) For purposes of this Section 5.06, the term Bank includes the Issuing Lenders and the term
applicable law includes FATCA. 5.07 Replacement of Banks. If (i) any Bank requests compensation pursuant to
Section 5.01 or 5.06, (ii) any Banks obligation to make or Continue Loans of any Type, or to Convert Syndicated Loans of any Type into the other Type of Syndicated Loan, shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.03 hereof
or (iii) any Bank is a Defaulting Bank hereunder (any such Bank requesting such compensation, whose obligations are so suspended or who is a Defaulting Bank, being herein called a Departing Bank), the Company, upon three
Business Days notice to the Administrative Agent given when no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may require that such Departing Bank transfer all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement and such Departing
Banks Notes to any bank or other financial institution 71
identified by the Company that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (a) if such bank or other
financial institution (a Proposed Bank) agrees to assume all of the obligations of such Departing Bank hereunder, and to purchase all of such Departing Banks Loans hereunder for consideration equal to the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of such Departing Banks Loans, together with interest thereon to the date of such purchase, and satisfactory arrangements are made for payment to such Departing Bank of all other amounts payable hereunder to such
Departing Bank on or prior to the date of such transfer (including any fees accrued hereunder and any amounts that would be payable under Section 5.05 hereof as if all of such Departing Banks Loans were being prepaid in full on such date)
and (b) if such Departing Bank has requested compensation pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.06 hereof, such Proposed Banks aggregate requested compensation, if any, pursuant to said Section 5.01 or 5.06 with respect to such
Departing Banks Loans is lower than that of the Departing Bank. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.05(b) hereof, such Proposed Bank shall be a Bank for all purposes hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any
other agreement of the Company hereunder the agreements of the Company contained in said Sections 5.01, 5.06 and 11.03 (without duplication of any payments made to such Departing Bank by the Company or the Proposed Bank) shall survive for the
benefit of such Departing Bank under this Section 5.07 with respect to the time prior to such replacement. Section 6.

its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2020 and the related statements of consolidated earnings, stockholders equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended on said date, with

7.04 No Breach. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes,
the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach of, or require any consent under, the charter or by-laws of the Company, or any material applicable

material tax returns that are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries, except for any such tax being contested in

the opinion of the Company, adequate. 7.10 Investment Company Act. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is an
investment company, or a company controlled by an investment company, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 7.11 Environmental Matters. Each of the Company and its Material Domestic Subsidiaries has obtained all environmental, health and safety
permits, licenses and other authorizations required under all Environmental Laws to carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except to the extent failure to have any such permit, license or authorization, would not (either

the assigning Banks Commitment or Loans of any Class or Type, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment
is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $15,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default under
clause (a), (f) or (g) of Section 9 hereof has occurred and is continuing; (B) each partial assignment of

and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Banks rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5
hereof and Section 11.03 hereof). Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.05 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a

Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation
of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the L/C Commitments and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
Register). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant
to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice. (d) Acceptance of Assignments by Administrative Agent. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and
Assumption executed by an assigning Bank and an assignee, the assignees completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Bank hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 11.05(b)
hereof and any written consent to such assignment required by said Section 11.05(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be
effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. (e)
Participations. Any Bank may, without the consent of the Company, any Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a Participant) in all or a portion of such
Banks rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Banks obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, and the other
Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Banks rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a
participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
provided that such 97
agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to
Section 11.04(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 11.05(f) hereof, the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the limitations of, Section 5 hereof to the same extent
as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.05(b) hereof; provided, however, that no Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.06 unless such Participant complies with Sections
5.06(e), (f) and 5.06(g) as if it were a Bank, and such benefits, in any event shall not be greater than the benefits that the participating Bank was entitled to under Section 5. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.07 hereof as though it were a Bank, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.07(b) as though it were a Bank hereunder. Each Bank that sells a participation, acting solely for
this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participants interest in the Loans or other
obligations under this Agreement (the Participant Register); provided that no Bank 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 Participants 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) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and such Bank, the Company and the
Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. (f) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5
hereof than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Companys prior written consent. (g) Certain Pledges. Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority or other reserve bank having jurisdiction over such Bank, and this Section 11.05 shall not apply to
any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Bank as a party hereto. (h) No Assignments to the Company, Affiliates or Individuals. Anything in this Section 11.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, no
Bank may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to (i) the Company or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries without the prior consent of each Bank, (ii) a natural person or any holding company, trust or
investment vehicle for the primary benefit of a natural person (including relatives of such person) without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, other than any such entity that (w) has not been formed for the primary purpose of
acquiring Loans or Commitments under this Agreement, (x) is managed by a professional adviser (other than such natural person or any such relatives) having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial loans, (y) has
assets of greater than $100,000,000 and (z) has significant business activities that consist of making or purchasing (by assignment as principal) commercial loans and similar extensions of credit or (iii) a Defaulting Bank or any of its
Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 98
11.06 Survival. The obligations of the Company under Sections 5.01, 5.05, 5.06 and
11.03 hereof, and the obligations of the Banks under Section 10.05 hereof, shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a notice of
any Loan, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and no Bank shall be deemed to have waived, by reason of making any Loan, any Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty
proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that such Bank or the Administrative Agent may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time such Loan was made.

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. 11.17 Acknowledgement
Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support QFC Credit Support

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes) 104
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

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 Bank shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party
with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. 105
