We caution you that the foregoing list does not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur at all. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, and any subsequent filings, as well as those identified in this Form 10-Q. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made available. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make.

Airbnb, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1. Description of Business

Airbnb, Inc. (the “Company” or “Airbnb”) was incorporated in Delaware in June 2008 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. The Company operates a global platform for unique stays and experiences. The Company’s marketplace model connects Hosts and guests (collectively referred to as “customers”) online or through mobile devices to book spaces and experiences around the world.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“condensed consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 that have had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for these interim periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary in accordance with consolidation accounting guidance. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company determines, at the inception of each arrangement, whether an entity in which it has made an investment or in which it has other variable interest in is considered a VIE. The Company consolidates a VIE when it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that meets both of the following criteria: (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE; and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. Periodically, the Company determines whether any changes in its interest or relationship with the entity impact the determination of whether the entity is still a VIE and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. If the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a VIE, the Company accounts for the investment or other variable interest in a VIE in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s consolidated VIEs were not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company regularly evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debt reserves, fair value of investments, useful lives of long-lived assets and intangible assets, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets from acquisitions, contingent liabilities, insurance reserves, revenue recognition, valuation of common stock, stock-based compensation, and income and non-income taxes, among others. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

As the impact of the coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the challenging macroeconomic conditions, including rising inflation and interest rates, depressed consumer spending, and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to certain foreign currencies, continues to evolve, estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require increased judgment. These estimates and assumptions may change in future periods and will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements as new events occur and additional information becomes known. To the extent the Company’s actual results differ materially from those estimates and assumptions, the Company’s future consolidated financial statements could be affected.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments (Topic 470-50), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which clarifies existing guidance for freestanding written call options which are equity classified and remain so after they are modified or exchanged in order to reduce diversity in practice. The standard is effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the standard during the first quarter of 2022, which did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provides optional expedients and exceptions to contract modifications and hedging relationships that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The standard is effective upon issuance and may be applied at the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, which clarified the scope of Topic 848 to include derivatives that are affected by a change in the interest rate used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that do not also reference London Interbank Offered Rate or another reference rate that is expected to be discontinued as a result of the reference rate reform. The standard is effective upon issuance and may be applied retroactively as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively to any new modifications within an interim period including or subsequent to January 7, 2021. The Company is evaluating the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which clarifies the guidance on fair value hedge accounting of interest rate risk for portfolios of financial assets. The standard is effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted on any date on or after the issuance of ASU 2017-12. The Company is evaluating the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies the guidance of equity securities that are subject to a contractual sale restriction as well as includes specific disclosure requirements for such equity securities. The standard is effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years and will be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

There are other new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB that the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, and the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements have had, or will have, a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 has been revised to correct for errors identified by management during the preparation of the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The errors understated cash flows from operating activities by $122 million and overstated the cash flows from financing activities by $122 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Management has determined that these errors did not result in the previously issued financial statements being materially misstated. These errors primarily related to the timing of tax payments from the net settlement of equity awards at the initial public offering in December 2020. In particular, in 2020, the Company reported $1.7 billion of cash used in financing activities to cover taxes paid related to the net share settlement of its equity awards that vested upon the initial public offering. However, approximately $123 million of this amount was actually remitted to taxing authorities in foreign jurisdictions during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements outside of the presentation in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flow and did not affect the condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations or condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

The Company amended the anti-dilution feature in the warrant agreements associated with the Second Lien Credit Agreement, as defined in Note 6, Debt, which resulted in a change in classification from liability to equity, on March 30, 2021 (the “Modification Date”). The Company recorded a marked-to-market charge of $292.0 million through the first quarter of 2021, which was recorded in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Subsequent to the Modification Date, the warrants were no longer subject to marked-to-market charges. The balance of $1.3 billion was then reclassified from liability to equity as the amended warrants met the requirements for equity classification. Refer to Note 6, Debt, for additional information.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities totaled $25.9 million and $10.3 million, respectively, with the aggregate notional amount totaling $2.4 billion. As of September 30, 2022, the fair value of foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities totaled $64.0 million and $10.1 million, respectively, with the aggregate notional amount totaling $2.0 billion. Derivative assets are included in prepaids and other current assets and derivative liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company recorded total net realized gains of $26.8 million and $61.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively, and $3.2 million and $101.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively, related to foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities.

The Company recorded total net unrealized gains of $3.7 million and $13.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively, and $39.1 million and $38.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively, related to foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities.

The realized and unrealized gains and losses on non-designated derivatives are reported in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The cash flows related to derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are classified within operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Company has master netting arrangements with the respective counterparties to its derivative contracts, which are designed to reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty. The Company presents its derivative assets and derivative liabilities at their gross fair values in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2021, the potential effect of these rights of set-off associated with the Company’s derivative contracts would be a reduction to both assets and liabilities of $10.3 million, resulting in net derivative assets of $15.6 million. As of September 30, 2022, the potential effect of these rights of set-off associated with the Company’s derivative contracts would be a reduction to both assets and liabilities of $9.7 million, resulting in net derivative assets of $54.3 million and net derivative liabilities of $0.3 million.

Convertible Senior Notes

On March 8, 2021, the Company issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes") pursuant to an indenture, dated March 8, 2021 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 2026 Notes were offered and sold in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The 2026 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will not bear regular interest. The 2026 Notes mature on March 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The proceeds, net of debt issuance costs, were $1,979.2 million.

The initial conversion rate for the 2026 Notes is 3.4645 shares of the Company's Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $288.64 per share of the Class A common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to customary adjustments under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

The 2026 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders before December 15, 2025 only upon the occurrence of certain events, and from and after December 15, 2025, at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding March 15, 2026, only under certain circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company may satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, at the Company’s election, based on the applicable conversion rate. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time. Additionally, in the event of a corporate event constituting a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the 2026 Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their 2026 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest or additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of the fundamental change repurchase.

Debt issuance costs related to the 2026 Notes totaled $20.8 million and were composed of commissions payable to the initial purchasers and third-party offering costs. Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the contractual term. The Company recorded interest expense of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, and $2.3 million and $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively, for the 2026 Notes relating to amortization of the debt discount and debt issuance costs.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

As of September 30, 2022, the if-converted value of the 2026 Notes did not exceed the outstanding principal amount.

As of September 30, 2022, the total estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes was $1.7 billion and was determined based on a market approach using actual bids and offers of the 2026 Notes in an over-the-counter market on the last trading day of the period, or Level 2 inputs.

Capped Calls

On March 3, 2021, in connection with the pricing of the 2026 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Calls”) with certain of the initial purchasers and other financial institutions (the "option counterparties") at a cost of $100.2 million. The Capped Calls cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of Class A common stock initially underlying the 2026 Notes. By entering into the Capped Calls, the Company expects to reduce the potential dilution to its Class A common stock (or, in the event a conversion of the 2026 Notes is settled in cash, to reduce its cash payment obligation) in the event that at the time of conversion of the 2026 Notes its common stock price exceeds the conversion price of the 2026 Notes. The cap price of the Capped Calls will initially be $360.80 per share of Class A common stock, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock of $180.40 per share on March 3, 2021, and is subject to certain customary adjustments under the terms of the Capped Calls.

The Capped Calls meet the criteria for classification in equity, are not remeasured each reporting period and are included as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital within stockholders’ equity.

Term Loans

In April 2020, the Company entered into a $1.0 billion First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “First Lien Credit Agreement,” and the loans thereunder, the “First Lien Loan”), resulting in net proceeds of $961.4 million, net of debt discount and debt issuance costs of $38.6 million. The loan was due and payable in April 2025 and could be repaid in whole or in part at the Company’s option, subject to applicable prepayment premiums and make-whole premiums. Beginning in September 2020, the Company was required to repay the First Lien Loan in quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Loan, with the remaining principal amount payable on the maturity date.

Also in April 2020, the Company entered into a $1.0 billion Second Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement,” and the loans thereunder, the “Second Lien Loan”), resulting in net proceeds of $967.5 million, net of debt discount and debt issuance costs of $32.5 million. The loan was due and payable in July 2025 and could be repaid in whole or in part, subject to applicable prepayment premiums, make-whole premiums, and the priority of lenders under the First Lien Credit Agreement over any proceeds the Company receives from the sale of collateral.

In March 2021, the Company repaid the principal amount outstanding of $1,995.0 million under the First Lien and Second Lien loans, which resulted in a loss of extinguishment of debt of $377.2 million, including early redemption premiums of $212.9 million and a write-off of $164.3 million of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs. The loss on extinguishment of debt was included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the Company incurred third-party costs, principally legal and administrative fees, of $0.1 million relating to the extinguishment of the loans.

The debt discount and debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, interest expense of $17.0 million and $24.3 million, respectively, was recorded for the First Lien and Second Lien Loans relating to the contractual interest and amortization of the debt discount and debt issuance costs.

The First Lien Loan and the Second Lien Loan were unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and were both secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and of these subsidiary guarantors.

In connection with the Second Lien Loan, the Company issued warrants to purchase 7,934,794 shares of Class A common stock with an initial exercise price of $28.355 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, to the Second Lien Loan lenders. The warrants expire on April 17, 2030 and the exercise price can be paid in cash or in net shares at the holder’s option. The fair value of the warrants at issuance was $116.6 million and was recorded as a liability in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding debt discount recorded against the Second Lien Loan. The warrant liability was remeasured to fair value at each reporting date as long as the warrants remained outstanding and unexercised with changes in fair value recorded in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of the warrant totaled $985.2 million. The Company amended the anti-dilution feature in the warrant agreements on March 30, 2021, which resulted in a change in classification from liability to equity. Accordingly, the Company recorded $292.0 million in other income (expense), net during the first quarter of 2021. The liability balance of $1.3 billion was then reclassified to equity as the amended warrants met the requirements for equity classification.

2020 Credit Facility

On November 19, 2020, the Company entered into a five-year secured revolving Credit and Guarantee Agreement, which provides for initial commitments by a group of lenders led by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. of $500.0 million (“2020 Credit Facility”). The 2020 Credit Facility provides a $200.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit. The 2020 Credit Facility has a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on any undrawn amounts, payable quarterly in arrears. Interest on borrowings is equal to (i) in the case of LIBOR borrowings, 1.5% plus LIBOR, subject to a floor of 0%, or (ii) in the case of base rate borrowings, 0.5% plus the greatest of (a) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. as its “prime rate”, and (c) LIBOR for a one-month period plus 1.0%, in each case subject to a floor of 1.0%. Outstanding balances may be repaid prior to maturity without penalty. The 2020 Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to incur debt and liens, undergo fundamental changes, and pay dividends or other distributions, as well as certain financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2022. No amounts have been drawn on the 2020 Credit Facility as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, and outstanding letters of credit totaled $15.9 million and $28.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, the Company entered into a five-year unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement which terminated and replaced the 2020 Credit Facility. Refer to Note 13, Subsequent Event, for additional details.

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company has granted restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) to certain continuing employees, primarily in connection with acquisitions. Vesting of this stock is primarily dependent on a service-based vesting condition that generally becomes satisfied over a period of four years. The Company has the right to repurchase or cancel shares for which the vesting condition is not satisfied.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)

In December 2020, the Company’s board of directors adopted the ESPP. The maximum number of shares of Class A common stock authorized for sale under the ESPP is equal to the sum of (i) 4,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and (ii) an annual increase on the first day of each year beginning in 2022 and ending in 2030, equal to the lesser of (a) 1% of shares of Class A common stock (on an as converted basis) on the last day immediately preceding year and (b) such number of shares of common stock as determined by the board of directors; provided, however, that no more than 89,785,394 shares may be issued under the ESPP. The Company estimates the fair value of shares to be issued under the ESPP based on a combination of options valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP of $24.7 million and $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively, and $89.5 million and $22.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, 0.5 million shares of common stock were purchased under the ESPP at a weighted-average price of $57.80 per share, resulting in net cash proceeds of $25.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 0.2 million shares of common stock were purchased under the ESPP at a weighted-average price of $103.23 per share, resulting in net cash proceeds of $20.3 million.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company has commitments including purchase obligations for web-hosting services and other commitments for brand marketing. As of September 30, 2022, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the Company’s commitments, as disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Extenuating Circumstances Policy

In March 2020, the Company applied its extenuating circumstances policy to cancellations resulting from COVID-19. That policy provides customers with greater flexibility to cancel reservations that are disrupted by epidemics, natural disasters, and other emergencies. Specifically, accommodation bookings made by guests on or before March 14, 2020, have so far been covered by the policy and may be canceled before check-in. To support Hosts impacted by elevated guest cancellations under that policy, the Company committed up to $250.0 million for Hosts, and had a remaining reserve balance of $37.8 million as of September 30, 2022. The reservations eligible for this $250.0 million Host program were defined as reservations made on or before March 14, 2020 with a check-in date between March 14, 2020 and May 31, 2020. For these reservations, eligible Hosts are entitled to receive 25% of the amount they would have received from guests under the Host’s cancellation policies. These payments are accounted for as consideration paid to a customer and as such, primarily result in a reduction to revenue. Under this policy, the Company recorded payments, primarily to Hosts, that were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, in its condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Lodging Tax Obligations and Other Non-Income Tax Matters

Some states and localities in the United States and elsewhere in the world impose transient occupancy or lodging accommodations taxes (“Lodging Taxes”) on the use or occupancy of lodging accommodations or other traveler services. As of September 30, 2022, the Company collects and remits Lodging Taxes in approximately 31,300 jurisdictions on behalf of its Hosts. Such Lodging Taxes are generally remitted to tax jurisdictions within a 30 to 90-day period following the end of each month.

As of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, the Company had an obligation to remit Lodging Taxes collected from guests on bookings in these jurisdictions totaling $180.8 million and $327.9 million, respectively. These payables were recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In jurisdictions where the Company does not collect and remit Lodging Taxes, the responsibility for collecting and remitting these taxes primarily rests with Hosts. The Company has estimated liabilities in a certain number of jurisdictions with respect to state, city, and local taxes related to lodging where management believes it is probable that the Company can be held jointly liable with Hosts for taxes and the related amounts can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, accrued obligations related to these estimated taxes, including estimated penalties and interest, totaled $57.3 million and $64.7 million, respectively. With respect to lodging and related taxes for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible, the Company is unable to determine an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss beyond the amounts already accrued.

The Company’s potential obligations with respect to Lodging Taxes could be affected by various factors, which include, but are not limited to, whether the Company determines, or any tax authority asserts, that the Company has a responsibility to collect lodging and related taxes on either historical or future transactions or by the introduction of new ordinances and taxes which subject the Company’s operations to such taxes. Accordingly, the ultimate resolution of Lodging Taxes may be greater or less than reserve amounts that the Company has recorded.

The Company is currently involved in disputes with certain states and localities involving the payment of Lodging Taxes. These jurisdictions are asserting that the Company is liable or jointly liable with Hosts to collect and remit Lodging Taxes. These disputes are in various stages and the Company continues to vigorously defend these claims. The Company believes that the statutes at issue impose a Lodging Tax obligation on the person exercising the taxable privilege of providing accommodations, or the Company’s Hosts.

The imposition of such taxes on the Company could increase the cost of a guest booking and potentially cause a reduction in the volume of bookings on the Company’s platform, which would adversely impact the Company’s results of operations. The Company will continue to monitor the application and interpretation of lodging and related taxes and ordinances and will adjust accruals based on any new information or further developments.

The Company is under audit and inquiry by various domestic and foreign tax authorities with regard to non-income tax matters. The subject matter of these contingent liabilities primarily arises from the Company’s transactions with its customers, as well as the tax treatment of certain employee benefits and related employment taxes. In jurisdictions with disputes connected to transactions with customers , disputes involve the applicability of transactional taxes (such as sales, value-added, and similar taxes) to services provided, as well as the applicability of withholding tax on payments made to such Hosts. Due to the inherent complexity and uncertainty of these matters and judicial processes in certain jurisdictions, the final outcomes may exceed the estimated liabilities recorded.

As of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, the Company accrued a total of $124.2 million and $132.9 million of estimated tax liabilities, including interest, related to Hosts’ withholding tax obligations, respectively.

The Company has identified reasonably possible exposures related to withholding income taxes and transactional taxes, and has not accrued for these amounts since the likelihood of the contingent liability is less than probable. The Company estimates that the reasonably possible loss related to these matters in excess of the amounts accrued is between $165.0 million to $185.0 million; however, no assurance can be given as to the outcomes and the Company could be subject to significant additional tax liabilities.

With respect to all other withholding tax on payments made to Hosts and transactional taxes for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible, the Company is unable to determine an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss beyond the amounts already accrued.

In addition, as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, the Company accrued a total of $33.6 million and $33.4 million of estimated tax liabilities related to employment taxes on certain employee benefits, respectively.

The Company is subject to regular payroll tax examinations by various state and local jurisdictions. Although management believes its tax withholding remittance practices are appropriate, the Company may be subject to additional tax liabilities, including interest and penalties, if any tax authority disagrees with the Company’s withholding and remittance practices, or if there are changes in laws, regulations, administrative practices, principles or interpretations related to payroll tax withholding in the various state and local jurisdictions.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

The Company has been and is currently a party to various legal and regulatory matters arising in the normal course of business. Such proceedings and claims, even if not meritorious, can require significant financial and operational resources, including the diversion of management’s attention from the Company’s business objectives.

Regulatory Matters

The Company operates in a complex legal and regulatory environment and its operations are subject to various U.S. and foreign laws, rules, and regulations, including those related to: Internet activities; short-term rentals, long-term rentals and home sharing; real estate, property rights, housing and land use; travel and hospitality; privacy and data protection; intellectual property; competition; health and safety; protection of minors; consumer protection; employment; payments, money transmission, economic and trade sanctions, anti-corruption and anti-bribery; taxation; and others. In addition, the nature of the Company’s business exposes it to inquiries and potential claims related to the compliance of the business with applicable law and regulations. In some instances, applicable laws and regulations do not yet exist or are being applied, interpreted or implemented to address aspects of the Company’s business, and such adoption or interpretation could further alter or impact the Company’s business.

In certain instances, the Company has been party to litigation with municipalities relating to or arising out of certain regulations. In addition, the implementation and enforcement of regulation can have an impact on the Company’s business.

Intellectual Property

The Company has been and is currently subject to claims relating to intellectual property, including alleged patent infringement. Adverse results in such lawsuits may include awards of substantial monetary damages, costly royalty or licensing agreements, or orders preventing the Company from offering certain features, functionalities, products, or services, and may also cause the Company to change its business practices or require development of non-infringing products or technologies, which could result in a loss of revenue or otherwise harm its business. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such cases and has not recorded any material liabilities in its condensed consolidated financial statements related to such matters.

Litigation and Other Legal Proceedings

The Company is currently involved in, and may in the future be involved in, legal proceedings, claims, and government investigations in the ordinary course of business. These include proceedings, claims, and investigations relating to, among other things, regulatory matters, commercial matters, intellectual property, competition, tax, employment, pricing, discrimination, consumer rights, personal injury, and property rights.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (“ACCC”) commenced proceedings against Airbnb, Inc. and Airbnb Ireland UC alleging that Airbnb has breached the Australian Consumer Law by making false and misleading representations, because certain users were shown prices and charged in U.S. dollars versus Australian dollars. The Company disputes the allegations of the ACCC.

Depending on the nature of the proceeding, claim, or investigation, the Company may be subject to monetary damage awards, fines, penalties, or injunctive orders. Furthermore, the outcome of these matters could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. The outcomes of legal proceedings, claims, and government investigations are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant judgment to determine the likelihood and amount of loss related to such matters. While it is not possible to determine the outcomes, the Company believes based on its current knowledge that the resolution of all such pending matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

The Company establishes an accrued liability for loss contingencies related to legal matters when a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. These accruals represent management’s best estimate of probable losses. Such currently accrued amounts are not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. However, management’s views and estimates related to these matters may change in the future, as new events and circumstances arise and the matters continue to develop. Until the final resolution of legal matters, there may be an exposure to losses in excess of the amounts accrued. With respect to outstanding legal matters, based on current knowledge, the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.

Host Protections

The Company offers AirCover coverage, which includes but is not limited to, the Company’s Host Damage Protection program that provides protection of up to $1.0 million for direct physical loss or damage to a Host’s covered property caused by guests during a confirmed booking and when the Host and guest are unable to resolve the dispute. The Company retains risk and also maintains insurance from third parties on a per claim basis to protect the Company’s financial exposure under this program. In addition, through third-party insurers and self-insurance mechanisms, including a wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary created during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company provides insurance coverage for third-party bodily injury or property damage liability claims that occur during a stay. The Company’s Host Liability Insurance and Experiences Liability Insurance consists of a commercial general liability policy, with Hosts and the Company as named insureds and landlords of Hosts as additional insureds. The Host Liability Insurance and Experiences Liability Insurance provides primary coverage for up to $1.0 million per occurrence, subject to a $1.0 million cap per listing location, and includes various market standard conditions, limitations, and exclusions.

Indemnifications

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with certain of its officers and directors. The indemnification agreements and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) require the Company to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent not prohibited by Delaware law. Subject to certain limitations, the indemnification agreements and Bylaws also require the Company to advance expenses incurred by its directors and officers. No demands have been made upon the Company to provide indemnification under the indemnification agreements or the Bylaws, and thus, there are no claims that the Company is aware of that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has included limited indemnification provisions under certain agreements with parties with whom the Company has commercial relations of varying scope and terms with respect to certain matters, including losses arising out of its breach of such agreements or out of intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these indemnification provisions due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision. To date, no significant costs have been incurred, either individually or collectively, in connection with the Company’s indemnification provisions.

Note 9. Income Taxes

The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined by using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, the Company updates the estimated annual effective tax rate and makes a year-to-date adjustment to the provision. The estimated annual effective tax rate is subject to significant volatility due to several factors, including accurately predicting the Company’s pre-tax and taxable income and loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, intercompany transactions, audit-related developments, and changes in statutes, regulations, case law, and administrative actions.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $16.6 million and $55.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively, and $34.1 million and $70.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively. Tax expense for all periods was primarily driven by current tax on U.S. and foreign earnings.

The Company’s significant tax jurisdictions include the United States, California, and Ireland. The Company is currently under examination for income taxes by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the 2013, 2016, 2017, and 2018 tax years. The primary issue under examination in the 2013 audit is the valuation of the Company’s international intellectual property which was sold to a subsidiary in 2013. In the year ended December 31, 2019, new information became available which required the Company to remeasure its reserve for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recorded additional tax expense of $196.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. In December 2020, the Company received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (“NOPA”) from the IRS which proposed an increase to the Company’s U.S. taxable income that could result in additional income tax expense and cash liability of $1.3 billion, plus penalties and interest, which exceeds its current reserve recorded in its consolidated financial statements by more than $1.0 billion. The Company disagrees with the proposed adjustment and intends to vigorously contest it. In February 2021, the Company submitted a protest to the IRS describing its disagreement with the proposed agreement and requesting the case to be transferred to the IRS Independent Office of Appeals (“IRS Appeals”). In December 2021, the Company received a rebuttal from the IRS with the same proposed adjustments that were in the NOPA. In January 2022, the Company entered into an administrative dispute process with IRS Appeals. The Company will continue to pursue all available remedies to resolve this dispute, including petitioning the U.S. Tax Court (“Tax Court”) for redetermination if an acceptable outcome cannot be reached with IRS Appeals, and if necessary, appealing the Tax Court’s decision to the appropriate appellate court.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law, with tax provisions primarily focused on implementing a 15%
minimum tax on global adjusted financial statement income and a 1% excise tax on share repurchases. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will become effective beginning in fiscal year 2023. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the new law on its consolidated financial statements.

Basic$1.34 $1.90 $(0.67)$2.47 
Diluted$1.22 $1.79 $(0.67)$2.31 

The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 20 votes per share. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into a share of Class A common stock voluntarily at any time by the holder, and automatically upon certain events. The Class A common stock has no conversion rights. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical for Class A and Class B common stock, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportional basis and the resulting net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is the same for both Class A and Class B common stock on an individual or combined basis.

There were no preferred dividends declared or accumulated for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022. As of September 30, 2021 and 2022, RSUs to be settled in 10.8 million and 9.6 million shares of Class A common stock were excluded from the table below because they are subject to market conditions that were not achieved as of such date. As of September 30, 2021 and 2022, 0.5 million shares of RSAs were excluded from the table below because they are subject to performance conditions that were not achieved as of such date.

Additionally, the following securities were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding because the effect would be anti-dilutive (in thousands):

The 11.1 million shares represents the maximum number of shares that can be issued upon conversion after considering the make-whole fundamental change adjustment on an unweighted basis.

On August 2, 2022, the Company announced its board of directors approved a share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to $2.0 billion of the Company's Class A common stock at management’s discretion (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Share repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or accelerated share repurchase transactions or by any combination of such methods. The Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date, does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion. When shares are retired, the value of repurchased shares is deducted from stockholders’ equity through capital with the excess over par value recorded to accumulated deficit.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 8.6 million shares of common stock for $1.0 billion. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $1.0 billion available to repurchase shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program.

Note 12. Restructuring

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company experienced significant economic challenges associated with a severe decline in bookings, resulting primarily from COVID-19 and overall global travel restrictions. To address these impacts, in May 2020, the Company’s management approved a restructuring plan to realign the Company’s business and strategic priorities based on the current market and economic conditions as a result of COVID-19. This worldwide restructuring plan included a 25% reduction in the number of full-time employees, or approximately 1,800 employees, as well as a reduction in the contingent workforce and amendments to certain commercial agreements. These restructuring expenses are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, and unpaid amounts are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. Cumulative restructuring charges as of September 30, 2022 were $353.3 million. As of September 30, 2022, the remaining liability for restructuring costs was not material.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $112.1 million in restructuring charges, including $75.3 million related to impairments of operating lease right-of-use assets and $37.2 million related to impairments of leasehold improvements. Restructuring charges for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were not material.

In the second quarter of 2022, the Company announced it would shift to a remote work model, allowing its employees to work from anywhere in the country they currently work. The shift to a remote work model was in direct response to the change in how employees work due to the impact of COVID-19. As a result, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $89.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which include $80.5 million relating to an impairment of both domestic and international operating lease right-of-use assets, and $8.4 million of related leasehold improvements. Restructuring charges for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were not material.
Note 13. Subsequent Event

2022 Credit Facility and Termination of the 2020 Credit Facility

On October 31, 2022, the Company entered into a five-year unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement, which provides for initial commitments by a group of lenders led by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. of $1.0 billion (“2022 Credit Facility”). The 2022 Credit Facility provides a $200.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit. The 2022 Credit Facility has a commitment fee based on ratings and leverage ratios with amounts that range from 0.10% to 0.20% per annum on any undrawn amounts, payable quarterly in arrears. Interest on borrowings is based on ratings and leverage ratios with amounts that range from (i) in the case of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) borrowings, 1.0% to 1.5%, plus SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.0%, or (ii) in the case of base rate borrowings, 0.0% to 0.5%; plus the greatest of (a) the rate of interest in effect for such day by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. as its “prime rate”; (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%; and (c) SOFR for a one-month period plus 1.0%. Outstanding balances may be repaid prior to maturity without penalty. The 2022 Credit Facility contains customary events of default, affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to incur debt and liens, undergo fundamental changes, as well as certain financial covenants. In connection with the consummation of the 2022 Credit Facility, the Company terminated the 2020 Credit Facility. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no amounts were drawn under the 2022 Credit Facility.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under the section titled “Risk Factors” of our 2021 Annual Report, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, and any subsequent filings, as well as those identified in this Form 10-Q. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

As described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have revised previously issued financial statements to correct immaterial misstatements.

Overview

We are a community based on connection and belonging—a community that was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 4 million Hosts who have welcomed over 1 billion guest arrivals to over 100,000 cities and towns in almost every country and region across the globe. Hosts on Airbnb are everyday people who share their worlds to provide guests with the feeling of connection and being at home. We have five stakeholders and are designed with all of them in mind. Along with employees and shareholders, we serve Hosts, guests, and the communities in which they live. We intend to make long-term decisions considering all of our stakeholders because their collective success is key for our business to thrive.

We operate a global marketplace, where Hosts offer guests stays and experiences on our platform. Our business model relies on the success of Hosts and guests (collectively referred to as “customers”) who join our community and generate consistent bookings over time. As Hosts become more successful on our platform and as guests return over time, we benefit from the recurring activity of our community.

Macroeconomic Conditions on our Business

Impact of COVID-19

In response to the outbreak of the novel strain of the coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) in the first half of 2020, as well as subsequent outbreaks driven by new variants of COVID-19, governments around the world have implemented, and continue to implement, a variety of measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, including travel restrictions, social distancing, shelter-in-place orders, vaccination mandates or requirements for businesses to confirm employees’ vaccination status, and other restrictions.

Throughout 2021, we continued to face lower demand for long distance travel and overall depressed Nights and Experiences Booked compared to 2019. However, in 2022, we have seen significant growth with Nights and Experiences Booked exceeding 2019 levels for the same period. While COVID-19 still plagues the world, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, Gross Booking Value (“GBV”) and revenue were $15.6 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively, which were both higher compared to the same periods in 2021, 2020 and 2019.The trends in our recovery continue to vary by region due to a variety of factors, including the emergence of COVID-19 variants, vaccination rates, COVID-19 caseloads and associated travel restrictions, as well as historical cross-border compared to domestic travel dependence. In the third quarter of 2022, we saw strength in all regions relative to the same period in 2021 and growth in nights booked in Asia Pacific and Latin America compared to the second quarter of 2022.

The extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic over the longer term remain uncertain and dependent on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as the severity and transmission rate of COVID-19, the introduction and spread of new variants of the virus that may be resistant to currently approved vaccines and the continuation of existing or implementation of new government travel restrictions, the extent and effectiveness of containment actions taken, including mobility restrictions, the timing, availability, and effectiveness of vaccines, and the impact of these and other factors on travel behavior in general, and on our business in particular, which may result in a reduction in bookings and an increase in booking cancellations.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law, with tax provisions primarily focused on implementing a 15%
minimum tax on global adjusted financial statement income and a 1% excise tax on share repurchases. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will become effective beginning in fiscal year 2023. We are currently assessing the potential impact of the new law on our consolidated financial statements.

As we look forward, we recognize the challenging macroeconomic conditions, including rising inflation and interest rates, depressed consumer spending, and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to certain foreign currencies. To date, these conditions have had a modest impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition; however, the impact in the future of these macroeconomic events on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition is uncertain and will depend on future developments that we may not be able to accurately predict.

Key Business Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We track the following key business metrics and financial measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“ U.S. GAAP”) (“non-GAAP financial measures”) to evaluate our operating performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections, and make strategic decisions. Accordingly, we believe that these key business metrics and non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management team. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance, and assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their U.S. GAAP results.

These key business metrics and non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled metrics or measures presented by other companies. For further information on these measures, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Nights and Experiences Booked

Nights and Experiences Booked is a key measure of the scale of our platform, which in turn drives our financial performance. Nights and Experiences Booked on our platform in a period represents the sum of the total number of nights booked for stays and the total number of seats booked for experiences, net of cancellations and alterations that occurred in that period. For example, a booking made on February 15 would be reflected in Nights and Experiences Booked for our quarter ended March 31. If, in the example, the booking were canceled on May 15, Nights and Experiences Booked would be reduced by the cancellation for our quarter ended June 30. A night can include one or more guests and can be for a listing with one or more bedrooms. A seat is booked for each participant in an experience. Substantially all of the bookings on our platform to date have come from nights. We believe Nights and Experiences Booked is a key business metric to help investors and others understand and evaluate our results of operations in the same manner as our management team, as it represents a single unit of transaction on our platform.

In the third quarter of 2022, we had 99.7 million Nights and Experiences Booked, a 25% increase from 79.7 million in the same prior year period, and a 16% increase compared to the third quarter of 2019 (pre-COVID-19 pandemic). For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had 305.5 million Nights and Experiences Booked, a 34% increase from 227.2 million in the same prior year period, and a 22% increase compared to the same period of 2019 (pre-COVID-19 pandemic). Nights and Experiences Booked grows as we attract new customers to our platform and as repeat guests increase their activity on our platform. Our Nights and Experiences Booked increased from prior year levels driven by strong growth across all regions.

Gross Booking Value

GBV represents the dollar value of bookings on our platform in a period and is inclusive of Host earnings, service fees, cleaning fees, and taxes, net of cancellations and alterations that occurred during that period. The timing of recording GBV and any related cancellations is similar to that described in the subsection titled “— Key Business Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Nights and Experiences Booked” above. Revenue from the booking is recognized upon check-in; accordingly, GBV is a leading indicator of revenue. The entire amount of a booking is reflected in GBV during the quarter in which booking occurs, whether the guest pays the entire amount of the booking upfront or elects to use our Pay Less Upfront program. Growth in GBV reflects our ability to attract and retain customers and reflects growth in Nights and Experiences Booked.

In the third quarter of 2022, our GBV was $15.6 billion, a 31% increase from $11.9 billion in the same prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our GBV was $49.7 billion, a 40% increase from $35.6 billion in the same prior year period. The increase in our GBV was primarily due to an increase in Nights and Experiences Booked. The travel recovery we are experiencing has been dominated by our higher average daily rate (“ADR”) regions—North America and Europe, in particular. Similar to Nights and Experiences Booked, our GBV improvement was driven by stronger bookings in all regions. On a constant currency basis, the increase in GBV was 40% and 47% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and revenue growth rates in constant currency, which are described below. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP is provided below. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Table of Contents
The following table summarizes our non-GAAP financial measures, along with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, for each period presented below (in thousands):

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
2021202220212022
Net income (loss)$833,893 $1,214,288 $(406,535)$1,574,337

Free Cash Flow$529,228 $959,964 $1,909,900 $2,950,696 

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss adjusted for (i) provision for (benefit from) income taxes; (ii) other income (expense), net, interest expense, and interest income; (iii) depreciation and amortization; (iv) stock-based compensation expense and stock-settlement obligations related to the IPO; (v) acquisition-related impacts consisting of gains (losses) recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements; (vi) net changes to the reserves for lodging taxes for which management believes it is probable that we may be held jointly liable with Hosts for collecting and remitting such taxes; and (vii) restructuring charges.
The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, we have included Adjusted EBITDA in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because it is a key measurement used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluating performance, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting.

Adjusted EBITDA also excludes certain items related to transactional tax matters, for which management believes it is probable that we may be held jointly liable with Hosts in certain jurisdictions, and we urge investors to review the detailed disclosure regarding these matters included in the subsection titled “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Lodging Tax Obligations,” as well as the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These limitations include the following:

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest income (expense) and other income (expense), net, which include loss on extinguishment of debt and unrealized and realized gains and losses on foreign currency exchange, investments, and financial instruments, including the warrants issued in connection with a term loan agreement entered into in April 2020. We amended the anti-dilution feature in the warrant agreements in March 2021. The balance of the warrants of $1.3 billion was reclassified from liability to equity as the amended warrants met the requirements for equity classification and are no longer remeasured at each reporting period;

•Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain recurring, non-cash charges, such as depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, and although these are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect all cash requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

•Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy as well as stock-settlement obligations, which represent employer and related taxes related to the IPO;

•Adjusted EBITDA excludes acquisition-related impacts consisting of gains (losses) recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements. The contingent consideration, which was in the form of equity, was valued as of the acquisition date and is marked-to-market at each reporting period based on factors including our stock price;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect net changes to reserves for lodging taxes for which management believes it is probable that we may be held jointly liable with Hosts for collecting and remitting such taxes; and

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect restructuring charges, which include severance and other employee costs, lease impairments, and contract amendments and terminations.

Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net loss and our other U.S. GAAP results.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $1.5 billion compared to $1.1 billion in the same prior year period. This favorable change was due to our record high revenue combined with continued cost management.

(1)Excludes stock-based compensation related to restructuring, which is included in restructuring charges in the table above.

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. We believe that Free Cash Flow is a meaningful indicator of liquidity that provides information to our management and investors about the amount of cash generated from operations, after purchases of property and equipment, that can be used for strategic initiatives, including continuous investment in our business, growth through acquisitions, and strengthening our balance sheet. Our Free Cash Flow is impacted by the timing of GBV because we collect our service fees at the time of booking, which is generally before a stay or experience occurs. Funds held on behalf of our customers and amounts payable to our customers do not impact Free Cash Flow, except interest earned on these funds. Free Cash Flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of other U.S. GAAP financial measures, such as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. Free Cash Flow does not reflect our ability to meet future contractual commitments and may be calculated differently by other companies in our industry, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, Free Cash Flow was $960.0 million, representing 33% of revenue, compared to $529.2 million, representing 24% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by revenue growth, margin expansion and significant growth in unearned fees.

Constant Currency

In addition to revenue growth rates derived from revenue presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we disclose below the percentage change in our current period revenue from the corresponding prior period by comparing results using constant currencies. We present constant currency revenue growth rate information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying revenue performed excluding the effect of changes in exchange rates. We use the percentage change in constant currency revenues for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe the presentation of revenue on a constant currency basis in addition to the U.S. GAAP presentation helps improve the ability to understand our performance because it excludes the effects of foreign currency volatility that are not indicative of our core operating results. We calculate the percentage change in constant currency by determining the change in the current period revenue over the prior comparable period where current period foreign currency revenue is translated using the exchange rates of the comparative period.

Seasonality

Our business is seasonal, reflecting typical travel behavior patterns over the course of the calendar year. In a typical year, the first, second, and third quarters have higher Nights and Experiences Booked than the fourth quarter, as guests plan for travel during the peak travel season, which is in the third quarter for North America and EMEA. Our business metrics, including GBV and Adjusted EBITDA, can also be impacted by the timing of holidays and other events. We experience seasonality in our GBV that is generally consistent with the seasonality of Nights and Experiences Booked. Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, highest in the third quarter when we have the most check-ins, which is the point at which we recognize revenue. Seasonal trends in our GBV impact Free Cash Flow for any given quarter. Our costs are relatively fixed across quarters or vary in line with the volume of transactions, and we historically achieve our highest GBV in the first and second quarters of the year with comparatively lower check-ins. As a result, increases in unearned fees make our Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow as a percentage of revenue the highest in the first two quarters of the year. We typically see a slight decline in GBV and a peak in check-ins in the third quarter, which results in a decrease in unearned fees and lower sequential level of Free Cash Flow, and a greater decline in GBV in the fourth quarter, where Free Cash Flow is typically lower. As our business matures, other seasonal trends may develop, or these existing seasonal trends may become more extreme.

In 2020 and 2021, we saw COVID-19 overwhelm the historical patterns of seasonality in our GBV, revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow as a result of travel restrictions and changing travel preferences relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. While we have seen COVID-19 distort the historical patterns of seasonality, we are seeing pre-pandemic patterns of seasonality return in 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred $112.1 million in restructuring charges, including $75.3 million related to impairments of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and $37.2 million related to impairments of leasehold improvements. Restructuring charges for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were not material.

In the second quarter of 2022, we announced our shift to a remote work model, allowing our employees to work from anywhere in the country they currently work. The shift to a remote work model was in direct response to the change in how employees work due to the impact of COVID-19. As a result, we recorded restructuring charges of $89.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which include $80.5 million relating to an impairment of both domestic and international operating lease ROU assets, and $8.4 million of related leasehold improvements. Restructuring charges for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were not material.

The provision for income taxes increased $39.0 million and $36.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to increased profitability and the inclusion of the U.S. jurisdictions in the annualized effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $9.6 billion. As of September 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.5 billion, which included $1.8 billion held by our foreign subsidiaries. Cash and cash equivalents consist of checking and interest-bearing accounts and highly-liquid securities with an original maturity of 90 days or less. As of September 30, 2022, marketable securities totaled $2.1 billion. Marketable securities primarily consist of commercial paper, highly-liquid investment grade corporate debt securities, and certificates of deposit. These amounts do not include funds of $4.8 billion as of September 30, 2022 that we held for bookings in advance of guests completing check-ins that we record separately on our condensed consolidated balance sheet in funds receivable and amounts held on behalf of customers with a corresponding liability in funds payable and amounts payable to customers.

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities held outside the United States may be repatriated, subject to certain limitations, and would be available to be used to fund our domestic operations. However, repatriation of such funds may result in additional tax liabilities. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances in the United States are sufficient to fund our working capital needs in the United States.

We have access to $1.0 billion of commitments under the 2022 Credit Facility. As of the date of this filing, no amounts were drawn under the 2022 Credit Facility. See Note 13, Subsequent Events, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of the 2022 Credit Facility entered into on October 31, 2022.

On August 2, 2022, we announced that our board of directors approved a share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to $2.0 billion of our Class A common stock at management’s discretion (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Share repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or accelerated share repurchase transactions or by any combination of such methods. Any such repurchases will be made from time to time subject to market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. The Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date, does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number of shares, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time at our discretion. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased and subsequently retired 8.6 million shares of our common stock for $1.0 billion under the Share Repurchase Program. As of September 30, 2022, we had $1.0 billion available to repurchase shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program.

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our short- and long-term cash requirements. As such, we believe that the cash flows generated from operating activities will meet our anticipated cash requirements. In addition to normal working capital requirements, we anticipate that our short- and long-term cash requirements will include funding capital expenditures, debt repayments, share repurchases, and platform and systems transformation initiatives. We anticipate long-term cash uses may also include strategic acquisitions. On a long-term basis, we would rely on either our access to the capital markets or our credit facility for any long-term funding not provided by operating cash flows.

Convertible Senior Notes

On March 8, 2021, we issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes") pursuant to an indenture, dated March 8, 2021 (the "Indenture"), between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 2026 Notes were offered and sold in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The 2026 Notes are senior unsecured obligations and will not bear regular interest. The 2026 Notes mature on March 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The net proceeds from the 2026 Notes were $1,979.2 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ commissions and debt issuance costs.

The initial conversion rate for the 2026 Notes is 3.4645 shares of our Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $288.64 per share of the Class A common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

The 2026 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 15, 2026 only under the following circumstances:

•during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2021, if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;
•during the five consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period (such 10 consecutive trading day period, the “measurement period”) if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period is less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day;
•upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on our common stock, as described in the offering memorandum in connection with the 2026 Notes;
•or if we call such notes for redemption; and
•at any time from, and including, December 15, 2025 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date.

Upon conversion, we may satisfy our conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of our Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our Class A common stock, at our election, based on the applicable conversion rate. Holders of the 2026 Notes who convert their 2026 Notes in connection with certain corporate events that constitute a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) are, under certain circumstances, entitled to an increase in the conversion rate. Additionally in the event of a corporate event constituting a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the 2026 Notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of their 2026 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being repurchased.

Capped Calls

On March 3, 2021, in connection with the pricing of the 2026 Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Calls”) with certain of the initial purchasers and other financial institutions (the "option counterparties") at a cost of approximately $100.2 million. The Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of Class A common stock initially underlying the 2026 Notes sold in the offering. By entering into the Capped Calls, we expect to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock (or, in the event a conversion of the 2026 Notes is settled in cash, to reduce our cash payment obligation) in the event that at the time of conversion of the 2026 Notes our common stock price exceeds the conversion price of the 2026 Notes. The cap price of the Capped Calls will initially be $360.80 per share of Class A common stock, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock of $180.40 per share on March 3, 2021, and is subject to certain customary adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions. The Capped Calls meet the criteria for classification in equity, are not remeasured each reporting period and are included as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital within stockholders’ equity.

See Note 6, Debt, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information on our outstanding debt.

Table of Contents
Net cash provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $3.0 billion, which is due to net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $1.6 billion, adjusted for non-cash charges, primarily consisting of $676.4 million of stock-based compensation expense, impairment of long-lived assets of $88.9 million, and $83.4 million of foreign exchange losses due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Additional cash was provided by changes in working capital, including a $318.6 million increase in unearned fees resulting from significantly higher bookings and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $261.1 million.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $115.3 million, which was primarily from the proceeds from maturities and sales of marketable securities of $2.4 billion and $709.5 million, respectively, partially offset by the purchases of marketable securities of $3.0 billion.

Net cash provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $75.4 million, primarily reflecting the increase in funds payable and amounts payable to customers of $1.5 billion resulting from significantly higher bookings, partially offset by our share repurchase of $1.0 billion under the Share Repurchase Program, and an increase in the taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards of $491.4 million.

Effect of Exchange Rates

The effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows relates to certain of our assets, principally cash balances held on behalf of customers, that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of certain of our subsidiaries. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2022, we recorded reductions of $159.0 million and $625.9 million, respectively in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. The impact of exchange rate changes on cash balances can serve as a natural hedge for the effect of exchange rates on our liabilities to our guests and Hosts.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As of September 30, 2022, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations, as disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report.

We have various contractual obligations and commitments, such as long-term leases, purchase commitments, long-term debt, and other executory contracts, that are disclosed in the footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 6, Debt, and Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, to our condensed consolidated financial statements, included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for further information regarding these commitments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs, and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 Annual Report, the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

We generate substantially all of our revenue from facilitating guest stays at accommodations offered by Hosts on the Airbnb platform. We consider both Hosts and guests to be our customers. Our revenue is composed of service fees from our customers. Our single performance obligation is identified as the facilitation of a stay, which occurs upon the completion of a check-in event. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied upon check-in.

Revenue is presented net of certain payments we make to customers as part of our referral programs and marketing promotions, collectively referred to as our incentive programs, and refund activities. The payments are generally in the form of coupon credits to be applied toward future bookings or as cash refunds. We encourage the use of our platform and attract new customers through our incentive programs. Under the referral program, the referring party (“referrer”) earns a coupon when the new customer completes their first stay on our platform. We record the incentive as a liability at the time the incentive is earned by the referrer with the corresponding charge recorded to sales and marketing expense. Any amounts paid in excess of the fair value of the referral service received are recorded as a reduction of revenue. Through marketing promotions, we issue customer coupon credits to encourage the use of our platform. After a customer redeems such incentives, we record a reduction to revenue at the date we record the corresponding revenue transaction. From time to time, we issue refunds to customers in the form of cash or credits to be applied toward a future booking. We reduce the transaction

price by the estimated amount of the payments by applying the most likely outcome method based on known facts and circumstances and historical experience. These refunds are recorded as a reduction to revenue.

We evaluate whether the cumulative amount of payments made to customers that are not in exchange for a distinct good or service received from a customer exceeds the cumulative revenue earned since inception of the customer relationship. Any cumulative payments in excess of cumulative revenue are presented as operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have granted stock-based awards consisting primarily of stock options, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees, members of our board of directors, and non-employees. We estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires certain subjective inputs and assumptions, including the fair value of our common stock, exercise price, the expected term, risk-free interest rates, expected stock price volatility, and expected dividend yield of our common stock. The fair value of stock options is recognized as stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. We account for forfeitures as they occur.

The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model are as follows:

•Expected term. We estimate the expected term based on the simplified method.
•Risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
•Expected volatility. We estimate the volatility of our common stock on the date of grant based on the average historical stock price volatility of comparable publicly-traded companies.
•Expected dividend yield. Expected dividend yield is zero, as we have not paid and do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock.

We continue to use judgment in evaluating the expected volatility and expected term utilized in our stock-based compensation expense calculation on a prospective basis. As we continue to accumulate additional data related to our common stock, we may refine our estimates of expected volatility and expected term, which could materially impact our future stock-based compensation expense.

Lodging Tax Obligations

Some states, cities, and localities in the United States and elsewhere in the world impose transient occupancy or lodging accommodations taxes (“lodging taxes”) on the use or occupancy of lodging accommodations or other traveler services. As of September 30, 2022, we collect and remit lodging taxes in approximately 31,300 jurisdictions on behalf of our Hosts, and lodging taxes are primarily collected in the United States and France. Such lodging taxes are generally remitted to tax jurisdictions within a 30 to 90-day period following the end of each month.

In jurisdictions where we do not collect and remit lodging taxes, the responsibility for collecting and remitting these taxes, if applicable, generally rests with Hosts. We estimate liabilities for a certain number of jurisdictions with respect to state, city, and local taxes related to lodging where we believe it is probable that Airbnb could be held jointly liable with Hosts for collecting and remitting such taxes and the related amounts can be reasonably estimated. Our accrued obligations related to lodging taxes, including estimated penalties and taxes, totaled $57.3 million and $64.7 million as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, respectively, and changes to this reserve are recorded in general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We are currently involved in disputes with certain states and localities involving the payment of lodging taxes. These jurisdictions are asserting that we are liable or jointly liable with Hosts to collect and remit lodging taxes. These disputes are in various stages and we continue to vigorously defend these claims. We believe that the statutes at issue impose a lodging tax obligation on the person exercising the taxable privilege of providing accommodations, our Hosts. The ultimate resolution of these lawsuits cannot be determined at this time.

Evaluating potential outcomes for lodging taxes is inherently uncertain and requires us to utilize various judgments, assumptions and estimates in determining our reserves. A variety of factors could affect our potential obligation for collecting and remitting such taxes which include, but are not limited to, whether we determine, or any tax authority asserts, that we have a responsibility to collect lodging and related taxes on either historic or future transactions; the introduction of new ordinances and taxes which subject our operations to such taxes; or the ultimate resolution of any historic claims that may be settled through negotiation. Accordingly, the ultimate resolution of lodging taxes may be greater or less than reserve amounts we have established.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and foreign jurisdictions. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. We account for uncertainty in tax positions by recognizing a tax benefit from uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. Evaluating our uncertain tax positions, determining our provision for income taxes, and evaluating the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, are inherently uncertain and require making judgments, assumptions, and estimates.

While we believe that we have adequately reserved for our uncertain tax positions, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impact the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rate in the period in which such determination is made.

The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves as well as the related net interest and penalties. In addition, we are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the United States Internal Revenue Service
38

Table of Contents
and other tax authorities that may assert assessments against us. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations and assessments to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes.

Goodwill and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. We have one reporting unit. We test goodwill for impairment at least annually, in the fourth quarter, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. As a result of the goodwill impairment assessment, management concluded goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2021 and does not believe that its reporting unit is at risk of failing the impairment test since the fair value of the reporting unit substantially exceeded the carrying value.

Long-lived assets that are held and used by us are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability of long-lived assets is based on an estimate of the undiscounted cash flows resulting from the use of the asset group and its eventual disposition. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, we recognize impairment to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. We determine fair value through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals.

Any impairments to ROU assets, leasehold improvements, or other assets as a result of a sublease, abandonment, or other similar factor are initially recognized when a decision to do so is made and recorded as an operating expense. Similar to other long-lived assets, management tests ROU assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. For lease assets, such circumstances would include subleases that do not fully recover the costs of the associated leases or a decision to abandon the use of all or part of an asset.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a restructuring charge of $112.1 million, which included $75.3 million related to impairments of operating lease ROU assets and $37.2 million related to impairments of leasehold improvements within restructuring charges in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. In the second quarter of 2022, we announced our shift to a remote work model, allowing our employees to work from anywhere in the country they currently work. The shift to a remote work model was in direct response to the change in how employees work due to the impact of COVID-19. As a result, we recorded restructuring charges of $89.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which include $80.5 million relating to an impairment of both domestic and international operating lease ROU assets, and $8.4 million of related leasehold improvements.

Significant judgment and estimates are required in assessing impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, including identifying whether events or changes in circumstances require an impairment assessment, estimating future cash flows, and determining appropriate discount rates. Our estimates of fair value are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our substantial operations around the world expose us to various market risks. These risks primarily include foreign currency risk and investment risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We offer the ability to transact on our platform in over 40 currencies, of which the most significant foreign currencies to our operations in the third quarter of 2022 were the Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, Brazilian Real, and Mexican Peso. Our international revenue, as well as costs and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, expose us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, we are subject to foreign currency risk, which may adversely impact our financial results.

We have foreign currency exchange risks related primarily to:

•revenue and cost of revenue associated with bookings on our platform denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar;
•balances held as funds receivable and amounts held on behalf of customers and funds payable and amounts payable to customers;
•unbilled amounts for confirmed bookings under the terms of our Pay Less Upfront program; and
•intercompany balances primarily related to our payment entities that process customer payments.

For revenue and cost of revenue associated with bookings on our platform outside of the United States, we generally receive net foreign currency amounts and therefore benefit from a weakening of the U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Movements in foreign exchange rates are recorded in other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Furthermore, our platform generally enables guests to make payments in the currency of their choice to the extent that the currency is supported by Airbnb, which may not match the currency in which the Host elects to be paid. As a result, in those cases, we bear the currency risk of both the guest payment as well as the Host payment due to timing differences in such payments.

39

Table of Contents
We enter into foreign currency derivative contracts to protect against foreign exchange risks. Presently, these hedges are primarily designed to manage foreign exchange risk associated with balances held as funds payable and amounts payable to customers and unbilled amounts for confirmed bookings under the terms of our Pay Less Upfront program. These contracts reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rate movements on our assets and liabilities.

We may choose not to hedge the risk associated with our foreign currency exposures, primarily if such exposure acts as a natural hedge for offsetting amounts denominated in the same currency or if the currency is too difficult or too expensive to hedge.

We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in foreign exchange gains and losses related to changes in exchange rates. If our foreign-currency denominated assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenses increase, our results of operations may be more significantly impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates of the currencies in which we do business.

If an adverse 10% foreign currency exchange rate change was applied to total net monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the local currencies as of September 30, 2022, it would have resulted in a loss of approximately $18.9 million.

Investment and Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk related primarily to our investment portfolio. Changes in interest rates affect the interest earned on our total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities and the fair value of those securities.

We had cash and cash equivalents of $7.5 billion and marketable securities of $2.1 billion as of September 30, 2022, which primarily consisted of commercial paper, highly-liquid investment grade corporate debt securities, and certificates of deposit. As of September 30, 2022, we had an additional $4.8 billion that we held for bookings in advance of guests completing check-ins, which we record separately on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as funds receivable and amounts held on behalf of customers. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve capital and meet liquidity requirements without significantly increasing risk. We invest primarily in highly-liquid, investment grade debt securities, and we limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. Because our cash equivalents and marketable securities generally have short maturities, the fair value of our portfolio is relatively insensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Due to the short-term nature of our investments, we have not been exposed to, nor do we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have resulted in a decrease of $9.9 million to our investment portfolio as of September 30, 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired objectives. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are currently involved in, and may in the future be involved in, legal proceedings, claims, and government investigations in the ordinary course of business. These include proceedings, claims, and investigations relating to, among other things, regulatory matters, commercial matters, intellectual property, competition, tax, employment, pricing, discrimination, consumer rights, personal injury, and property rights. See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Depending on the nature of the proceeding, claim, or investigation, we may be subject to monetary damage awards, fines, penalties, or injunctive orders. Furthermore, the outcome of these matters could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. The outcomes of legal proceedings, claims, and government investigations are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant judgment to determine the likelihood and amount of loss related to such matters. While it is not possible to determine the outcomes, we believe based on our current knowledge that the resolution of all such pending matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item IA of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and Part II, Item IA of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, except for the following risk factors which supplement the risk factors disclosed in the reports referenced above. Our business, operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described below, that could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and the trading price of our Class A common stock. You should carefully read and consider the risks and uncertainties included in the reports referenced above in conjunction with the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in such reports and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, and other documents that we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The risks and uncertainties described in these reports may not be the only ones we face. The factors discussed in these reports, among others, could cause our actual results to differ materially from historical results and those expressed in forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf in filings with the SEC, press releases, communications with investors, and oral statements.

We cannot guarantee that our share repurchase program will be utilized to the full value approved or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value.

In August 2022, our Board authorized a share repurchase program authorizing the purchase of up to $2.0 billion of our Class A common stock at management’s discretion. Share repurchases may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or accelerated share repurchase transactions or by any combination of such methods. Any such repurchases will be made from time to time subject to market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. The manner, timing and amount of any share repurchases may fluctuate and will be determined by us based on a variety of factors, including the market price of our common stock, our priorities for the use of cash to support our business operations and plans, general business and market conditions, tax laws, and alternative investment opportunities, all of which may be further impacted by macroeconomic conditions and factors, including rising interest rates and inflation, global conflicts, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Our share repurchase program authorization does not have an expiration date nor does it obligate us to acquire any specific number or dollar value of shares. Our share repurchase program may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time, which may result in a decrease in the trading prices of our common stock. Additionally, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 introduced a 1% excise tax on share repurchases, which would increase the costs associated with repurchasing shares of our common stock. Even if our share repurchase program is fully implemented, it may not enhance long-term stockholder value or may not prove to be the best use of our cash. Share repurchases could have an impact on our share trading prices, increase the volatility of the price of our common stock, or reduce our available cash balance such that we will be required to seek financing to support our operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Item 5. Other Information

2022 Credit Facility and Termination of the 2020 Credit Facility

On October 31, 2022, we and certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors, entered into a five-year unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement, which provides for initial commitments by a group of lenders led by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. of $1.0 billion (“2022 Credit Facility”). The 2022 Credit Facility provides a $200.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit. The 2022 Credit Facility has a commitment fee based on ratings and leverage ratios with amounts that range from 0.10% to 0.20% per annum on any undrawn amounts, payable quarterly in arrears. Interest on borrowings is based on ratings and leverage ratios with amounts that range from (i) in the case of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) borrowings, 1.0% to 1.5%, plus SOFR, subject to a floor of 0%, or (ii) in the case of base rate borrowings, 0.0% to 0.5%; plus the greatest of (a) the rate of interest in effect for such day by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. as its “prime rate”; (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%; and (c) SOFR for a one-month period plus 1.0%. Outstanding balances may be repaid prior to maturity without penalty. The 2022 Credit Facility contains customary events of default, affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to incur debt and liens, undergo fundamental changes, as well as certain financial covenants. In connection with the consummation of the 2022 Credit Facility, we terminated the 2020 Credit Facility on October 31, 2022.

The foregoing summary of the 2022 Credit Facility does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Revolving Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.

and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock at a purchase price per share of Class A Common Stock equal to the Exercise Price. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Shares”) for which the Warrant is exercisable is subject to adjustment as provided herein, and all references to “Class A Common Stock” and “Shares” herein shall be deemed to include any such adjustment or series of adjustments. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a Deemed Liquidation Event or other transaction by the Corporation, such exercise may at the election of the Warrantholder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction. The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that as of December 14, 2020, there has not occurred any event of the type that would require an adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 12 of the Warrant other than (1) the Stock Split and (2) any event in respect of which the applicable subsection of Section 12 of the Warrant has been waived in accordance with Section 18 of the Warrant.
3.Exercise of Warrant; Term.
(i)Subject to Section 2, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the right to purchase the Shares represented by this Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part by the Warrantholder, at any time after the date hereof, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, April 17, 2030 (the “Expiration Time”), by (A) the surrender of this Warrant and Notice of Exercise annexed hereto, duly completed and executed on behalf of the Warrantholder, at the principal executive office of the Corporation located at 888 Brannan Street Suite 4 San Francisco, CA 94103 (or such other office or agency of the Corporation in the United States as it may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder at the address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Corporation), and (B) payment of the Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3(ii).
(ii)The payment of the Exercise Price may be made, at the election of the Warrantholder, (A) by tendering in cash, by certified or cashier’s check payable to the order of the Corporation, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Corporation or (B) on a “cashless basis,” by surrendering Shares for that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Shares surrendered, multiplied by the difference between the Exercise Price and the Market Price by (b) the Market Price; provided, that, if the difference between the Exercise Price and the Market Price is equal to zero or a negative number (i.e., the Exercise Price is greater than the Market Price), then the Warrant holder shall not be entitled to receive any Shares pursuant to a “cashless” exercise in accordance with this Section 3(ii).
(iii)If the Warrantholder does not exercise this Warrant in its entirety, the Warrantholder will be entitled to receive from the Corporation within a reasonable time, and in any event not exceeding three business days, a new warrant in substantially identical form for the purchase of that number of Shares equal to the difference between the number of Shares subject to this Warrant and the number of Shares as to which this Warrant is so exercised. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, the Warrantholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that its exercise of this Warrant for Shares is subject to the condition that the Warrantholder will have first received any applicable Regulatory Approvals.
4.Issuance of Shares; Authorization; Listing. Certificates for Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant will be issued in such name or names, subject to compliance with Section 8, as the Warrantholder may designate and will be delivered to such named Person or Persons within a reasonable time, not to exceed two Business Days after the date on which this Warrant has been duly exercised in accordance with the terms of this Warrant. The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that any Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges (other than liens or charges created by the Warrantholder, income and franchise taxes incurred by the Warrantholder in connection with the exercise of the Warrant or taxes incurred by the Warrantholder in respect of any transfer of Shares occurring contemporaneously therewith). The Corporation agrees that the Shares so issued will be deemed for all purposes to have been issued to the Warrantholder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price are delivered to the Corporation in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Corporation may then be closed or certificates representing such Shares may not be actually delivered


on such date. The Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of this Warrant, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, and will not take or permit any action that would result in an increase in the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant without first properly authorizing and reserving any additional shares of Class A Common Stock necessary to comply with this Section 4. The Corporation will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Shares may be issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of any securities exchange on which the Shares are listed or traded, and, to the extent such Shares are listed or traded, to cause the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, as soon as reasonably practical after such exercise, to be listed on any such securities exchange. The Corporation and the Warrantholder will reasonably cooperate to take such other actions as are necessary to obtain any Regulatory Approvals or other approvals or authorizations of any Governmental Entities applicable to Warrantholder’s exercise of its rights hereunder, including those applicable to the Corporation with respect to the issuance of the Shares. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment pursuant to Section 12 to reduce the Exercise Price below the then par value (if any) of the Class A Common Stock, the Corporation shall take any and all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock at the Exercise Price as so adjusted.
5.No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Shares or scrip representing fractional Shares shall be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional Share to which the Warrantholder would otherwise be entitled, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to (i) the Market Price of one share of Class A Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the date of exercise less the Exercise Price for one such share, multiplied by (ii) the relevant fraction.
6.No Rights as Stockholders; Transfer Books. This Warrant does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Corporation prior to the date of exercise hereof. The Corporation will at no time close its transfer books in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
7.Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Shares to the Warrantholder upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Corporation.
8.Transfer/Assignment.
i)Subject to compliance with clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 8, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, by the registered holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney. Following any transfer that is permissible in accordance with the Transfer Restrictions Agreement, the Warrantholder shall provide the Corporation notice thereof and, if the Warrantholder requests, a new warrant shall be made and delivered by the Corporation, of the same tenor and date as this Warrant but registered in the name of one or more transferees, upon surrender of this Warrant, duly endorsed, to the office or agency of the Corporation described in Section 3. All expenses (other than stock transfer taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the new warrants pursuant to this Section 8 shall be paid by the Corporation.
ii)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Warrant and all rights hereunder, and any Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, are subject to the applicable restrictions on transfer and other provisions as set forth in the Transfer Restrictions Agreement, which the parties executed and delivered in connection with the issuance of the Original Warrant.
iii)If and for so long as required by the Transfer Restrictions Agreement, this Warrant and any Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend in the form required by and as set forth in the Transfer Restrictions Agreement.
9.Exchange and Registry of Warrant. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Warrantholder to the Corporation and without payment of any charge, for a new warrant or


warrants of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Shares. The Corporation shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the Warrantholder as the registered holder of this Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange or exercise, in accordance with its terms, at the office of the Corporation, and the Corporation shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.
10.Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of a bond, indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Corporation shall make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Shares as provided for in such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.
11.Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.
12.Adjustments and Other Rights. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided, that if more than one subsection of this Section 12 is applicable to a single event and the application of more than one subsection would result in duplication of the appropriate adjustment from such event, the Adjustment Notice (as defined below) shall so indicate and the Warrantholder shall elect by written notice to the Corporation which subsection of this Section 12 shall apply, with the Corporation and the Warrantholder bound by the Warrantholder’s election:
(i)Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Corporation shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Warrantholder, effective as of the close of business on such date, shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant after such date had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such date. In such event, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
(ii)Certain Issuances of Common Shares or Convertible Securities. If the Corporation shall issue shares of Common Stock (or rights or warrants or other securities exercisable or convertible into or exchangeable (collectively, a “conversion”) for shares of Common Stock) (collectively, “convertible securities”) (other than in a Permitted Transaction or a transaction to which subsection (i) of this Section 12 is applicable) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exercise price per share) that is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of such shares (or such convertible securities) (the “Pre-Issuance Exercise Price”) then, in such event, (A) there shall be calculated a fraction (I) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of
Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding on such date and (y) the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued (or into which convertible securities may be exercised or convert) and (II) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration receivable by the


Corporation for the total number of shares of Common Stock so issued (or into which convertible securities may be exercised or convert) would purchase at the Pre-Issuance Exercise Price (such fraction, the “Adjustment Factor”); and (B) the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Pre-Issuance Exercise Price by the Adjustment Factor. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment shall be implemented under this subsection unless the Adjustment Factor is less than 1.0. For purposes of the foregoing calculations, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options (as defined in the Restated Certificate) outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (as defined in the Restated Certificate) (including the Preferred Stock (as defined in the Restated Certificate)) outstanding(assuming exercise of any outstanding Options (as defined in the Restated Certificate) therefor) immediately prior to such issuance shall be treated as outstanding shares of Common Stock.
For purposes of the foregoing, (a) “Permitted Transactions” shall mean issuances of Exempted Securities; and (b) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock or convertible securities without consideration, the consideration shall be deemed to be the par value per share of Class A Common Stock. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 12(ii) shall become effective immediately upon the date of such issuance.
Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised, unconverted or unexchanged convertible security (or portion thereof) the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment pursuant to this Section 12(ii), the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be recalculated assuming such convertible security (or portion thereof) had never been issued and such adjustment so recalculated shall become effective immediately upon the date of such expiration or termination.
(iii)Other Distributions. In case the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock of securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants (excluding dividends or distributions referred to in Section 12(i)), in each such case, the Exercise Price in effect prior to such record date shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the reduction by the quotient of (x) the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades without the right to receive such distribution, minus the amount of cash or publicly traded securities or the Fair Market Value of any non-publicly traded securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock (the “Per Share Fair Market Value”) divided by (y) such Market Price on such date specified in clause (x); such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In such event, the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the distribution giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, cash or warrants, as the case may be, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect and the number of Shares that would then be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant if such record date had not been fixed.
(iv)Certain Repurchases of Common Stock. In case the Corporation effects a Pro Rata Repurchase of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such Pro Rata Repurchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Pro Rata Repurchase and (y) the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase, minus (ii) the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, and of which the denominator shall be the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase minus the number of shares of Common Stock so repurchased and (ii) the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the


Corporation or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase. In such event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Pro Rata Repurchase giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
(v)Deemed Liquidation Event. In the event the Corporation is a party to any Deemed Liquidation Event, the Corporation shall give the Warrantholder at least 10 days’ advance written notice (each, a “Transaction Notice”) of the anticipated date for such Deemed Liquidation Event. If the Corporation has delivered a Transaction Notice and the Warrantholder has not elected to exercise this Warrant under Section 3 in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event, or if the Expiration Time is set to occur prior the consummation of such Deemed Liquidation Event, then upon the effective date of, and immediately prior to, the consummation of such Deemed Liquidation Event or immediately prior to such Expiration Time, as applicable, this Warrant shall be automatically deemed to be exercised in full on a “cashless basis” pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3(ii) (provided, that the Market Price of one share of Class A Common Stock shall be deemed to be equal to the applicable aggregate consideration in respect of one share of Class A Common Stock that is payable upon the closing of such Deemed Liquidation Event (based on the amount of any such consideration in the form of cash or publicly traded securities and the Fair Market Value of any such consideration in the form of non-publicly traded securities or other property or assets)); provided, that if, at such time such applicable aggregate consideration in respect of one share of Class A Common Stock is less than the Exercise Price, then this Warrant shall instead cease to be exercisable and shall terminate in full for no consideration.
(vi)Liquidation. In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation, or if any other dissolution of the Corporation by operation of law is effected, then each Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive any applicable distributions with respect to its Warrant on an equal basis with the holders of Class A Common Stock, as if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such event, less the aggregate applicable Exercise Price. Nothing in this subsection (vi) shall have the effect of requiring a Warrantholder to make any actual payment to the Corporation.
(vii)Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 12 but not expressly provided for by such provisions occurs, then the Corporation shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Warrantholder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 12; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 12(vii) shall decrease the number of Shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant.
(viii)Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments. All calculations under this Section 12 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent or to the nearest one-hundred thousandth (1/100,000th) of a share, as the case may be. Any provision of this Section 12 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than the greater of $0.01 or one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share of Class A Common Stock, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or 1/10,000th of a share of Class A Common Stock, or more.
(ix)Timing of Issuance of Additional Class A Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 12 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Warrantholder of this Warrant exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Warrantholder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Class A Common Stock; provided, however, that the Corporation upon request shall deliver to such Warrantholder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing


such Warrantholder’s right to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(x)Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in Section 12, the Corporation shall forthwith file at the principal office of the Corporation a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect and the number of Shares or type of other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment, and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such statement to be provided to each Warrantholder in the manner described in Section 19.
(xi)Notice of Adjustment Event. In the event that the Corporation shall (x) propose to take any action of the type described in this Section 12 (but only if the action of the type described in this Section 12 would result in an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable or a change in the type of securities or property to be delivered upon exercise of this Warrant), the Corporation shall in any such case give prior written notice (an “Adjustment Notice”) to the Warrantholder, in the manner set forth in Section 19, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action, the approximate date on which such action is to take place, and a description of such action in reasonable detail. Such notice shall also set forth the facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the case of any such action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the date so fixed (provided that, with respect to any applicable stock split, subdivision, reclassification of combination described in Section 12(i), such notice shall be given on the date so fixed), and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the taking of such proposed action. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action.
(xii)Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 12, the Corporation shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory, stock exchange or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Corporation may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Common Stock or other securities or property that the Warrantholder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 12.
(xiii)Adjustment Rules. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 12 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur. If an adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of the Class A Common Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of the Class A Common Stock.
13.Letter Agreement. In connection with the issuance of the Original Warrant, the Warrantholder and the Corporation have executed and delivered a letter agreement, dated as of April 6, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Warrantholder and the Corporation executed and delivered amendments to the Investor Rights Agreement and ROFR and Co-Sale Agreement, providing that the Warrantholder may, in certain circumstances, be deemed to be, and may, in certain circumstances, have the rights and obligations of, (i) a “Major Investor” for purposes of the Investor Rights Agreement and (ii) an “Investor” (as defined in the ROFR and Co-Sale Agreement) for purposes of the ROFR and Co-Sale Agreement, in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such amendments, as applicable.

3.Exercise of Warrant; Term.
(i)Subject to Section 2, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the right to purchase the Shares represented by this Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part by the Warrantholder, at any time after the date hereof, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, April 17, 2030 (the “Expiration Time”), by (A) the surrender of this Warrant and Notice of Exercise annexed hereto, duly completed and executed on behalf of the Warrantholder, at the principal executive office of the Corporation located at 888 Brannan Street Suite 4 San Francisco, CA 94103 (or such other office or agency of the Corporation in the United States as it may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder at the address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Corporation), and (B) payment of the Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3(ii).
(ii)The payment of the Exercise Price may be made, at the election of the Warrantholder, (A) by tendering in cash, by certified or cashier’s check payable to the order of the Corporation, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Corporation or (B) on a “cashless basis,” by surrendering Shares for that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Shares surrendered, multiplied by the difference between the Exercise Price and the Market Price by (b) the Market Price; provided, that, if the difference between the Exercise Price and the Market Price is equal to zero or a negative number (i.e., the Exercise Price is greater than the Market Price), then the Warrant holder shall not be entitled to receive any Shares pursuant to a “cashless” exercise in accordance with this Section 3(ii).
(iii)If the Warrantholder does not exercise this Warrant in its entirety, the Warrantholder will be entitled to receive from the Corporation within a reasonable time, and in any event not exceeding three business days, a new warrant in substantially identical form for the purchase of that number of Shares equal to the difference between the number of Shares subject to this Warrant and the number of Shares as to which this Warrant is so exercised. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, the Warrantholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that its exercise of this Warrant for Shares is subject to the condition that the Warrantholder will have first received any applicable Regulatory Approvals.
4.Issuance of Shares; Authorization; Listing. Certificates for Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant will be issued in such name or names, subject to compliance with Section 8, as the Warrantholder may designate and will be delivered to such named Person or Persons within a reasonable time, not to exceed two Business Days after the date on which this Warrant has been duly exercised in accordance with the terms of this Warrant. The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that any Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges (other than liens or charges created by the Warrantholder, income and franchise taxes incurred by the Warrantholder in connection with the exercise of the Warrant or taxes incurred by the Warrantholder in respect of any transfer of Shares occurring contemporaneously therewith). The Corporation agrees that the Shares so issued will be deemed for all purposes to have been issued to the Warrantholder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price are delivered to the Corporation in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Corporation may then be closed or certificates representing such Shares may not be actually delivered


on such date. The Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of this Warrant, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, and will not take or permit any action that would result in an increase in the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant without first properly authorizing and reserving any additional shares of Class A Common Stock necessary to comply with this Section 4. The Corporation will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Shares may be issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of any securities exchange on which the Shares are listed or traded, and, to the extent such Shares are listed or traded, to cause the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, as soon as reasonably practical after such exercise, to be listed on any such securities exchange. The Corporation and the Warrantholder will reasonably cooperate to take such other actions as are necessary to obtain any Regulatory Approvals or other approvals or authorizations of any Governmental Entities applicable to Warrantholder’s exercise of its rights hereunder, including those applicable to the Corporation with respect to the issuance of the Shares. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment pursuant to Section 12 to reduce the Exercise Price below the then par value (if any) of the Class A Common Stock, the Corporation shall take any and all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock at the Exercise Price as so adjusted.
5.No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Shares or scrip representing fractional Shares shall be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional Share to which the Warrantholder would otherwise be entitled, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to (i) the Market Price of one share of Class A Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the date of exercise less the Exercise Price for one such share, multiplied by (ii) the relevant fraction.
6.No Rights as Stockholders; Transfer Books. This Warrant does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Corporation prior to the date of exercise hereof. The Corporation will at no time close its transfer books in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
7.Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Shares to the Warrantholder upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Corporation.
8.Transfer/Assignment.
i)Subject to compliance with clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 8, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, by the registered holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney. Following any transfer that is permissible in accordance with the Transfer Restrictions Agreement, the Warrantholder shall provide the Corporation notice thereof and, if the Warrantholder requests, a new warrant shall be made and delivered by the Corporation, of the same tenor and date as this Warrant but registered in the name of one or more transferees, upon surrender of this Warrant, duly endorsed, to the office or agency of the Corporation described in Section 3. All expenses (other than stock transfer taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the new warrants pursuant to this Section 8 shall be paid by the Corporation.
ii)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Warrant and all rights hereunder, and any Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, are subject to the applicable restrictions on transfer and other provisions as set forth in the Transfer Restrictions Agreement, which the parties executed and delivered in connection with the issuance of the Original Warrant.
iii)If and for so long as required by the Transfer Restrictions Agreement, this Warrant and any Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend in the form required by and as set forth in the Transfer Restrictions Agreement.
9.Exchange and Registry of Warrant. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Warrantholder to the Corporation and without payment of any charge, for a new warrant or


warrants of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Shares. The Corporation shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the Warrantholder as the registered holder of this Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange or exercise, in accordance with its terms, at the office of the Corporation, and the Corporation shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.
10.Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of a bond, indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Corporation shall make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Shares as provided for in such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.
11.Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.
12.Adjustments and Other Rights. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided, that if more than one subsection of this Section 12 is applicable to a single event and the application of more than one subsection would result in duplication of the appropriate adjustment from such event, the Adjustment Notice (as defined below) shall so indicate and the Warrantholder shall elect by written notice to the Corporation which subsection of this Section 12 shall apply, with the Corporation and the Warrantholder bound by the Warrantholder’s election:
(i)Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Corporation shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Warrantholder, effective as of the close of business on such date, shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant after such date had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such date. In such event, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
(ii)Certain Issuances of Common Shares or Convertible Securities. If the Corporation shall issue shares of Common Stock (or rights or warrants or other securities exercisable or convertible into or exchangeable (collectively, a “conversion”) for shares of Common Stock) (collectively, “convertible securities”) (other than in a Permitted Transaction or a transaction to which subsection (i) of this Section 12 is applicable) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exercise price per share) that is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of such shares (or such convertible securities) (the “Pre-Issuance Exercise Price”) then, in such event, (A) there shall be calculated a fraction (I) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of
Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding on such date and (y) the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued (or into which convertible securities may be exercised or convert) and (II) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration receivable by the


Corporation for the total number of shares of Common Stock so issued (or into which convertible securities may be exercised or convert) would purchase at the Pre-Issuance Exercise Price (such fraction, the “Adjustment Factor”); and (B) the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Pre-Issuance Exercise Price by the Adjustment Factor. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment shall be implemented under this subsection unless the Adjustment Factor is less than 1.0. For purposes of the foregoing calculations, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options (as defined in the Restated Certificate) outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (as defined in the Restated Certificate) (including the Preferred Stock (as defined in the Restated Certificate)) outstanding(assuming exercise of any outstanding Options (as defined in the Restated Certificate) therefor) immediately prior to such issuance shall be treated as outstanding shares of Common Stock.
For purposes of the foregoing, (a) “Permitted Transactions” shall mean issuances of Exempted Securities; and (b) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock or convertible securities without consideration, the consideration shall be deemed to be the par value per share of Class A Common Stock. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 12(ii) shall become effective immediately upon the date of such issuance.
Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised, unconverted or unexchanged convertible security (or portion thereof) the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment pursuant to this Section 12(ii), the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be recalculated assuming such convertible security (or portion thereof) had never been issued and such adjustment so recalculated shall become effective immediately upon the date of such expiration or termination.
(iii)Other Distributions. In case the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock of securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants (excluding dividends or distributions referred to in Section 12(i)), in each such case, the Exercise Price in effect prior to such record date shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the reduction by the quotient of (x) the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades without the right to receive such distribution, minus the amount of cash or publicly traded securities or the Fair Market Value of any non-publicly traded securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock (the “Per Share Fair Market Value”) divided by (y) such Market Price on such date specified in clause (x); such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In such event, the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the distribution giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, cash or warrants, as the case may be, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect and the number of Shares that would then be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant if such record date had not been fixed.
(iv)Certain Repurchases of Common Stock. In case the Corporation effects a Pro Rata Repurchase of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such Pro Rata Repurchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Pro Rata Repurchase and (y) the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase, minus (ii) the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, and of which the denominator shall be the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase minus the number of shares of Common Stock so repurchased and (ii) the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the


Corporation or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase. In such event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Pro Rata Repurchase giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
(v)Deemed Liquidation Event. In the event the Corporation is a party to any Deemed Liquidation Event, the Corporation shall give the Warrantholder at least 10 days’ advance written notice (each, a “Transaction Notice”) of the anticipated date for such Deemed Liquidation Event. If the Corporation has delivered a Transaction Notice and the Warrantholder has not elected to exercise this Warrant under Section 3 in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event, or if the Expiration Time is set to occur prior the consummation of such Deemed Liquidation Event, then upon the effective date of, and immediately prior to, the consummation of such Deemed Liquidation Event or immediately prior to such Expiration Time, as applicable, this Warrant shall be automatically deemed to be exercised in full on a “cashless basis” pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3(ii) (provided, that the Market Price of one share of Class A Common Stock shall be deemed to be equal to the applicable aggregate consideration in respect of one share of Class A Common Stock that is payable upon the closing of such Deemed Liquidation Event (based on the amount of any such consideration in the form of cash or publicly traded securities and the Fair Market Value of any such consideration in the form of non-publicly traded securities or other property or assets)); provided, that if, at such time such applicable aggregate consideration in respect of one share of Class A Common Stock is less than the Exercise Price, then this Warrant shall instead cease to be exercisable and shall terminate in full for no consideration.
(vi)Liquidation. In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation, or if any other dissolution of the Corporation by operation of law is effected, then each Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive any applicable distributions with respect to its Warrant on an equal basis with the holders of Class A Common Stock, as if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such event, less the aggregate applicable Exercise Price. Nothing in this subsection (vi) shall have the effect of requiring a Warrantholder to make any actual payment to the Corporation.
(vii)Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 12 but not expressly provided for by such provisions occurs, then the Corporation shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Warrantholder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 12; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 12(vii) shall decrease the number of Shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant.
(viii)Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments. All calculations under this Section 12 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent or to the nearest one-hundred thousandth (1/100,000th) of a share, as the case may be. Any provision of this Section 12 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than the greater of $0.01 or one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share of Class A Common Stock, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or 1/10,000th of a share of Class A Common Stock, or more.
(ix)Timing of Issuance of Additional Class A Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 12 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Warrantholder of this Warrant exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Warrantholder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Class A Common Stock; provided, however, that the Corporation upon request shall deliver to such Warrantholder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing


such Warrantholder’s right to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(x)Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in Section 12, the Corporation shall forthwith file at the principal office of the Corporation a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect and the number of Shares or type of other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment, and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such statement to be provided to each Warrantholder in the manner described in Section 19.
(xi)Notice of Adjustment Event. In the event that the Corporation shall (x) propose to take any action of the type described in this Section 12 (but only if the action of the type described in this Section 12 would result in an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable or a change in the type of securities or property to be delivered upon exercise of this Warrant), the Corporation shall in any such case give prior written notice (an “Adjustment Notice”) to the Warrantholder, in the manner set forth in Section 19, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action, the approximate date on which such action is to take place, and a description of such action in reasonable detail. Such notice shall also set forth the facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the case of any such action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the date so fixed (provided that, with respect to any applicable stock split, subdivision, reclassification of combination described in Section 12(i), such notice shall be given on the date so fixed), and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the taking of such proposed action. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action.
(xii)Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 12, the Corporation shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory, stock exchange or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Corporation may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Common Stock or other securities or property that the Warrantholder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 12.
(xiii)Adjustment Rules. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 12 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur. If an adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of the Class A Common Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of the Class A Common Stock.
13.Letter Agreement. In connection with the issuance of the Original Warrant, an affiliate of the Warrantholder, TCS Finance (A), LLC (“TCS Finance (A)”) and the Corporation have executed and delivered a letter agreement, dated as of April 6, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, TCS Finance (A) and the Corporation executed and delivered amendments to the Investor Rights Agreement and ROFR and Co-Sale Agreement, providing that TCS Finance (A), and the Warrantholder, as an Affiliate of TCS Finance (A), may, in certain circumstances, be deemed to be, and may, in certain circumstances, have the rights and obligations of, (i) a “Major Investor” for purposes of the Investor Rights Agreement and (ii) an “Investor” (as defined in the ROFR and Co-Sale Agreement) for purposes of the ROFR and Co-Sale Agreement, in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such amendments, as applicable.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties hereto hereby unconditionally waives trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Warrant.
16.Binding Effect. This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the Corporation.
17.Equitable Relief. Each party hereto acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by it of any of its obligations under this Warrant would give rise to irreparable harm to the other party for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such party of any such obligations, the other party shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction.

2.Number of Shares; Exercise Price. The Corporation and the Warrantholder (as defined below) hereby acknowledge that on October 26, 2020, the Corporation effected a 2-for-1 stock split with respect to its issued and outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock (the “Stock Split”), and as a result, for value received, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC or its permitted assigns (the “Warrantholder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth herein, to acquire from the Corporation, in whole or in part, at any time after the date hereof, up to an aggregate of 330,683 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock at a purchase price per share of Class A Common Stock equal to the Exercise Price. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Shares”) for which the Warrant is exercisable is subject to adjustment as provided herein, and all references to “Class A Common Stock” and “Shares” herein shall be deemed to include any such adjustment or series of adjustments. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a Deemed Liquidation Event or other transaction by the Corporation, such exercise may at the election of the Warrantholder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction. The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that as of December 14, 2020, there has not occurred any event of the type that would require an adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 12 of the Warrant other than (1) the Stock Split and (2) any event in respect of which the applicable subsection of Section 12 of the Warrant has been waived in accordance with Section 18 of the Warrant.
3.Exercise of Warrant; Term.
(i)Subject to Section 2, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the right to purchase the Shares represented by this Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part by the Warrantholder, at any time after the date hereof, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, April 17, 2030 (the “Expiration Time”), by (A) the surrender of this Warrant and Notice of Exercise annexed hereto, duly completed and executed on behalf of the Warrantholder, at the principal executive office of the Corporation located at 888 Brannan Street Suite 4 San Francisco, CA 94103 (or such other office or agency of the Corporation in the United States as it may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder at the address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Corporation), and (B) payment of the Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3(ii).
(ii)The payment of the Exercise Price may be made, at the election of the Warrantholder, (A) by tendering in cash, by certified or cashier’s check payable to the order of the Corporation, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Corporation or (B) on a “cashless basis,” by surrendering Shares for that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Shares surrendered, multiplied by the difference between the Exercise Price and the Market Price by (b) the Market Price; provided, that, if the difference between the Exercise Price and the Market Price is equal to zero or a negative number (i.e., the Exercise Price is greater than the Market Price), then the Warrant holder shall not be entitled to receive any Shares pursuant to a “cashless” exercise in accordance with this Section 3(ii).
(iii)If the Warrantholder does not exercise this Warrant in its entirety, the Warrantholder will be entitled to receive from the Corporation within a reasonable time, and in any event not exceeding three business days, a new warrant in substantially identical form for the purchase of that number of Shares equal to the difference between the number of Shares subject to this Warrant and the number of Shares as to which this Warrant is so exercised. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, the Warrantholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that its exercise of this Warrant for Shares is subject to the condition that the Warrantholder will have first received any applicable Regulatory Approvals.
4.Issuance of Shares; Authorization; Listing. Certificates for Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant will be issued in such name or names, subject to compliance with Section 8, as the Warrantholder may designate and will be delivered to such named Person or Persons within a reasonable time, not to exceed two Business Days after the date on which this Warrant has been duly exercised in

    

accordance with the terms of this Warrant. The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that any Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges (other than liens or charges created by the Warrantholder, income and franchise taxes incurred by the Warrantholder in connection with the exercise of the Warrant or taxes incurred by the Warrantholder in respect of any transfer of Shares occurring contemporaneously therewith). The Corporation agrees that the Shares so issued will be deemed for all purposes to have been issued to the Warrantholder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price are delivered to the Corporation in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Corporation may then be closed or certificates representing such Shares may not be actually delivered on such date. The Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of this Warrant, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, and will not take or permit any action that would result in an increase in the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant without first properly authorizing and reserving any additional shares of Class A Common Stock necessary to comply with this Section 4. The Corporation will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Shares may be issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of any securities exchange on which the Shares are listed or traded, and, to the extent such Shares are listed or traded, to cause the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, as soon as reasonably practical after such exercise, to be listed on any such securities exchange. The Corporation and the Warrantholder will reasonably cooperate to take such other actions as are necessary to obtain any Regulatory Approvals or other approvals or authorizations of any Governmental Entities applicable to Warrantholder’s exercise of its rights hereunder, including those applicable to the Corporation with respect to the issuance of the Shares. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment pursuant to Section 12 to reduce the Exercise Price below the then par value (if any) of the Class A Common Stock, the Corporation shall take any and all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock at the Exercise Price as so adjusted.
5.No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Shares or scrip representing fractional Shares shall be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional Share to which the Warrantholder would otherwise be entitled, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to (i) the Market Price of one share of Class A Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the date of exercise less the Exercise Price for one such share, multiplied by (ii) the relevant fraction.
6.No Rights as Stockholders; Transfer Books. This Warrant does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Corporation prior to the date of exercise hereof. The Corporation will at no time close its transfer books in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
7.Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Shares to the Warrantholder upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Corporation.
8.Transfer/Assignment.
i)Subject to compliance with clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 8, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, by the registered holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney. Following any transfer that is permissible in accordance with the Transfer Restrictions Agreements, the Warrantholder shall provide the Corporation notice thereof and, if the Warrantholder requests, a new warrant shall be made and delivered by the Corporation, of the same tenor and date as this Warrant but registered in the name of one or more transferees, upon surrender of this Warrant, duly endorsed, to the office or agency of the Corporation described in Section 3. All expenses (other than stock transfer taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the new warrants pursuant to this Section 8 shall be paid by the Corporation.

    

i)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Warrant and all rights hereunder, and any Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, are subject to the applicable restrictions on transfer and other provisions as set forth in the Transfer Restrictions Agreements, which TCS Finance 1, LLC, TCS Finance (A), LLC and the Corporation executed and delivered in connection with the issuance of the Original Warrants.
ii)If and for so long as required by the Transfer Restrictions Agreements, this Warrant and any Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend in the form required by and as set forth in the Transfer Restrictions Agreements.
9.Exchange and Registry of Warrant. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Warrantholder to the Corporation and without payment of any charge, for a new warrant or warrants of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Shares. The Corporation shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the Warrantholder as the registered holder of this Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange or exercise, in accordance with its terms, at the office of the Corporation, and the Corporation shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.
10.Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of a bond, indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Corporation shall make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Shares as provided for in such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.
11.Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.
12.Adjustments and Other Rights. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided, that if more than one subsection of this Section 12 is applicable to a single event and the application of more than one subsection would result in duplication of the appropriate adjustment from such event, the Adjustment Notice (as defined below) shall so indicate and the Warrantholder shall elect by written notice to the Corporation which subsection of this Section 12 shall apply, with the Corporation and the Warrantholder bound by the Warrantholder’s election:
(i)Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Corporation shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Warrantholder, effective as of the close of business on such date, shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant after such date had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such date. In such event, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
(ii)Certain Issuances of Common Shares or Convertible Securities. If the Corporation shall issue shares of Common Stock (or rights or warrants or other securities exercisable or convertible into or

    

exchangeable (collectively, a “conversion”) for shares of Common Stock) (collectively, “convertible securities”) (other than in a Permitted Transaction or a transaction to which subsection (i) of this Section 12 is applicable) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exercise price per share) that is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of such shares (or such convertible securities) (the “Pre-Issuance Exercise Price”) then, in such event, (A) there shall be calculated a fraction (I) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of
Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding on such date and (y) the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued (or into which convertible securities may be exercised or convert) and (II) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration receivable by the Corporation for the total number of shares of Common Stock so issued (or into which convertible securities may be exercised or convert) would purchase at the Pre-Issuance Exercise Price (such fraction, the “Adjustment Factor”); and (B) the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Pre-Issuance Exercise Price by the Adjustment Factor. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment shall be implemented under this subsection unless the Adjustment Factor is less than 1.0. For purposes of the foregoing calculations, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options (as defined in the Restated Certificate) outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (as defined in the Restated Certificate) (including the Preferred Stock (as defined in the Restated Certificate)) outstanding(assuming exercise of any outstanding Options (as defined in the Restated Certificate) therefor) immediately prior to such issuance shall be treated as outstanding shares of Common Stock.
For purposes of the foregoing, (a) “Permitted Transactions” shall mean issuances of Exempted Securities; and (b) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock or convertible securities without consideration, the consideration shall be deemed to be the par value per share of Class A Common Stock. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 12(ii) shall become effective immediately upon the date of such issuance.
Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised, unconverted or unexchanged convertible security (or portion thereof) the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment pursuant to this Section 12(ii), the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be recalculated assuming such convertible security (or portion thereof) had never been issued and such adjustment so recalculated shall become effective immediately upon the date of such expiration or termination.
(iii)Other Distributions. In case the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock of securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants (excluding dividends or distributions referred to in Section 12(i)), in each such case, the Exercise Price in effect prior to such record date shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the reduction by the quotient of (x) the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades without the right to receive such distribution, minus the amount of cash or publicly traded securities or the Fair Market Value of any non-publicly traded securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock (the “Per Share Fair Market Value”) divided by (y) such Market Price on such date specified in clause (x); such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In such event, the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the distribution giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, cash or warrants, as the case may be, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect and the number of Shares that would then be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant if such record date had not been fixed.

    

(iv)Certain Repurchases of Common Stock. In case the Corporation effects a Pro Rata Repurchase of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such Pro Rata Repurchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Pro Rata Repurchase and (y) the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase, minus (ii) the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, and of which the denominator shall be the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase minus the number of shares of Common Stock so repurchased and (ii) the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase. In such event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Pro Rata Repurchase giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
(v)Deemed Liquidation Event. In the event the Corporation is a party to any Deemed Liquidation Event, the Corporation shall give the Warrantholder at least 10 days’ advance written notice (each, a “Transaction Notice”) of the anticipated date for such Deemed Liquidation Event. If the Corporation has delivered a Transaction Notice and the Warrantholder has not elected to exercise this Warrant under Section 3 in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event, or if the Expiration Time is set to occur prior the consummation of such Deemed Liquidation Event, then upon the effective date of, and immediately prior to, the consummation of such Deemed Liquidation Event or immediately prior to such Expiration Time, as applicable, this Warrant shall be automatically deemed to be exercised in full on a “cashless basis” pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3(ii) (provided, that the Market Price of one share of Class A Common Stock shall be deemed to be equal to the applicable aggregate consideration in respect of one share of Class A Common Stock that is payable upon the closing of such Deemed Liquidation Event (based on the amount of any such consideration in the form of cash or publicly traded securities and the Fair Market Value of any such consideration in the form of non-publicly traded securities or other property or assets)); provided, that if, at such time such applicable aggregate consideration in respect of one share of Class A Common Stock is less than the Exercise Price, then this Warrant shall instead cease to be exercisable and shall terminate in full for no consideration.
(vi)Liquidation. In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation, or if any other dissolution of the Corporation by operation of law is effected, then each Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive any applicable distributions with respect to its Warrant on an equal basis with the holders of Class A Common Stock, as if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such event, less the aggregate applicable Exercise Price. Nothing in this subsection (vi) shall have the effect of requiring a Warrantholder to make any actual payment to the Corporation.
(vii)Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 12 but not expressly provided for by such provisions occurs, then the Corporation shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Warrantholder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 12; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 12(vii) shall decrease the number of Shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant.
(viii)Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments. All calculations under this Section 12 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent or to the nearest one-hundred thousandth (1/100,000th) of a share, as the case may be. Any provision of this Section 12 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than the greater of $0.01 or one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share of Class A Common Stock, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any

    

subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or 1/10,000th of a share of Class A Common Stock, or more.
(ix)Timing of Issuance of Additional Class A Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 12 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Warrantholder of this Warrant exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Warrantholder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Class A Common Stock; provided, however, that the Corporation upon request shall deliver to such Warrantholder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Warrantholder’s right to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(x)Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in Section 12, the Corporation shall forthwith file at the principal office of the Corporation a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect and the number of Shares or type of other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment, and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such statement to be provided to each Warrantholder in the manner described in Section 19.
(xi)Notice of Adjustment Event. In the event that the Corporation shall (x) propose to take any action of the type described in this Section 12 (but only if the action of the type described in this Section 12 would result in an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable or a change in the type of securities or property to be delivered upon exercise of this Warrant), the Corporation shall in any such case give prior written notice (an “Adjustment Notice”) to the Warrantholder, in the manner set forth in Section 19, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action, the approximate date on which such action is to take place, and a description of such action in reasonable detail. Such notice shall also set forth the facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the case of any such action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the date so fixed (provided that, with respect to any applicable stock split, subdivision, reclassification of combination described in Section 12(i), such notice shall be given on the date so fixed), and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the taking of such proposed action. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action.
(xii)Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 12, the Corporation shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory, stock exchange or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Corporation may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Common Stock or other securities or property that the Warrantholder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 12.
(xiii)Adjustment Rules. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 12 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur. If an adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of the Class A Common Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of the Class A Common Stock.

If the rating system of (i) one of the Rating Agencies shall change, or if one of the Rating Agencies shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of a Senior Unsecured Rating from such Rating Agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the Senior Unsecured Rating of the other Rating Agency or (ii) both Rating Agencies shall change, or if both Rating Agencies shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of a Senior Unsecured Rating from both Rating Agencies and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the Leverage Ratio. For the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Rate shall only be determined by reference to the Leverage Ratio under the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph or in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

(b)All pro forma computations required to be made hereunder giving effect to any transaction shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (and, in the case of any pro forma computations made hereunder to determine whether such transaction is permitted to be consummated hereunder, to any other such transaction consummated since the first day of the period covered by any component of such pro forma computation and on or prior to the date of such computation) as if such transaction had occurred on the first day of the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending with the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements shall have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) (or, prior to the delivery of any such financial statements, ending with the last fiscal quarter included in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.04(a)), and, to the extent applicable, to the historical earnings and cash flows associated with the assets acquired or disposed of and any related incurrence or reduction of Indebtedness, all in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months).

(c)Whenever the Borrower elects to give pro forma effect in accordance with Section 1.04(b) above for the implementation of any restructuring, operational initiative, business optimization, operational or technology change or improvement, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a financial officer of the Borrower and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of “run- rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies projected by the Borrower in good faith to be realizable as a result of specified actions taken, committed to be taken or expected to be taken in the good faith determination of the Borrower (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies had been realized in full on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies were realized in full during the entirety of such period and “run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public company requirements), whether prior to or following the Effective Date, net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions, and any such adjustments (herein, the “Pro Forma Adjustments”) shall be included in the initial pro forma calculations of such financial ratios or tests and during any subsequent four quarter period in which the effects thereof are expected to be realizable) relating to such transactions or actions; provided that (a) such amounts are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable, (b) such actions have been taken or substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (in the reasonable and good faith determination of the Borrower and as certified to by the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, treasurer, chief accounting officer or controller of the Borrower in a certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent), within 24 months after the consummation or commencement, as applicable, of any change that is expected to result in such cost savings or synergies, (c) no amounts shall be added to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA (or any other components thereof), whether
-48-

through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period and (d) the aggregate amount of such Pro Forma Adjustments (together with all amounts added back under clause (l) of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA) shall not exceed 15% of Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the determination date (calculated after giving effect to any adjustments pursuant to this Section 1.04(c) and clause (l) of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA).

SECTION 1.05.    Currency Translation.

(a)All references in the Loan Documents to Loans, Letters of Credit, Obligations, covenant baskets and other amounts shall be denominated in dollars unless expressly provided otherwise. Compliance with all such dollar denominated amounts shall be based on the Dollar Equivalent of any amounts denominated or reported under a Loan Document in a currency other than dollars and shall be determined by the Administrative Agent on any Revaluation Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Obligation is funded and expressly denominated in a currency other than dollars, the Borrower shall repay such Obligation (including any interest thereon) in such other currency. All fees payable under Section 2.09 shall be payable in dollars. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness, Lien, or affiliate transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of any dollar basket being exceeded due to a change in the rate of currency exchange occurring after the time of any such specified transaction so long as such specified transaction was permitted at the time incurred, made, acquired, committed, entered or declared. No Default or Event of Default shall arise as a result of any limitation or threshold set forth in dollars in Section 7.01(f), (g) or (k) being exceeded solely as a result of changes in currency exchange rates from those rates applicable on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the fiscal quarter in which such determination occurs or in respect of which such determination is being made.

(b)Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Term Benchmark Loan or a RFR Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in dollars, but such Borrowing, Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

SECTION 1.06.    Rounding. The calculation of any financial ratios under this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-down if there is no nearest number).

SECTION 1.07.    Interest Rates. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in dollars or an Alternative Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Section 2.11(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, 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 existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and
-49-

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 Borrower. 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 Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

SECTION 1.08.    Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

SECTION 1.09.    Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

SECTION 1.10.    Timing of Payment and Performance. When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

SECTION 1.11.    Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the amount of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit Agreement related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the available amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum amount is available to be drawn at such time.

SECTION 1.12.    Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. All references herein to the determination of any amount for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or any similar reference shall, in each case (other than as set forth in the definition of “Total Assets”), be deemed to exclude each variable interest entity (“VIE”) that the Borrower is required to consolidate pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 167 as if such variable interest entity were a Subsidiary as defined herein. For the avoidance of doubt, each VIE shall not constitute a Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement and, as such, will not be taken into account for any financial calculations, including, without limitation, determining Consolidated EBITDA, Fixed Charges, Consolidated Net Income, Total Assets (other than as set forth in the definition of “Total Assets”) and Consolidated Total Indebtedness.

SECTION 1.13.    Sustainability Adjustments.

(a)The Borrower may, at its election, deliver a Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent in respect of the most recently ended fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, on any date prior to the date that is 270 days following the last day of such fiscal year (the
-50-

“Initial Delivery Date”); provided that the Pricing Certificate for any fiscal year may be delivered on any date following the Initial Delivery Date that is prior to the date that is 365 days following the last day of the preceding fiscal year, so long as such Pricing Certificate includes a certification that delivery of such Pricing Certificate on or before the Initial Delivery Date was not possible because (i) the information required to calculate the KPI Metrics for such preceding fiscal year was not available at such time or (ii) the report of the KPI Metrics Auditor, if relevant, was not available at such time (the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof, each a “Pricing Certificate Date”). Upon delivery of a Pricing Certificate in respect of a fiscal year, (i) the Applicable Rate for the Loans incurred by the Borrower shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment as set forth in the KPI Metrics Certificate delivered with such Pricing Certificate, and (ii) the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Commitment Fee shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased or decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Fee Adjustment as set forth in such KPI Metrics Certificate. For purposes of the foregoing, the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment shall be determined as of the fifth Business Day following the Pricing Certificate Date for such Pricing Certificate based upon the KPI Metrics for such fiscal year set forth in the KPI Metrics Certificate delivered with such Pricing Certificate and the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment in such KPI Metrics Certificate (such fifth Business Day, a “Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date”). Each change in the Applicable Rate on any Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date shall be effective during the period commencing on and including such Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date.

(b)For the avoidance of doubt, only one Pricing Certificate may be delivered in respect of any fiscal year. It is further understood and agreed that the Applicable Rate for Loans incurred by the Borrower will never be reduced or increased by more than 0.050% and that the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Commitment Fee will never be reduced or increased by more than 0.010%, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment, respectively, on any Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the Applicable Rate for such Loans or such Revolving Commitment Fee by reason of meeting one or both KPI Metrics in any fiscal year shall not be cumulative year-over-year. The adjustments pursuant to this Section made on any Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date shall only apply for the period until the date immediately preceding the next Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date.

(c)If, for any fiscal year, either (i) no Pricing Certificate shall have been delivered for such fiscal year or (ii) the Pricing Certificate delivered for such fiscal year shall fail to include the Diverse Supplier Spend Percentage or GHG Emissions Intensity for such fiscal year, then the Sustainability Margin Adjustment will be positive 0.050% and/or the Sustainability Fee Adjustment will be positive 0.010%, as applicable, in each case commencing on the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered in accordance with the terms of clause (a) above (it being understood that, in the case of the foregoing clause (ii), the Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the Sustainability Fee Adjustment will be determined in accordance with such Pricing Certificate to the extent the (A) Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the Sustainability Fee Adjustment is included in such Pricing Certificate and (B) the Administrative Agent has separately received the Diverse Supplier Spend Percentage and/or GHG Emissions Intensity, as applicable).

(d)If (i) the Borrower becomes aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics as reported in a Pricing Certificate (any such material inaccuracy, a “Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy”), and (ii) a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics would have resulted in an increase in the Applicable Rate for the Loans incurred by the Borrower and the Revolving Commitment Fee for any period, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such inaccuracy
-51-

and (x) commencing on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Applicable Rate for the Loans and the Revolving Commitment Fee shall be adjusted to reflect the corrected calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics, as applicable, and (y) the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand (and in any event within 10 Business Days) by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the excess of (1) the amount of interest for the Loans and Revolving Commitment Fees that should have been paid for such period over (2) the amount of interest for the Loans and Revolving Commitment Fees actually paid for such period. If the Borrower becomes aware of any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and, in connection therewith, if a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics would have resulted in a decrease in the Applicable Rate for the Loans and the Revolving Commitment Fee for any period during any period, then, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of notice from the Borrower of such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (which notice shall include corrections to the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics, as applicable) (x) commencing on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Applicable Rate for the Loans and the Revolving Commitment Fee shall be adjusted to reflect the corrected calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics, as applicable, and (y) an amount equal to the excess of (1) the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period over (2) the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period shall be credited to the account of the Borrower and shall reduce the amount of interest for the Loans and Revolving Commitment Fees owing by the Borrower in future periods to the Lenders (on a pro rata basis) on the date of payment of such interest for the Loans or Revolving Commitment Fees for such future period.

(e)It is understood and agreed that any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default and, 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 a Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable event under non-U.S. Debtor Relief Laws),
(i) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to or upon such demand for payment by Administrative Agent shall not constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise) and (ii) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to the date that is 10 Business Days after such a demand or shall accrue interest at the rate provided in Section 2.10(f) prior to the date that is 10 Business Days after such a demand. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure by the Borrower to deliver a Pricing Certificate shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or an Event of Default.

(f)Each party hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Borrower of any Sustainability Margin Adjustment or Sustainability Fee Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any Pricing Certificate (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).

ARTICLE II

The Credits

SECTION 2.01.    Commitments.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make Loans in any Agreed Currency to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or the Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.13, if applicable).

SECTION 2.02.    Loans and Borrowings.

(a)Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. Any Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.19.

(b)Subject to Sections 2.11 and 2.12, each Borrowing (other than Swingline Loans) shall be comprised (i) in the case of Borrowings in dollars, entirely of ABR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans, (ii) in the case of Borrowings in Euros, entirely of Term Benchmark Loans, (iii) in the case of Borrowings in Sterling, entirely of RFR Loans, (iv) in the case of Borrowings in Yen or Australian Dollars, entirely of Term Benchmark Loans, and (v) in the case of Borrowings in Singapore Dollars, entirely of RFR Loans, in each case, denominated in the applicable currency, bearing interest at the Relevant Rate and as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan denominated in dollars. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c)At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Term Benchmark Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than
$1,000,000; provided that a Term Benchmark Borrowing that results from a continuation of an outstanding Term Benchmark Borrowing, as applicable, may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to such outstanding Borrowing. At the time that each ABR Borrowing and/or RFR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than
$1,000,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. 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 eleven (11) (or such greater number as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent), Term Benchmark Borrowings and RFR Borrowings outstanding.

(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert to or continue, any Term Benchmark Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.
-53-

SECTION 2.03.    Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone or in writing (a) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in dollars, not later than 12:30 p.m., New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (b) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Euros, not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (c) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Yen or Australian Dollars, not later than 12:30 p.m., New York City time, four Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (d) in the case of an RFR Borrowing denominated in Sterling, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three RFR Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (e) in the case of an RFR Borrowing denominated in Singapore Dollars, not later than 12:30 p.m., New York City time, four RFR Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (f) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of an ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.20(e) may be given not
later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be made (or, if telephonic, confirmed promptly) by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of an executed written Borrowing Request. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)the Borrower, the aggregate amount and Agreed Currency of such Borrowing;

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

(iii)whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Term Benchmark Borrowing or an RFR Borrowing;

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

(v)the location and number of the account of the Borrower to which funds are to be disbursed.

If no election as to the currency of a Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be made in dollars. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing in dollars. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term Benchmark Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04.    Funding of Borrowings.

(a)Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or, in the case of ABR Loans, such later time as shall be two hours after the delivery by the Borrower of a Borrowing Request therefor in accordance with Section 2.03), in each case, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.19. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly remitting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an
-54-

account of the Borrower; provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.20(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Applicable Issuing Bank.

(b)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance on such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on written demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by 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 a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans or, in the case of Alternative Currencies, in accordance with such market practice, in each case, as applicable. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.05.    Interest Elections.

(a)Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and Agreed Currency and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section; provided that no SOFR Loan may be converted to a Daily Simple SOFR loan prior to the implementation of Daily Simple SOFR pursuant to Section 2.11. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b)To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone or in writing by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be made (or, if telephonic, confirmed promptly) by hand delivery, facsimile or electronic mail to the Administrative Agent of an executed written Interest Election Request. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)the Borrower, the Agreed Currency and the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case
-55-

the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

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

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

(iv)if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(c)Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(d)If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, 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 the same Agreed Currency for an additional Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default under clause (h) or
(i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Borrower, or if any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of (x) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in dollars, the Required Lenders and (y) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Required Lenders have notified the Borrower of the election to give effect to this sentence on account of such other Event of Default, then, in each such case, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, (x) each Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (y) each Term Benchmark Borrowing and each RFR Borrowing, in each case denominated in Euros or Sterling, shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency plus the CBR Spread and (z) each Term Benchmark Borrowing and each RFR Borrowing, in each case denominated in Yen, Singapore Dollars and Australian Dollars, shall be prepaid in full, in the case of Singapore Dollars, immediately and, in the case of Yen and Australian Dollars, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Agreed Currency shall either be (A) converted to an ABR Borrowing denominated in dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) at the end of the Interest Period, as applicable, therefor or (B) prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period, as applicable, in full; provided that if no election is made by the Borrower by the earlier of (x) the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Term Benchmark Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) above.
-56-

SECTION 2.06.    Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments.

(a)Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b)The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000, (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.08, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and (iii) the other Revolving Exposure limitations set forth in Sections
2.01 and 2.02 shall be satisfied after giving effect to any such reduction.

(c)[Reserved].

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

SECTION 2.07.    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a)The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender made to the Borrower on the Maturity Date. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lenders the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made to the Borrower on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the fifth Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any such Borrowing shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to repay any Swingline Loans outstanding.

(b)The records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall (in the case of the Lenders, to the extent they are not inconsistent with the records maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(iv)) be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Loans, interest and fees due or accrued hereunder; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c)Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after
-57-

assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns.

SECTION 2.08.    Prepayment of Loans.

(a)The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to the requirements of this Section.

(b)The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by delivery of a Notice of Loan Prepayment of any optional prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in dollars, not later than 12:30 p.m., New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Euros, not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of a prepayment of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Yen or Australian Dollars, not later than 12:30 p.m., New York City time, four Business Days before the date of prepayment, (iv) in the case of a prepayment of an RFR Borrowing denominated in Sterling, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three RFR Business Days before the date of prepayment, (v) in the case of a prepayment of an RFR Borrowing denominated in Singapore Dollars, not later than 12:30 p.m., New York City time, four RFR Business Days before the date of prepayment and (vi) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the Agreed Currency and the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and the principal amount of each such Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that a Notice of Loan Prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the specified effective date if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10.

(c)In the event and on such occasion that the total Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or any other Revolving Exposure limitations set forth in Sections
2.01 and 2.02 are not satisfied, the Borrower shall promptly prepay the Loans, LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. All prepayments required by this Section 2.08(c) shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, including Swingline Loans (without a permanent reduction of the any Commitment) and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure.

SECTION 2.09.    Fees.

(a)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee (the “Revolving Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates. Accrued Revolving Commitment Fees in respect of the Revolving Commitments shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date. All Revolving Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days
-58-

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

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

(c)All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to (i) in the case of the Revolving Commitment Fees, the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders entitled thereto and (ii) in the case of any fees payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account, to the Administrative Agent. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

(d)The Borrower agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans, on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, transfer, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on such day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after written demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.

SECTION 2.10.    Interest.

(a)The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan to the Borrower) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b)[Reserved].

(c)The Loans comprising each Term Benchmark Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, the BBSY Rate or the TIBOR Rate, as applicable, for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(d)Each RFR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to any RFR Borrowing denominated in Sterling, the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple RFR, (ii) with respect to any RFR Borrowing denominated in Singapore Dollars, the applicable Daily Simple RFR and (iii) with respect to any RFR Borrowing denominated in dollars, the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple RFR plus, in each case, the Applicable Rate.

(e)[Reserved].
-59-

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or (b) shall have occurred and be continuing, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, then, upon the written request of the Required Lenders until the related defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, to the extent permitted by law, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of overdue interest, overdue fees or any other amounts on any Loan with respect to any Revolving Commitment, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans, as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(g)Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon the termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section shall be payable on written demand of the Required Lenders, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of a Term Benchmark Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. Any accrued and unpaid interest on any Loan shall be due and payable on the date such Loan is repaid.

(h)Interest computed by reference to any Term Benchmark hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days. Interest computed by reference to the Daily Simple RFR or the Alternate Base 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 Term Benchmark or Daily Simple RFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.11.    Inability to Determine Rates.

(a)Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 2.11, if:

(i)the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest 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 Term Benchmark for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Daily Simple RFR or Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for the applicable Agreed Currency; or

(ii)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, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, the BBSY Rate or the TIBOR Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period or (B) at any time, the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple RFR, Daily Simple RFR, Daily Simple ESTR or ESTR for the applicable Agreed Currency will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency;
-60-

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.05 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, (A) for Loans denominated in dollars, (1) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request for an ABR Borrowing and (2) any Borrowing Request that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a Borrowing Request for an ABR Borrowing and (B) for Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing or an RFR Borrowing and any Borrowing Request 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 Borrowings, 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 Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.11(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until
(x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.05 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, (A) for Loans denominated in dollars, (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), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan, 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 Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest 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 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 Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest 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 the Borrower’s election, shall either (A) be converted into ABR Loans denominated in dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent 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 any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to dollars in the case of clause (1) or Euros in the case of clause (2) 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
-61-

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 (3) 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 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)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower) 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 Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (i) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (ii) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.11, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non- occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.11.

(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 and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is 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 Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing (if any, after the effectiveness of a Benchmark Replacement) of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in dollars into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to an ABR Borrowing or (y) any Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing denominated in the affected
-62-

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 ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any RFR Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such Agreed Currency is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.11, (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, an ABR Loan and (B) for Loans denominated in the affected 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 Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest 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 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 Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest 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 the Borrower’s election, shall either (A) be converted into ABR Loans denominated in dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) immediately or (B) be prepaid in full immediately. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, in determining an alternative rate of interest, the Administrative Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent the Administrative Agent is permitted to select an alternate benchmark rate or spread adjustment, to implement any proposal reasonably requested by the Borrower and not adverse to the Lenders that is intended to prevent the use of an alternative rate of interest pursuant to this Section 2.11 from resulting in a deemed exchange of any Indebtedness hereunder under Section 1001 of the Code.

SECTION 2.12.    Increased Costs; Illegality.

(a)If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement reflected in any Term Benchmark, as applicable);

(ii)impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the international interbank market for the applicable Agreed Currency any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii)subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes) with respect to its loans, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
-63-

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank or other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan or increase the cost to any Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, from time to time within 10 days following request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank or other Recipient (accompanied by a certificate in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section), the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Bank or other Recipient for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered; provided that such Lender, such Issuing bank or other Recipient shall only be entitled to seek such additional amounts if such Person certifies that it is generally seeking the payment of similar additional amounts from similarly situated borrowers in comparable credit facilities to the extent it is entitled to do so.

(b)If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing bank or any lending office of such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made or participations in Loans purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank pursuant hereto by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then, from time to time within 10 days following request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank (accompanied by a certificate in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section), the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that such Lender or Issuing Bank shall only be entitled to seek such additional amounts if such Person is generally seeking the payment of similar additional amounts from similarly situated borrowers in comparable credit facilities to the extent it is entitled to do so.

(c)A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the basis for and, in reasonable detail (to the extent practicable), computation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or their respective holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph
(a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs, expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender and the respective Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed; provided that if, after the payment of any amounts by the Borrower under this Section, any Change in Law in respect of
-64-

which a payment was made is thereafter determined to be invalid or inapplicable to the relevant Lender or Issuing Bank, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall, within 30 days after such determination, repay any amounts paid to it by the Borrower hereunder in respect of such Change in Law.

(e)If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to any applicable Daily Simple RFR or Adjusted Daily Simple RFR or Term Benchmark, or to determine or charge interest based upon any applicable Daily Simple RFR, Adjusted Daily Simple RFR or Term Benchmark, or, with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan, any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, any applicable Agreed Currency in the applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable Agreed Currency, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”), (a) any obligation of the Lenders to make RFR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans, as applicable, and any right of the Borrower to continue RFR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans, as applicable, in the affected Agreed Currency or Agreed Currencies or, in the case of Loans denominated in dollars, to convert ABR Loans to Term Benchmark Loans, shall be suspended, and (b) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, in each case until each such affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, (i) convert all Term Benchmark Loans denominated in dollars to ABR Loans or (ii) convert all RFR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans denominated in an affected Alternative Currency to ABR Loans denominated in dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”) (A) with respect to RFR Loans, on the Interest Payment Date therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such RFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such RFR Loans to such day or (B) with respect to Term Benchmark Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans, to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans, as applicable, to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest (except with respect to any prepayment or conversion of an RFR Loan) on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.13.

SECTION 2.13.    Break Funding Payments. 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), (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 or continue any Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof), (iv) the failure to prepay any Term Benchmark Loan on a date specified therefor in any notice of prepayment given by the Borrower (unless such notice has been revoked in accordance with Section 2.08) or (v) the assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (but not lost profits) within 15 days following written request of such Lender (accompanied by a certificate described below in this Section). Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (but not
-65-

including the Applicable Rate applicable thereto), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate such Lender would bid if it were to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the international interbank market. A certificate of any Lender delivered to the Borrower and setting forth the basis for and, in reasonable detail (to the extent practicable), computation of any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.14.    Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes. All payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax in respect of any such payment by any applicable withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, shall be increased as necessary so that after all such deductions or withholdings have been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) the applicable Lender (or, in the case of a payment received by the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes. Without limitation or duplication of Section 2.14(a), the Borrower and the Guarantors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

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

(d)Indemnification by the Borrower and the Guarantors. Without limitation or duplication of Section 2.14(a) or (b) above, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that if, after the payment of any amounts by the Borrower under this Section 2.14(d) any such Indemnified Taxes in respect of which a payment was made are thereafter determined to have been incorrectly or illegally imposed, then the relevant Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes (which shall be repaid to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.14(g)) so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of such Recipient, result in any additional out-of-pocket costs or expenses not
-66-

reimbursed by the Borrower or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Recipient; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Recipient pursuant to this Section 2.14(d) for any interest, penalties or expenses to the extent resulting from such Recipient’s failure to notify the Borrower of the relevant possible indemnification claim within six months after such Recipient receives written notice from the applicable Governmental Authority of the specific Tax assessment given rise to such indemnification claim. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)[Reserved].

(f)Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (iii) of Section 2.14(f)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the 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 reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two of whichever of the following is applicable:

1.in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, a properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to such tax treaty;

2.in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
-67-

3.in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” that is related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and no payments under any Loan Document are effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (y) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN; or

4.to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where such Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of such direct and indirect partner(s); and

5.any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other documentation prescribed by applicable 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 law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii)If a payment made to a Lender or the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document would be subject to Taxes imposed by FATCA if such Lender or the Administrative Agent were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, and to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.14(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such documentation and deliver such documentation
-68-

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

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.14 (f), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.14(f).

On or before the date the Administrative Agent (or any successor thereto) becomes a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall provide to Borrower, two properly completed and executed copies of the documentation prescribed in clause (i) or (ii) below, as applicable (together with all required attachments thereto): (i) IRS Form W-9 or any successor thereto, or (ii) (A) IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto, with respect to amounts received for its own account and (B) with respect to payments received on account of any Lender, IRS Form W-8IMY evidencing its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. At any time thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or a successor form thereto) when any documentation previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or invalid or otherwise upon the reasonable request of the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.14(f), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver any documentation that the Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a Change in Law after the date of this Agreement.

(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.14(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.14(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.14(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)The agreements in this Section 2.14 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the expiration or termination of the Revolving Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

(i)For purposes of this Section 2.14, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA and the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank and any Swingline Lender.

SECTION 2.15.    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a)The Borrower shall make each payment or prepayment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document prior to the time required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due or the date fixed for any prepayment hereunder, in immediately available funds, without any defense, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such account as may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 9.03 and 9.20 and 9.21 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in the applicable Agreed Currency in which the Borrowing was made or Letter of Credit issued and otherwise in dollars.

(b)If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied towards payment of the amounts then due hereunder ratably among the parties entitled thereto, in accordance with the amounts then due to such parties.

(c)If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of any Loan or LC Disbursement resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and LC Exposure of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their Loans or LC Exposure; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or LC Exposure to any Person that is an Eligible Assignee (as such term is defined herein from time to time). The Borrower consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. For purposes of clause (b) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes,” a Lender that acquires a participation pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) shall be treated as having acquired such participation on the date(s) on which such Lender acquired the applicable interest(s) in the applicable Commitment(s) to which such participation relates.

(d)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders that the
-70-

Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e)If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to or for the account of the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations in respect of such payment until all such unsatisfied obligations have been discharged.

SECTION 2.16.    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or Issuing Bank or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (at the request of the Borrower) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if, in the judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation within 10 days following request of such Lender or Issuing Bank (accompanied by reasonable (to the extent practicable) back-up documentation relating thereto).

(b)If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice under Section 2.12(e), (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.14, (iv) any Lender or Issuing Bank has become a Defaulting Lender,
(v) any Lender or Issuing Bank has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that under Section 9.02 requires the consent of all the Lenders or Issuing Banks (or all or the majority of the affected Lenders or Issuing Banks) and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent or (vi) in connection with the replacement of any non-Accepting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent, either (i) require such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), it being understood that the processing and recordation fee referred to in such Section shall be paid by the Borrower or the assignee (and the assignor Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall not be responsible therefor), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (or, in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a failure to provide a consent, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation) or (ii) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, terminate the Revolving Commitment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and (1) in the case of a
-71-

Lender (other than an Issuing Bank), repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing (and the amount of all accrued interest and fees in respect thereof) to such Lender relating to the Loans and Revolving Exposure participations held by such Lender as of such termination date and (2) in the case of an Issuing Bank, repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Issuing Bank relating to the Loans, Letters of Credit and Revolving Exposure participations held by such Issuing Bank as of such termination date and cancel, cash collateralize or backstop on terms satisfactory to such Issuing Bank any Letters of Credit issued by it; provided that (A) such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (if applicable, in each case only to the extent such amounts relate to its interest as a Lender) from the assignee (in the case of such principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (B) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (C) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law and (D) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such assignment and delegation and any contemporaneous assignments and delegations and consents, the applicable amendment, waiver, discharge or termination can be effected. A Lender or Issuing Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or Issuing Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender or Issuing Bank required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto.

SECTION 2.17.    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)the Revolving Commitment Fees shall cease to accrue on the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;

(b)the Revolving Commitment and the Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders adversely affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof;

(c)if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages, (x) but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposure plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) only to the extent that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date the applicable Lender became a Defaulting Lender;
-72-

(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure, and (y) second, cash collateralize, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.20(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii)if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(d) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv)if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.09(a), 2.09(d) and/or 2.09(e), as applicable, shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Percentages; and

(v)if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.09(d) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks entitled to reimbursement until such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized;

(d)so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan, the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.17(c), and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan, newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.17(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein); and

(e)so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.15) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account (for the avoidance of doubt, it is noted that any amounts retained pursuant to this Section 2.17(e) shall for all other purposes be treated as having been paid to such Defaulting Lender) and, subject to any applicable requirements of law and the proviso at the end of this Section 2.17(e), be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii) third, if the Administrative Agent so determines or is reasonably requested by an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any existing or future participating interest in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit, (iv) fourth, 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 determined by the Administrative Agent, (v) fifth, if the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (with the consent of the Administrative
-73-

Agent) so determines, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Loans under this Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) seventh, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (viii) 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 reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Disbursements which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

If each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender and agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitments and on the date of such readjustment such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentages.

The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than two Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

The rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.18.    Certain Permitted Amendments.

(a)The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time beginning after the Effective Date, but not more than five times during the term of this Agreement (and with no more than one such offer outstanding at any one time), make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, each Permitted Amendment shall only require the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and those Lenders that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”), and each Permitted Amendment shall become effective only with respect to the Loans of the Accepting Lenders. In connection with any Loan Modification Offer, the Borrower may, at its sole option, with respect to one or more of the Lenders that are not Accepting Lenders (each, a “Non-Accepting Lender”) replace such Non-Accepting Lender pursuant to Section
-74-

2.16(b). Upon the effectiveness of any Permitted Amendment and any assignment of any Non-Accepting Lender’s Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.16(b), subject to the payment of applicable amounts pursuant to Section 2.13 in connection therewith, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made such borrowings and repayments of the Loans, and the Lenders shall make such adjustments of outstanding Loans between and among them, as shall be necessary to effect the reallocation of the Revolving Commitments such that, after giving effect thereto, (x) the Loans denominated in dollars shall be held by the Lenders (including the Eligible Assignees as the new Lenders) ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages and (y) the Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be held by the Lenders (including the Eligible Assignees as the new Lenders) ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages.

(b)The Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Loan Modification Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans and Revolving Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Revolving Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as a new “Class” or “Tranche” of loans and/or commitments hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions, officer’s and secretary’s certificates and other documentation consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date under this Agreement.

(c)“Permitted Amendments” means any or all of the following: (i) an extension of the Maturity Date applicable solely to the Loans and/or Revolving Commitments of the Accepting Lenders,
(ii) an increase in the interest rate with respect to the Loans and/or Revolving Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (iii) the inclusion of additional fees to be payable to the Accepting Lenders in connection with the Permitted Amendment (including any commitment fees and upfront fees), (iv) such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, necessary or advisable, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to provide the rights and benefits of this Agreement and other Loan Documents to each new “Class” or “Tranche” of loans and/or commitments resulting therefrom; provided that extensions of Borrowings shall be made pro rata across “Classes” or “Tranches” of loans and/or commitments and payments of principal and interest on Loans (including Loans of Accepting Lenders) shall continue to be shared pro rata in accordance with Section 2.15, except that notwithstanding Section 2.15 the Loans and Revolving Commitments of the Non-Accepting Lenders may be repaid and terminated on their applicable Maturity Date, and may be so repaid or terminated without any pro rata reduction of the commitments and repayment of Loans of Accepting Lenders with a different Maturity Date and (v) such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, necessary or advisable, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the foregoing Permitted Amendments.

(d)This Section 2.18 shall supersede any provision in Section 9.02 to the contrary. Notwithstanding any reallocation into extending and non-extending “Classes” or “Tranches” in connection with a Permitted Amendment, all Loans to the Borrower under this Agreement shall rank pari
-passu in right of payment.

SECTION 2.19.    Swingline Loans.
-75-

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans from time to time in dollars to the Borrower during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $50,000,000 to the Borrower, (ii) the total Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, (iii) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans (to the extent that the other Lenders shall not have funded their participations) and Revolving Exposure of the Swingline Lender (solely in its capacity as a Lender) exceeding the Revolving Commitment of the Swingline Lender, or (iv) any other limitation set forth in Section 2.01 or 2.02 not being satisfied after giving effect to such Swingline Loan; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans without premium or penalty. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by facsimile), not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time., on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day), the Borrower and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of remitting the amounts to an account of the Borrower (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.20(e), by remittance to the Applicable Issuing Bank).

(b)The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (noon), New York City time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which the applicable Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans in dollars. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Sections 2.04(a) and (b) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and
Sections 2.04(a) and (b) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
-76-

(c)The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any date that the Administrative Agent elects, by notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender, in the case of the Swingline Loans) shall transfer the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the Administrative Agent, to such account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with the Swingline Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Loans of such Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Administrative Agent by any Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.04(b).

SECTION 2.20.    Letters of Credit.

(a)General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in Agreed Currencies (provided that the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit issued in an Alternative Currency shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent of
$50,000,000) for its own account or for the account of the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, with each Letter of Credit being in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that and each of the letters of credit described on Schedule 2.20 (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be deemed issued under this Agreement on the Effective Date.

(b)Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Applicable Issuing Bank) to the Applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (prior to 12:30 p.m. at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount and Agreed Currency of such Letter of Credit, to which Borrower’s account the Letter of Credit will apply, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Applicable Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $200,000,000, (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (iii) the Issuing Bank Issued Amount with respect to the Applicable Issuing Bank shall not exceed the Issuing Bank Individual Sublimit of the
-77-

Applicable Issuing Bank (unless otherwise agreed by the Applicable Issuing Bank), and (iv) all other Revolving Exposure limitations set forth in Sections 2.01 and 2.02 would be satisfied.

An Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue 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 Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Effective Date and that such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or
(ii)the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.

(c)Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

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

(e)Reimbursement. If the Applicable Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in the applicable Agreed Currency by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than noon on the date that is one Business Day immediately following the day that such LC Disbursement is made; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.19 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in
-78-

respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such Pro Rata Percentage of the payment in the applicable Agreed Currency, then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Sections 2.04(a) and 2.04(b) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Sections 2.04(a) and 2.04(b) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the applicable 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 Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Applicable Issuing Bank, then to such applicable Lenders and the Applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Applicable Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f)Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Letter of Credit’s Applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g)Disbursement Procedures. The Applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) or electronic mail of such demand for payment and whether the Applicable Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any
-79-

failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Applicable Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h)Interim Interest. If the Applicable Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.10(f) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Applicable Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i)Replacement of an Issuing Bank; Additional Issuing Banks; Resignation.

(i)Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.08(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(ii)The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, denied, conditioned or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders (not to exceed five such Lenders at any time) to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (i)(ii) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Bank and such Lender.

(iii)Any Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. After the resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, reinstate, or otherwise amend any then existing Letter of Credit.

(j)Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, or if any Letter of Credit extends past the Maturity Date, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Administrative Agent) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in
-80-

an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure of the Borrower as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.01(h) or (i). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing or paragraph (c) of this Section, if any LC Exposure remain outstanding after the expiration date specified in Section 2.01, the Borrower shall immediately deposit into the LC Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 103% of such LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and the Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account to secure the Obligations of the Borrower. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in each such account. Moneys in each such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements on account of the Borrower for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all such Events of Defaults have been cured or waived.

(k)Reporting. No later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day prior to the last day of each calendar quarter (the “Reporting Time”), each Issuing Bank shall provide the Administrative Agent with a summary of all (A) outstanding issuances at such time and (B) Letter of Credit activity during such calendar quarter. It is understood and agreed that, for purposes of the calculation of fees payable pursuant to Section 2.09(d), any Letter of Credit activity occurring after the Reporting Time shall be deemed to have occurred in the immediately succeeding calendar quarter.

SECTION 2.21.    Revolving Commitment Increase.

(a)The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Commitments (each such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”); provided that both at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Event of Default shall exist. Each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than
$25,000,000 (or such lower amount that either (A) represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence or (B) is acceptable to the Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment Increases shall not exceed
$500,000,000 (the “Commitment Increase Cap”). Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Revolving Commitment Increase. Revolving Commitment Increases may be made by any existing Lender or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that the relevant Persons under Section 9.04(b) shall have consented (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s Revolving Commitment Increase, if such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans to such Lender or Additional Lender. Each Arranger agrees, upon the request of the
-81-

Borrower and pursuant to mutually satisfactory engagement and compensation arrangements, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Additional Lenders to make any such requested Revolving Commitment Increase; provided that each Arranger’s agreement to use such efforts does not constitute a commitment to provide any such requested Revolving Commitment Increase.

(b)Commitments in respect of any Revolving Commitment Increase shall become Revolving Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Revolving Commitment Increase, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental 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 and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, a “Revolving Commitment Increase Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Borrowing” or similar language in such Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Amendment shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions, officer’s and secretary’s certificates and other documentation consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date under this Agreement. The Borrower may use the proceeds of Loans provided pursuant to any Revolving Commitment Increase for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Revolving Commitment Increase unless it so agrees in its sole discretion. Any Lender that fails to respond to a request to increase its Commitment shall be deemed to have declined such request.

(c)The Loans and Revolving Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Loans and Revolving Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees provided under Article X.

(d)After giving effect to any Revolving Commitment Increase, it may be the case that the outstanding Loans are not held pro rata in accordance with the new Revolving Commitments. In order to remedy the foregoing, on the effective date of the applicable Revolving Commitment Increase, each of the parties hereto (including each Additional Lender) agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase, the Loans will be held by the Lenders (including, without limitation, any Additional Lenders), pro rata in accordance with the Pro Rata Percentages hereunder (after giving effect to the applicable Revolving Commitment Increase).

(e)This Section 2.21 shall supersede any provision herein to the contrary.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties

The Borrower and each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders, on the Effective Date and on each other date on which representations and warranties are required to be, or are deemed to be, made under the Loan Documents, that:
-82-

SECTION 3.01.    Organization; Powers.

The Transactions to be entered into by the Borrower and each Guarantor are within the Borrower’s and Guarantor’s corporate or other organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational and, if required, stockholder or other equityholder action of the Borrower and each Guarantor. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and each Guarantor and constitutes, and each other Loan Document, when executed and delivered by the Borrower and each Guarantor, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, winding-up or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with or any other action by any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and except to the extent failure to obtain any such consent, approval, registration, filing or other action would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not violate any applicable law, including any order of any Governmental Authority, except to the extent any such violations, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (c) do not require consent or approval, except such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect, under, and will not violate, the certificate or formation or limited liability company agreement of the Borrower, (d) will not violate or result (alone or with notice or lapse of time or both) in a default under any indenture or other agreement or instrument in respect of Material Indebtedness binding upon the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment, repurchase or redemption to be made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or give rise to a right of, or result in, any termination, cancellation, acceleration or right of renegotiation of any obligation thereunder, in each case except to the extent that the foregoing, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and (e) except for Permitted Liens or other Liens permitted under Section 6.02, will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

SECTION 3.04.    Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change.

(a)The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its audited consolidated balance sheet and related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows (i) as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and (ii) as of and for the fiscal quarter and the portion of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance in all material respects with GAAP, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and, in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above, the absence of footnotes.
-83-

(b)Since December 31, 2021, there has been no event or condition that has resulted, or would reasonably be expected to result, in a material adverse change in the business, assets, liabilities, operations or financial condition of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

notwithstanding the foregoing, no Guarantor shall cease to be a Guarantor solely as a result of such Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof if the transaction by which such Guarantor would become an Excluded Subsidiary was not entered into in connection with a sale or disposition of the Equity Interests of such Guarantor for fair market value to a third party that is not an Affiliate (or Related Party) of the Borrower for a bona fide business purpose. The Administrative Agent, at the Borrower’s expense, shall execute and deliver to the applicable Guarantor any documents or instruments as such Guarantor may reasonably request to evidence the release of such Guaranty.

(d)For the avoidance of doubt, in the event any Guarantor is released from its Guarantee pursuant to clause (c) above, the requirements of Section 5.10(a) shall no longer apply going forward with respect to such former Guarantor (and Section 5.10(a) shall not cause any springing Guarantee with respect to such released Guarantor after such release occurs).

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

Each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as the Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors to serve in the applicable capacity under the Loan Documents, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or Issuing Bank as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or Issuing Banks.

The Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, as applicable, shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and their duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers or any of their respective Related Parties, as applicable: (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such
-107-

term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties), (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent are required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders, Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability or be contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, (c) shall not have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, to any Lender, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, that is communicated to, obtained or in the possession of, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any of their Related Parties in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders, Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, (d) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it or its Related Parties with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders, Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment), (e) shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lenders, and shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s or each Arranger’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it in good faith to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan or issuance of any Letter of Credit that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as
-108-

applicable, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, prior to the making of such Loan or issuance of such Letter of Credit, as applicable. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it with reasonable care, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered on account of,
(i) any errors or omissions in the records maintained by the Administrative Agent as contemplated by Section 9.04(b)(iv) or (ii) any determination by the Administrative Agent that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or the effective date of such status, it being further understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to determine whether any Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

The Administrative Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent (other than a Disqualified Institution). The Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any of its sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Subject to the terms of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time from its capacity as such. In connection with such resignation, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to resign to the Lenders, Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) so long as no Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 shall have occurred and be continuing, to appoint a successor (other than a Disqualified Institution). If no successor 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 its intent to resign, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint, subject to the Borrower’s prior written consent, a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. If the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders or the Borrower may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as the Administrative Agent and, subject to the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) so long as no Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 shall have occurred and be continuing, appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (except for any indemnity payments or other amounts owed to it), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and such successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder
-109-

and under the other Loan Documents, and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, provided that (i) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the retiring Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the retiring Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the retiring Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender.
Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03, 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 or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

Each Lender and Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent or any Arranger hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers to any Lender or Issuing Bank as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers have disclosed material information in their (or their Related Parties’) possession. Each Lender and Issuing Bank represents to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any other Lender or Issuing Bank or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any other Lender or Issuing Bank or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and 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, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or any Arranger, acting in such capacities, have made any assurances as to (i) whether the Revolving Facility meets such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and sustainability performance, (ii) whether any characteristics of the Revolving Facility, including the characteristics of the relevant key performance indicators to which the Borrower will link a potential margin step-up or step-down, including their environmental and sustainability criteria, meet any industry standards for sustainability-linked credit facilities and each Lender and Issuing Bank has performed its own independent investigation and analysis of the Revolving Facility and whether the Revolving Facility meets its own criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and/or sustainability performance.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to the Borrower under any United States (Federal or state) or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, winding-up or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
-110-

a.to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid by the Borrower and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 9.03, 9.17, 9.20 and 9.21) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03).

Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article VIII included such Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Issuing Bank.

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, the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans or the Revolving Commitments, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable, and the conditions of such exemption have been satisfied, with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

In addition, unless clause (i) of the immediately preceding paragraph is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in clause
-111-

(iv) of the immediately preceding paragraph, such Lender further (a) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to and (b) 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, the Arrangers and their Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that: none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any of their 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).

The Administrative Agent and the Arrangers hereby inform the Lenders and the Issuing Banks that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the Transactions in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (a) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement, (b) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Revolving Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Revolving Commitments by such Lender or (c) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the Transactions, 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, utilization fees, minimum usage 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.

To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason, including because the appropriate documentation was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted. 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 amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from any other sources against any amounts due the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the expiration or termination of the Revolving Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this paragraph, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank and any Swingline Lender.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Arrangers shall not have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in their capacities, as applicable, as an Administrative Agent or a Lender), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities and exculpatory provisions provided for hereunder or thereunder.
-112-

The Lenders and the Issuing Banks irrevocably authorize and direct the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty automatically as set forth in Section 5.10(c) and authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Guarantor any documents or instruments as such Guarantor may reasonably request to evidence the release of such Guaranty.

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) 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 or Issuing Bank, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, 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 or such Issuing Bank, 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 and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, 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 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, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.

Each party’s obligations under this Article VIII shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 9.02.    Waivers; Amendments.

(a)No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

(b)Subject to Section 2.11(b), (c) and (d) and Section 9.02(c) below and except for those actions expressly permitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent, none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders and, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall
(i) increase the Revolving Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (but not the Required Lenders) (it being understood that the waiver of any condition precedent, the waiver of any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the default rate or the waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment of the Loans or mandatory reduction of any Revolving Commitments shall not constitute such an extension or increase), (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or any date for reimbursement of an LC Disbursement, or reduce the rate of interest thereon or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Lenders) (it being understood that the waiver of any condition precedent, the waiver of any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the default rate or the waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment of the Loans or mandatory reduction of any Revolving Commitments shall not constitute such an extension or increase), (iii) postpone the scheduled maturity date of any Loan, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Lenders) (subject to an extension of the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.18) (it being understood that the waiver of any condition precedent, the waiver of any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the default rate or the waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment of the Loans or mandatory reduction of any Revolving Commitments shall not constitute such an extension or increase), (iv) change Section 2.08, 2.15(b), 2.15(c) or 2.17(e) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Lenders), (v) change any of the provisions of this paragraph or reduce the percentage set forth in (x) the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or (y) 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 directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Lenders), provided that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the provisions of this paragraph and the definition of the term “Required Lenders” may be amended to include references to any new class of loans created under this Agreement (or to lenders extending such loans), (vi) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Loan Documents without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Lenders) (except as otherwise provided for in Section 5.10(c) or otherwise in the Loan Documents), (vii) subordinate the Obligations to
-115-

any other Indebtedness or obligation without the written consent of each Lender or (viii) change the definition of “Alternative Currency” or “Agreed Currency” without the written consent of each Lender and Issuing Bank directly and adversely affected thereby; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify, extend or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in an adverse manner in any material respect without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraph (b) of this Section:

(i)(A) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, mistake, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment and (B) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to enter into any new agreement or instrument, to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or as required by local law to give effect to any guaranty, so that the guaranty complies with applicable Law, and in each case, such amendments, documents and agreements shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document;

(ii)no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the first proviso of paragraph (b) of this Section and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be directly and adversely affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification;

(iii)if, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender”, “each Lender affected thereby”, or such similar phrase, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non- Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; provided that, concurrently with such replacement, the Borrower shall pay (or, in the case of clause (1) below, cause to be paid from the assignee) to such Non- Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Non-Consenting Lender’s Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, (2) an amount equal to all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination and (3) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.13 (if any) had the Loans of such Non- Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender. Each party hereto agrees that (a) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 9.02(c)(iii) may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and (b) 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 an 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, further that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto;
-116-

(iv)this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended in the manner provided in Sections 2.11, 2.18 and 2.21; and

(v)an amendment to this Agreement contemplated by the last sentence of the definition of the term “Applicable Rate” may be made pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.

(d)The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, waivers or other modifications on behalf of such Lender. Any amendment, waiver or other modification effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender.

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement, to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding hereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and (ii) to change, modify or alter Section 2.15 or any other provision hereof relating to pro rata sharing of payments among the Lenders to the extent necessary to effectuate any of the amendments (or amendments and restatements) enumerated in clause (e)(i) above.

SECTION 9.03.    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a)The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates (but limited to, in the case of legal fees, the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single external U.S. counsel, and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions), in each case, for the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates taken as a whole, in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, including the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (but limited to, in the case of legal fees, to the fees, charges and disbursements of one external counsel in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including during the continuance of an Event of Default all such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans (but limited to a single U.S. counsel, and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each other relevant material jurisdiction (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions), in each case, for the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, taken as a whole and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the party affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another external firm of U.S. counsel, if reasonably necessary, and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each other relevant material jurisdiction (which may include a single local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such affected Persons taken as a whole).

(b)The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Swingline Lender, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Related Party of any of the foregoing (each such Person being called an
-117-

“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all Liabilities and related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (but limited to a single U.S. counsel, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions), in each case, for the Indemnitees, taken as a whole and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of U.S. counsel, if reasonably necessary, and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each other relevant material jurisdiction (which may include a single local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for each group of similarly affected Indemnitees (taken as a whole)), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the performance by the parties to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents of their obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom or proposed use of proceeds, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary (or Person that was formerly a Subsidiary) of any of them, or any other Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary (or Person that was formerly a Subsidiary) of any of them, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether initiated against or by any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any third party (and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (1) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnitee Parties or (2) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnitee Parties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (B) arise from any dispute among the Indemnitees or any of their Related Indemnitee Parties, other than any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, Syndication Agents or Documentation Agents or any other titled person in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as such and other than any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund and return promptly any and all amounts actually paid by the Borrower to such Indemnitee under this paragraph for any Liabilities or expenses to the extent such Indemnitee is subsequently determined, by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment, to not be entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. This paragraph shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c)To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting its obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent). For purposes of this Section, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the aggregate amount of the Loans and unused Revolving Commitments at the time outstanding or in effect (or most recently outstanding or in effect, if none of the foregoing shall be outstanding or in effect at such time).
-118-

(d)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto shall not assert, or permit any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and the parties hereto hereby waives, any claim against the other parties hereto and each Related Party of any of the foregoing (each such Person being called a “Related Person”) (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) other than for direct, actual damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith, material breach or willful misconduct of such Related Person as determined by a final, non- appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders shall not assert, or permit any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and each of them hereby waives, any claim against the Borrower, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, that nothing in this paragraph (e) shall limit the Borrower’s indemnity and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section or separately agreed; provided that, nothing in this Section 9.03(e) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

(f)In addition, the indemnity set forth herein shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available with respect to any settlements effected without the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with the Borrower’s consent, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee in the manner set forth above (for the avoidance of doubt, it being understood that if there is a final judgment in any such proceeding, the indemnity set forth above shall apply (subject to the exceptions thereto set forth above)). Each Indemnitee shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in connection with the matters covered in this Section 9.03.

(g)All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04.    Successors and Assigns.

(a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) other than as expressly provided in Section 6.04(a)(B), the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender or Issuing Bank may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, sub-agents of the Administrative Agent, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section), the Arrangers and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the foregoing) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
-119-

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of:

(A)the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required (x) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (y) if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 shall have occurred and be continuing; provided further, in each case, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof;

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

(C)each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender.

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

(A)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Revolving Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 shall have occurred and be continuing and
(2) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof;

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

(C)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Platform), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that only one such processing and recordation fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments from any Lender or its Approved Funds to one or more other Approved Funds of such Lender; and

(D)the assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States (Federal or State) and foreign securities laws.

(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement
-120-

incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Platform) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03); provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.04(c).

(iv)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption with respect to the Revolving Facility delivered to it and records of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amount (and related interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v)Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Platform) executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that such Assignment and Assumption lacks any written consent required by this Section or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph, and following such recording, unless otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent (such determination to be made in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, which determination may be conditioned on the consent of the assigning Lender and the assignee), shall be effective notwithstanding any defect in the Assignment and Assumption relating thereto. Each assigning Lender and the assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the Administrative Agent that all written consents required by this Section with respect thereto (other than the consent of the Administrative Agent) have been obtained and that such Assignment and Assumption is otherwise duly completed and in proper form, and each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee.

(c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (“Participants”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments and Loans); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant or requires the approval of all the Lenders. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.14(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(f) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (x) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15 and 2.16 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (y) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14 with respect to any participation than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.16(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.15(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii)    Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non- fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain records of the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Revolving Commitments, Loans or other rights and/or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that any such Revolving Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) shall not have any responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)Any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or grant to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
-122-

(e)Disqualified Institutions.

(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, 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 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 written supplement to the list of “Disqualified Institutions” referred to in the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such assignee or participant shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or participant and (y) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment or participation in violation of this clause (e)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (e) shall apply.

(ii)If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.04), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Persons (other than a Disqualified 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 (A) will not have the right to (x) receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders (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, (B) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (C) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any Debtor Relief Laws (a “Bankruptcy Plan”), each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Bankruptcy Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Bankruptcy Plan 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 Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Bankruptcy Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief 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).

(iv)The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the
-123-

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 other 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 9.05.    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto or thereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit by each Issuing Bank, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Banks or any Related Party of any of the foregoing may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any Loan Document was executed and delivered or any credit was extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any interest accrued on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid (other than contingent obligations for indemnification, expense reimbursement or yield protection as to which no claim has been made) and so long as any of the Revolving Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15(d), 2.15(e), 9.03, 9.04, 9.17, 9.20, 9.21 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the expiration or termination of the Revolving Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06.    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a)This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery”, and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic signature and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower and each Loan Party hereby (A) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Borrower and the Loan Parties, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (B) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (C) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (D) waives any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any Liabilities arising 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 Borrower and/or any Loan Party to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature, except to the extent that such claim or Liabilities are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent and/or such Lender.

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

SECTION 9.08.    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
-125-

special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) or other amounts at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or by such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations then due of the Borrower 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 of the Borrower are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and each Affiliate of any Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or Affiliate may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 9.16.    Non-Public Information.

(a)Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain MNPI.

(b)The Borrower and each Lender acknowledges that, if information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement is being distributed by the Administrative Agent through the Platform, (i) the Administrative Agent may post any information that the Borrower has indicated as containing MNPI solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Private Side Lender Representatives and (ii) if the Borrower has not indicated whether any information furnished by it pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement contains MNPI, the Administrative Agent reserves the right to post such information solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Private Side Lender Representatives. The Borrower agrees to clearly designate all information provided to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the Borrower that is suitable to be made available to Public Side Lender Representatives, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such designation by the Borrower without liability or responsibility for the independent verification thereof.

(c)If the Borrower does not file this Agreement with the SEC, then the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute the execution version of this Agreement and the Loan Documents to all Lenders, including their Public Side Lender Representatives.

(d)The Borrower represents and warrants that none of the information contained in the Loan Documents constitutes or contains MNPI. To the extent that any of the executed Loan Documents at any time constitutes MNPI, the Borrower agrees that it will promptly make such information publicly available by press release or public filing with the SEC.

SECTION 9.17.    Erroneous Payments.

(a)If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, Issuing Bank, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank (any such Lender, Issuing Bank or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received
-129-

by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 9.17 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuing Bank or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment,
(y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Bank or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:
(i)it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii)such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.17(b).
For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.17(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.17(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.
(c)Each Lender or Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document with
-130-

respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under clause (a).
(d)The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower; provided that this Section 9.17 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from, or on behalf of (including through the exercise of remedies under any Loan Document), the Borrower for the purpose of a payment on the Obligations.

(e)To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, none of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their Affiliates shall have any obligations or liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of this Section 9.17 in respect of any Erroneous Payment (provided that the foregoing shall in no way limit the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).
Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

SECTION 9.18.    Acknowledgement 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 may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
-131-

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

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

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

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

SECTION 9.19.    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Contracts 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 or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)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.

(b)As used in this Section 9.19, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(i)a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b)
(ii)a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or
-132-

(iii)a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

SECTION 9.20.    Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each Issuing Bank severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

SECTION 9.21.    Judgment Currency.

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

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


ARTICLE X

Guarantees

SECTION 10.01. The Guarantees. To induce the Lenders to provide the Loans and Letters of Credit described herein and in consideration of benefits expected to accrue to the Borrower by reason of the Revolving Commitments and the Loans and Letters of Credit and for other good and valuable
-133-

consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor party hereto (including any Subsidiary executing an Additional Guarantor Supplement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (an “Additional Guarantor Supplement”) or such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and severally to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, the due and punctual payment of all present and future Obligations of the Borrower, in each case as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, according to the terms hereof or any other applicable Loan Document (including all interest, costs, fees, and charges after the entry of an order for relief against the Borrower or such other obligor in a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar proceeding, whether or not such interest, costs, fees and charges would be an allowed claim against the Borrower or any such obligor in any such proceeding). In case of failure by the Borrower punctually to pay any Obligations guaranteed hereby, each Guarantor of the Borrower’s Obligations under this Section 10.01 hereby unconditionally agrees to make such payment or to cause such payment to be made punctually as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Borrower.

SECTION 10.02.    Guarantee Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article X 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 the Borrower or other obligor or of any other guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by operation of law or otherwise;

(b)any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(c)any change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Borrower or other obligor, any other guarantor, or any of their respective assets, or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or other obligor or of any other guarantor contained in any Loan Document;

(d)the existence of any claim, set-off, or other rights which the Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor may have at any time against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection herewith;

(e)any failure to assert, or any assertion of, any claim or demand or any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights or remedies against the Borrower or other obligor, any other guarantor, or any other Person or property such Person;

(f)any application of any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any obligation of the Borrower or other obligor, regardless of what obligations of the Borrower or other obligor remain unpaid;

(g)any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor for any reason of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents; or
-134-

(h)any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever (other than payment or performance of the Obligations) that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of any Guarantor under this Article X.
Each Guaranty hereunder shall be a guaranty of payment and not of collection. SECTION 10.03.    Discharge Only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain
Circumstances. Except as set forth in Section 5.10 or the fifteenth paragraph of Article VIII, each
Guarantor’s obligations under this Article X shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by the Borrower or other obligor or any Guarantor under the Loan Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Borrower or other obligor or of any Guarantor, or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Article X with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had become due but had not been made at such time.

SECTION 10.04.    Subrogation. Each Guarantor agrees it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation by any payment made hereunder, or otherwise, until the Termination Date. If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders or be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.05.    Waivers. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest, and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person against the Borrower or other obligor, another guarantor, or any other Person.

SECTION 10.06.    Limit on Liability. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article X shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such Guaranty subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of applicable law.

SECTION 10.07.    Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower or other obligor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or such obligor, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders.

SECTION 10.08.    Benefit to Guarantors. The Borrower and the Guarantors are engaged in related businesses and integrated to such an extent that the financial strength and flexibility of the Borrower has a direct impact on the success of each Guarantor. Each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the extensions of credit hereunder.

SECTION 10.09. Guarantor Covenants. Each Guarantor shall take such action as the Borrower is required by this Agreement to cause such Guarantor to take, and shall refrain from taking such action as the Borrower is required by this Agreement to prohibit such Guarantor from taking.
-135-

SECTION 10.10.    Continuing Guarantee. Each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder is continuing in nature and applies to all of its Obligations, whether currently existing or hereafter incurred.

In furtherance of the Recitals set forth above, which are incorporated herein by reference, and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth below, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties acknowledge and agree to the following:

1.Storage Term. The Storage Term (defined in Section 1 of the Seventh Amendment and as amended in the Eighth Amendment) is hereby extended by an additional twelve (12) months (“Second Extended Storage Term”) commencing on November 1, 2022 and ending on October 31, 2023.

4.Certified Access Specialist. This Section 4 is intended to comply with the terms of California Civil Code Section 1938 which requires a commercial property owner or lessor to state the following on every lease or rental agreement executed on or after January 1, 2017:

“A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CAS inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction related accessibility standards within the premises.”

    Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938, Landlord hereby advises Tenant that the Premises has not undergone an inspection by a CASp. In accordance with the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that if Tenant requests a CASp inspection of the Premises, then Tenant shall pay (i) the fee for such inspection, and (ii) the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the Premises.

(ii)It is not engaged in this transaction, directly or indirectly on behalf of, or instigating or facilitating this transaction, directly or indirectly on behalf of, any such person, group, entity or nation.
(b)Indemnity. Tenant hereby agrees to defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and the Landlord Parties from and against any and all claims arising from or related to any such breach of the foregoing certifications, representations, warranties and covenants.

6.Disability Access Obligations Notice and Access Information Notice. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that, prior to the mutual execution and delivery of this Ninth Amendment, Landlord and Tenant have executed a Disability Access Obligations Notice pursuant to San Francisco Administrative Code Chapter 38 in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. In addition, Tenant acknowledges receipt from Landlord of an Access Information Notice in Tenant's requested language in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and Tenant hereby confirms that Tenant's requested language is English. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it otherwise might now or hereafter have under Section 1938 of the California Civil Code and Chapter 38 of the San Francisco Administrative Code.

7.Landlord Legal Fees. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable attorney fees incurred in the preparation and negotiation of this Seventh Amendment, up to a maximum of $2,500.00. Tenant shall pay such amounts to Landlord within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s written request.

8.Brokers. Tenant warrants to Landlord that Tenant has not dealt with any broker or agent in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Ninth Amendment.

10.Full Force and Effect. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Amended Lease is and remains in full force and effect and binding on the parties. Tenant confirms that Landlord is not now and has not in the past been in default under the Lease, and Tenant has no claim against Landlord for damages or offset of any type.

11.Authority. Each party acknowledges that it has all necessary right, title and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Ninth Amendment, that this Ninth Amendment is a binding obligation of such party and has been authorized by all requisite action under the party's governing instruments, that the individuals executing this Ninth Amendment on behalf of such party are duly authorized and designated to do so, and that no other signatories are required to bind such party.

12.Counterparts. This Ninth Amendment may be executed in one or more facsimile or pdf counterparts, each of which shall be deemed the original, but which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

DISABILITY ACCESS OBLIGATIONS UNDER
SAN FRANCISCO ADMINISTRATIVE CODE CHAPTER 38
Before you, as the Tenant, enter into a lease with us, the Landlord, for the certain property located at 888 Brannan Street, San Francisco, California (the "Property"); please be aware of the following important information about the lease:
You May Be Held Liable for Disability Access Violations on the Property. Even though you are not the owner of the Property, you, as the tenant, as well as the Property owner, may still be subject to legal and financial liabilities if the leased Property does not comply with applicable Federal and State disability access laws. You may wish to consult with an attorney prior to entering this lease to make sure that you understand your obligations under Federal and State disability access laws. The Landlord must provide you with a copy of the Small Business Commission Access Information Notice under Section 38.6 of the Administrative Code in your requested language. For more information about disability access laws applicable to small businesses, you may wish to visit the website of the San Francisco Office of Small Business or call 415-554-6134.
The Lease Must Specify Who Is Responsible for Making Any Required Disability Access Improvements to the Property. Under City law, the lease must include a provision in which you, the Tenant, and the Landlord agree upon your respective obligations and liabilities for making and paying for required disability access improvements on the leased Property. The lease must also require you and the Landlord to use reasonable efforts to notify each other if they make alterations to the leased Property that might impact accessibility under federal and state disability access laws. You may wish to review those provisions with your attorney prior to entering this lease to make sure that you understand your obligations under the lease.
PLEASE NOTE: The Property may not currently meet all applicable construction-related accessibility standards, including standards for public restrooms and ground floor entrances and exits.

Exhibit 10.4

SECOND AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE
This SECOND AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE (“Second Amendment”) is made and entered into effective as of September 27, 2022 (the “Second Amendment Effective Date”), by and between BCP-CG 650 PROPERTY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and AIRBNB, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).
R E C I T A L S :
A. Landlord (as successor-in-interest to Big Dog Holdings, LLC) and Tenant are parties to that certain Office Lease dated June 9, 2017 (the “Office Lease”), whereby Tenant currently leases approximately 294,966 rentable square feet of space (“RSF”) (the “Premises”), in the building located at 650 Townsend Street and 699 Eighth Street, San Francisco, California (the “Building”). The Office Lease, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated February 7, 2019 (the “First Amendment”), is referred to herein collectively as the “Lease”.
B. The Premises is comprised of (i) approximately 178,234 RSF on the street level, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th floors of the Building (the “Initial Premises”), and (ii) approximately 116,732 RSF on the 4th and 5th floors of the Building (the “Must-Take Space”).
C. The parties desire to (i) modify certain provisions of the Lease related to the amount and timing of the payment of the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”, as defined in Section 2.1 of the Tenant Work Letter attached to the Office Lease as Exhibit B, applicable to the Must-Take Space, and (ii) otherwise amend the Lease on the terms and conditions set forth in this Second Amendment.
A G R E E M E N T :
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals which are incorporated herein by reference and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Terms. All capitalized terms when used herein shall have the same respective meanings as are given such terms in the Lease unless expressly provided otherwise in this Second Amendment.
2. Tenant Improvement Allowance for Must-Take Space. The amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance to be provided for the Must-Take Space is hereby reduced from $105 per RSF of the Must-Take Space, to $60.00 per RSF of the Must-Take Space (the “Must-Take Allowance”). No portion of the Must-Take Allowance shall be used for the purchase or installation of furniture, fixtures, equipment, cabling, or other personal property, or used as a credit towards Rent due under the Lease. The Must-Take Allowance must be used only for Tenant Improvement Allowance Items to be located in the Must-Take Space (and no portion shall be used for items in the Initial Premises). Landlord acknowledges that Tenant shall not be obligated to spend any amounts in excess of the Must-Take Allowance on improvements to the Must-Take Space (provided that Tenant shall be obligated to fully pay for any work performed


by Tenant or on behalf of Tenant in the Must-Take Space to the extent the cost of such work exceeds the Must-Take Allowance).
3. Outside Date to Utilize Must-Take Allowance. The date by which Tenant is required to utilize the Must-Take Allowance, as provided in Section 2.1 of the Tenant Work Letter, is hereby extended from the date that is 24-months after the Must-Take Commencement Date, to December 31, 2024.
4. Use of Must-Take Allowance by Subtenants. Tenant shall be permitted to transfer its right to use the Must-Take Allowance to any “Transferee”, as defined in Section 14.1 of the Office Lease, of the Must-Take Space, which Transferee is properly approved by Landlord as provided in and to the extent required by Article 14 of the Office Lease, provided that the use of the Must-Take Allowance by any such Transferee shall continue to be subject to all of the applicable terms and conditions of the Lease and Tenant Work Letter, as the same may be modified by this Second Amendment.
5. Landlord’s Warranty Work. Landlord and Tenant agree that the “Landlord Warranty Period”, as defined in Section 1.2 of the Tenant Work Letter, has expired, and that Landlord shall have no further obligation to perform or pay for any Landlord’s Warranty Work.
6. No Option to Extend. Section 2.2 of the Office Lease is hereby deleted and of no further force or effect. Tenant shall have no further right to extend or renew the Lease Term.
7. No Recurring Right of Availability. Section 1.4 of the Office Lease is hereby deleted and of no further force or effect. Tenant shall have no further right to lease additional space in the Building.
8. No Roof Deck Rights. Section 5.5 of the Office Lease and Section 2.3 of the First Amendment are hereby deleted and of no further force or effect. Tenant shall have no further right to install or use any roof top deck or dog run located on the roof of the Building.
9. Landlord’s Entry to Atrium and Roof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to access the atrium areas of the Building and the Building rooftop at all times during the Lease Term, and to perform modifications to the atrium areas and rooftop in connection with accommodating Landlord’s installation of additional HVAC capacity in the Building and Project. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises and Building Common Areas in connection with any such work and to provide reasonable advance notice to Tenant of any scheduled entry or work (except in the case where such entry or work is necessitated due to an emergency), which notice shall describe the nature of the entry or work contemplated and the anticipated duration of the same.
10. Landlord Early Termination Right.
10.1 Termination Right. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord an ongoing right to terminate the Lease with respect to all or any full floor of the Premises, which right may be exercised on multiple occasions during the remaining Lease Term (the “Landlord Termination Right”). Landlord shall exercise the Landlord Termination Right by delivering not less than 90-
days prior written notice to Tenant (the “Termination Notice”), which Termination Notice shall indicate (i) the full floor or floors of the Premises as to which Landlord is electing to terminate the Lease (the “Terminated Space”), and (ii) the elected date of termination (the “Termination


Date”) which Termination Date shall not be less than 90-days nor more than twelve (12) months after the date of delivery of the Termination Notice. If Landlord exercises the Landlord Termination Right as provided above, then the Lease shall terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to the Terminated Space as of the Termination Date, and Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of their respective obligations under the Lease with respect to the Terminated Space, except those obligations under the Lease which expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease (including, without limitation, the payment by Tenant of all amounts owed by Tenant under the Lease with respect to the Terminated Space through and including the Termination Date). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall vacate and surrender possession of the Terminated Space to Landlord on or before such Termination Date in the condition otherwise required to be vacated and surrendered at the end of the Lease Term. In the event Tenant fails to so surrender the Terminated Space to Landlord on or before the Termination Date, the holdover provisions of Article 16 of the Office Lease shall apply (it being understood and agreed that any holdover rent for purposes of Terminated Space will be based upon, and limited to, the rentable square footage of the Terminated Space).
10.2 Termination Fee. If Landlord exercises the Landlord Termination Right, then Tenant shall be required to pay a fee (the “Termination Fee”) to Landlord, on or before the applicable Termination Date, for the applicable Terminated Space. The Termination Fee shall be equal to thirty percent (30%) of the total amount of (i) the Base Rent and (ii) Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses that would have been payable with respect to the Terminated Space from the Termination Date through the natural expiration of the Lease Term (for purposes of calculating the portion of the Termination due under this item (ii), the then current “Estimated Excess” as defined in Section 4.4.2 of the Office Lease, shall be used for the remainder of the then calendar year, and on January 1 of each calendar year occurring during the remainder of the then Lease Term, the “Estimated Excess” shall be deemed to increase by the “Growth Factor” (as defined herein), provided that in no event shall the Growth Factor exceed 5%. For purposes hereof, the “Growth Factor” shall mean the percentage increase in then “CPI,” as defined below, published most recent to the applicable Termination Date over the CPI for the same month for the immediately preceding calendar year. Tenant’s obligation to pay the Termination Fee shall survive the termination of the Lease with respect to the Terminated Space as well as any subsequent expiration of the Lease Term. For purposes of this Section 10.2, “CPI” shall mean the index of the "All Items" Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers for the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA, 1982-84=100, compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics or any successor agency or successor index.
10.3 Tenant Right to Sublease. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 10.1, above, Tenant shall have the right to suspend Landlord’s Termination Right with respect to any portion of the Premises as to which Tenant is prepared to enter into a sublease with a third party (the “Proposed Sublease Space”), by giving written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intention to sublease such space, which notice shall (i) designate the Proposed Sublease Space, and (ii) include evidence that Tenant has entered into or is in the process of finalizing a letter of intent or proposal to sublease with respect to such Proposed Sublease Space (the “Subleasing Notice”). If Landlord fails to exercise the Landlord Termination Right with respect to the Proposed Sublease Space within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Subleasing Notice, then (a) the Landlord Termination Right shall be suspended for a period of ninety (90) days from the end of such 30-day period (or from such earlier date that Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord will not be exercising the Landlord Termination Right) with respect to the Proposed Sublease Space (the “Suspension Period”), and (b) if Tenant enters into a sublease of the Proposed Sublease Space (as sublet, the “Sublet Space”) prior to the end of the Suspension Period, then so long as such


sublease remains in effect Landlord shall have no further Landlord Termination Right with respect to the Sublet Space.
11. Counterparts. This Second Amendment may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, with the same force and effect as if all required signatures were contained in a single, original instrument.
12. Manner of Execution. This Second Amendment may be executed via facsimile, pdf or electronic signature (e.g., via DocuSign), and Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that the same shall be fully effective in the same manner as if both parties hereto had executed the same document in original counterparts by hand. .
13. No Further Modification. Except as specifically set forth in this Second Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Second Amendment has been executed as of the Second Amendment Effective Date.
