“Applicable Margin” means, (a) with respect to each Revolving Loan, the respective percentages per annum determined, at any time, based on the range into which Borrower’s Credit Rating then falls, in accordance with the following table:

Range of Borrower’s Credit Rating* | Applicable Margin for Term Benchmark Revolving Loans and RFR Loans (% per annum) | Applicable Margin for Base Rate Revolving Loans (% per annum)
A-/A3 or better | 0.725% | 0.000%
BBB+/Baal | 0.775% | 0.000%

<BBB-/Baa3 or unrated | 1.450% | 0.450%

* Applicable rating for purposes of determining the Applicable Margin is Borrower’s Credit Rating and if there are only two Borrower’s Credit Ratings, then it will be the higher of the two. In the event that the Borrower’s Credit Ratings are more than one level apart, the median rating will be used. If there are three Borrower’s Credit Ratings and such ratings are split, then, if the difference between the highest and lowest is one level apart, it will be the highest of the three, but if the difference is more than one level, the rating will be the average of the two highest (or if such average is not a recognized category, then the second highest rating will be used). If there is only one Borrower’s Credit Rating, the Applicable Margin shall be based on such rating. Any change in the Borrower’s Credit Rating causing it to move into a different range on the table shall be effective as of the third Business Day following the date on which such change is first announced by the applicable rating agency.
Should Borrower (or General Partner) lose its Investment Grade Rating from both S&P and Moody’s, pricing will revert to the unrated portion of the table above. Upon reinstatement of such Investment Grade Rating from either S&P or Moody’s, pricing will revert to the rated pricing table above.
It is hereby understood and agreed that the Applicable Margin with respect to Base Rate Loans, Term Benchmark Loans, and RFR Loans shall be adjusted from time to time on an annual basis based upon the Sustainability Rate Adjustment (to be calculated and applied as set forth in Section 2.20); provided that in no event shall the Applicable Margin be less than zero.
and (b) with respect to Term Loans made pursuant to Section 9.17, the applicable margin with respect thereto as set forth in the Additional Credit Extension Amendment establishing such Term Loans.
“Approved Borrower Portal” has the meaning set forth in Section 9.1(e).
“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Bank, (b) an Affiliate of a Bank or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Bank.

“Availability Period” has the meaning set forth in Section 2.9.
“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof), as applicable, that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period for any term rate or otherwise, for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (e) of Section 8.1.

“Bank” means each bank listed on the signature pages hereof, each Assignee which becomes a Bank pursuant to Section 9.6(c), and their respective successors.
“Bankruptcy Code” means Title 11 of the United States Code, entitled “Bankruptcy”, as amended from time to time, and any successor statute or statutes.
“Bankruptcy Event” means, with respect to any Person, such Person becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee, administrator, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with the reorganization or liquidation of its business appointed for it, or, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any such proceeding or appointment, provided that a Bankruptcy Event shall not result solely by virtue of any ownership interest, or the acquisition of any ownership interest, in such Person by a Governmental Authority or instrumentality thereof, unless such ownership interest results in or provides such Person with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts

Any change in the Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, respectively. If the Base Rate is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 8.1 (for the avoidance of doubt, only until the Benchmark Replacement has been determined pursuant to Section 8.1(b)), then the Base Rate shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Base Rate as determined pursuant to the foregoing would be less than 1.0%, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.0% for purposes of this Agreement.

“Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time in the United States and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.
6

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to the above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and/or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.
“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement and/or any Term Benchmark Loan, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “U.S. Government Securities Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides (in consultation with the Borrower) may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides (in consultation with the Borrower) that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines (in consultation with the Borrower) that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).
“Benchmark Replacement Date” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:
(1)in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
(2)in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or
7

component thereof) have been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be no longer representative; provided, that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (3) and even if such Benchmark (or component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
“Benchmark Transition Event” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:

(a)Upon receipt of a Notice of Committed Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Bank on the same day as it receives the Notice of Committed Borrowing of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s share of such Borrowing. Any Notice of Committed Borrowing may be conditioned on the satisfaction of one or more conditions set forth therein, in which case such Notice of Committed Borrowing may be withdrawn by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of the requested Borrowing if such conditions shall not have been satisfied; provided that the Borrower shall pay any amounts due under Section 2.13, if any, in connection with any such withdrawal
(b)Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of each Committed Borrowing, each applicable Bank shall make available its share of such Committed Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1. The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Banks available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address. If the Borrower has requested the issuance of a Letter of Credit, no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of such issuance as indicated in the notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(b), a Fronting Bank shall issue such Letter of Credit in the amount so requested and deliver the same to the Borrower with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent. At the request of any Revolving Credit Bank, the Administrative Agent promptly shall deliver copies thereof to such Revolving Credit Bank.

41

such Revolving Credit Bank’s ratable share thereof (based upon the ratio its Revolving Commitment bears to the aggregate of all Revolving Commitments). Upon any change in any of the Revolving Commitments in accordance herewith, there shall be an automatic adjustment to such participations to reflect such changed shares. The applicable Fronting Bank shall have the primary obligation to fund any and all draws made with respect to such Letter of Credit notwithstanding any failure of a participating Revolving Credit Bank to fund its ratable share of any such draw. Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent will instruct the applicable Fronting Bank to make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower and the applicable Fronting Bank shall make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at the Borrower’s aforesaid address or at such address in the United States as Borrower shall request on the date of the Borrowing.
(c)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.4 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.7 and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Bank may exchange, continue or roll over all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Bank.
Section 2.5 Notes.
(a)At the request of any Bank, its Loans shall be evidenced by the Notes, each of which shall be payable to each applicable Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office in an amount equal to each such Bank’s Commitment.
(b)Each Bank may, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, request that its Loans of a particular Class be evidenced by a separate Note in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Bank’s Loans of such Class. Each such Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2 hereto, as applicable, with appropriate modifications to reflect the fact that it evidences solely Loans of the relevant Class for such Bank.
42

Each reference in this Agreement to the “Note” of such Bank shall be deemed to refer to and include any or all of such Notes, as the context may require.
(c)Upon receipt of each Bank’s Note, the Administrative Agent shall forward such Note to such Bank. Each Bank shall record the date, amount, type and maturity of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto, and may, if such Bank so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note, endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided that the failure of any Bank to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Each Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Notes and to attach to and make a part of its Notes a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.
(d)There shall be no more than twenty (20) Term Benchmark Borrowings outstanding at any one time pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 2.6 Maturity of Loans. The Revolving Loans, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2, shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, and the Borrower promises to pay the Revolving Loans, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Any Term Loans shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, and the Borrower promises to pay such Term Loans, on the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date.
Section 2.7 Interest Rates.
(a)Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans for the applicable Class of Loans plus the Base Rate for such day. Such interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan.
(b)Each Term Benchmark Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin for Term Benchmark Loans for the applicable Class of Loans plus the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period. Such interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan.
(c)Each RFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin for RFR Loans that are Revolving Loans plus the Adjusted Daily Effective SOFR Rate for such day. Such interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan.
(d)In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of all Loans, shall bear interest at the annual rate of the sum of the Base Rate and two percent (2%).
43

(e)The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
Section 2.8 Fees.
(a)Facility Fee.
(i)During the Availability Period, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments, a facility fee on the full Revolving Loan Amount at the respective percentages per annum based upon the Borrower’s Credit Rating in accordance with the following table:

Borrower’s Credit Rating | Facility Fee
A-/A3 or better | 0.125%
BBB+/Baa1 | 0.150%
BBB/Baa2 | 0.200%
BBB-/Baa3 | 0.250%
<BBB-/Baa3 or unrated | 0.300%

(ii)The facility fee shall be payable at all times (quarterly in arrears), irrespective of usage, on each January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15 during the Availability Period and any extensions thereof. Any change in the Borrower’s Credit Rating causing it to move into a different range on the table shall be effective as of the third Business Day following the date on which such change is first announced by the applicable rating agency. If there are only two Borrower’s Credit Ratings, it will be the higher of the two. In the event that the Borrower’s Credit Ratings are more than one level apart, the median rating will be used. If there are three Borrower’s Credit Ratings, and such ratings are split, then, if the difference between the highest and lowest is one level apart, it will be the highest of the three, but if the difference is more than one level, the rating will be the average of the two highest (or if such average is not a recognized category, then the second highest rating will be used). If there is only one Borrower’s Credit Rating, the facility fee shall be based on such rating. Should Borrower (or General Partner) lose its Investment Grade Rating from both S&P and Moody’s, the facility fee will revert to the unrated portion of the table above. Upon reinstatement of such Investment Grade Rating from either S&P or Moody’s, the facility fee will revert to the rated pricing table above.
(b)Letter of Credit Fee. During the Availability Period, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Credit Banks in proportion to their interests in respect of undrawn issued Letters of Credit, a fee (a “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, equal to a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin with respect to Term Benchmark Revolving Loans on the daily outstanding balance of such issued and undrawn Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable, quarterly in arrears, on each January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 during the Availability Period. From the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default,
44

such fee shall be increased to be equal to two percent (2%) per annum on the daily outstanding balance of such issued and undrawn Letters of Credit.
(c)Fronting Bank Fee. The Borrower shall pay any Fronting Bank, for its own account, a fee (a “Fronting Bank Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to 0.125% of the issued and undrawn amount of the Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the applicable Fronting Bank), in no cases less than $500, in addition to each Fronting Bank’s customary administrative charges related to the issuance or amendment of, or drawing upon, Letters of Credit, which fee shall be in addition to and not in lieu of, the Letter of Credit Fee. The Fronting Bank Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 during the Availability Period.
(d)Fees Non-Refundable. All fees set forth in this Section 2.8 shall be deemed to have been earned on the date payment is due in accordance with the provisions hereof and shall be non-refundable. The obligation of the Borrower to pay such fees in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks regardless of whether any Loans are actually made.
Section 2.9 Mandatory Termination or Reduction. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 6.2, the term (the “Availability Period”) of the Revolving Commitments shall commence on the Closing Date and terminate and expire, and the Borrower shall return or cause to be returned all Letters of Credit to the Fronting Banks, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
Section 2.10 Mandatory Prepayment.
(a)In the event that an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property (or any Separate Parcel that originally formed a part of an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property) is sold, transferred or released from the restrictions of Section 5.11 hereof, the Borrower shall, simultaneously with such sale, transfer or release, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds of such sale or transfer, in the event of a sale or transfer, or such lesser amount as shall be required for the Borrower to remain in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 5.8, in the event of such a sale, transfer or release. Such prepayments shall be applied to either the Revolving Credit Facility or the Term Loan Facility (if any) as directed by the Borrower; provided, however, that if Borrower fails to give such direction, such prepayments shall first be applied to the Revolving Credit Facility, and then to the Term Loan Facility (if any) if such prepayment amounts are needed for the Borrower to remain in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 5.8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a simultaneous like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code will not be subject to the provisions of this Section 2.10(a), provided that the exchanged property has qualified as a New Acquisition and any cash “boot” associated therewith shall be applied to prepayment of the Loans or such lesser amount of such cash “boot” as shall be required for the Borrower to remain in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 5.8. Sale of an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property (or any Separate Parcel that originally formed a part of a Unencumbered Asset Pool Property) in violation of this Section 2.10 shall constitute an Event of Default.
(b)In the event that the Unsecured Debt Ratio is not maintained as of the last day of a calendar quarter, either (i) the Borrower will add a Real Property Asset to the
45

Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties in accordance with this Agreement which, on a pro forma basis (i.e. the Unsecured Debt Ratio shall be recalculated to include such Real Property Asset as though the same had been an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property for the entire applicable period) would result in compliance with the Unsecured Debt Ratio, or (ii) the Borrower shall prepay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Banks, an amount necessary to cause the Unsecured Debt Ratio to be in compliance within ninety (90) days of the date on which the Unsecured Debt Ratio failed to be maintained. Such prepayments shall be applied to either the Revolving Credit Facility or the Term Loan Facility (if any) as directed by the Borrower; provided, however, that if Borrower fails to give such direction, such prepayments shall first be applied to the Revolving Credit Facility, and then to the Term Loan Facility (if any) if such prepayment amounts are needed for the Borrower to remain in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 5.8. Failure by the Borrower to comply with the Unsecured Debt Ratio within ninety (90) days of the date of such non-compliance shall be an Event of Default.
Section 2.11 Commitment Reductions; Optional Prepayments.
(a)The Borrower may, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent (by 12:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day), prepay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Banks, any Base Rate Borrowing or RFR Borrowing in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in minimum amounts aggregating One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), or an integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof or, if less, the outstanding principal balance, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several applicable Banks included in such Borrowing.
(b)Except as provided in Section 8.2, the Borrower may not prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of any Term Benchmark Loan prior to the maturity thereof unless the Borrower shall also pay any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 2.13. Any such prepayment shall be upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (by 2:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day) (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent), and the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Banks of receipt of any such notice on the same Business Day as received by it. Any notice of prepayment delivered pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall set forth the amount of such prepayment which is applicable to any Loan made for working capital purposes. Each such optional prepayment shall be in the amounts set forth in Section 2.11(a) above and shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the applicable Banks included in such Borrowing.
(c)The Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent (by 2:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day), reimburse the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Fronting Banks for the amount of any drawing under a Letter of Credit in whole or in part in any amount.
(d)The Borrower may at any time return any undrawn Letter of Credit to a Fronting Bank in whole, but not in part, and such Fronting Bank shall give the Administrative Agent and each of the Revolving Credit Banks notice of such return.
46

(e)The Borrower may at any time and from time to time cancel all or any part of the unused Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility in amounts aggregating One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), or an integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof, by the delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Banks of a notice of cancellation upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and such Revolving Credit Banks, whereupon, all or such portion of the Revolving Commitments shall terminate as to such Revolving Credit Banks, pro rata on the date set forth in such notice of cancellation; provided that after giving effect to any such reduction of the Revolving Commitments the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans plus the Letter of Credit Usage may not exceed the Revolving Loan Amount (after giving effect to the foregoing reduction in the Revolving Commitments) and, if there are any Revolving Loans then outstanding in an aggregate amount which exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments (after giving effect to any such reduction), the Borrower shall prepay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Revolving Credit Banks, all or such portion of the Revolving Loans outstanding on such date in accordance with the requirements of Sections 2.11(a) and (b). The Borrower shall be permitted to designate in its notice of cancellation which Revolving Loans, if any, are to be prepaid. A reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.11(e) shall reduce the Revolving Loan Amount.
(f)The Borrower may at any time and from time to time cancel all or any part of the unused Commitments under the Term Loan Facility (if any) in minimum amounts aggregating One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), or an integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof, by the delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Term Loan Banks of a notice of cancellation upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and such Term Loan Banks, whereupon, all or such portion of the Term Loan Commitments shall terminate as to such Term Loan Banks, pro rata on the date set forth in such notice of cancellation, and, if there are any Term Loans then outstanding in an aggregate amount which exceeds the aggregate Term Loan Commitments (after giving effect to any such reduction), the Borrower shall prepay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Term Loan Banks, all or such portion of the Term Loans outstanding on such date in accordance with the requirements of Sections 2.11(a) and (b). The Borrower shall be permitted to designate in its notice of cancellation which Term Loans, if any, are to be prepaid.
(g)Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment or cancellation or a return of a Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day, notify each Revolving Credit Bank of the contents thereof and of such Revolving Credit Bank’s ratable share (if any) of such prepayment. A notice of prepayment or cancellation under 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 written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment or cancellation) if such condition is not satisfied; provided that the Borrower shall pay any amounts due under Section 2.13, if any, in connection with any such revocation
(h)Any amounts so prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.11 with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility only may be reborrowed subject to the other terms of this Agreement. In the event that the Borrower elects to cancel all or any portion of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.11(e) hereof, such cancellation shall be irrevocable and such amounts may not be reborrowed. In the event that the Borrower elects to cancel all or any portion of the Term
47

Loan Commitments pursuant to Section 2.11(f) hereof, such cancellation shall be irrevocable and such amounts may not be reborrowed.
Section 2.12 General Provisions as to Payments.
(a)The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees hereunder, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent), in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1. The Administrative Agent will distribute to each applicable Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Banks on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received by the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), or, if received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the immediately following Business Day (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent). If the Administrative Agent shall fail to distribute to a Bank its ratable share of a payment on the same day it is received or the immediately following Business Day, as applicable in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall pay to such Bank the interest accrued on such payment at the Federal Funds Rate, commencing on the day the Administrative Agent should have made the payment to such Bank and ending on the day prior to the date payment is actually made. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or RFR Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Term Benchmark Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans (if any) shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by each Term Loan Bank. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of each Revolving Credit Bank. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees hereunder shall be made without set-off or counterclaim.
(b)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.
48

(c)All payments made on the Loans shall be credited, to the extent of the amount thereof, in the following manner, in each case ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts then due to such party: (a) first, against all costs, expenses and other fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising under the terms hereof, of which, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower has received notice pursuant to the terms hereof, (b) second, against the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on the Loans as of the date of such payment, (c) third, against all principal due and owing on the Loans as of the date of such payment, and (d) fourth, to all other amounts constituting any portion of the Obligations.
(d)If any Bank is a Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent may (or at the request of the Borrower, shall), in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Banks to satisfy such Bank’s obligations to it hereunder until such Bank is not a Defaulting Lender, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Bank hereunder, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.
Section 2.13 Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan (pursuant to Article II, VI or VIII or otherwise, and specifically including any payments made pursuant to Sections 2.10 or 2.11) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails to borrow any Term Benchmark Loans, after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.4(a), or to prepay any Term Benchmark Loans, after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.11(b), the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing Participant in the related Loan; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive more than the Bank, with respect to which such Participant is a Participant, would be entitled to receive under this Section 2.13), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or failure to borrow, provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense and the calculation thereof, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
Section 2.14 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on the Prime Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
49

Section 2.15 Method of Electing Interest Rates.
(a)The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Committed Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject in each case to the provisions of Article VIII), as follows:
(i)if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans as of any Business Day;
(ii)if such Loans are Term Benchmark Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or RFR Loans or elect to continue such Loans as Term Benchmark Loans for an additional Interest Period, in each case effective on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loans; or
(iii)if such Loans are RFR Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Term Benchmark Loans or to Base Rate Loans as of any Business Day.
Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”) to the Administrative Agent signed by an authorized officer of the Borrower (provided that if such Notice of Interest Rate Election is submitted through an Approved Borrower Portal, such signature requirement may be waived at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent) at least three (3) Business Days before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective (unless the relevant Loans are to be converted or continued as Base Rate Loans or RFR Loans, in which case such notice shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day such conversion or continuation is to be effective). A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group, (ii) the portion to which such notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each $1,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, (iii) there shall be no more than twenty (20) Borrowings, comprised of Term Benchmark Loans outstanding at any time under this Agreement, (iv) no Loan may be continued as, or converted into, a Term Benchmark Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (v) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the applicable Maturity Date.
(b)Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:
(i)the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;
(ii)the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of subsection (a) above;
(iii)if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new type of Loans and, if such new Loans are Term Benchmark Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto; and
50

(iv)if such Loans are to be continued as Term Benchmark Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.
Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.
(c)Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank on the same day as it receives such Notice of Interest Rate Election of the contents thereof. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may state that such Notice of Interest Rate Election is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such Notice of Interest Rate Election may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of such Notice of Interest Rate Election) if such condition is not satisfied; provided that the Borrower shall pay any amounts due under Section 2.13, if any, in connection with any such revocation. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Election to the Administrative Agent for any Group of Term Benchmark Loans, such Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto.
Section 2.16 Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to the (a) terms contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including Section 2.1 hereof, upon the receipt of a notice in accordance with Section 2.2(b) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, a Fronting Bank shall issue a Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit in such form as is reasonably acceptable to the Fronting Bank and the Borrower in an amount or amounts equal to the amount or amounts requested by the Borrower; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 20 Letters of Credit outstanding. Letters of Credit issued and outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement are Letters of Credit for purposes of this Agreement.
A Fronting Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit if:
(i)Any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Fronting Bank from issuing, amending or extending, as the case may be, such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Fronting Bank shall prohibit, or require that such Fronting Bank refrain from, the issuance, amendment or extension of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Fronting Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Fronting Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Fronting Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Closing Date and that such Fronting Bank in good faith deems material to it; or
(ii)The issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Fronting Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.
51

(b)Each Letter of Credit shall be issued in the minimum amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).
(c)The Letter of Credit Usage shall be no more than One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) at any one time and the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by a Fronting Bank at such time plus the aggregate amount of all LC Disbursements made by such Fronting Bank that have not yet been reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower at such time shall not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment unless such Fronting Bank has consented to issue Letters of Credit in excess of its Letter of Credit Commitment.
(d)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Fronting Bank shall have any obligation hereunder to issue any Letter of Credit the proceeds of which would be made to any Person which to the knowledge of such Fronting Bank is a Sanctioned Person.
(e)In the event of any request for a drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereunder, the applicable Fronting Bank(s) shall endeavor to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall endeavor to notify each Revolving Credit Bank thereof) on or before the date on which such Fronting Bank(s) intend to honor such drawing, and, except as provided in this subsection (e), the Borrower shall reimburse such Fronting Bank(s), by paying to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such drawing is honored, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such drawing prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, however, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Banks prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such drawing that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Fronting Banks for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of the Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Committed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2 to the Administrative Agent, requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolving Loans on the date on which such drawing is honored and in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. Each Revolving Credit Bank (other than the Fronting Banks) shall, in accordance with Section 2.4(b), make available its share of such Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Fronting Banks for the amount of such draw. In the event that any such Revolving Credit Bank fails to make available to the Fronting Banks the amount of such Revolving Credit Bank’s participation on the date of a drawing, the Fronting Banks (through the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Credit Bank together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate commencing on the date such drawing is honored.
(f)If, at the time a beneficiary under any Letter of Credit requests a drawing thereunder, an Event of Default as described in Section 6.1(f) or Section 6.1(g) shall have occurred and is continuing, then on the date on which a Fronting Bank shall have honored such drawing, the Borrower shall have an unreimbursed obligation (the “Unreimbursed Obligation”) to such Fronting Bank in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, which amount shall bear interest at the annual rate of the sum of the Base Rate plus two percent (2%). Each Revolving Credit Bank
52

shall purchase an undivided participating interest in the Unreimbursed Obligation in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof, and upon receipt thereof the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Revolving Credit Bank an Unreimbursed Obligation participation certificate dated the date of the applicable Fronting Bank’s receipt of such funds and in the amount of such Revolving Credit Bank’s Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof.
(g)If, after the date hereof, any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or governmental authority charged with the administration thereof shall either (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by, or assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or participations in any letter of credit, upon any Revolving Credit Bank (including any Fronting Bank) or (ii) impose on any Revolving Credit Bank any other condition regarding this Agreement or such Revolving Credit Bank (including any Fronting Bank) as it pertains to the Letters of Credit or any participation therein and the result of any event referred to in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall be to increase, by an amount deemed by such Fronting Bank or such Revolving Credit Bank to be material, the cost to such Fronting Bank or any Revolving Credit Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or participating therein then the Borrower shall pay to such Fronting Bank or such Revolving Credit Bank, within 15 days after written demand by such Revolving Credit Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of such amount or amounts, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Fronting Bank or such Revolving Credit Bank for such increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder.
(h)The Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save each Fronting Bank harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) which any Fronting Bank may incur or be subject to as a result of the issuance of the Letters of Credit, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Fronting Bank as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. As between the Borrower and a Fronting Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuses of, the Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank, by the beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, no Fronting Bank shall be responsible (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of such Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or insufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any message, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile transmission, or otherwise; (v) for errors in interpretation of any technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any documents required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Fronting Bank, in each case other
53

than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Fronting Bank as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any Fronting Bank’s rights and powers hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by a Fronting Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Fronting Bank under any resulting liability to the Borrower.
(i)If a Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required at any time, pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or reorganization law or otherwise, to return to the Borrower any reimbursement by the Borrower of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Bank shall pay to such Fronting Bank (through the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, its share of such payment, but without interest thereon unless such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required to pay interest on such amounts to the person recovering such payment, in which case with interest thereon, computed at the same rate, and on the same basis, as the interest that such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required to pay.
(j)A Fronting Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Fronting Bank and the successor Fronting Bank; provided that if the successor Fronting Bank is not an Eligible Assignee, then the consent of the Required Banks shall also be required for such replacement. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Banks of any such replacement of a Fronting Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 2.8. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Fronting Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Fronting Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and
(ii) references herein to the term “Fronting Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Fronting Bank, or to such successor and all previous Fronting Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of a Fronting Bank hereunder, the replaced Fronting Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Fronting 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. Subject to and conditioned on the appointment and acceptance of a successor Fronting Bank, any Fronting Bank may resign as a Fronting Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Banks, in which case, such Fronting Bank shall be replaced as set forth above.
Section 2.17 Letter of Credit Usage Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (as the same may be amended from time to time) and any Letter of Credit Documents (as hereinafter defined) under all circumstances, including, without limitation, to the extent permitted by law, the following circumstances:
(a)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Documents”) or any Loan Document;
54

(b)any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent by the Borrower to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents or any Loan Document; provided, that no Fronting Bank shall consent to any such change or amendment unless previously consented to in writing by the Borrower;
(c)any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Letters of Credit;
(d)the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Fronting Bank or any Revolving Credit Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Letters of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction;
(e)any draft or any other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or other Loan Document proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(f)payment by a Fronting Bank against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit; and
(g)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever other than the payment in full of all obligations hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower.
Neither the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Bank nor any Fronting Bank, nor any of their respective 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, document, 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 the respective Fronting Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Fronting 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 Fronting Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of a Fronting Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Fronting Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents
55

presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Fronting 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.
Section 2.18 Extension Option. The Borrower may extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date two (2) times only for a period of six (6) months per extension upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions for each extension: (i) delivery by the Borrower of a written notice to the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Notice”) on or before a date that is not more than one hundred twenty (120) days nor less than one (1) month prior to the then scheduled Revolving Credit Maturity Date, which Extension Notice Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to the Revolving Credit Banks and which Extension Notice shall include a certification dated as of the date of such Extension Notice signed by a duly authorized signatory of the Borrower, stating, to the best of the certifying party’s knowledge, (x) all representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in each of the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is qualified by “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or a similar qualifier, in which case it shall be true and correct in all respects) and as of the date of such Extension Notice (except in those cases where such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is qualified by “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or a similar qualifier, in which case it shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents), and (y) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the original Revolving Credit Maturity Date (an “Extension Date”), and (iii) the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent on or before such Extension Date a fee equal to 0.0625% of the Revolving Loan Amount for each extension on such Extension Date, which fee shall be distributed by Administrative Agent pro rata to each of the Revolving Credit Banks based on each Bank’s Revolving Commitment Percentage.
Section 2.19 Extending Facilities. Subject to the rights of Borrower to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in Section 2.18 above:
(a)The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or any portion of Term Loans (if any) or Revolving Loans or the Revolving Commitment with a like maturity date (an “Existing Loan Facility”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, and to otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments to the extent not prohibited in this Section 2.19 (any such Term Loans or Revolving Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Loans”, and any such Revolving Commitments which have been so converted, “Extended Revolving Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.19 (an “Extension”). Any such request shall be made on a pro rata basis and on the same terms to each applicable Bank. In order to establish any Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Banks under the applicable Existing Loan Facility) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth
56

the proposed terms of the Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, provided that:
(i)all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Loans (including the maturity date) may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal (including the maturity date) of the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, of such Existing Loan Facility to the extent provided in the applicable Loan Extension Amendment;
(ii)the interest margins with respect to the Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments may be different than the interest margins for the Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, of such Existing Loan Facility, and upfront fees may be paid to the Extending Lenders, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Loan Extension Amendment;
(iii)the Loan Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the latest applicable Maturity Date of the Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments being converted as in effect on the effective date of the Loan Extension Amendment immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments; or
(iv)no Extended Loans that were Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which the Term Loans under the Existing Loan Facility from which they were converted are repaid in full unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional prepayment of the Term Loans under such Existing Loan Facility; and
(v)(A) the borrowing and repayment (except for (x) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), (y) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Revolving Commitments and (z) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments of such tranche, (B) all Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Banks with Revolving Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Commitments subject to the express terms herein, (C) the permanent repayment of Revolving Loans with respect to, and termination of, Extended Revolving Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a better than a pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such Class, (D) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Commitments and extended Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans and (E) at no time shall there be Revolving Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments and any original Revolving Commitments) which have more than two (2) different maturity dates.
57

Any Extended Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments converted pursuant to any Loan Extension Amendment shall be designated a separate Class of Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Loans converted from an Existing Loan Facility may, to the extent provided in the applicable Loan Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Loans or Commitments with respect to such Existing Loan Facility. Any Extended Loans that are Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Class of Term Loans from which there were converted, any Extended Loans that are Revolving Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Loans from the Class of Revolving Loans from which there were converted and any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Revolving Commitments from the tranche of Revolving Commitments from which they were converted. No Extension shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purpose of Sections 2.10 and 2.11. Each Extension shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Banks that accept an Extension Request.
(b)The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which Banks under the Existing Loan Facility are requested to respond. No Extension Request is required to be in any minimum amount or increment; provided that the Borrower may specify as a condition to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be specified in the applicable Extension Request) of Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments be tendered (subject to waiver by the Borrower in its sole discretion). No Bank shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, of any Existing Loan Facility converted into Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Bank (an “Extending Lender”) wishing in its sole and individual discretion to have all or any portion of its Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, under the Existing Loan Facility subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, under the Existing Loan Facility which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments. In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments under the Existing Loan Facility subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments, as applicable, included in such Extension Election. It shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension that no Default or Event of Default shall exist on the date of the Extension Request and on the date of the Extension.
(c)Each Class of Extended Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (a “Loan Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Lender providing an Extended Loan or Extended Revolving Commitment thereunder which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in paragraph (a) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Bank) and which may include such technical amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary
58

or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Each Loan Extension Amendment shall be binding on the Banks, the General Partner and the other parties hereto. In connection with any Loan Extension Amendment, the Borrower shall deliver a reaffirmation of the Guaranty from the General Partner and such resolutions, certificates, opinions of counsel (including in-house opinions in lieu of opinions of outside counsel) and other documents in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.
(d)This Section 2.19 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 9.4 or 9.5 to
Section 2.20 Sustainability Adjustements.
(a)Following the date on which the Borrower provides a Pricing Certificate in respect of the most recently ended calendar year, commencing with the calendar year ending December 31, 2023 and ending with the calendar year ending December 31, 2028, the Applicable Margin shall be decreased (or not decreased) pursuant to the Sustainability Rate Adjustment as set forth in such Pricing Certificate. For purposes of the foregoing, (A) the Sustainability Rate Adjustment shall be applied as of the fifth Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Pricing Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.20(e) based upon the KPI set forth in such Pricing Certificate and the calculations of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment therein (such day, the “Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date”) and (B) each change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a Pricing Certificate shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the applicable Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next such Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date (or, in the case of non-delivery of a Pricing Certificate, the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to the terms of Section 2.20(e)).
(b)For the avoidance of doubt, only one Pricing Certificate will be delivered in respect of any calendar year. It is further understood and agreed that the Applicable Margin will never be reduced by more than 0.01% pursuant to the Sustainability Rate Adjustment during any calendar year. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the Applicable Margin by reason of meeting the KPI in any year shall not be cumulative year-over-year. Each applicable adjustment shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place.
(c)It is hereby understood and agreed that if no such Pricing Certificate (or a Pricing Certificate that is incomplete in any material respect) is delivered by the Borrower with regard to a particular calendar year within the period set forth in Section 2.20(e), the Sustainability Rate Adjustment will be 0% commencing on the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to the terms of Section 2.20(e) and continuing until the Borrower delivers a Pricing Certificate (or a materially complete Pricing Certificate) to the Administrative Agent for the applicable calendar year.
(d)If (i)(A) any Bank becomes aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Rate Adjustment or the KPI as reported in a Pricing Certificate (any such material inaccuracy, a “Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy”) and such Bank delivers, not later than 10 Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof, a written notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy in reasonable detail (which description shall be shared with
59

each Bank and the Borrower), or (B) the Borrower becomes aware of a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall mutually agree that there was a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy at the time of delivery of a Pricing Certificate, and (ii) a proper calculation of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment or the KPI would have resulted in no adjustment in the Applicable Margin for any period, (x) commencing on the fifth Business Day following delivery of a corrected Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent, the Applicable Margin shall be adjusted to reflect such corrected calculations of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment and
(y) the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Banks promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable event under non-U.S. Debtor Relief Laws), automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Bank), but in any event within 10 Business Days after the Borrower has received written notice of (in the case of clause (d)(i)(A) above), or has agreed in writing that there was (in the case of clause (d)(i)(B) above), a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, an amount equal to the excess of (1) the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over (2) the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.
It is understood and agreed that neither the failure to provide a Pricing Certificate nor any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy shall constitute a Default or Event of Default; provided, that, the Borrower complies with the terms of this Section 2.20(d) and Section 5.1(k) with respect to such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to a Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable event under non-U.S. Debtor Relief Laws), (a) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall not be due and payable until the earlier to occur of (i) written demand for such payment by the Administrative Agent in accordance with such paragraph or (ii) 10 Business Days after the Borrower has received written notice of (in the case of clause (d)(i)(A) above), or has agreed in writing that there was (in the case of clause (d)(i)(B) above), a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (such date, the “Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date”), (b) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to the Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date shall not constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise) and (c) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to the Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date or shall accrue interest at the rates set forth in Section 2.7(d), Section 2.8(b) or Section 2.16(f) prior to the Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date.
(e)As soon as available and in any event within 150 days following the end of each calendar year of the Borrower (commencing with the calendar year ending December 31, 2023), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Banks a Pricing Certificate for the most recently ended calendar year; provided, that, the Borrower’s failure to deliver a Pricing Certificate shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default (but such failure to so deliver a Pricing Certificate by the end of such 150-day period shall result in the Sustainability Rate Adjustment being applied as set forth in clause (c) above).
(f)If, after the date hereof, there occurs any Sustainability Recalculation Event, and either (i) the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate, accommodate or otherwise take into account the effect of such Sustainability Recalculation Event, or (ii) the Administrative Agent notifies the
60

Borrower in writing that the Required Banks request an amendment to any provision or provisions hereof for such purpose (it being understood and agreed that any such notice may be given before or after such Sustainability Recalculation Event has occurred), then (A) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith to amend the provisions hereof to eliminate, accommodate or otherwise take into account the effect of such Sustainability Recalculation Event for the period from and after the occurrence of such Sustainability Recalculation Event, and (B) the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted on the basis of the provisions in effect and applied immediately prior to such Sustainability Recalculation Event for a period of not more than 30 days following the date of any such notice (unless the provisions hereof shall have been amended in accordance herewith or such notice shall have been withdrawn). If, after 30 days following the date of any such notice, the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the requisite Banks under Section 9.5 has not been obtained, (x) on the one-year anniversary of the date a delivered Pricing Certificate was most recently delivered or due and not delivered, as applicable, the Applicable Margin shall be calculated without regard to Section 2.20, which Section and related definitions shall have no further force or effect, and (y) no party to this Agreement shall make any public or private representations or description of the credit facility described in this Agreement as a sustainability-linked loan.

(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 6.1(f) or (g), the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the unpaid principal amount of, and any and all accrued interest on, the Loans and any and all accrued fees and other Obligations hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable, with all additional interest from time to time accrued thereon and without presentment, demand, or protest or other notices or requirements of any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate and notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Banks shall, exercise any of its rights and remedies hereunder and by written notice to the Borrower, declare the Commitment(s) of each Bank to make Loans to be terminated whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, declare the unpaid principal amount of and any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and any and all accrued fees and other Obligations hereunder to be, and the same shall thereupon be, immediately due and payable with all additional interest from time to time accrued thereon and without presentation, demand, or protest or other requirements of any kind other than as provided in the Loan Documents (including,
80

without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, and notice of intent to demand or accelerate), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default other than any Event of Default described in Sections 6.1(f) or (g), the Administrative Agent shall not exercise any of its rights and remedies hereunder nor declare the unpaid principal amount of and any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and any and all accrued fees and other Obligations hereunder to be immediately due and payable, until such time as the Administrative Agent shall have delivered a notice to the Banks specifying the Event of Default which has occurred and whether Administrative Agent recommends the acceleration of the Obligations due hereunder or the exercise of other remedies hereunder. The Banks shall notify the Administrative Agent if they approve or disapprove of the acceleration of the Obligations due hereunder or the exercise of such other remedy recommended by Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice. If any Bank shall not respond within such five (5) Business Day period, then such Bank shall be deemed to have accepted Administrative Agent’s recommendation for acceleration of the Obligations due hereunder or the exercise of such other remedy. Regardless of the Administrative Agent’s recommendation, if the Required Banks shall approve the acceleration of the Obligations due hereunder or the exercise of such other remedy, then Administrative Agent shall declare the Commitment(s) of each Bank to make Loans to be terminated whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate and declare the unpaid principal amount of and any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and any and all accrued fees and other Obligations hereunder to be immediately due and payable or exercise such other remedy approved by the Required Banks. If the Required Banks shall neither approve nor disapprove the acceleration of the Obligations due hereunder or such other remedy recommended by Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent may accelerate the Obligations due hereunder or exercise any of its rights and remedies hereunder in its sole discretion. If the Required Banks shall disapprove the acceleration of the Obligations due hereunder or the exercise of such other remedy recommended by Administrative Agent, but approve of another remedy, then to the extent permitted hereunder, Administrative Agent shall exercise such remedy. In the event the Administrative Agent exercises any remedy provided in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall act as a collateral agent for the Banks.
(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in Administrative Agent’s sole judgment, immediate action is required after an Event of Default has occurred that is continuing to prevent loss to the Banks, the Administrative Agent may exercise any of its rights and remedies pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, acceleration of the Obligations hereunder, without the prior consent of the Required Banks provided that the Administrative Agent has notified the Banks of its intention so to exercise such rights and remedies and within 48 hours (such hours being counted only on Business Days) thereafter the Required Banks have not instructed the Administrative Agent to the contrary.
Section 6.3 Notice of Default. If the Administrative Agent shall not already have given any notice to the Borrower under Section 6.1, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower under Section 6.1 promptly upon being requested to do so by the Required Banks and shall thereupon notify all the Banks thereof.
81

Section 6.4 Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit. (a) If, at any time and from time to time, any Letter of Credit shall have been issued hereunder and an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, upon the occurrence and during the continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent may, and if requested by the Required Revolving Credit Banks the Administrative Agent shall, whether in addition to the taking by the Administrative Agent of any of the actions described in this Article or otherwise, make a demand upon the Borrower to, and forthwith upon such demand (but in any event within ten (10) days after such demand) the Borrower shall, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Revolving Credit Banks, in same day funds at the Administrative Agent’s office designated in such demand, for deposit in a special cash collateral account (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) to be maintained in the name of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Revolving Credit Banks) and under its sole dominion and control at such place as shall be designated by the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to the amount of the Letter of Credit Usage under the Letters of Credit; provided that if an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing, such obligation of the Borrower to deliver such amounts to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall become automatically due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notices or requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. The Borrower shall also deposit amounts into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in accordance with Section 9.8(c)(ii). Interest shall accrue on the Letter of Credit Collateral Account at a rate equal to the rate on overnight funds.
(b)The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, as administrative agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit Banks a lien on and a security interest in, the following collateral (the “Letter of Credit Collateral”):
(i)the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, all cash deposited therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the Letter of Credit Collateral Account;
(ii)all notes, certificates of deposit and other instruments from time to time hereafter delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Administrative Agent for or on behalf of the Borrower in substitution for or in respect of any or all of the then existing Letter of Credit Collateral;
(iii)all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing Letter of Credit Collateral; and
(iv)to the extent not covered by the above clauses, all proceeds of any or all of the foregoing Letter of Credit Collateral.
The lien and security interest granted hereby secures the payment of all obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing hereunder and under any other Loan Document.
(c)The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit Banks to apply, from time to time after funds are deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, funds then held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to
82

the payment of any amounts, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, as shall have become due and payable by the Borrower to the Revolving Credit Banks in respect of the Letters of Credit.
(d)Neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming or acting on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, except as provided in Section 6.4(h) hereof.
(e)The Borrower agrees that it will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Letter of Credit Collateral or (ii) create or permit to exist any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Letter of Credit Collateral, except for the security interest created by this Section 6.4.
(f)If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(i)The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at any time from time to time, charge, set off or otherwise apply all or any part of the Letter of Credit Collateral first, (x) amounts previously drawn on any Letter of Credit that have not been reimbursed by the Borrower and (y) any Letter of Credit Usage described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof that are then due and payable and second, with the consent of the Required Revolving Credit Banks, any other unpaid Obligations then due and payable against the Letter of Credit Collateral Account or any part thereof, in such order as the Administrative Agent shall elect. The rights of the Administrative Agent under this Section 6.4 are in addition to any rights and remedies which any Revolving Credit Bank may have.
(ii)The Administrative Agent may also exercise, in its sole discretion, in respect of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York at that time.
(g)The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Letter of Credit Collateral if the Letter of Credit Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being understood that, assuming such treatment, the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability with respect thereto.
(h)At such time as (x) all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing and (y) all cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Fronting Banks’ exposure to any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage pursuant to Section 9.8(c)(ii) shall no longer be required to be held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section 6.4 as a result of (x) the elimination or reduction of the applicable exposure to a Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage (including by the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of such Bank) or (y) the Administrative Agent’s determination that there exists excess cash collateral, all amounts (or excess portion thereof) remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be promptly returned to the Borrower; provided that the Borrower and each applicable Fronting Bank may
83

agree to continue to hold cash collateral to support future anticipated exposure to a Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage. Absent such cure or written waiver, any surplus of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and remaining after payment in full of all of the Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan Document after the Maturity Date and cancellation or return of all Letters of Credit shall be paid to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
ARTICLE VII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 7.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank and each Fronting Bank irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement or with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, only the Administrative Agent (and not one or more of the Banks) shall have the authority to deal directly with the Borrower under this Agreement and each Bank acknowledges that all notices, demands or requests from such Bank to Borrower must be forwarded to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the Borrower. Each Bank acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower has no obligation to act or refrain from acting on instructions or demands of one or more Banks absent written instructions from Administrative Agent in accordance with its rights and authority hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, each Bank and each Fronting Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Banks and the Fronting Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions.
Section 7.2 Administrative Agent and Affiliates. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder, and the term “Bank” and “Banks” shall include JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in its individual capacity.
Section 7.3 Action by Administrative Agent. (a) The obligations of the Administrative Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. The motivations of the Administrative Agent are commercial in nature and not to invest in the general performance or operations of the Borrower. In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Banks and the Fronting Banks. Without
84

limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article VI. The Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Bank or Fronting Bank other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Bank agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly forward, or make available by Intralinks or other internet access system, to each Bank tangible or electronic copies, or notify (in writing or electronically and, if electronically, the Administrative Agent will also transmit a fax indicating that the information in question is being transmitted electronically) each Bank as to the contents, of all notices, financial statements and other significant materials and communications received from the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and, in the event that the Borrower fails to pay when due the principal of or interest on any Loan, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Banks. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Banks, and such instructions shall be binding upon all the Banks; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law or (ii) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Banks and the Fronting Banks with respect to such action. If the Borrower shall have made any payment of principal of and interest on the Loans or any other amount due hereunder in accordance with Article II hereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have distributed to each Bank its proper share of such payment on the date on which such payment shall be received (other than as a result of any shutdown of or disturbance in any payment system or any other event or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of the Administrative Agent), then the Administrative Agent shall pay such proper share to such Bank together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such payment shall have been received from the Borrower until the date such amount is paid by the Administrative Agent to such Bank. If any Bank transfers funds to the Administrative Agent in anticipation of the making of a Loan that is subsequently not made, then the Administrative Agent agrees to repay such funds to such Bank upon the receipt of a notice from such Bank requesting the repayment of such funds, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date which is the day upon which Administrative Agent shall have received a notice from such bank requesting the repayment of such funds until the date such amount is paid by the Administrative Agent to such Bank.

The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 7.5 Liability of Administrative Agent; Erroneous Payments. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in this Agreement), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks or, where required by the terms of this Agreement, all of the Banks, or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). Except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default (other than a Default under Section 6.1(a) with respect to the payment of principal, interest, facility fees or Letter of Credit Fees) unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Bank. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing hereunder or the contents of any report or certificate delivered hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’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 for any failure of the Borrower or the General Partner to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder; or (v) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith. The Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with Section 9.6, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 9.6(g), (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Bank or Fronting Bank and shall not be responsible to any Bank or Fronting Bank for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with this
86

Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iv) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank or an Fronting Bank, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank or Fronting Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank or Fronting Bank sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (v) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).
(b)(i) Each Bank hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Bank (whether or not known to such Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Bank shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Bank under this Section 7.5(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(ii)Each Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Bank to the date such
87

amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
(iii)The Borrower hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Bank with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower.
(iv)Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.5(b) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.
Section 7.6 I ndemnification. (a) Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Aggregate Exposure Percentage, indemnify the Administrative Agent, their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur as a result of, or in connection with, the Administrative Agent’s capacity as Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees in accordance with this Agreement, including any amounts that the Borrower fails to pay under Section 9.3(a).
(b)Each Revolving Credit Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, indemnify the Fronting Banks, their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur as a result of, or in connection with, the Administrative Agent’s capacity as Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees in accordance with this Agreement, including any amounts that the Borrower fails to pay under Section 9.3(a).
Section 7.7 Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Bank further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agents, any arranger of this credit facility or any other Bank and their respective Related Parties 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 Bank, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Bank shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any arranger
88

of this credit facility or any other Bank and their respective Related Parties 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 related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Bank or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent 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 or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent. Each Bank and each Fronting Bank also acknowledges and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Co- Documentation Agent, any Sustainability Structuring Agent acting in such capacities have made any assurances as to (i) whether the Facilities meet such Bank’s or Fronting Bank’s criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and sustainability performance, (ii) whether any characteristics of the Facilities, including the characteristics of the relevant key performance indicators to which the Borrower will link a potential margin step-down, including their environmental and sustainability criteria, meet any industry standards or market expectations for sustainability-linked credit facilities or (iii) whether the relevant KPI or targets with respect thereto will be attainable or able to be maintained by the Borrower, and (b) each Bank and Fronting Bank has performed its own independent investigation and analysis of the Facilities and whether the Facilities meet its own criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and/or sustainability performance.
Section 7.8 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower.

Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrower (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and each Bank and its Affiliates shall be deemed approved); provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, with the reasonable approval of the Borrower provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be outstanding, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000, total assets of at least $25,000,000,000 and a long-term senior unsecured indebtedness rating of BBB+ or better by S&P (if rated by S&P) and Baa1 by Moody’s (if rated by Moody’s). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
89

Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder first accruing or arising after the effective date of such retirement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent.
If, at any time during the Availability Period, the Administrative Agent shall no longer have any Commitment or hold outstanding Loans under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its offer to resign to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such offer of resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or to retain the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrower; provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

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

ARTICLE VIII
CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
Section 8.1 Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 8.1, 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 Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Term SOFR Rate (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Daily Effective SOFR Rate or the Adjusted Daily Effective SOFR Rate; or
(ii)the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Banks that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks (or Bank) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, the Adjusted Daily Effective SOFR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks (or Bank) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan);
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no
92

longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Notice of Interest Rate Election in accordance with the terms of Section 2.15 or a new Notice of Committed Borrowing in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2, (1) any Notice of Interest Rate Election that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a Term Benchmark Loan and any Notice of Committed Borrowing that requests a Term Benchmark Loan shall instead be deemed to be a Notice of Interest Rate Election or a Notice of Committed Borrowing, as applicable, for (A) an RFR Loan so long as the Adjusted Daily Effective SOFR Rate is not also the subject of Section 8.1(a)(i) or (ii) above or (B) a Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted Daily Effective SOFR Rate also is the subject of Section 8.1(a)(i) or (ii) above and (2) any Notice of Interest Rate Election or Notice of Committed Borrowing that requests an RFR Loan shall instead be deemed to be a Notice of Interest Rate Election or a Notice of Committed Borrowing, as applicable, for a Base Rate Loan; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one type of Loan, then all other types of Loans shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 8.1(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 Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Notice of Interest Rate Election in accordance with the terms of Section 2.15 or a new Notice of Committed Borrowing in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute (x) an RFR Loan so long as the Adjusted Daily Effective SOFR Rate is not also the subject of Section 8.1(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) a Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted Daily Effective SOFR Rate also is the subject of Section 8.1(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day, and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute a Base Rate Loan.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then 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 Banks 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 Banks comprising the Required Banks.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(d)The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark
93

Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Bank (or group of Banks) pursuant to this Section 8.1, 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 8.1.
(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Rate) 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 (i) a Term Benchmark Loan, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued or (ii) an RFR Borrowing or conversion to RFR Loans, during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for (1) a Term Benchmark Loan into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to (A) an RFR Loan so long as the Adjusted Daily Effective SOFR Rate is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) a Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted Daily Effective SOFR Rate is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (2) an RFR Loan into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to a Base Rate Loan. 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 Base Rate based upon the then- current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan 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 Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 8.1, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute (x) an RFR Loan so long as the Adjusted Daily Effective SOFR Rate is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) a Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted Daily Effective SOFR Rate is the subject of a
94

Benchmark Transition Event, and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute a Base Rate Loan.
Section 8.2 Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any existing applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, or, with respect to Revolving Credit Banks, to participate in any Letter of Credit issued by a Fronting Bank, or, with respect to a Fronting Bank, to issue any Letter of Credit, and such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make or convert Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, or with respect to Revolving Credit Banks, to participate in any Letter of Credit issued by a Fronting Bank or, with respect to a Fronting Bank, to issue any Letter of Credit, shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans (as the case may be) to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, together with accrued interest thereon. Concurrently with prepaying each such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, the Borrower shall borrow a Base Rate Loan in an equal principal amount from such Bank (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans of the other Banks), and such Bank shall make such a Base Rate Loan.
Section 8.3 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.
(a)If, after the date hereof, the adoption or taking effect of any applicable law, rule, treaty or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule, directive, decision, treaty or regulation, or any change in the interpretation, re-interpretation, application or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (“Change in Law”), or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request, decision or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, liquidity, insurance charge or assessment, or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the applicable offshore interbank market any other condition, cost or expenses (other than Taxes) affecting its Loans, its Notes, or its obligation to make Loans or subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than
95

(A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Notes with respect thereto or to increase the cost to such Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of such amount or amounts, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction. For purposes hereof, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act shall be deemed to be a change after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted, implemented, adopted or issued and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III shall be deemed to be such a change regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented (each a “Regulatory Change”), provided, however, that if the applicable Bank shall have implemented changes prior to the Closing Date in response to any such requests, rules, guidelines or directives, then the same shall not be deemed to be a change after the date hereof with respect to such Bank.
(b)If any Bank shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital or liquidity requirements, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, including any Regulatory Change, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital or liquidity requirements) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of such amount or amounts, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction.
(c)Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section (although failure or delay on the part of any Bank to provide such notice or to demand compensation pursuant to this Section, after receiving notice of increased cost or reduced rate of return, shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s right to demand such compensation unless such failure materially prejudices Borrower’s rights hereunder)
96

and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
Section 8.4 Taxes.
(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower 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 from any such payment by a 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 shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.4) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
(c)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 8.4, the Borrower 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. Without duplication of Sections 8.4(a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after 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) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable 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. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall reasonably cooperate, at its sole discretion and at no cost to the Administrative Agent or the Banks, with efforts by Borrower to recover any Taxes or Other Taxes which Borrower reasonably believes were incorrectly or illegally imposed.
97

(e)Indemnification by the Banks. Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.6(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f)Status of Banks. (i) Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the 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, the Recipient, 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 or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient 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 Section 8.4(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.
(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A)the Administrative Agent, any sub-agent and any Bank that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or such Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement, as applicable, (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Administrative Agent, sub- agent or Bank, as applicable is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes
98

a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W- 8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)in the case of a Foreign Bank 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 I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Bank 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” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form); or
(4)to the extent a Foreign Bank is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W- 8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Bank is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Bank are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Bank may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form 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;
99

(D)if a payment made to a Recipient or any sub-agent under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient or sub-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 Recipient or sub-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 that such Recipient or sub-agent has complied with such Recipient’s or sub-agent’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement; and
(E)if the Administrative Agent or sub-agent is not a U.S. Person, the Administrative Agent and sub-agent (and any assignee or successor) will deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (or, assignment or succession, if applicable), two executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or sub-agent, as applicable, for its own account and two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (certifying that it is either a “qualified intermediary” or a “U.S. branch”) for the amounts the Administrative Agent or sub-agent, as applicable, receives for the account of others, with the effect that the Borrower can make payments to the Administrative Agent or sub-agent, as applicable, without deduction or withholding of any taxes imposed by the United States.
Each Recipient or sub-agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party 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 8.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.4), 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 8.4 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 paragraph (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 paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (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
100

such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require 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)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(i)Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 8.4, the term “Bank” includes any Fronting Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
Section 8.5 Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Term Benchmark Loans and RFR Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make, or convert outstanding Loans to, Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans has been suspended pursuant to Sections 8.1 or 8.2 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.3 or 8.4 with respect to its Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans and the Borrower shall, by at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist:
(a)all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans of the other Banks), and
(b)after each of its Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead.
Section 8.6 SPC Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Bank (a “Granting Bank”) may grant to one special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPC”) sponsored by such Granting Bank, as identified as such in writing by such Granting Bank to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower from time to time (including, without limitation, by the execution of this Agreement on the date hereof by a Granting Bank and its SPC identified as such on the signature pages hereof), the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Loan by any SPC, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of such Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Bank. Any SPC that makes a Loan shall (i) have in regard to such Loan all of the rights (exercisable, however, only through its Granting Bank acting as its agent) that such Granting Bank would have had if it had made such Loan directly, and (ii) comply with this Agreement in regard to such Loan on the
101

same terms as any other Bank party hereto; provided that (A) the Granting Bank’s Commitment shall remain the Commitment of such Granting Bank, and (B) all monetary obligations of an SPC hereunder in respect of any Loan it provides shall remain the obligations of such Granting Bank to the extent at any time that such SPC elects not to or otherwise fails to perform or pay any such obligation. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any payment under this Agreement for which a Bank would otherwise be liable for so long as, and to the extent, its sponsoring Granting Bank makes such payment. Notwithstanding any Loan that may be provided by an SPC hereunder, the Administrative Agent and Borrower shall be entitled to continue to communicate and deal solely and directly with the Granting Bank in accordance with this Agreement in respect of such Loan. Each SPC that is a signatory hereto, and each SPC that subsequently is identified by its Granting Bank as having been granted such option, shall be deemed to have confirmed (and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may require a written acknowledgment of such confirmation signed by any SPC not a signatory hereto that is subsequently so identified by its Granting Bank) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that (a) it has received a copy of the Agreement and each Loan Document, together with copies of the financial statements heretofore provided to the Banks under the terms of this Agreement and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement; (b) agrees that it will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, its Granting Bank or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Agreement and any other Loan Document; (c) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; (d) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document are required to be performed by it as a Bank, subject to the terms of this Section 8.6; and (e) appoints its Granting Bank, or a specified branch or Affiliate thereof, as its agent and attorney in fact and grants to its Granting Bank an irrevocable power of attorney to receive payments made for the benefit of such SPC under this Agreement, to deliver and receive all communications and notices under this Agreement and other Loan Documents and to exercise on such SPC’s behalf all rights to vote and to grant and make approvals, waivers, consents of amendments to or under this Agreement and other Loan Documents. Any document executed by such agent on such SPC’s behalf in connection with this Agreement or other Loan Documents shall be binding on such SPC. In furtherance of the foregoing, all the Banks and the Administrative Agent each hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one (1) year and one (1) day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.6(c), any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or Administrative Agent, and without the payment of any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its Granting Bank or to any financial institutions consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, subject to all of the provisions of this paragraph, such consents shall be deemed to have been granted with respect to any SPC signatory hereto on the date hereof) providing liquidity and/or
102

credit facilities to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of loans, and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of liquidity and/or credit facilities to such SPC. Nothing in this Section 8.6 that would affect the rights or obligations of an SPC may be amended without the written consent of any SPC that has any Loan outstanding at the time of such amendment.
Section 8.7 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Banks. (a) If any Bank requests compensation under Section 8.3, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 8.4, then such Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) If (w) any Bank is unable to make, maintain or fund its Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans or to participate in any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 8.2 for a period of ten (10) consecutive days, or (x) any Bank requests compensation under Section 8.3, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 8.4, or (y) if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (z) any Bank has refused to consent to any proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that, pursuant to Section 9.5, requires the consent of all Banks or of all Banks affected thereby and with respect to which Banks constituting the Required Banks have consented to such proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.6), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Fronting Banks), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that no such consent shall be required for an assignment to any Bank so long as, after giving effect to such assignment, such Bank’s Revolving Commitment Percentage does not exceed 25%), (ii) such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Unreimbursed Obligations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 8.3 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 8.4, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Bank’s refusal to consent to a proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent, the assignee shall approve the proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent.
103

A Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower or the other Credit Parties, any Bank, any Fronting Bank or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s, any Credit Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through an Electronic System. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Credit Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any Fronting Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Electronic System.
(iii)Although the Electronic System and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Electronic System is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Electronic System only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Banks, each of the Fronting Banks and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Bank that are added to the Electronic System, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution.

105

(iv)Each Bank and each Fronting Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Electronic System shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Bank for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Bank and Fronting Bank agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Bank’s or Fronting Bank’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.
(v)Each of the Banks, each of the Fronting Banks and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Electronic System in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

(e)Borrower Communications.
(i)The Administrative Agent, the Banks and the Fronting Banks agree that the Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Borrower Communications to the Administrative Agent through an electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Borrower Portal”).
(ii)Although the Approved Borrower Portal and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a user ID/password authorization system), each of the Banks, each of the Fronting Banks and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of the Borrower that are added to the Approved Borrower Portal, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Banks, each of the Fronting Banks and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of Borrower Communications through the Approved Borrower Portal and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.
(iii)THE APPROVED BORROWER PORTAL IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER COMMUNICATION, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED BORROWER PORTAL AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED BORROWER PORTAL AND THE BORROWER COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY
106

RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED BORROWER PORTAL. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY JOINT LEAD ARRANGER, ANY CO-DOCUMENTATION AGENT, ANY SYNDICATION AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER, THE GENERAL PARTNER, ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY BANK, ANY FRONTING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE BORROWER’S TRANSMISSION OF BORROWER COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED BORROWER PORTAL.
“Borrower Communications” means, collectively, any Notice of Committed Borrowing, Notice of Interest Rate Election, notice of prepayment, notice requesting the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit or other notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent through an Approved Borrower Portal.
(iv)Each of the Banks, each of the Fronting Banks and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Borrower Communications on the Approved Borrower Portal in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.
(v)Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Borrower to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
Section 9.2 No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
Section 9.3 Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent), in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement, the Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein, the syndication of the Loans, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment or modification hereof or any Default hereunder, (ii) the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of each Fronting Bank relating to Letters of Credit as from time to time in effect and (iii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable and documented out-of-
107

pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and each Bank, in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents and the instruments referred to therein and such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom, including all such expenses incurred during any workout or restructuring; provided, however, that in no event shall the Borrower be required to pay for the attorneys’ fees and disbursements of more than one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Banks unless there is a legal conflict of interest.
(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Banks, and each Bank, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Sustainability Structuring Agents, their respective Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and related expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and settlements and settlement costs, that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, (i) any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document (including, without limitation, any Loan or Letter of Credit and the Borrower’s actual or proposed use of proceeds of the Loans and Letters of Credit, whether or not in compliance with the provisions hereof), (ii) any violation by the Borrower or the Environmental Affiliates of any applicable Environmental Law, (iii) any Environmental Claim arising out of the management, use, control, ownership or operation of property or assets by the Borrower or any of the Environmental Affiliates, including, without limitation, all on-site and off-site activities involving Material of Environmental Concern, (iv) the breach of any environmental representation or warranty set forth herein, (v) the grant to the Administrative Agent and the Banks of any Lien in any property or assets of the Borrower or any stock or other equity interest in the Borrower, (vi) the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Banks of their rights and remedies (including, without limitation, foreclosure) under any agreements creating any such Lien, (vii) any action taken in connection with this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the payment of principal, interest and fees and (viii) any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding relating to the foregoing (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) and whether or not brought by the Borrower, the General Partner or any Affiliate of the Borrower (but excluding in each case, as to any Indemnitee, any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements incurred solely by reason of (w) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (x) any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding imposed or asserted against any Indemnitee by any bank regulatory agency or by any equity holder of such Indemnitee, (y) a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for material breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s funding obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) a claim not involving an act or omission of the Borrower or the General Partner or any of their subsidiaries and that is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than against a Joint Bookrunner, a Joint Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent or a Sustainability Structuring Agent in their capacities as such). The Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.
108

This Section 9.3(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
Section 9.4 Sharing of Set-Offs. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Bank is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), other than deposits held for the benefit of third parties, and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Bank (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Bank wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower then due and payable to such Bank under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Bank. Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan or Note held by it or Letter of Credit participated in by it, or, in the case of a Fronting Bank, Letter of Credit issued by it, which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank or Letter of Credit issued or participated in by such other Bank, in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan or Note held by such other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans and Notes held by the other Banks or Letter of Credit issued or participated in by such other Bank, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loans and Notes held by the Banks or Letter of Credit issued or participated in by such other Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; provided that (x) nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness under the Loans and Notes or the Letters of Credit, (y) the provisions of this Section 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 or any payment obtained by a Bank as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or Commitments to any assignee or participant and (z) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to any Extension made in accordance with Section 2.19. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Note, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. For purpose of this Section 9.4, the term “Bank” shall include each Fronting Bank.
Section 9.5 Amendments and Waivers. Subject to Section 8.1(b), (c) and (d), any provision of this Agreement (including any of the financial covenants given by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.8), the Notes, the Letters of Credit or other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks, (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Banks are affected thereby (including pursuant to Section 2.16, Article VII or Section 9.8), by the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Banks, as applicable) (and, if the rights or duties of only a
109

specific Facility are affected thereby or if such amendment or waiver adversely affects the rights of a specific Facility in a manner that is different than such amendment or waiver effects the other Facility, the Majority Facility Banks for such Facility); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall (a) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for any reduction or termination pursuant to Sections 2.9, 2.11 or 6.2), unless signed by such Bank, (b) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees specified herein, unless signed by each Bank affected thereby, (c) except as set forth in Section 2.18, postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan, or the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, or any fees hereunder or for any reduction or termination of any Commitment, unless signed by each Bank affected thereby (notwithstanding the foregoing, however, it is agreed that only the consent of the extending Banks shall be required for an Extension in accordance with Section 2.19), (d) release the Guaranty or otherwise release any other collateral, unless signed by each Bank affected thereby, (e) subordinate the Loans to any other Debt, unless signed by each Bank affected thereby, (f) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans or Notes, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section 9.5 or any other provision of this Agreement, unless signed by each Bank affected thereby, (g) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of (i) Majority Facility Banks with respect to any Facility, unless signed by all of the Banks under such Facility, (iii) Required Revolving Credit Banks with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, unless signed by all of the Revolving Credit Banks or (iii) Required Banks unless signed by all of the Banks, (h) change Section 2.12(a), Section 2.12(c) or Section 9.4 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, unless signed by each Bank affected thereby or (i) change this Section 9.5 unless signed by each Bank affected thereby.
If the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide a copy of any such amendment to the Banks.
Section 9.6 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, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of all Banks (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be void).
(b)Any Bank may at any time grant to one or more banks or other entities, other than (x) the Borrower and its Affiliates, (y) a natural person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned or operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person) or (z) a Defaulting Lender (each a “Participant”) participating interests in any or all of its Commitments or any or all of its Loans. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection
110

with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) of Section 9.5 without the consent of the Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 8.4(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 8.4(f) shall be delivered to the participating Bank)) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 8.7 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b). Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank 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 commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank 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 Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(c)Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption hereto executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank, with (and subject to) the prior written consent of (x) the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of (A) any Revolving Commitment to an assignee that is a Revolving Credit Bank (other than a Defaulting Lender) immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, and (B) all or any portion of a Term Loan or a Term Loan Commitment to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund, (y) provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided further, however, that no such consent by the Borrower shall be required in the case of an assignment to another Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof and (z) in the case of an assignment of a
111

Revolving Commitment, each Fronting Bank, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Bank may assign or participate its interest to (x) the Borrower and its Affiliates, (y) a natural person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned or operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person) or (z) a Defaulting Lender. Except in the case of an assignment to a Revolving Credit Bank or an Affiliate of a Revolving Credit Bank or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Revolving Credit Bank's Revolving Commitments, the amount of the Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans of the assigning Revolving Credit Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Except in the case of an assignment to a Term Loan Bank or an Affiliate of a Term Loan Bank or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Term Loan Bank's Term Loan Commitments, the amount of the Term Loan Commitments or Term Loans of the assigning Term Loan Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement (provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations in respect of only one Facility). The assignee, if it shall not be a Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Upon execution and delivery (and acceptance and recording in the Register by the Administrative Agent) of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, a new Note or Notes are issued to the Assignee. In connection with any such assignment (except for an assignment by a Bank to its Affiliate), the transferor Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. The Assignee shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 8.4.
(d)[Reserved.]
(e)Any Bank may at any time assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Notes and the Letter(s) of Credit participated in by such Bank or, in the case of a Fronting Bank, issued by it, to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee or pledgee for such Bank as a party hereto.
112

(f)No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.3 or 8.4 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or, with regard to participations, to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable interest.
(g)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 delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
Section 9.7 USA Patriot Act; Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Bank hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
Section 9.8 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Lender:
(a)fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment(s) of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.8;
(b)the Revolving Commitments, Term Loan Commitments and Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Banks or the Required Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.5, except that the Defaulting Lender’s consent shall be required in connection with any increase in such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment(s) pursuant to Section 9.5(a), any amendment pursuant to Section 9.5(b) affecting its Loans or pursuant to Section 9.5(z)), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;
(c)if any Letters of Credit exist at the time a Revolving Credit Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
113

(i)all or any part of such liability, if any, with respect to Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility plus such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of Letter of Credit Usage does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments (it being understood that under no circumstance shall any such Revolving Credit Bank at any time be liable for any amounts in excess of its Revolving Commitment) and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 3.2(d) and (e) are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time); and
(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Fronting Banks only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Usage (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.4(a) for so long as such Letters of Credit are outstanding;
(iii)if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Usage pursuant to this Section 9.8(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Usage during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Usage is cash collateralized;
(iv)if the Revolving Commitment Percentage of the non-Defaulting Lenders with respect to Letter of Credit Usage is reallocated pursuant to this Section 9.8(c), then the fees payable to the Banks pursuant to Section 2.8(b) of this Agreement shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitment Percentages; or
(v)if any Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of Letter of Credit Usage is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Fronting Bank or any other Bank hereunder, all fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such Revolving Commitment Percentage of Letter of Credit Usage) and Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 2.8 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Usage shall be payable to the applicable Fronting Bank until and to the extent that such Revolving Commitment Percentage of Letter of Credit Usage is reallocated and/or cash collateralized;
(d)if such Bank is a Revolving Credit Bank, so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Lender, the Fronting Banks shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter

of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the then Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Usage will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 9.8(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 9.8(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein); and
(e)any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.4 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Fronting Bank hereunder; third, to cash collateralize Letter of Credit Usage with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists that is continuing), 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; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize future Letter of Credit Usage with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks, the Fronting Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank, the Fronting Banks against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists that 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 or under any other Loan Document; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage are held by the Banks pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Commitments without giving effect to clause (c) above. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Parent of any Bank shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Fronting Bank has a good faith belief that any Revolving Credit Bank has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Revolving Credit Bank commits to extend credit, no Fronting Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless a Fronting Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Revolving Credit Bank, satisfactory to such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Bank hereunder.
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, and if the Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Credit Bank and the Fronting Banks each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Banks with respect to Letters of Credit shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Revolving Credit Bank’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Revolving Credit Bank shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Banks as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Revolving Credit Bank to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage.

Section 9.16 [Reserved].
Section 9.17 Optional Increase in Commitments. (a) At any time prior to the Maturity Date, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Borrower may, elect to request (A) an increase to the existing Revolving Commitments (any such increase, the “New Revolving Commitments”) and/or (B) the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments (the “New Term Loan Commitments”, together with the New Revolving Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”), by up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000,000 for all Incremental Commitments (so that after giving effect to all Incremental Commitments, the sum of the Revolving Commitments plus the principal amount of Term Loans made hereunder and pursuant to Section 2.1 plus the unused amount of Term Loan Commitments does not exceed $1,600,000,000). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that such Incremental Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent. Such Incremental Commitments shall be made either by designating a Qualified Institution not theretofore a Bank to become a Bank (such designation to be effective only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) and/or by agreeing with an existing Bank or Banks that such Bank’s Commitment shall be increased, it being understood that no such existing Bank or Banks shall have any obligation to so increase its Commitment). Any arranger for the Incremental Commitments selected by the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts, with the assistance of the Borrower, to arrange a syndicate of Banks or other Persons that are Qualified Institutions willing to hold the requested Incremental Commitments; provided that (x) any Incremental Commitments on any Increased Amount Date shall be in the minimum aggregate amount of $25,000,000, (y) any Bank approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide an Incremental Commitment; provided that the Banks will first be afforded the opportunity to provide the Incremental Commitments on a pro rata basis, and if any Bank so approached fails to respond within such ten (10) Business Day period after its receipt of such request, such Bank shall be deemed to have declined to provide such Incremental Commitments, and (z) any Bank or other Person that is a Qualified Institution (each, a “New Revolving Credit Bank” or “New Term Loan Bank,” as
119

applicable) to whom any portion of such Incremental Commitment shall be allocated shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and, in the case of a New Revolving Commitment and the Fronting Banks (each of which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless such New Revolving Credit Bank is an existing Revolving Credit Bank (other than a Defaulting Lender) with a Revolving Commitment at such time or such New Term Loan Bank is an existing Term Loan Bank or an Affiliate of an existing Bank. Upon execution and delivery by the Borrower and such Bank or other financial institution of an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such existing Bank shall have a Commitment as therein set forth or such Qualified Institution shall become a Bank with a Commitment as therein set forth and all the rights and obligations of a Bank with such a Commitment hereunder; provided that:
(i)the Borrower shall provide prompt notice of such increase to the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify the Banks; and
(ii)the amount of such Incremental Commitments, together with all other Incremental Commitments in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 9.17 since the date of this Agreement, does not cause the sum of (x) the Term Loan Amount and (y) the Revolving Loan Amount to exceed $1,600,000,000.
(b)Upon any Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 9.17, within five (5) Business Days (in the case of any Base Rate Loans then outstanding) or at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto (in the case of any Term Benchmark Loans then outstanding), as applicable, each Bank’s Commitment Percentage shall be recalculated to reflect such Incremental Commitments and the outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall be reallocated among the Banks such that the outstanding principal amount of Loans owed to each Bank shall be equal to such Bank’s Commitment Percentage (as recalculated) thereof. All payments, repayments and other disbursements of funds by the Administrative Agent to Banks shall thereupon and, at all times thereafter be made in accordance with each Bank’s recalculated Commitment Percentage. For purposes hereof, “Qualified Institution” means a Bank, or one or more banks, finance companies, insurance or other financial institutions which (i) (A) has (or, in the case of a bank which is a subsidiary, such bank’s parent has) a rating of its senior debt obligations of not less than Baa-1 by Moody’s or a comparable rating by a rating agency acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (B) has total assets in excess of Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000), or (ii) is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
(c)Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, the terms and provisions of any New Revolving Commitments shall be identical to the existing Revolving Commitments. Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, the terms and provisions of any New Term Loan Commitments and any New Term Loans shall (a) provide that the maturity date of any New Term Loan that is a separate tranche shall be no earlier than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or any existing Term Loan Maturity Date and the weighted average life to maturity of such New Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of any existing Term Loans, (b) share ratably in any prepayments of any existing Term Loan Facility, unless the Borrower and the New Term Loan Banks in respect of such New Term Loans elect lesser payments and (c) otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each New Term Loan Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maturity date of any tranche of New Revolving Commitments
120

or New Term Loans that is requested and incurred in connection with an acquisition or investment may be earlier than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or any existing Term Loan Maturity Date (which may result in a weighted average life to maturity of such New Revolving Commitments or New Term Loans, as applicable, being shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of any existing Term Loans).
(d)On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the Revolving Credit Banks shall assign to each of the New Revolving Credit Banks, and each of the New Revolving Credit Banks shall purchase from each of the Revolving Credit Banks, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Revolving Credit Banks and New Revolving Credit Banks ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Commitments to the Revolving Commitments, (ii) each New Revolving Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (iii) each New Revolving Credit Bank shall become a Revolving Credit Bank with respect to its New Revolving Commitment and all matters relating thereto.
(e)On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Loan Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each New Term Loan Bank shall make a Term Loan to the Borrower (a “New Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its New Term Loan Commitment, and (ii) each New Term Loan Bank shall become a Bank hereunder with respect to the New Term Loan Commitment and the New Term Loans made pursuant thereto.
(f)The Administrative Agent shall notify the Banks promptly upon receipt of the Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof (i) the New Revolving Commitments and the New Revolving Credit Banks or the New Term Loan Commitments and the New Term Loan Banks, as applicable, and (ii) in the case of each notice to any Revolving Credit Bank, the respective interests in such Revolving Credit Bank’s Revolving Loans, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this paragraph.
(g)The effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments and the availability of any Borrowings under any such Incremental Commitments shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent: (x) after giving pro forma effect to such Incremental Commitments and Borrowings and the use of proceeds thereof, (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or, solely with respect to any Incremental Commitments requested and incurred in connection with an acquisition or investment, in each case, permitted hereunder, then such condition may be limited to certain specified defaults customary for an acquisition financing; provided, that any such request for Incremental Commitments by the Borrower shall specify that such condition is to apply) and (ii) as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.1, the Borrower would have been in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 5.8; (y) subject to customary “SunGard” or other “certain funds” conditionality provisions solely with respect to any Incremental Commitments requested and incurred in connection with an acquisition or investment,
121

in each case, permitted hereunder (provided, that any such request for Incremental Commitments by the Borrower shall specify the conditionality provisions that are to apply) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower in any Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is qualified by “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or a similar qualifier, in which case it shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such Incremental Commitments except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is qualified by “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or a similar qualifier, in which case it shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date); and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of all corporate or other necessary action taken by the Borrower to authorize such Incremental Commitments; and (ii) a customary opinion of counsel to the Borrower (including in-house opinions in lieu of opinions of outside counsel, which may be in substantially the same form as delivered on the Closing Date), and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Banks, and (iii) if requested by any Bank, new Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any new Bank, and replacement Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any existing Bank.
(h)The Incremental Commitments shall be evidenced pursuant to one or more Additional Credit Extension Amendments executed and delivered by the Borrower, the New Revolving Credit Banks or New Term Loan Banks, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register. Each Additional Credit Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Banks, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 9.17.
Section 9.18 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 9.19 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the "Charges"), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Bank holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Bank in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Bank.
122

The Banks’ interests in such Obligations, and participations in such Letters of Credit, shall be reallocated on the Closing Date in a cashless roll transaction in accordance with each Bank's applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages.

123

Section 9.21 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Banks and the Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, auditors, consultants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and such Persons shall either agree or have a legal obligation to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the prior written consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Fronting Bank or any Bank on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Fronting Bank or any Bank on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 9.21 shall prohibit any Person from voluntarily disclosing or providing any Information within the scope of this confidentiality provision to any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization (any such entity, a “Regulatory Authority”) to the extent that any such prohibition on disclosure set forth in this Section 9.21 shall be prohibited by the laws or regulations applicable to such Regulatory Authority.
Section 9.22 No Fiduciary Duty, etc. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party or Sustainability Structuring Agent will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party or Sustainability Structuring Agent is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents and the transaction contemplated therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other person. The Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party or Sustainability Structuring Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party or Sustainability Structuring Agent in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party or Sustainability Structuring Agent is advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions
124

contemplated hereby, and the Credit Parties and Sustainability Structuring Agent shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto.
The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with its Affiliates, in addition to providing or participating in commercial lending facilities such as that provided hereunder, is a full-service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, the Borrower and other companies with which the Borrower may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion, unless such other discretion is specified in this Agreement.
In addition, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its Affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which the Borrower may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from the Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with the Borrower in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. The Borrower also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower, confidential information obtained from other companies.
Section 9.23 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
(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
125

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 9.24 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for swap agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
