respect to each Buyer the lesser of (a) CSCIB’s Maximum Purchase Price or (b) Citi’s Maximum Purchase Price, in each case, as may be modified from time to time in accordance with the terms set forth in the applicable Side Letter
Agreement. If a Buyer’s Maximum Purchase Price is modified (a “Maximum Purchase Price Modification”), each other Buyer’s Maximum Purchase Price shall be adjusted by a corresponding amount to maintain equal Pro Rata Shares between
the Buyers at all times, and each Buyer’s Maximum Purchase Price shall subsequently adjust in equal Pro Rata Shares to the extent permitted under the terms of the applicable Side Letter Agreement; provided, however, that the
aggregate Maximum Purchase Price for all Buyers shall not exceed $700,000,000 nor shall the individual Maximum Purchase Price for any Buyer exceed $350,000,000 at any time. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 2.02(b) shall
