Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such
Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be non-representative; provided that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent
statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date. 

For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b)

such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, a
“Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark
(or the published component used in the calculation thereof). 
 “Benchmark Transition Start Date” shall mean, with respect
to any Benchmark, in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, the earlier of (a) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (b) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective

punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information
source or service.

2.1 Committed Loans. Each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, to make loans in Dollars
to the Borrower during the period from and including the Effective Date to but not including the Commitment Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to but not exceeding the amount of such Bank’s
Commitment as then in effect minus such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate principal amount of all Money Market Loans then outstanding. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during such period the Borrower may borrow, repay, prepay (as
provided in Section 3.2) and reborrow the aggregate amount of the Commitments; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of all Committed Loans, together with the aggregate principal amount of all Money Market
Loans, at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments at such time. The Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans (each, a “type” of Committed Loan). 

2.2 Changes of Commitments. The aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be automatically reduced to zero on the Commitment
Termination Date. In addition, the Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the Commitments at any time or from time to time; provided, that (a) the Borrower shall give notice of each such termination or reduction to the
Administrative Agent as provided in Section 5.5; (b) each partial reduction shall be in the amounts provided in Section 5.4; and (c) at no time shall the total amount of the Commitments be

Absolute Rate Loans or Money Market Term SOFR Loans (each, a “type” of Money Market Loan). 
 (b) Money Market Quote

Auction Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the terms of (x) any Money Market Quote submitted by any Bank that is in accordance with Section 2.3(d) and (y) any Money Market Quote that amends, modifies or
is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Money Market Quote submitted by such Bank with respect to the same Money Market Quote Request. Any such subsequent Money Market Quote shall be disregarded by the Auction Agent unless such subsequent Money
Market Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Money Market Quote. The Auction Agent’s notice to the Borrower shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers have been
received for each Interest Period specified in the related Money Market Quote Request, (B) the respective principal amounts and Money Market Margins or Money Market Absolute Rates, as the case may be, so offered and (C) if applicable,
limitations on the aggregate principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers in any single Money Market Quote may be accepted. 

(f)    Acceptance and Notice by Borrower. Not later than (i) 12:00 p.m. New York time on the third U.S. Government
Securities Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a Term SOFR Auction or (ii) 12:00 p.m. New York time on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the Borrower shall notify the Auction
Agent of its acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.3(e) substantially in the form of Exhibit F (and the Auction Agent shall so
notify each Bank making an offer); provided, that if the Borrower shall fail to so notify the Auction Agent by the times set forth above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have notified the Auction Agent of its
non-acceptance of each such offer. In the case of acceptance, each such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The Borrower may accept any
Money Market Quote in whole or in part; provided that: 
 (i)    the aggregate principal amount of
each borrowing of Money Market Loans may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Money Market Quote Request; 

(ii)    the principal amount of each borrowing of Money Market Loans must be $10,000,000 or a larger whole

Market Margins or Money Market Absolute Rates, as the case may be; and 
 (iv)    the Borrower may not
accept any offer that is described in Section 2.3(d)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement. 

(g)    Allocation. If offers are made by two or more Banks with the same Money Market Margins or Money Market
Absolute Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Money Market Loans in respect of which such offers are
accepted shall be allocated by the Auction Agent among such Banks as nearly as 

  
 26 












 
possible (in such multiples, not greater than $1,000,000, as the Auction Agent may deem appropriate in its sole discretion) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers. The
Auction Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each such Bank, of any allocation pursuant to this Section 2.3(g). 

(h)    Effectiveness of Notices. Notices to the Auction Agent under this Section 2.3
shall be effective only if received by the Auction Agent no later than the times and the dates specified herein. 

2.4    Lending Offices. The Loans of each type made by each Bank shall be made and maintained at such Bank’s
Applicable Lending Office for Loans of such type. 
 2.5    Several Obligations. The failure of any Bank to make
any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation to make its Loan on such date, and no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make a Loan to be made by such other
Bank. 
 2.6    Notes. (a) The indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from the Committed Loans made to the
Borrower by each Bank that requests such a promissory note shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower payable to the order of such Bank and otherwise duly completed, in substantially the form of Exhibit A (a “Committed
Loan Note”). 
 (b)    The indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from any Money Market Loan made to the
Borrower by any Bank that requests such a promissory note shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower payable to the order of such Bank and otherwise duly completed, in substantially the form of Exhibit B (a “Money Market
Note”). 
 (c)    All Loans made by each Bank and all adjustments required by conversion of such Loans, and all
payments and prepayments made on account of principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Bank on its books. Prior to the transfer by any Bank of any of its Notes, a record of the Loans evidenced thereby shall be endorsed by such Bank on the schedule
attached thereto and forming a part of such Note; provided, that the failure by any Bank to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. 

(d)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 13.5(c), and
subaccounts for each Bank, in which it will record the information provided in Section 13.5(c) to be recorded with respect to each Bank’s Credit Exposure (including, without limitation, the principal amounts, stated
interest, interest periods, applicable terms (if any) and types of Loans comprising such Credit Exposure), as well as the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Bank’s share thereof. 

2.7    Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a facility fee
(the “Facility Fee”), for each day during the periods from and including (i) the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of the date such Bank’s Commitment is terminated and the Commitment Termination Date, on the
daily average amount of such Bank’s Commitment (whether used or unused), provided that Facility Fees will not accrue on the amount of the Commitment of any Defaulting Bank during the period in which such Bank


  
 27 












 
remains a Defaulting Bank and (ii) the Commitment Termination Date to but excluding the date the Loans shall be repaid in their entirety, on the daily average aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Loans of such Bank; in each case at the rate per annum set forth below which corresponds to the Borrower’s Rating Level for such day: 
  

			
	Borrower’s 
Rating Level	  	Rate
	1	  	0.06%
	2	  	0.07%
	3	  	0.08%
	4	  	0.10%
	5	  	0.125%
	6	  	0.15%

 Accrued Facility Fees shall be payable (i) on the Quarterly Dates, and (ii) on the earlier of the date the
Commitments are terminated and the Commitment Termination Date (and thereafter, on demand and, in any event, on the date the Loans shall be repaid in their entirety). 

2.8 Extension of Commitment Termination Date. 

(a) Requests for Extension. The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Banks) not later
than 45 days prior to any anniversary hereof (a “Loan Anniversary”), request that each Bank extend such Bank’s Commitment Termination Date for an additional one year from the Commitment Termination Date then in effect hereunder
(the “Existing Termination Date”); provided, that in no event shall the Commitment Termination Date be extended beyond February 26, 2030.  

(b) Bank Elections to Extend. Within 20 days of receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent (or such later date as the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree to in their sole discretion), each Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent whether or not it consents to such extension (which consent may be given or withheld in such Bank’s sole and absolute
discretion). Any Bank not responding within the foregoing period shall be deemed not to have consented to such extension (any such Bank and any Bank not consenting to such extension, a “Non-Extending
Bank”). The election of any Bank to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Bank to so agree. 
 (c) Notification
by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Bank’s determination under this Section no later than the date 30 days prior to the applicable Loan Anniversary (or such later date as the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree to in their sole discretion) or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day. 

(d) Additional Banks. If (and only if) the Required Banks (not including the newly undertaken commitments of any Additional Banks) have
agreed to extend their Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower shall have the right on or before the Existing Termination Date to replace each Non-Extending Bank with, and add as “Banks” under this


  
 28 












 
Agreement in place thereof, one or more Purchasing Banks (each, an “Additional Bank”) as provided in Sections 6.6 and 13.5(c), each of which Additional Banks shall
have entered into a Transfer Supplement pursuant to which such Additional Bank shall, effective as of the date (no later than the Existing Termination Date) specified in such Transfer Supplement, undertake a Commitment (and, if any such Additional
Bank is already a Bank, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Bank’s Commitment hereunder on such date). 

(e)    Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the Required Banks (not including the newly undertaken
commitments of any Additional Banks) have agreed so to extend their Commitment Termination Date (each, an “Extending Bank”) immediately prior to the applicable Loan Anniversary, then, the Commitment Termination Date of each
Extending Bank and of each Additional Bank shall be the date falling one year after the Existing Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Commitment Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business
Day) and, as of the date specified in the Transfer Supplement pursuant to which an Additional Bank agrees to become a “Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement, such Additional Bank shall become a “Bank” for all purposes of this
Agreement. 
 (f)    Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of
the Commitment Termination Date pursuant to this Section shall not be effective with respect to any Bank unless: 

(i)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension
and after giving effect thereto; 
 (ii)    Borrower delivers a certificate attaching the resolutions
adopted by the Borrower’s Board of Directors or Funding Committee, as the case may be, approving or consenting to such extension; 

(iii)    the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all
material respects (except, if a qualifier relating to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or a similar concept applies to any representation or warranty, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the
date of such extension and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a date, as of such specific date); 

(iv)    on the Commitment Termination Date of each Non-Extending
Bank, the Borrower shall prepay any Committed Loans of such Non-Extending Bank outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 6.5), except to
the extent such amounts have been paid or are being paid by another Bank pursuant to a Transfer Supplement; and 

(v)    since the date of the financial statements most recently delivered to the Administrative Agent in
accordance with Section 9.1(a), no event, circumstance or development shall have occurred that constitutes, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 29 












 (g) Updated Schedule 1. Promptly after each such extension, or any repayment under
Section 2.8(f)(iv), the Administrative Agent shall prepare and deliver to each remaining Bank an updated Schedule 1 to this Agreement, listing the Banks, Commitments and Pro Rata Share after giving effect to such
extension or repayment, as applicable. 
 (h) Conflicting Provisions. This Section 2.8 shall supersede any
provisions in Section 13.4 or Section 5.7 to the contrary. 
 2.9 Defaulting
Banks. 
 (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting
Bank, then, until such time as that Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: 
 (i)
Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Bank’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Banks” and
Section 13.4. 
 (ii) Defaulting Bank Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a
Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 5.7 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 Bank to the
Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by
this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Bank’s potential
future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank against such Defaulting Bank
as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, 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 Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Bank 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 in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time
when the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to
being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Bank until such time as all Loans are held by the Banks pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting
Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto. 

  
 30 












 (iii) Certain Fees. Each Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive
fees payable under Sections 2.7 for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank only to extent allocable to the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Committed Loans funded by it. 

(b) Defaulting Bank Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, the
Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of
outstanding Loans of the other Bank or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Banks in accordance with their Pro Rata Share, whereupon such
Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank; and provided,
further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s
having been a Defaulting Bank. 
 Section 3. Borrowings and Prepayments. 

3.1 Borrowings. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice of each borrowing of Committed Loans to be made hereunder as
provided in Section 5.5. Not later than 1:30 p.m. New York time on the date specified for each such borrowing hereunder, each Bank shall make available the amount of the Committed Loan to be made by it on such date to the
Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Office, in immediately available funds, for the account of the Borrower. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice of each borrowing of Money Market Loans to be made hereunder as provided in
Section 2.3(f). Not later than 2:30 p.m. New York time on the date specified for each such borrowing hereunder, each Bank whose offer to make Money Market Loans has been accepted shall make available the amount of the Money
Market Loan to be made by it on such date to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Office, in immediately available funds, for the account of the Borrower. The amounts so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Borrower by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account specified by the Borrower or, if no such account is specified, in an account of the Borrower maintained with the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Office. 
 3.2 Prepayments of Loans. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Committed
Loans at any time or from time to time; provided, that (a) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice of each such prepayment as provided in Section 5.5 and (b) prepayments of Term SOFR Loans
shall be made together with all amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.5. The Borrower may not prepay Money Market Loans prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto without the consent of the Bank or
Banks holding such Money Market Loans. 

  
 31 












 Section 4. Payments of Principal and Interest. 

4.1 Maturity of Loans. Each Loan other than a Money Market Loan shall mature, and the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank the outstanding principal of each such Loan made by such Bank, on the Commitment Termination Date. Each Money Market Loan shall mature, and the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Bank the outstanding principal amount of each Money Market Loan made by such Bank, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Money Market Loan. 

4.2 Interest. The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each Loan made by such Bank for the period commencing on the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum: 

(a) If such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 

(b) If such Loan is a Term SOFR Loan, for each Interest Period relating thereto, the Adjusted Term SOFR for such Loan for such Interest Period
plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) If such Loan is a Money Market Term SOFR Loan, the Adjusted Term SOFR for such Loan for the Interest
Period therefor plus (or minus) the Money Market Margin quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.3. 

(d) If such Loan is a Money Market Absolute Rate Loan, the Money Market Absolute Rate for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor quoted by
the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.3. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower hereby promises to pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank interest on any principal of any Loan made by such Bank and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder to or for the account of such Bank (including, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, overdue interest) during the continuance of an Event of Default at the applicable Post-Default Rate before as well as after judgment and before and after the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar
debtor relief law. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period for such Loan (and, if such Interest Period exceeds three months’ duration, quarterly, commencing on the first quarterly anniversary of
the first day of such Interest Period) and, upon the prepayment thereof (but only on the principal so prepaid), except that interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand of the Administrative Agent and
interest on any Term SOFR Loan or Money Market Loan that is converted into a Base Rate Loan (pursuant to Section 6.4) shall be payable on the date of conversion (but only to the extent so converted). Promptly after the
determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Banks to which such interest is payable. 

  
 32 












 4.3 Interest Periods. With respect to any Loan, the term “Interest
Period” shall mean: 
 (a) With respect to any Term SOFR Loans, each period commencing on the date such Loans are made, converted
from a Loan of another type or continued and ending on the same day in the first calendar month thereafter, as the Borrower may select as provided in Section 5.5. 

(b) Subject to Section 4.3(c), with respect to any Base Rate Loans, each period commencing on (i) the date such
Loans are made or converted from Loans of another type, or (ii) if outstanding beyond the end of the first Interest Period applicable thereto, the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period, and ending on the day which is the next
succeeding Quarterly Date thereafter. 
 (c) With respect to Base Rate Loans converted from Money Market Loans pursuant to
Section 6.4, prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the period commencing on the date of such conversion and ending on the day the Interest Period for such Money Market Loan would have ended had
such conversion not occurred (on which date such Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable in accordance with Sections 4.1 and 6.4). 

(d) With respect to any Money Market Term SOFR Loans, each period commencing on the date such Loans are made and ending on the same day in the
first calendar month thereafter as the Borrower may select as provided in Section 2.3. 
 (e) With respect to any
Money Market Absolute Rate Loans, each period commencing on the date such Loans are made and ending on the number of days thereafter (but not less than seven days nor more than 360 days) as the Borrower may select as provided in
Section 2.3. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing: 

(i) (x) each Interest Period which would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day shall end on the next succeeding
Business Day (or, in the case of an Interest Period for Term SOFR Loans or Money Market Term SOFR Loans, if such next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, on the immediately preceding Business Day); (y) no more than
six Interest Periods for all Term SOFR Loans and Money Market Term SOFR Loans shall be in effect at the same time (for which purpose Interest Periods described in different paragraphs above shall be different Interest Periods even if they are
coterminous); and (z) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Commitment Termination Date; 
 (ii) The Borrower may
(x) continue any Term SOFR Loan as such, or convert any Term SOFR Loan into a Base Rate Loan, in each case, effective upon the last day of the Interest Period then applicable thereto, or (y) convert any Base Rate Loan into a Term SOFR Loan
(provided, in each case, that no Event of Default shall then exist), by giving notice in accordance with Section 5.5 as if such continuation or conversion were the borrowing of a Loan of the type into which such Loan
is being converted (or, in the case of a continuation, of a Term SOFR Loan); and references to notices of borrowing or to 

  
 33 












 
borrowings in Sections 5.4 and 5.5 and in the definition of “Business Day” shall include, respectively, notices of continuation or conversion and continuations or
conversions. If, in connection with any continuation of or conversion into a Term SOFR Loan, the Borrower neglects to elect an Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an Interest Period of one month. The provisions
of Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 shall apply to voluntary continuations of and conversions into Term SOFR Loans as if such continuation or conversion were the making (or borrowing, as the case may be) of a
Term SOFR Loan; and 
 (iii) no tenor that has been removed from this definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to
Section 4.4 or Section 6.8 shall be available for specification in any notices of any borrowings, continuation or conversion. 

4.4 Term SOFR Conforming Changes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, in connection
with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing
such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and each Bank of the effectiveness
of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR. 
 Section 5. Payments; Pro Rata Treatment;
Computations; Etc.. 
 5.1 Payments. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and
other amounts to be made by the Borrower hereunder and under the Notes shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind to the Administrative
Agent at the Administrative Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. New York time on the date such payment shall become due (each such payment made on such due date but after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).
If a new Loan is to be made by any Bank on a date the Borrower is to repay any principal of an outstanding Loan of such Bank, such Bank shall apply the proceeds of such new Loan to the payment of the principal to be repaid and only an amount equal
to the excess of the principal to be borrowed over the principal to be repaid, subject to Section 7.2, shall be made available by such Bank to the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 3.1 or
paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.1, as the case may be. The Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment hereunder or under any Note, specify to the Administrative Agent the
Loans or other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that it fails to so specify, or if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may apply such payment in the
manner determined by the Required Banks, but subject to Section 5.2). Each payment received by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note for the account of a Bank shall be paid promptly to such Bank, in
immediately available funds, for the account of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office for the Loan in respect of which such payment is made. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date
on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks hereunder 

  
 34 












 
that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment to the Administrative Agent on such date in accordance herewith and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Banks such amount due. If the Borrower does not make such payment on the date on which such payment is due, then each of the Banks severally agrees to repay the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a
rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Rate for such period. If the due date of any payment hereunder or under any Note would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day
and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension. 
 5.2 Pro Rata Treatment. Except to
the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Banks under Section 2.1 shall be made by the Banks and each payment of Facility Fees under Section 2.7, shall be made for the
account of the Banks, and each reduction of the Commitments under Section 2.2 shall be applied to the Commitments of the Banks, in each case, according to their respective Pro Rata Share, (b) each payment of principal
of or interest on Committed Loans by the Borrower of a particular type shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks holding Loans of such type pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such
Committed Loans held by such Banks and (c) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each payment of principal of or interest on Money Market Loans by the Borrower shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Banks holding Money Market Loans pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Money Market Loans held by such Banks. 

5.3 Computations. Interest on Term SOFR Loans, Money Market Loans, Base Rate Loans determined by using the Federal Funds Rate or Term
SOFR and Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or Facility Fees are payable and interest on
Base Rate Loans (other than Base Rate Loans determined by using the Federal Funds Rate or Term SOFR) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. 
 5.4 Certain Minimum Amounts. Each partial reduction in the
Commitments, and each borrowing or prepayment of principal of Committed Loans shall be in an amount equal to the relevant minimum amounts or corresponding larger whole multiples specified below: 

 

									
	 	  	Minimum Amount	 	  	Multiples of	 
	 Reduction of Commitments
	  	$	10,000,000	 	  	$	1,000,000	 
	 Borrowing of:
	  				  			
	 Base Rate Loans
	  	$	10,000,000	 	  	$	1,000,000	 
	 Term SOFR Loans
	  	$	10,000,000	 	  	$	1,000,000	 
	 Prepayment of:
	  				  			
	 Base Rate Loans
	  	$	10,000,000	 	  	$	1,000,000	 
	 Term SOFR Loans
	  	$	10,000,000	 	  	$	1,000,000	 


  
 35 












 Borrowings of Base Rate Loans may be in any amount if such borrowing exhausts the full remaining amount of
the Commitments. Borrowings or prepayments of Loans of different types or, in the case of Term SOFR Loans, having different Interest Periods at the same time hereunder shall be deemed separate borrowings or prepayments for the purposes of the
foregoing, one for each type or Interest Period. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate principal amount of Term SOFR Loans having the same Interest Period shall be at least equal to the minimum amount set forth
above. 
 5.5 Certain Notices. Notices by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of terminations or reductions of Commitments, of
borrowings and prepayments of Committed Loans shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. New York time (or 3:00 p.m. New York time in the case of a prepayment of Base Rate
Loans) on the number of Business Days prior to the date of the relevant termination, reduction, borrowing or prepayment specified below: 
  

							
	 	 	 	  	 Number of Business Days or

U.S. Government Securities
 Business Days

Prior Notice
	  	 
				
		 	 Termination or reduction 
of Commitments
	  	3 (Business Days)	  	
				
		 	 Borrowing of:
	  		  	
				
		 	 Base Rate Loans
	  	0	  	
				
		 	 Term SOFR Loans
	  	 3 (U.S. Government Securities

Business Days)
	  	
				
		 	 Prepayment of:
	  		  	
				
		 	 Base Rate Loans
	  	1 (Business Days)	  	
				
		 	 Term SOFR Loans
	  	 3 (U.S. Government Securities

Business Days)
	  	

 Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify the amount of the Commitments to be terminated or reduced. Each
such notice of borrowing or prepayment shall specify the Loans to be borrowed or prepaid and the amount (subject to Section 5.4) and type of the Loans to be borrowed or prepaid and the date of borrowing or prepayment (which
shall be a Business Day) and, with respect to borrowings of Term SOFR Loans, the Interest Period therefor. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Banks of the contents of each such notice. In the event that the Borrower fails to select
the duration of any Interest Period for Term SOFR Loans within the time period as provided in this Section 5.5, such Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans. 

  
 36 












 5.6 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative
Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Bank or the Borrower (each, a “Payor”) prior to the time at which such Bank is to make payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan to be made
by it hereunder or the Borrower is to make a payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of one or more of the Banks, as the case may be (such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be
effective upon receipt, that such Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be
required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient (whether a Bank or the Borrower) of such payment made by
the Administrative Agent shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to it together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date (the “Advance Date”) such
amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent to such recipient until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day. If such recipient fails promptly to repay the
Administrative Agent the amount received by it, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover (without duplication) such amount, on demand, from the Payor, together with interest as aforesaid, provided that if neither the recipient
nor the Payor shall return the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent within three Business Days of the Advance Date, then, retroactively to the Advance Date, the Payor and the recipient shall each be obligated to pay interest on the Required
Payment as follows: 
 (i) if the Required Payment shall represent a payment to be made by the Borrower to the Banks, the
Borrower and the recipient shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment at the Post-Default Rate (and, in case the recipient shall return the Required Payment to the Administrative
Agent, without limiting the obligation of the Borrower under Section 4.2 hereof to pay interest to such recipient at the Post-Default Rate in respect of the Required Payment); and 

(ii) if the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a Loan to be made by the Banks to the Borrower, the Payor and the
Borrower shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment at the rate of interest provided for such Required Payment pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof (and, in case
the Borrower shall return the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, without limiting any claim the Borrower may have against the Payor in respect of the Required Payment). 

5.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc.. If any Bank shall effect payment, in cash or otherwise, of any Facility Fees or any principal of or
interest on a Loan made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement through the exercise of any right of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar right, and such Bank shall have received a greater
percentage, in cash or otherwise, of the Facility Fees or the principal or interest then due hereunder to such Bank in respect of its Loans than the percentage received by any other Bank, it shall promptly purchase from the other Banks
participations in the Loans made by the other Banks in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable to the end that all the Banks shall share the benefit of such payment pro rata in accordance with the unpaid
Facility Fees, principal and interest on the Loans held by each of them. To such end all the Banks shall make 

  
 37 












 
appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Bank so
purchasing a participation in the Loans made by the other Banks under this Section 5.7 may to the extent permitted by applicable law exercise all rights of set-off, bankers’
lien, counterclaim, or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise any such right or shall
affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under
applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Loan, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) 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. In the event that any Defaulting Bank shall
exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.9 and, pending such
payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Bank from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and (y) the Defaulting Bank shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a
statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Bank as to which it exercised such right of setoff. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) 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, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). 

Section 6. Yield Protection and Illegality. 

6.1 Additional Costs. (a) If, due to any Regulatory Change, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Bank of agreeing to
make or making, funding or maintaining Term SOFR Loans or Money Market Loans (other than Non-Excluded Taxes), then the Borrower with respect to its Term SOFR Loans or Money Market Loans shall from time to
time, within thirty (30) days of a demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay directly to such Bank additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Bank for such increased cost (“Additional
Costs”). Each Bank will notify the Borrower of any event which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof (provided
that failure or delay on the part of any Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that
the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Bank for such Additional Costs if such Bank obtained knowledge of such Additional Costs more than 180 days prior to the date that such Bank notifies the Borrower of such Additional Costs;
provided, further, that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such Additional Costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof), and will, use its reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Bank affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such
compensation and will not, in the sole discretion of such Bank, be disadvantageous to the Bank or contrary to its policies. Each 

  
 38 












 
Bank will furnish the Borrower with a certificate (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Bank for compensation under this
Section 6.1(a). If any Bank requests compensation from the Borrower under this Section 6.1(a), the Borrower may, by notice to such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the
obligation of such Bank to make additional Loans of the type with respect to which such compensation is requested until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of
Section 6.4 hereof shall be applicable). 
 (b) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this
Section 6.1, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Bank either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or
other liabilities of such Bank which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Term SOFR Loans or Money Market Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Bank
which includes Term SOFR Loans or Money Market Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold, then, if such Bank so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Bank to make Loans of such type hereunder shall be suspended until the date such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 6.4 shall be
applicable). 
 (c) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1 (but without
duplication), the Borrower shall pay directly to each Bank from time to time within thirty (30) days of any request such amounts as such Bank may determine after the date hereof to be necessary to compensate such Bank for any costs which it
determines are attributable to the maintenance by it or any of its affiliates pursuant to any Regulatory Change of capital or liquidity requirements in respect of its Loans hereunder or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (such compensation to
include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction in return on assets or equity of such Bank to a level below that which it could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change). Each Bank will notify the Borrower if it is entitled to
compensation pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) as promptly as practicable; provided, that failure or delay on the part of any Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) shall
not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Bank for such costs if such Bank obtained knowledge of such costs more than
180 days prior to the date that such Bank notifies the Borrower of such costs; provided, further, that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Each Bank will furnish the Borrower with a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Bank for compensation under this
Section 6.1(c). 
 (d) Determinations and allocations by any Bank for purposes of this
Section 6.1 of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to Sections 6.1(a) or (b), or the effect of capital or liquidity maintained pursuant to Section 6.1(c), on its costs of
making or maintaining Loans or on amounts received or receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the additional amounts required to compensate such Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive (absent manifest error),
provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis.

 6.2 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. Subject to
Section 6.8, if: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period; or 

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Banks by written notice that Adjusted Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to such Banks of making or maintaining any affected applicable Loans, 
 then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall give
notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Banks as promptly as practicable thereafter. 
 Upon notice thereof by the Administrative
Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Banks to make Term SOFR Loans or Money Market Term SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to convert a Loan to, or continue a Loan as, a Term SOFR Loan or Money Market Term SOFR Loan, shall be
suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans, the affected Money Market Term SOFR Loans, and the affected Interest Periods), until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of the Required Banks) revokes
such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or Money Market Term SOFR Loans (in each case, to the extent of the affected Loans
or, in the case of Term SOFR Loans or Money Market Term SOFR Loans, the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, in the case of any request for an affected Term SOFR Loan or Money Market Term SOFR Loan, the Borrower will be deemed to have
converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans or Money Market Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been
converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to
Section 6.5. Subject to Section 6.8, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be
determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the
Administrative Agent revokes such determination. 
 6.3 Illegality. If any Bank determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that
any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Bank or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund any Money Market Loans or any Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate,
Term SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR then, upon notice thereof by such Bank to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) (each, an “Illegality Notice”), (a) any obligation of the Bank to make any applicable Affected Type of Loan,
as applicable, and any right of the Borrower to convert Loans to, or continue Loans as, any applicable Affected Type of Loan shall be suspended and (b) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate
without reference 

  
 40 












 
to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until each such affected Bank notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to
such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of any Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Loans of
any applicable Affected Type to another type of Loan on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Banks may lawfully continue to maintain such or Money Market Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, to such day, or immediately,
if any Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain such or Money Market Loans or such Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, on a day other than the last day of the affected Interest Period, the Borrower
shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 6.5. 

6.4 Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Bank to make Term SOFR Loans or Money Market Loans shall be suspended
pursuant to Sections 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3 (loans of such type being herein called “Affected Loans” and such type being herein called the “Affected Type”), all Loans (other than Money Market Loans)
which would otherwise be made by such Bank as Loans of the Affected Type shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans and, if an event referred to in Sections 6.1(b), 6.2 or 6.3 has occurred and such Bank so requests by notice to
the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent, all Affected Loans of such Bank then outstanding shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or if required by applicable law
on such earlier date specified by such Bank in such notice and, to the extent that Affected Loans are so made (or converted), all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Bank’s Affected Loans shall be applied instead to
such Loans. 
 6.5 Compensation. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and to hold each Bank harmless from any loss, cost or
expense (including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds or from any fees payable) which may arise, be attributable to or result due to or as a consequence of (and the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each such Bank upon the request of such Bank through the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Bank for any such loss, cost or expense incurred by such Bank): 

(a) any payment, prepayment or conversion (in each case, whether voluntary or involuntary (including as a result of an Event of Default)) of a
Term SOFR Loan or a Money Market Loan made by such Bank on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan; or 
 (b) any
failure by the Borrower to borrow, continue, convert or prepay a Term SOFR Loan or Money Market Loan to be made by such Bank on the date for such borrowing, continuation, conversion or prepayment specified in the relevant notice of borrowing,
continuation, conversion or prepayment under Sections 2.3 or 5.5; or 
 (c) any assignment, at the Borrower’s request in
accordance with Section 6.6, of any Term SOFR Loan or any Money Market Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto; 

  
 41 












 
such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid,
assigned, or converted or not borrowed, continued, converted or prepaid for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, assignment, or conversion or failure to borrow, continue, convert or prepay to the last day of the then current
Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, continue, convert or prepay, the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, continue, convert or prepay) at the applicable
rate of interest for such Loan provided for herein over (y) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Bank) such Bank would have paid in respect of Dollar deposits in amounts comparable to the principal amount so paid, prepaid,
assigned, or converted or not borrowed, continued, converted or prepaid and maturities comparable to the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, assignment or conversion or failure to borrow, continue, convert or prepay to the date
described in (x) above placed with it by leading banks in the interbank market in which it would typically obtain Dollar deposits for purposes of such Loan (if such Loan is a Term SOFR Loan or a Money Market Term SOFR Loan) or the United States
secondary certificate of deposit market (if such Loan is a Money Market Absolute Rate Loan) for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined
by such Bank). A certificate of any Bank setting forth any amount or amounts that such Bank is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be conclusive so long as made reasonably and in good faith and without
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
payment of the Loans, reimbursement obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 6.6 Replacement Banks(a) . (a) So long as
no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may, at any time, replace any Bank that has requested compensation from the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.7 hereof, or whose obligation to make
additional Term SOFR Loans or Money Market Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 6.1(b) or 6.3 hereof, or any Bank that is a Defaulting Bank (any such Bank being herein called an “Affected
Bank”) by giving not less than 10 Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify such Affected Bank and each other Bank) that it intends to replace such Affected Bank with one or more other lenders
(including any Bank) selected by the Borrower and acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which shall not unreasonably withhold its consent). The method (whether by assignment or otherwise) of and documentation for such replacement shall be either a
Transfer Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit I or otherwise acceptable to the Affected Bank and the Administrative Agent (which shall not unreasonably withhold their consent and shall cooperate with the Borrower in effecting such
replacement). Upon the effective date of any replacement under this Section 6.6(a) (and as a condition thereto), the Borrower shall, or shall cause the replacement lender(s) to, pay to the Affected Bank being replaced any
amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including, without limitation, interest, Facility Fees, compensation and additional amounts under this Section 6, in each case accrued to the effective date of such
replacement), whereupon each replacement lender shall become a “Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement having a Commitment in the amount of such Affected Bank’s Commitment assumed by it, and such Commitment of the Affected Bank
being replaced shall be terminated upon such effective date and all of such Affected Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate (provided that the obligations of the Borrower under Sections 6.1, 6.5,
6.7 and 13.3 hereof to such Affected Bank shall survive such replacement as provided in Section 13.6). 

  
 42 












 (b) So long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if at any time a Bank,
together with its Affiliates, holds more than 15% of the total Commitments and/or Loans (any such Bank, together with its Affiliates, an “Excess Bank” and such amount in excess of 15% of the total Commitments and/or Loans, the “Excess
Amount”), the Borrower may request that the Excess Bank assign the Excess Amount to one or more Non-Excess Banks so that after giving effect to such assignment the assignor Bank is no longer an Excess
Bank and the assignee Banks are not Excess Banks. A “Non-Excess Bank” means a lender (including any Bank) selected by the Borrower and, in the case of a lender that is not an existing Bank,
acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which shall not unreasonably withhold its consent). The method of and documentation for such assignment shall be a Transfer Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit I. Upon the effective date of any
assignment under this Section 6.6(b) (and as a condition thereto), the Borrower shall cause the Non-Excess Bank to, assume, in the case of Commitments, and pay, in the case of Loans to the Excess Bank its
portion of the Excess Amounts so being assigned (including interest, Facility Fees, compensation and additional amounts under this Section 6, in each case accrued to the effective date of such assignment). In the case of a lender that was not a
Bank prior to the assignment, such lender shall become a “Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement having a Commitment in the amount of the Commitment assumed by it, and such Commitment of the Excess Bank being assigned shall be terminated
upon such effective date. 
 6.7 Taxes. (a) Except as expressly provided in Section 6.7(b), all
payments (whether of principal, interest, fees, reimbursements or otherwise) by the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made free and clear of
and without deduction or withholding for any present or future tax, levy, impost or any other similar charge and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (“Taxes”), if any, now or hereafter imposed by the
United States government or any Governmental Authority thereof other than (i) income or franchise taxes imposed on (or measured by) net income or net earnings by any such tax authority, (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s
failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.5(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA (all such
non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts and other similar amounts, “Non-Excluded Taxes”). In the event that any
Non-Excluded Taxes are required by law to be deducted or withheld from any payments by the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on the date of each such payment, such additional
amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by Administrative Agent and the Banks after such deduction or withholding shall equal the amounts which would have been received if such deduction or withholding were not required,
provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay such additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Bank unless such Bank complies with the provisions of clause (b) below. The Borrower shall
confirm that all applicable Non-Excluded Taxes, if any, imposed on this Agreement and the Notes or transactions hereunder shall have been properly and legally paid by it to the appropriate Governmental
Authority by sending official tax receipts or notarized copies of such receipts to the Administrative Agent within 30 days after payment of any applicable Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this
Section 6.7, the term “law” shall include FATCA. 

  
 43 












 (b) With respect to each Bank and SPC (including each Purchasing Bank that becomes a party
to this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.5(c)) which is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a “Non-U.S. Bank”), on or prior to the
first date on which such Bank becomes a party to this Agreement, each such Bank shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with the Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or Form W-8 ECI or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto certifying as to such Bank’s status for purposes of determining exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be
made to such Bank hereunder. In addition, each Bank that is a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “U.S. Bank”), on or prior to the date of its
execution of this Agreement in the case of each U.S. Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank (including, without limitation, a Purchasing Bank that is an
assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.5), shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with its Internal Revenue Service Form
W-9 or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto certifying as to such U.S. Bank’s status for purposes of determining exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all
payments to be made to such U.S. Bank hereunder. If a payment (whether of principal, interest, fees, reimbursements or otherwise) by the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if
the applicable Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Bank 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 Internal Revenue 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 Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this
Section 6.7(b), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Non-U.S. Bank or U.S. Bank, as the case may be, shall from time to
time thereafter for so long as such Non-U.S. Bank or U.S. Bank, as the case may be, is legally entitled to do so promptly deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent all such forms required pursuant
to this Section 6.7(b) upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by it. Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, have received such forms and such other documents
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to United States withholding tax, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall withhold taxes from such payments at
the applicable statutory rate in the case of payments to or for any Non-U.S. Bank or U.S. Bank, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.7, the
Borrower shall be obligated to gross-up any payments to any Bank or Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, a Purchasing Bank that is an assignee or a transferee of an interest under this
Agreement or a successor Administrative Agent) in the manner set forth in Section 6.7(a) in respect of the sum of (i) any amounts deducted or withheld by it pursuant to this Section 6.7(b) as
a result of changes after the date on which such Bank or Administrative Agent became a party hereto in any applicable law, treaty, governmental 

  
 44 












 
rule, regulation, order, or interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of taxes and (ii) in the case of a Purchasing Bank or successor Administrative Agent, the amount
to which its assignor or predecessor was entitled under this Section 6.7, provided, however, that the amount payable pursuant to clause (ii) shall not exceed the actual amount of Non-Excluded Taxes actually imposed with respect to payments to such Purchasing Bank or successor Administrative Agent; and provided, further that the Borrower may set off against such amounts any
penalties and interest arising out of a Bank’s failure to timely provide any form requested to be provided pursuant to this Section 6.7(b) within 30 days of such Bank’s receipt of the Borrower’s written
request for such form. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent on an
after-tax basis for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on or with respect to amounts payable under this Agreement or the Notes, paid by such Bank or
Administrative Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom. Payment of this indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Bank or Administrative Agent makes a written demand therefor. Such
written demand shall include a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the type and amount of such Non-Excluded Taxes. Any such certificate submitted in good faith by such Bank or Administrative Agent
to the Borrower shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties. 
 (d) If any Bank determines in its sole discretion
that it has actually received or realized any refund of tax, any reduction of, or credit against, its tax liabilities or otherwise recovered any amount in connection with any deduction or withholding, or payment of any additional amount, by the
Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.7 or Section 13.3, such Bank shall reimburse the Borrower an amount that the Bank shall, in its sole discretion, determine is equal to the net benefit, after
tax, and net of all expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with such refund which was actually obtained by the Bank as a consequence of such refund, reduction, credit or recovery; provided, that nothing in this clause
(d) shall require any Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems to be confidential). The Borrower shall return such amount to the Bank in the event that the Bank is required to
repay such refund of tax or is not entitled to such reduction of, or credit against, its tax liabilities. 
 6.8 Benchmark Replacement
Setting.  
 (a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit
Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect
to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all
affected Banks and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Banks comprising the Required Banks. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement
pursuant to this Section 6.8(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. 

  
 45 












 (b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use,
administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document,
any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document. 

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of
(i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 6.8(d). 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 6.8, 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 Credit Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 6.8. 

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit 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 Reference 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, in consultation with the Borrower the definition of “Interest Period” for any
affected 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 such 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 such Benchmark
(including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify, in consultation with the Borrower, the definition of “Interest Period” for all affected Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously
removed tenor. 
 (e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark
Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, (i) the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or Money Market Term SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any
Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (ii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans or Money
Market Term 

  
 46 












 SOFR Loan, if applicable, will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the
applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, but shall not be required to pay any additional amounts that would otherwise be required pursuant to
Section 6.5. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the
then-current Benchmark that is the subject of such Benchmark Unavailability Period or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

(a) No Default shall have occurred and be continuing or will result from the making of such Loans. 

(b) Except as previously disclosed by the Borrower in writing and waived in accordance with Section 13.4, the
representations and warranties made by the Borrower in Section 8 (excluding Section 8.4(b)) shall be true and correct on and as of the date of the making of such Loans with the same force and

 48 












 Each borrowing of Loans hereunder shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower on the
date of such borrowing as to the facts specified in clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 7.2. 

Section 8. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Banks that: 

8.1 Organization and Good Standing. The Borrower is duly organized and validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws
of the State of California, with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is presently conducted. Each Subsidiary is duly organized and validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is presently conducted. 

8.2 Due Qualification. The Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing, and
has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would
not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 8.3 Power and Authority. The Borrower has the corporate power and the authority to execute and
deliver the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to carry out their respective terms; and the execution, delivery and performance of each Credit Document to which it is a party have been duly authorized by the Borrower by all necessary
corporation action. 
 8.4 Financial Statements. (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished the Administrative Agent and the
Banks copies of its audited financial statements for the three fiscal years ended March 31, 2021. Such financial statements (including the notes thereto) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles followed
throughout the periods involved and present fairly the financial condition of the Borrower as at the dates thereof and the results of the operations and the change in the financial position of the Borrower for the periods indicated. The Borrower has
no contingent liabilities or other contracts or commitments not disclosed in its financial statements. 
 (b) Since March 31, 2021
there has been no material adverse change in the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrower. 
 8.5 No Consents. No
consent, approval, authorization, order or decree of, or notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents. 

8.6 Binding Obligations. Each Credit Document constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by general principles of equity,
regardless of whether such enforceability shall be considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

  
 49 












 8.7 No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance of each Credit Document by
the Borrower and the fulfillment of the terms thereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the articles of incorporation or by-laws (or similar organizational documents) of the Borrower, nor conflict with or violate any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, any indenture,
agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which it is bound; nor result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other
instrument; nor violate any law or, to the best of its knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Borrower of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Borrower or its properties; which breach, default, conflict, Lien
or violation would have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 8.8 No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending, or to
the Borrower’s best knowledge, threatened, before any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction: (i) asserting the invalidity of any Credit Document, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by

except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact who are not its own
employees and who are selected by it with reasonable care. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or
in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

  
 61 












 12.2 Reliance by Agents. The Administrative Agent and each of the Agents shall be
entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telecopier, e-mail or any electronic message) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent or any of the Agents. As to any matters not
expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Banks, and such instructions of the
Required Banks and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks. 
 12.3 Defaults. The
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default (other than the non-payment of principal of or interest on Loans) unless the Administrative Agent has received notice
from a Bank or the Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall
give prompt notice thereof to the Banks (and shall give each Bank prompt notice of each such non-payment and the Borrower). The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 12.7)
take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Required Banks, provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Banks; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such action which it determines to be
contrary to law. 
 12.4 Rights as a Bank. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, MUFG and each Bank which is also
an Agent, in its capacity as a Bank hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as an Agent, and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless the
context otherwise indicates, include such Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and each of the other Agents and its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Bank) accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower (and any of its Affiliates or its Subsidiaries) as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent or Agent, and the Administrative Agent and each of the other Agents
may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Banks. 

12.5 Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Auction Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under
Section 13.3, but without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under said Section 13.3), ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans made by the Banks (or, if no
Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any other Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions
contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses which the Borrower is obligated to 

  
 62 












 
pay under Section 13.3 but excluding, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency
duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
party to be indemnified as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 12.6
Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Banks. Each Bank agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor
any other Agent shall be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower of this Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the properties or books of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent shall have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (or any of their Affiliates) which may come into the possession of the Administrative
Agent or any other Agent or any of its affiliates. 
 12.7 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Administrative
Agent hereunder the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by
it for reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 
 12.8 Resignation/Substitution of Administrative Agent.
(a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, 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 and, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, with the consent of the Borrower (which may not be unreasonably withheld). 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’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the
Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, with the consent of the Borrower (which may not be unreasonably withheld), which shall be a bank having capital and surplus of at
least $1,000,000,000 and organized under the laws of any country (or any political subdivision thereof) that is a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, 

  
 63 












 
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
acting as an Administrative Agent. 
 (b) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and subject to
the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Borrower may substitute the Administrative Agent at any time, upon 30 days’ written notice to the Banks and the Administrative Agent, notifying them of
the substitution and nominating a proposed successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Bank having capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 and organized under the laws of any country (or any political subdivision thereof) that is a
member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (any such Bank, a “Qualified Successor”). Upon the consent of the Required Banks to the appointment of such nominee and acceptance by such nominee of its
appointment (or, if later, the thirtieth day after the Borrower’s delivery of such notice), such nominee shall become the successor Administrative Agent. If no Qualified Successor shall have been so nominated by the Borrower (or, if any prior
nominee is not so consented to by the Required Banks, nominated by the Borrower after its giving of notice of substitution) and consented to by the Required Banks and shall have accepted appointment as successor Administrative Agent within 30 days
after the Borrower’s giving of notice of substitution, then the Borrower may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Qualified Successor (each Bank, by its becoming a Bank, hereby authorizing the
Borrower to take such action on its behalf); provided, however, that if the Borrower, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, appoints a successor Administrative Agent without the consent of the Required Banks, then the Required
Banks may, by giving notice within 45 days thereafter, replace such successor Administrative Agent with a new Administrative Agent that shall be a Qualified Successor upon 30 days notice to the Borrower and to the successor Administrative Agent
appointed by the Borrower. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the substituted Administrative Agent, and the substituted Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any substituted Administrative Agent’s substitution hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Administrative Agent. 

12.9 Amendments Concerning Agency Function. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent shall be bound by any waiver,
amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement or any Note which affects its duties hereunder or thereunder unless it shall have given its prior consent thereto. 

12.10 Liability of Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent shall have any liabilities or responsibilities to the
Borrower on account of the failure of any Bank to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Bank on account of the failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any Note. 

  
 64 












 12.11 Transfer of Administrative Agency Function. Without the consent of the Borrower
or any Bank, the Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time transfer its functions as Administrative Agent hereunder to any of its affiliates or offices located in the United States, provided that the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks thereof. 
 12.12 Certain ERISA Matters 

(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 not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that at least one of the
following is and will be true: 
 (i) such Bank is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of
Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement, 

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a
class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts),
PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions
involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect
to such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, 

(iii) (A) such Bank is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of
Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Bank to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and
this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g)
of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Bank, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such

discretion, and such Bank. 
 (b) In addition, unless either (1) clause 12.12(a)(i) is true with respect to a Bank or (2) a
Bank has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with clause 12.12(a)(iv), such Bank further (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 

  
 65 












 
Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the
Borrower, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Bank involved in such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement
(including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Credit Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). 

12.13 Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative
Agent notifies a Bank that it has made a payment hereunder in error to any Bank, whether or not in respect of a Loan and any other obligations of the Borrower or Credit Party hereunder due and owing by the Borrower or any other Credit Party at such
time, where such payment is (1) in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrower or such other Credit Party in respect of such obligation to such Bank (whether or not then owed); or (2) for any reason otherwise erroneously made by the
Administrative Agent (such payment referred to as an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), then in any such event, each Bank receiving an Erroneous Payment severally agrees to repay
to the Administrative Agent promptly on demand, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, the amount of such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) received by such Bank as to which such a demand was made in immediately available
funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment was received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Bank irrevocably waives any and all defenses,
including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Erroneous
Payment received. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Bank promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Bank comprised, in whole or in part, an Erroneous Payment. 

Section 13. Miscellaneous. 

13.1 Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of
dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Document preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 

13.2 Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be by telephone, telecopier, electronic mail or in writing
and telephoned, telecopied, mailed (electronic or otherwise) or delivered to the intended recipient at the telephone or telecopier number or “Address for Notices” specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or on the signature pages to
this Agreement; or, as to any party, at such other telephone, electronic mail or telecopier number or address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to each other party. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.3, 5.5 and
5.6, all notices and other communications 

  
 66 












 
hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by electronic mail or telecopier, or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, five Business Days after the date
deposited in the mails, airmail postage prepaid, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid; provided that any notices transmitted by electronic mail or telecopier shall be deemed received on the day of transmittal only if received during a
Person’s normal business hours, and if not so received, such notice shall be deemed received upon the opening of the recipient’s next Business Day. Telephoned notices shall be promptly confirmed by the sender by electronic mail or
telecopy. 
 13.3 Expenses; Documentary Taxes; Indemnification. (a) Whether or not the Effective Date shall have occurred, the
Borrower agrees to pay (i) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, (A) including reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm acting
as special counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the due diligence, preparation, execution and delivery of any Credit Document, any waiver or consent thereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder
and (B) in connection with the administration and syndication (including, without limitation, printing and distribution) of the credit facility provided hereby and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, including fees and disbursements of counsel (including without limitation the reasonably allocated costs of internal counsel if the
Borrower shall not also be responsible for the costs of other counsel for such Person) in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom. The Borrower shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent, each other Agent and each Bank against any transfer, documentary stamp, registration, recording, excise, intangible or similar taxes, assessments or charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the
execution and delivery of any Credit Document. 
 (b) Whether or not the Effective Date shall have occurred and whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each other Agent, each Bank and their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents (each an
“Indemnified Party”) from and against all losses, settlement costs, liabilities, penalties, claims, damages or expenses that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party arising out of or in connection
with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) the Credit Documents, the use of the proceeds thereof, or any related
transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, and to reimburse each Indemnified Party promptly upon demand for any legal or other
expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing, provided that the foregoing indemnity and reimbursement obligations will not, as to any Indemnified Party, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses to the extent they are found in a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such
Indemnified Party as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
  

  
 67 












 13.4 Amendments and Waivers. 

(a) Subject to Section 6.8, any provision of any Credit Document to which the Banks are a party 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 are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent); provided that no such
amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all the Banks, (i) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks and except pursuant to Section 13.5(c)) or
subject any Bank to any additional obligation, (ii) forgive or reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees
hereunder or for any termination of any Commitment, (iv) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes, or the number of Banks which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any
action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, (v) amend the definition of “Required Banks,” (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.4, (vii) extend the Commitment
Termination Date, (viii) amend or waive any provisions in Section 5.2 or 5.7 or (ix) consent to any release or termination of the HMC Support Agreement. 

(b) No Defaulting Banks shall have the right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent, except that in the case of an
amendment, waiver or consent that has the effect of (a) increasing the Commitment of such Defaulting Bank, (b) reducing the principal amount of any Loans, interest or fees payable to such Defaulting Bank, (c) postponing the scheduled
date of payment of any principal, interest or fees or reducing the amount of, waiving or excusing any such payment, or postponing the scheduled date of the expiration of the Commitment of such Defaulting Bank, (d) changing the application of
payments, the pro rata sharing provisions and the provisions with respect of the termination or reduction of Commitments, or (e) amending this paragraph, such Defaulting Bank shall have the right to approve or disapprove such amendment,
waiver or consent to the same extent as if such Defaulting Bank were not a Defaulting Bank. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower, may amend, modify or supplement this Agreement and any other Credit Document without the consent of any Bank or the Required Banks in order to correct any ambiguity, inconsistency, defect or
any typographical error or other manifest error in any Credit Document. Upon completion of any modification or supplement to this Agreement or other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of such modification or
supplement, accompanied by a copy thereof. 
 13.5 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments. 

(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Banks, the
Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each
Bank. No Bank may participate, assign or sell any of its Credit Exposure (as defined in clause (b) below) except as required by operation of law, in connection with the mergers or consolidation of any Bank or as provided in this
Section 13.5. 

  
 68 












 (b) Participations. Any Bank may at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a
“Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Bank, any Note held by such Bank, any Commitment of such Bank and any other interest of such Bank under the Credit Documents (in respect of any such Bank, its
“Credit Exposure”). Notwithstanding any such sale by a Bank of participating interests to a Participant, such Bank’s rights and obligations under the Credit Documents shall remain unchanged, such Bank shall remain solely
responsible for the performance thereof, such Bank shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this Agreement (except as expressly provided below), and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under the Credit Documents. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 6; provided
that the transferor Bank and the Participant, together, shall not be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Section than the transferor Bank would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participating interest
transferred by such transferor Bank to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. No such sale of a participating interest shall be made (A) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any
Defaulting Bank, or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Bank hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B) or (C) a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or
trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of one or more natural Person. Each Bank agrees that any agreement between such Bank and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Bank’s
right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement or any Credit Document, except where the result of any of the foregoing would be to extend the maturity of any Loan or Commitment or reduce the rate or extend the
time of payment of interest and fees thereon or reduce the principal amount thereof. 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 Credit Exposure or other obligations under the Credit 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 the Credit Exposure or other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Credit Exposure 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) Assignments to Purchasing Banks. Any Bank may in
the ordinary course of its business and in compliance with applicable law, and having given at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice to, and received the consent of, the Administrative Agent and (to the extent required under clause
(ii) below) the Borrower, assign to one or more banks, other institutions or special purpose funding vehicles (“Purchasing Banks”) all or any part of its Credit Exposure pursuant to a supplement to this Agreement,
substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by such Purchasing Bank and such transferor Bank; provided, that any assignment to any Person other than a Bank or an Affiliate of the assignor
of less than 

  
 69 












 
all of its Credit Exposure shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000. Upon (i) such execution of such Transfer Supplement, (ii) consent by the Administrative Agent thereto
(which may not be unreasonably withheld) and, if no Event of Default shall then be continuing, consent by the Borrower thereto (which may not be unreasonably withheld), provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such
assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 7 Business Days after having received notice thereof and provided, further, that the consent of the Borrower or Administrative Agent shall
not be required for assignments to another Bank or affiliate of such assigning Bank, (iii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (iv) payment by such Purchasing Bank to such transferor Bank of
an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Purchasing Bank, and (v) payment to the Administrative Agent of the assignment fee set forth in clause 4 of such Transfer Supplement, such transferor Bank
shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Bank shall for all purposes be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement to the
same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Banks or the Agents shall be required. Such Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement and Schedule 1 to the extent,
and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Bank as a Bank and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments, if any, arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Bank of all or a portion of the Credit Exposure of such
transferor Bank. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Bank, or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Bank hereunder,
would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B). Promptly after the consummation of any transfer to a Purchasing Bank pursuant hereto, the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate
arrangements so that a replacement Note (if requested) is issued to such transferor Bank and a new Note (if requested) is issued to such Purchasing Bank, in each case in principal amounts reflecting such transfer and, if applicable, in exchange for
the Notes issued to such transferor Bank prior to such assignment. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Transfer Supplement
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks (including the Purchasing Banks), and the Credit Exposures of, and principal amounts (and stated interest, Interest Periods, applicable terms (if any), and
types) of the Credit Exposures 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. 
 (d) Disclosure of Information. The Borrower authorizes each
Bank to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing Bank (each, a “Transferee”), any prospective Transferee, any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap, derivative or securitization
transaction related to the obligations under this Agreement, or any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrower and its obligations, any and all financial and other information in such Bank’s possession concerning the Borrower which has
been delivered to such Bank by the Borrower pursuant to any Credit Document or which has been delivered to 

  
 70 












 
such Bank by the Borrower in connection with such Bank’s credit evaluation of the Borrower prior to entering into this Agreement; provided, that any other information relating to the
Borrower, HMC or any Subsidiary which was delivered by any such Person to any Bank on a confidential basis and which is identified as confidential may not be disclosed to any Transferee which is not an Affiliate of the transferor Bank without the
prior consent of the Borrower (which may not be unreasonably withheld). Each Bank agrees to, and agrees to cause its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers, directors, counsel (including outside counsel), accountants (including
independent auditors) and any other advisors referred to in clause (i)(x) below to agree to (i) maintain the confidentiality of all such information delivered to it by the Borrower, HMC or any Subsidiary in accordance with its customary
practices regarding such information on substantially the terms of the confidentiality obligations binding on such Bank under this paragraph (d), provided, that any Bank may disclose any information in its possession (x) to any of its
Affiliates or its and their respective employees, officers, directors, counsel (including outside counsel), accountants (including independent auditors), and any other advisors on a
need-to-know basis, (y) pursuant to any legal process or any request by any Governmental Authority or regulatory agency having jurisdiction over such Bank or its
Affiliates, or (z) as may be required to defend against or prosecute any claim in connection with this Agreement or any transaction hereunder, and (ii) not deliver any such information to a Transferee, unless such Transferee agrees, in
writing to maintain such confidentiality. In addition, the Banks may disclose the existence of this Agreement and non-confidential information about this Agreement and the Credit Documents to market data
collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Banks in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, and the Commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
any Credit Document, the parties (and each employee, representative, or other agent of the parties) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and any facts that may be relevant to the tax structure of the
transaction, provided, however, that no party (and no employee, representative, or other agent thereof) shall disclose any other information that is not relevant to understanding the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions
contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the identity of any party and any information that could lead another to determine the identity of any party), or any other information to the extent that such disclosure could result in a violation of
any federal or state securities law. 
 (e) Assignments to Federal Reserve Banks or Central Banks. Notwithstanding any other language
in this Agreement, any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank or Governmental Authority having authority over such Bank as collateral in
accordance with Regulation A and the applicable operating circular of such Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank or Governmental Authority having authority over such Bank. 

(f) Assignments to SPCs. Notwithstanding any other language in this Agreement, any Bank (a “Granting Bank”) may grant
to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”) of such Granting Bank, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Bank to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, 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 Section 2.1 or 2.3, 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 

  
 71 












 
or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan or fund any other obligation required to be funded by it hereunder, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Loan or fund such
obligation pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall satisfy the obligation of the Granting Bank to make Loans to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by the Granting Bank. 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, the related Granting Bank makes such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto
hereby agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding 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 connection with any obligations of any such SPC under the Credit Documents. Each Bank designating
any SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such SPC during such period of forbearance. Such
indemnity shall survive the repayment of all obligations under the Credit Documents and the termination of the Commitments. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.5(f) any SPC
may with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign as collateral security all or a portion of its right to payment of any Loan to its Granting
Bank or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such SPC to fund the Loans made by such SPC or to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Loans. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower agrees that it will not use the proceeds of any Loan made by a Bank which is funded through an SPC to be used to purchase or carry Margin Stock if such Bank (i) notifies the Borrower that its Loan
will be funded through an SPC and (ii) requests the Borrower prior to the Effective Date not to use the proceeds of its Loan for such purpose. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary other than
Section 6.7, (i) no additional costs shall be incurred by or assessed to the Borrower as a result of any Loan made by an SPC hereunder, (ii) the Borrower shall not be responsible for any increased costs of any SPC or
provider of credit or liquidity support in connection therewith or for any dealer or other fees and (iii) no SPC, liquidity or credit provider or other Person shall be entitled to exercise or control any consent or voting rights of the related
Granting Bank hereunder. 
 13.6 Survival. The obligations of the Borrower with respect to Sections 6.1, 6.5,
6.7 and 13.3 hereof shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments, the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank. 

13.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and
the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or (with the exception of any Note for which a Bank has requested
delivery of a manually executed original) of any other Credit Document, certificate, notice or other communication by telecopier or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof. The words
“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import herein shall be deemed to include electronic 

  
 72 












 
signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent and digital copies of a signatory’s manual
signature, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the
Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

13.8 Severability; Headings Descriptive. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the Notes shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
The headings of the several Sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. 

13.9 Domicile of Loans. Each Bank may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any branch office, subsidiary or
Affiliate of such Bank. 
 13.10 Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by the Borrower or any other Person against any Agent
or any Bank or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising
out of or related to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether
or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 
 13.11 Treatment of Certain Information. The Borrower
(a) acknowledges that services may be offered or provided to it (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by each Bank or by one or more of their respective subsidiaries or Affiliates and (b) acknowledges that information delivered
to each Bank by the Borrower may be provided to each such subsidiary and Affiliate. 
 13.12 Usury. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to the extent that receipt thereof would be contrary to provisions of law
applicable to a Bank or SPC limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by such Bank. 
 13.13 Submission to
Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Venue. Each of the parties hereto hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York
City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the parties hereto hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such courts lack jurisdiction over such
party, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any Note brought in any of the aforesaid courts, that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such party. Each of the


  
 73 












 
parties hereto irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party, at
its address for notices referred to in Section 13.2, such service to become effective 10 days after such mailing. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further
irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder or under any Note that service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the other Agents, or any Bank to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party hereto in any other jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has
been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 13.14 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 13.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND
ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

13.16 The Patriot Act. Each Bank subject to the USA PATRIOT ACT (Title 111 of Pub. L. 107-56
(signed into law October 26, 2001, as amended)) (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the
Borrower and the other Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Borrower and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act. 

13.17 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Bank that is an Affected Financial Institution
arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, 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 Bank 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; 

  
 74 












 (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 undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by
it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit 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. 

13.18 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. (a) To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a
guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract 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 Credit 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):  

(b) 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 Credit 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 Credit 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 Bank shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. 

(c) As used in this Section 13.18, the following terms have the following meanings: 

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted
in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party. 
 “Covered Entity” means any of the following:
(i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §
47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). 

  
 75 












 “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in,
and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. 

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

  
 76 












 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of
