(f/k/a AXA Equitable Holdings, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”), the Subsidiary Account Parties party thereto and LANDESBANK HESSEN-THÜRINGEN GIROZENTRALE, acting through its New York Branch, as LC Issuer (the “LC Issuer”).
WHEREAS, the Obligors have requested that the LC Issuer agree to extend the Commitment Termination Date, which was set to expire on February 16, 2028 under the Reimbursement Agreement prior to this Sixth Amendment, by one year as provided for herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the material agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1.Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Sixth Amendment but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Reimbursement Agreement.
Section 2.Amendments. Effective as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), Section 2.01(e) of the Reimbursement Agreement is hereby restated in its entirety as follows:
(a)“(e) Extensions to the Commitment Termination Date. So long as (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the relevant anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) the LC Issuer has not given written notice of non-extension to the Obligors no later than on or before 90 days prior to the relevant anniversary of the Effective Date, the Commitment Termination Date will be extended by one additional year as of each of the first six anniversaries of the Effective Date, such that if each of the six extensions take effect, the final Commitment Termination Date shall be eleven years from the Effective Date; provided, however, the then-existing Commitment Termination Date will not be eligible for further extension following the occurrence of a Sell Down Event.”

the Guarantor or (z) any material agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon the Guarantor or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Guarantor, except in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and (z) to the extent such contravention or default, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b)Binding Effect.
