(d) Section 2.2(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“(a) The Borrower may: (a) borrow under the Commitment or convert a Loan to another type of Loan by giving the Lender irrevocable notice by 11:00 a.m. New York City time in the form of Exhibit A (when submitted for a new borrowing, a “Borrowing Notice,” and when submitted for converting a Loan, an “Interest Election Request”) hereto in the case of (i) a Base Rate Loan on the same Banking Day of, (ii) a Term SOFR Loan at least three (3) Treasury Securities Business Days prior to and (iii) a Daily Simple SOFR Loan at least five (5) Treasury Securities Business Days prior to the funding date of, or the conversion date into, such Loan; or (b) continue a Term SOFR Loan with a new Interest Period (that may be the same or a different tenor from the then current Interest Period), by giving the Lender irrevocable notice by 11:00 a.m. New York City time at least three (3) Treasury Securities Days prior to the start of the next Interest Period in the form of Exhibit A hereto (when submitted for such purpose, an “Interest Period Election”). If the Borrower requests a Term SOFR Loan pursuant to clause (a) but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Period Election pursuant to clause (b) above with respect to any Term SOFR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of the same duration as the then current Interest Period for the next Interest Period.
(e) Section 2.5(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Page 4 of 12

(f) Section 2.6(a) and Section 2.6(c) of the Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:
“(a) Except as otherwise provided in Clause (b) below or Sections 2.9 and 2.11, each Loan shall bear interest, as selected by the Borrower at the time of the Borrowing Notice, at (i) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin (such loan, a “Base Rate Loan”), (ii) the Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin (such loan, a “Term SOFR Loan”) or (iii) the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Margin (such loan, a “Daily Simple SOFR Loan,” together with Term SOFR Loans, collectively, “SOFR Based Loans”). Term SOFR Loans shall be available for Interest Periods of one (1), three (3), or six (6) months; provided that no Interest Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date, the date on which all Loans shall finally mature. Interest shall be payable on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Borrower understands and acknowledges that Term SOFR Loans could in the future be discontinued or become the subject of regulatory reform. With respect to any Term SOFR Loan made hereunder, in the event the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available for the relevant Interest Period in the manner described in the definition of “Term SOFR” hereunder, such Term SOFR Loan shall be converted into a Daily Simple SOFR Loan. With respect to any Daily Simple SOFR Loan outstanding, in the event SOFR is not available for the relevant DSS Loan Day in the manner described in the definition of “Daily Simple SOFR” hereunder, such Daily SOFR Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan. In addition, upon occurrence of a SOFR Cessation Event, Section 2.9(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Lender does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced, or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance, unavailability and/or replacement. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Lender and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any successor or alternative rate and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower.”
“(c) Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in the case of a leap year) (in the case of Base Rate Loans when based upon the Prime Rate) and 360 days in all other cases and, in each case for the actual days elapsed.”
(g) Section 2.9 (“Inability to Determine Interest Rate”) and Section 2.11 (“Illegality”) of the Agreement re hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:
“Section 2.9 Unavailability. (a) If the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (i) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Loan or (ii) on any DSS Loan Day for a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, that the Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period or the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR for such DSS Loan Day will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining such SOFR Based Loan, then the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable and, until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (x) any request to convert a Base Rate Loan to, or continue a Term SOFR Loan as, a Term SOFR Loan shall be ineffective and (y) if any request for a Loan under Section 2.2(a) requests a Term SOFR Loan, such Loan shall be made, instead, as a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not subject to this clause. If Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is also affected under this
Page 5 of 12

clause, (x) any request to convert a Loan to or continue a Loan as a SOFR Based Loan shall be ineffective and (y) if any request for a Loan under Section 2.2(a) requests a SOFR Based Loan, such Loan will be made instead as a Base Rate Loan or at a rate offered by the Lender in its sole discretion and accepted by the Borrower.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a SOFR Cessation Event has occurred, then the Lender and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Term SOFR or SOFR as applicable that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated and/or bilateral loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement. Until an alternate rate of interest is determined in accordance with this clause (c), (x) any request to convert a Base Rate Loan to, or continue a Term SOFR Loan as a Term SOFR Loan shall be ineffective and (y) if any request for a Loan under Section 2.2(a) requests a Term SOFR Loan, such Loan shall be made, instead, as a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not subject to this clause. If Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is also affected under this clause, (x) any request to convert a Loan into or continue any SOFR Based Loan shall be ineffective and (y) if any request for a Loan under Section 2.2(a) requests a SOFR Based Loan, such Loan will be made instead as a Base Rate Loan or at a rate offered by the Lender in its sole discretion and accepted by the Borrower. For avoidance of doubt, if some tenors for the Term SOFR Reference Rate become unavailable prior to a SOFR Cessation Event, those comparable Interest Periods will no longer be available for selection by the Borrower.”
(h) Section 2.11 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “Section 2.11 [Reserved.]”
(i) Section 2.13(a)(i) and Section 2.13(a)(ii) of the Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

(ii) does or shall impose on the Lender any other condition affecting this Agreement or the Loans;”
(j) Sections 5.7 and 6.6 of the Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety.
