    364-DAY CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of July 18, 2019, among INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION, a New York corporation (“IBM”),






      and its Subsidiary IBM CREDIT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“IBMCLLC”)  (each individually, a “Borrower”, and together, the “Borrowers”), the several banks and other financial institutions from time to time parties to this Agreement (the “Lenders”), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders
      hereunder (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), BNP PARIBAS, CITIBANK, N.A., ROYAL BANK OF CANADA, and MIZUHO BANK, LTD., as syndication agents (in such capacity, the “Syndication Agents”) and  BARCLAYS BANK PLC, BANCO SANTANDER, S.A., BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., DEUTSCHE BANK SECURITIES INC., HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, SOCIETE GENERALE,  and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as
      documentation agents (in such capacity, the “Documentation Agents”).

    

    

    The parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

    

    

    SECTION 1.          DEFINITIONS

    

    

    1.1          Defined Terms.  As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have
        the following meanings:

    

    

    “1985 Indenture”:  the Indenture, dated as of July 15, 1985, between IBM and The Bank of New York (successor to
      Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York), as Trustee.

    

    

    “1990 Indenture”:  the Indenture, dated as of March 1, 1990, between IBM and The Bank of New York, as Trustee.

    

    

    “ABR”:  for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the
      greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the NYFRB Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1% and (c) the Eurodollar Rate that would be calculated as of such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, as of the next preceding
      Business Day) in respect of a proposed Eurodollar Loan with a one-month Interest Period plus 1.0%.  For purposes hereof:  “Prime Rate” shall mean the rate of interest per annum last quoted by The Wall
      Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the U.S. or, if The Wall Street Journal ceases to quote such rate, the highest per annum interest rate published by the Federal Reserve Board in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (Selected Interest
      Rates) as the “bank prime loan” rate or, if such rate is no longer quoted therein, any similar rate quoted therein (as determined by the Administrative Agent) or any similar release by the Federal Reserve Board (as determined by the Administrative
      Agent). Each change in the Prime Rate shall be effective from and including the date such change is publicly announced or quoted as being effective. If for any reason the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be
      conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the NYFRB Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms thereof, the ABR shall be
      determined without regard to clause (b) of the first sentence of this definition until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the ABR due to a change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or such Eurodollar Rate
      shall be effective on the effective day of such change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or such Eurodollar Rate, respectively. If the ABR is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof, then the ABR shall be the
      greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above. For the avoidance of doubt, if the ABR as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

    

    

    “ABR Loans”:  Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the ABR.

    

    

    
      
        


      2

    

    

    

    

    

    “Act”:  as defined in Section 11.24.

    

    

    “Affiliate”:  as to any Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly, is in control of, is controlled by,
      or is under common control with, such Person.  For purposes of this definition, “control” of a Person means the power, directly or indirectly, either to (a) vote 25% or more of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors
      (or persons performing similar functions) of such Person or (b) direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether by contract or otherwise.

    

    

    “Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit”:  as to any Lender at any time, the aggregate Dollar Amount
      of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender then outstanding.

    

    

    “Agreement”:  this Credit Agreement, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

    

    

    “Anti-Corruption Laws”:  all laws, rules and regulations of any jurisdiction applicable to the Borrower or its
      Subsidiaries from time to time concerning or relating to bribery or corruption.

    

    

    “Applicable Margin”:  on any date, with respect to (a) any Eurodollar Loan, a rate per annum equal to the Credit
      Default Swap Spread applicable to the relevant Borrower in effect for Eurodollar Loans on such date, (b) any EURIBOR Loan, a rate per annum equal to the Credit Default Swap Spread applicable to the relevant Borrower in effect for EURIBOR Loans on
      such date or (c) any ABR Loan, a rate per annum equal to the Credit Default Swap Spread applicable to the relevant Borrower in effect for ABR Loans on such date less 1% per annum (but not less than 0%).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the
      non-default Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans and EURIBOR Loans in effect at any time shall not be less than 0.10%, and shall not exceed 0.75% (the “Maximum Applicable Margin”) and (y) the non-default
      Applicable Margin for ABR Loans in effect at any time shall be 0.00%.

    

    

    If at any time (i) the Credit Default Swap Spread applicable to IBMCLLC is unavailable and (ii) IBMCLLC’s long term senior unsecured debt rating, for debt
      that has the benefit of support arrangements from IBM comparable to those provided for in the Support Agreement but is not guaranteed by any other Person or subject to any other credit enhancement, by each of S&P and Moody’s are equal to or
      higher than those of IBM at such time, the Credit Default Swap Spread of IBMCLLC shall be deemed to be the Credit Default Swap Spread applicable to IBM at such time.  If at any time the Credit Default Swap Spread applicable to IBM or IBMCLLC
      (subject, in the case of IBMCLLC, to the immediately preceding sentence) is unavailable, IBM and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith (for a period of up to thirty days after the Credit Default Swap Spread becomes unavailable (such thirty-day
      period, the “Negotiation Period”)) to agree on an alternative method for establishing the Applicable Margin.  The Applicable Margin at any date of determination thereof which falls during the Negotiation
      Period shall be based upon the then most recently available quote of the Credit Default Swap Spread.  If no such alternative method is agreed upon during the Negotiation Period, the Applicable Margin at any date of determination subsequent to the end
      of the Negotiation Period shall be (x) in the case of ABR Loans, 0.00% and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans, the greater of (i) a rate per annum based upon the then most recently available quote of the Credit Default Swap Spread
      (but in no event (A) greater than 0.75% or (B) less than 0.10%) and (ii) a rate per annum equal to 75% of the Maximum Applicable Margin.

      Attributable Interest Rate) of the obligation of a lessee for rental payments pursuant to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction (reduced by the amount of the rental obligations of any sublessee of all or part of the same property) during the remaining
      term of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction (including any period for which the lease relating thereto has been extended), such rental payments not to include amounts payable by the lessee for maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments
      and similar charges and for contingent rents (such as those based on sales).  In the case of any Sale and Leaseback Transaction in which the lease is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such rental payments shall be considered for
      purposes of this definition to be the lesser of (a) the rental payments to be paid under such Sale and Leaseback Transaction until the first date (after the date of such determination) upon which it may be so terminated plus the then applicable
      penalty upon such termination and (b) the rental payments required to be paid during the remaining term of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction (assuming such termination provision is not exercised).

    

    

    “Attributable Interest Rate”:  as of the date of its determination, the weighted average of the interest rates (or
      the effective rate in the case of original issue discount securities or discount securities) of (a) all Outstanding Securities (as such term is defined in the 1990 Indenture) of IBM under the 1990 Indenture and all securities of IBM issued and
      outstanding (as defined in the 1985 Indenture) under the 1985 Indenture to which Sections 6.05 and 6.06 of the 1985 Indenture apply (and whose application has not been waived), or (b) at any time when no securities of IBM referred to in clause (a) of
      this sentence are outstanding, all outstanding Loans and all other outstanding Funded Debt of IBM and IBMCLLC.

    

    

    “Available Revolving Credit Commitment”:  as to any Lender, at any time of determination, an amount equal to such

      Event shall not result solely by virtue of any ownership interest, or the acquisition of any ownership interest, in such Person by a Governmental Authority or instrumentality thereof, provided, further, that such ownership interest does not result in
      or provide such Person with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the United States or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment on its assets or permit such Person (or

      17

        (i) Eurodollar Loans, (ii) ABR Loans or (iii) a combination thereof, as determined by the relevant Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.3 and (y) denominated in Euros shall be EURIBOR Loans; provided
        that no Revolving Credit Loan shall be made as a Eurodollar Loan or EURIBOR Loan after the day that is one month prior to the Termination Date.

    

    

    2.2          Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing. Each Borrower may borrow under
        the Revolving Credit Commitments during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period on any Business Day; provided that such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative
        Agent prior to (a) 11:00 A.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Revolving Credit Loans are to be initially Eurodollar Loans, (b) 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on
        the requested Borrowing Date if the requested Revolving Credit Loans are to be initially ABR Loans or (c) 11:00 A.M. London time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Revolving Credit Loans
        are to be initially EURIBOR Loans), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iii) whether the borrowing is to be of Eurodollar Loans, EURIBOR Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof and (iv) if the borrowing
        is to be entirely or partly of Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans, the respective amounts of each such Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor.  Each borrowing under the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in a
        minimum aggregate principal amount of the lesser of (i) $50,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or €50,000,000 or a whole multiple of €5,000,000 in excess thereof in the case of EURIBOR Loans) and (ii) the aggregate amount
        of the then Available Revolving Credit Commitments.  Upon receipt of any such notice from any Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the aggregate amount of such borrowing and of the amount of such Lender’s
        Revolving Credit Borrowing Share (if any) thereof.  Each Lender will make the amount of its Revolving Credit Borrowing Share of each such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Borrower at the office of the
        Administrative Agent specified in Section 11.2 prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by such Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent.  Such borrowing will then be made available to the
        relevant Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the
        Administrative Agent.

    

    

    2.3          Conversion and Continuation Options for Revolving Credit Loans.  (a) 
        Each Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans, by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s prior irrevocable notice of such election; provided that if any such conversion of Eurodollar
        Loans is made other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, such Borrower shall pay any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.19 as a result of such conversion.  Each Borrower may elect from time to time to
        convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election.  Any such notice of conversion to Eurodollar Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest
        Period or Interest Periods therefor.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.  All or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein; provided
        that (i) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion that such a conversion
        is not appropriate, (ii) any such conversion may only be made if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.4 shall not have been contravened and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan after the date that is one month prior to the
        Termination Date.

    

    

    
      
        


      20

    

    

    

    

    

    (b)          Any Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans may be continued as such upon the
        expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the relevant Borrower giving at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that, except as set forth in clause (y) of the further proviso below in this
        paragraph, no Eurodollar Loan or EURIBOR Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion that
        such a continuation is not appropriate, (ii) if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.4 would be contravened or (iii) after the date that is one month prior to the Termination Date and provided, further, that if such Borrower
        shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this Section 2.3 or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such (x) Eurodollar Loans shall automatically be converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such
        then expiring Interest Period and (y) EURIBOR Loans shall be continued as EURIBOR Loans with an Interest Period of one month.

    

    

    2.4          Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar and EURIBOR Tranches.

    

    

    All borrowings, optional prepayments, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and EURIBOR Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be
      in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, (a) the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche or EURIBOR Tranche, respectively, shall be
      equal to $50,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or €50,000,000 or a whole multiple of €5,000,000 in excess thereof in the case of EURIBOR Loans) and (b) there shall be no more than 20 Eurodollar Tranches or 20 EURIBOR
      Tranches outstanding at any one time.

    

    

    2.5          [Reserved].

    

    

    2.6          Optional Prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans.

    

    

    Each Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Revolving Credit Loans (subject, in the case of Eurodollar Loans and EURIBOR Loans to compliance with the terms
      of Sections 2.4 and 2.19), in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least one Business Day’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar
      Loans (including the Eurodollar Tranche(s) to which such prepayment is to be applied), EURIBOR Loans (including the EURIBOR Tranche(s) to which such prepayment is to be applied), ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof,
      the amount allocable to each.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.  If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
      specified therein, together with (except in the case of ABR Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.  Partial prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 or a whole multiple of
      $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or €50,000,000 or a whole multiple of €5,000,000 in excess thereof in the case of EURIBOR Loans), or, if less, the remaining outstanding principal amount thereof.

    

    

    2.7          [Reserved].

      21

    

    

    

    

    

    (a)          Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent
        for the account of the relevant Lenders on the Termination Date (or such earlier date as the Revolving Credit Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 2.6 or Section 8), the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made to it
        by each such Lender; provided that, IBM may elect, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Termination Date, that the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Termination Date
        shall be payable on the date which is the first anniversary of the Termination Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2(b) and (c) on the Termination Date (and for the avoidance of doubt, such loans shall be “term
        loans”, and to extent repaid, may not be reborrowed).  Each Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest in immediately available funds at the office of the Administrative Agent on the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans from
        time to time from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.10.

    

    

    (b)          Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or
        accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Revolving Credit Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and
        interest payable and paid to such lending office of such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

    

    

    (c)          The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section
        11.9(a), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made hereunder, the Type of each Revolving Credit Loan made and the Interest Period or
        maturity date (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
        hereunder from each Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

    

    

    (d)          The entries made in the Register and accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs
        (b) and (c) of this Section 2.9 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any
        Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Revolving
        Credit Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

    

    

    2.10          Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

    

    

    (a)          Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest
        Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.  Interest in respect of Eurodollar Loans shall accrue from and including the first day of an Interest
        Period to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period.

    

    

    (b)          Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the
        Applicable Margin.

    

    

    (c)          Each EURIBOR Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period
        with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the EURIBOR Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.  Interest in respect of EURIBOR Loans shall accrue from and including the first day of an Interest Period to but
        excluding the last day of such Interest Period.

    

    

    
      
        


      22

    

    

    

    

    

    (d)          If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest
        payable thereon or (iii) any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the
        case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 plus 2% or (y) in the case of any overdue interest, commitment fee or other amount, the rate described
        in Section 2.10(b) plus 2%, in each case from the date of such non-payment to (but excluding) the date on which such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

    

    

    (e)          Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided
        that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.10(d) shall be payable from time to time on demand.

    

    

    2.11          Fees.  (a)  IBM shall pay or cause IBMCLLC to pay to the Administrative
        Agent, for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee for each day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period.  Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Termination
        Date and shall be computed for each day during such period at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day on the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments in effect on such day.

    

    

    (b)          IBM shall pay or cause IBMCLLC to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own
        account, the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by IBM and IBMCLLC.

    

    

    (c)          IBM shall pay or cause IBMCLLC to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
        account of each Lender, a term-out fee in an amount equal to 0.50% of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender to remain outstanding on and after of the Termination Date to the extent IBM elects to extend the
        Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.9(a), payable on the Termination Date (as in effect prior to such extension).

    

    

    2.12          Computation of Interest and Fees.  (a)  Commitment fees and interest
        (other than interest calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.  Interest calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-,
        as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the relevant Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate or EURIBOR Rate, as applicable.  Any change in
        the interest rate on a Revolving Credit Loan resulting from a change in the ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify
        the relevant Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

    

    

    (b)          Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
        any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.

    

    

    2.13          Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments.  IBM and
        IBMCLLC shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided
        that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any repayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, (a) the aggregate Dollar Amount of the Revolving Credit
        Loans then outstanding would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect or (b) the aggregate Dollar Amount of Revolving Credit Loans made by any Lender then outstanding would

    

    

    
      
        


      23

    

    

    

    

    

    exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.  Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $50,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently
      the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

    

    

    2.14          Inability to Determine Interest Rate.  (a)  If prior to the first day of
        any Interest Period:

    

    

    (i)  the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers) that adequate and reasonable
      means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate or EURIBOR Rate, as applicable (including because the Screen Rate or EURIBOR Screen Rate, as applicable, is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period, or

    

    

    (ii)  the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate or EURIBOR Rate, as applicable, determined or
      to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

    

    

    then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given
      (x) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any EURIBOR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall not be made and (z) any Loans that, on the
      first day of such Interest Period, were to have been converted to or continued as Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as or converted to ABR Loans.  Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans or
      EURIBOR Loans, as applicable, shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

    

    

    (b)          If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
        conclusive absent manifest error and shall be communicated promptly to the Borrowers) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in
        clause (a)(i) have not arisen but either (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate or EURIBOR Screen Rate, as applicable, has made a public statement that the administrator of the Screen Rate or EURIBOR Screen Rate, as applicable,
        is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the Screen Rate or EURIBOR Screen Rate, as applicable), (x) the administrator of the Screen Rate or EURIBOR Screen Rate, as applicable, has made a public
        statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate or EURIBOR Screen Rate, as applicable, will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the
        Screen Rate or EURIBOR Screen Rate, as applicable), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate or EURIBOR Screen Rate, as applicable has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate or EURIBOR
        Screen Rate, as applicable, will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate or EURIBOR Screen Rate, as applicable, or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the
        Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate or EURIBOR Screen Rate, as applicable, may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the
        Borrowers shall endeavor in good faith to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurodollar Rate or EURIBOR Rate, as applicable, that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for
        syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into a mutually satisfactory amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to

    

    

    
      
        


      24

    

    

    

    

    

    this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to such new rate of interest (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the
      Applicable Margin); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section
      11.1, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date the notice of such alternate
      rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.  If an alternate rate of interest is to be established in accordance with this clause (b), then until
      such new rate of interest is established (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.14(b), only to the extent the Screen Rate or EURIBOR Screen Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period
      is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any conversion notice that requests the conversion of any Revolving Credit Loan to, or continuation of any Revolving Credit Loan as, a Eurodollar Loan or EURIBOR Loan, as applicable
      shall be ineffective and (y) if any borrowing request requests a Eurodollar Loan, such borrowing shall be made as an ABR Loan.

    

    

    2.15          Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.  (a)  Each reduction of the Revolving
        Credit Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the Lenders’ respective Commitment Percentages.  Each payment (including each prepayment) by a Borrower on account of principal of and interest on Revolving Credit Loans which
        are ABR Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such ABR Loans then held by the Lenders.  Each payment (including each prepayment) by a Borrower on account of principal of and interest on Eurodollar
        Loans or EURIBOR Loans designated by a Borrower to be applied to a particular Eurodollar Tranche or EURIBOR Tranche, respectively, shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR
        Loans of such Tranche then held by the Lenders.  All payments (including prepayments) to be made by a Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made
        prior to (i) 12:00 Noon, New York City time, in respect of payments of principal or interest relating to Revolving Credit Loans made in the New York Funding Office and (ii) 12:00 Noon, London time, in respect of Revolving Credit Loans made in the
        Euro Funding Office, in each case, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, and (x) in the case of any payment of principal received, in the currency in which such Revolving Credit Loan is denominated, 
        (y) in case of payment of interest, in the same currency as the underlying Revolving Credit Loan from which such interest has accrued, and (z) in the case of payment of fees or otherwise, in Dollars.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute such
        payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.  If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended
        to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.  If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan or EURIBOR Loan becomes due and payable on a
        day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless the
        result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

    

    

    (b)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any
        Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to
        the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on
        the Borrowing Date

    

    

    
      
        


      25

    

    

    

    

    

    therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate (i) in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars, equal to the daily average
      Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent and (ii) in the case of amounts denominated in Euros, determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of
      funding such amount until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.15(b) shall be
      conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled
      to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder, on demand, from the relevant Borrower.

    

    

    (c)          If any Lender shall fail to make any payment
          required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.15(b), 2.18(c) or 9.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent
          for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account
          as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

    

    

    2.16          Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption
        of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such
        Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled, (b) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be
        converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law, and (c) with respect to any outstanding EURIBOR Loans, the applicable
        Borrower shall either (x) repay such EURIBOR Loans (with accrued interest thereon) or (y) elect to convert such EURIBOR Loans into ABR Loans denominated in Dollars based on the current Exchange Rate.

    

    

    2.17          Requirements of Law.  (a)  If the adoption of or any change in any
        Requirement of Law applicable to any Lender or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority
        made subsequent to the Effective Date:

    

    

    (i)          shall subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any
        taxes (other than (A) Non-Excluded Taxes and (B) taxes described in Section 2.18(a)(i) through (iv)) on its Loans, Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

    

    

    (ii)          shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special
        deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which
        is not otherwise included pursuant to Section 2.17(c) in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate or EURIBOR Rate, as the case may be; or

    

    

    (iii)          shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

    

    

    
      
        


      26

    

    

    

    

    

    and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, by an amount which such Lender or the Administrative Agent deems to be material, of
      making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans, (or any Loan in the case of (i)), or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the relevant Borrower shall promptly pay
      such Lender or the Administrative Agent, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.  If any Lender or the Administrative Agent becomes
      entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17(a), it shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

    

    

    (b)          If any Lender shall have determined that any change in any Requirement of Law
        regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital or liquidity adequacy (whether or not
        having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Effective Date, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its
        obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such application or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital or
        liquidity adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the relevant Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, such Borrower shall pay
        to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

    

    

    (c)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules,
        guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case
        pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each
        case be deemed to be a change in Requirements of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

    

    

    (d)          Each Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender which requests compensation under
        this Section 2.17(d) (by notice to such Borrower), on the last day of each Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan or EURIBOR Loan made by such Lender, so long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves against “Eurocurrency
        liabilities” under Regulation D of the Board (or, so long as such Lender may be required by the Board or by any other United States Governmental Authority (or any other Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Lender) to maintain reserves
        against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or against any category of extensions of credit or other
        assets of such Lender which includes any Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans), an additional amount (determined by such Lender and notified to the relevant Borrower) representing such Lender’s calculation or, if an accurate calculation is
        impracticable, reasonable estimate (using such reasonable means of allocation as such Lender shall determine) of the actual costs, if any, incurred by such Lender during such Interest Period, as a result of the applicability of the foregoing
        reserves to such Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans, which amount in any event shall not exceed the product of the following for each day of such Interest Period:

    

    

    (i)          the principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans
        made by such Lender to which such Interest Period relates and outstanding on such day; and

    

    

    
      
        


      27

    

    

    

    

    

    (ii)          the difference between (x) a fraction the numerator of which
        is the Eurodollar Rate (expressed as a decimal) applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or EURIBOR Loan, as applicable, and the denominator of which is one minus the maximum rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are imposed by
        the Board or other United States Governmental Authority (or any other Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Lender) on such date minus (y) such numerator; and

    

    

    (iii)          a fraction the numerator of which is one and the
        denominator of which is 360.

    

    

    Any Lender which gives notice under this Section 2.17(d) shall promptly withdraw such notice (by written notice of withdrawal given to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Borrowers) in
      the event such Lender is no longer required to maintain such reserves or the circumstances giving rise to such notice shall otherwise cease to exist.

    

    

    (e)          A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17
        submitted by any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the relevant Borrower shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for the request for compensation of such additional amounts and the method of computation thereof and shall be
        conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  Subject to the provisions of the next succeeding sentence, the relevant Borrower shall (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.17(d)) pay each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate
        delivered by it within 30 days after receipt thereof.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.17, (i) each Lender shall be entitled to compensation under this Section 2.17 for only such costs as are incurred or reductions as are
        suffered as to which a certificate has been delivered in accordance with the terms of this paragraph (d) within 90 days after such Lender obtained actual knowledge of such costs or reductions and (ii) a Borrower shall not be required to compensate
        a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies such Borrower of the change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s
        intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to in this clause (ii) shall be extended to include the period of
        retroactive effect thereof.  Each Lender agrees to use its best efforts to notify the relevant Borrower as promptly as practicable after obtaining knowledge of any such costs or reductions.  The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section
        2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Revolving Credit Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.17, no Lender shall demand compensation for any
        increased cost or reduction or other amount referred to above if such demand would be arbitrary or exceptional in light of similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements.

    

    

    2.18          Taxes.  (a)  Unless otherwise required by applicable law, all payments
        made by or on account of the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, excluding (i) net income taxes and franchise
        taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) and branch profits taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Transferee (x) as a result of such Administrative Agent, Lender or Transferee being organized under the laws of, or having
        its principal office or, in the case of any Lender, its applicable lending office located in, the jurisdiction imposing such tax (or any political subdivision thereof) or (y) that are Other Connection Taxes, (ii) U.S. Federal withholding taxes
        imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of a Lender with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (x) such Lender acquires such interest in the Loan (other than pursuant to an assignment
        request by a Borrower under Section 11.11) or (y) such Lender changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this

    Section 2.18, amounts with respect to such taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender acquired the applicable interest in a Loan or to such Lender
      immediately before it changed its lending office, (iii) any taxes attributable to a Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of Section 2.18(d), and (iv) any withholding taxes imposed under FATCA.  If any such non-excluded taxes, levies,
      imposts, duties, charges, fees deductions or withholdings imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower under this Agreement (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are
      required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Transferee) hereunder, the amounts so payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or
      such Lender (or Transferee) (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement.  Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by any Borrower, as
      promptly as possible thereafter such Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender (or Transferee), as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Borrower
      showing payment thereof.  If any Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Borrower shall
      indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (or Transferees) for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Transferee) as a result of any such failure.  The obligations
      contained in this Section 2.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.

    

    

    (b)          The Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in
        accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.  The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor,
        for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or required to be withheld or
        deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
        Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall
        be conclusive absent manifest error.

    

    

    (c)          Each Lender shall severally, within 10 days after demand therefor, indemnify (i)
        the Administrative Agent for (A) any taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers
        to do so) and (B) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.6 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (ii) any Borrower for any taxes described in Section 2.18(a)(i) through (iv)
        and attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or any Borrower (as applicable) in connection with this Agreement, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
        not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent
        manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other
        source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (c).

    

    

    (d)          To the extent permitted by law, each Lender (or Transferee) that is a “United
        States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall, on or prior to the date it becomes a

    

    

    
      
        


      29

    

    

    

    

    

    Lender or Transferee, deliver to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or Transferee is exempt from U.S.
      Federal backup withholding tax.  To the extent permitted by law, each Lender (or Transferee) that is not such a “United States person” (such Lender (or Transferee), a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall:

    

    

    (i)          on the date it becomes a Lender or Transferee, deliver to
        each Borrower and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly executed originals of either (w) in the case of Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect
        to payments of “portfolio interest,” Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (together with a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 through E-4, as applicable, representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for
        purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a 10 percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of any Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the
        Code) (a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”)), (x) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI, (y) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership or a
        participating Lender), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Non-U.S. Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required
        information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Non-U.S. Lender on behalf of
        such beneficial owner), or (z) any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the Treasury Regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any
        payments to such Lender, in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement;

    

    

    (ii)          deliver to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent two
        properly completed and duly executed originals of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification described above expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
        most recent form previously delivered by it to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent; and

    

    

    (iii)          obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such
        forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by each Borrower, or the Administrative Agent;

    

    

    except that the forms and certificates described above shall not be required if any change in Requirement of Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be
      required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender (or Transferee) from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender (or Transferee) so advises each Borrower and the Administrative
      Agent.  In addition, if a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those
      contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to IBM and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by IBM or the Administrative
      Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law

    

    

    
      
        


      30

    

    

    

    

    

    (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by IBM or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for any Borrower
      and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for
      purposes of the preceding sentence, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

    

    

    (e)          Each Person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 11.6, or a
        Lender pursuant to Section 11.8, including for this purpose a Lender that arranges a Revolving Credit Loan through or transfers a Revolving Credit Loan to a different branch of such Lender, shall, upon the effectiveness of the related designation
        or transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 2.18, provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which
        the related participation shall have been purchased.

    

    

    (f)          If any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent determines, in its
        sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall promptly notify such Borrower of such refund and shall,
        within 30 days after receipt of such refund, repay the amount of such refund to such Borrower (to the extent of amounts that have been paid by such Borrower under this Section 2.18 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund), net
        of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest actually received from the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority with respect to such
        refund); provided, however, that such Borrower, upon the request of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, agrees to return the amount of such refund (plus interest) to such Lender (or Transferee) or the
        Administrative Agent in the event such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent is required to repay the amount of such refund to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
        this paragraph (f), in no event will any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent be required to pay any amount to a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative
        Agent in a less favorable net after-tax position than the Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This paragraph
        shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Person.

    

    

    2.19          Indemnity.  Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold
        each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in making a borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, or EURIBOR Loans, or in the conversion into Eurodollar Loans or
        continuation of Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans, after such Borrower has given a notice requesting or accepting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment after such
        Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans, EURIBOR Loans, as the case may be, with respect thereto or (d) the conversion of EURIBOR Loans into ABR
        Loans denominated in Dollars in accordance with Section 2.16(c)(y).  Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed,
        converted or continued or converted from a EURIBOR Loan to a ABR Loan, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue or convert from a EURIBOR Loan to a ABR Loan to the last day of the relevant
        Interest Period (or proposed Interest Period) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such

    

    

    
      
        


      31

    

    

    

    

    

    amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market.  The obligations contained in this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
      and the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.

    

    

    2.20          Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender (or Transferee) agrees that, upon
        the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18 with respect to such Lender (or Transferee), it will, if requested by IBM, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender (or
        Transferee)) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such
        Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.20 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender
        (or Transferee) pursuant to Section 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18.

    

    

    2.21          [Reserved].

    

    

    2.22          Defaulting Lenders.

    

    

    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such
      Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

    

    

    (a)          fees shall cease to accrue on the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting
        Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a); and

    

    

    (b)          the Revolving Credit Commitment and Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be
        included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.1); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the
        vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby.

    

    

    2.23          Currency Equivalents.

    

    

    (a)          No later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Calculation Date, the
        Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to Euros.  The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the relevant Calculation Date (a “Reset Date”),






        shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to Section 2.16 or any other provision expressly requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange Rates
        employed in converting any amounts from such Euros to Dollars. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of each determination of an Exchange Rate hereunder.

    

    

    (b)          No later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Reset Date, the
        Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate Dollar Amount of the Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans, as applicable, then outstanding.

    

    

    (c)           If after giving effect to any determination under clause (b) of this Section
        and, in each case, to any borrowings and prepayments or repayments of Loans occurring on the applicable Reset Date, (i) the Dollar Amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Revolving Credit Commitments then
        in effect then the Borrowers shall, within three Business Days

    

    

    
      
        


      32

    

    

    

    

    

    after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, prepay or cause to be prepaid outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, or take other action, to the extent necessary to eliminate any such excess,
      or (ii) the Dollar Amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans exceeds the total Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect for a period of 10 consecutive Business Days, then the relevant Borrower shall, upon three Business Days’ notice thereof
      from the Administrative Agent, so long as such excess continues, prepay or cause to be prepaid outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, or take other action to the extent necessary to eliminate any such excess.

    

    

    SECTION 3.          [RESERVED]

    

    

    SECTION 4.          REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     

      

    To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, each Borrower hereby represents and warrants, to the Administrative
      Agent and each Lender that:

    

    

    4.1          Organization; Powers.  Each of IBM, IBMCLLC and each Significant
        Subsidiary (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business in all material
        respects as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, (c) is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure so to qualify would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a
        Material Adverse Effect, and (d) in the case of each Borrower, has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and each other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby to which it is or will be a
        party and to borrow hereunder.

    

    

    4.2          Authorization.  The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower
        of this Agreement and the borrowings and other transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Transactions”) (a) have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate or other organizational action and,
        if required, stockholder action and (b) will not (i) violate (A) any provision of law, statute, material rule or material regulation, or of the certificate or articles of incorporation or other constitutive documents or by-laws of IBM, IBMCLLC or
        any Significant Subsidiary, (B) any material order of any Governmental Authority or (C) any provision of any material indenture, material agreement or other material instrument to which IBM, IBMCLLC or any Significant Subsidiary is a party or by
        which any of them or any of their property is or may be bound, (ii) be in conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (alone or with notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any such indenture, agreement or other instrument or (iii)
        except as contemplated hereby, result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired by IBM, IBMCLLC or any Significant Subsidiary.

    

    

    4.3          Enforceability.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
        each Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower enforceable against each such Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (a) any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
        reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity.

    

    

    4.4          Governmental Approvals.  No action, consent or approval of, registration
        or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority is or will be required in connection with the Transactions, except (a) such as have been made or obtained and are in full force and effect or as to which the failure to be made or
        obtained or to be in full force and effect would not result, individually or in the

    

    

    
      
        


      33

    

    

    

    

    

    aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect and (b) such periodic and current reports, if any, as (i) are required to disclose the Transactions and (ii) will be filed with the SEC on a timely
      basis.

    

    

    4.5          Financial Statements.  (a)  IBM has heretofore furnished to the Lenders
        its consolidated statement of financial position and related consolidated statements of earnings, cash flows and stockholders’ equity as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, audited by and accompanied by the opinion of
        PricewaterhouseCoopers, independent accountants.  Such financial statements present fairly the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity of IBM and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP.

    

    

    (b)          IBMCLLC has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated statement of
        financial position and related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in members’ interest as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, audited by and accompanied by the opinion of
        PricewaterhouseCoopers, independent accountants.  Such financial statements present fairly the financial position, earnings, income, cash flows and changes in member’s interest of IBMCLLC in accordance with GAAP.

    

    

    4.6          No Material Adverse Change.  Except as publicly disclosed in filings by
        IBM or IBMCLLC with the SEC prior to the Effective Date, between December 31, 2018 and the Effective Date, there has been no development or event which has had a Material Adverse Effect.

    

    

    4.7          No Material Litigation, etc.  (a)  Except as set forth in the Form 10-K
        of IBM for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, the Form 10-Q of IBM for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Form 10-K of IBMCLLC for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 or the Form 10-Q of IBMCLLC for the fiscal quarter ended
        March 31, 2019, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of IBM, threatened by or against IBM or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or their
        respective properties, assets or revenues as of the Effective Date (i) with respect to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, or (ii) which involves a probable risk of an adverse decision which would materially restrict the ability of IBM to
        comply with its obligations under this Agreement.

    

    

    (b)          None of IBM, IBMCLLC or the Significant Subsidiaries is in violation of any law,
        rule or regulation, or in default with respect to any order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, where such violation or default has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the
        aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.

    

    

    4.8          Federal Reserve Regulations.  (a)  No Borrower is engaged principally, or
        as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock.

    

    

    (b)          No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or
        indirectly, for any purpose which entails a violation of, or which is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X.

    

    

    (c)          After giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Loan, not more
        than 25% of the value of the assets of either Borrower and its Subsidiaries (as determined in good faith by IBM) subject to the provisions of Section 7.1 will consist of or be represented by Margin Stock.  In the event any portion of the Loans made
        to any Borrower constitutes a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U and the Loans are directly or indirectly secured by any Margin Stock pursuant to the operation of Section 7.1, then, at the time of any borrowing which increases the
        outstanding amount of Loans, the aggregate “maximum loan value” (within the meaning of Regulation U) of all Margin Stock

    

    

    
      
        


      34

    

    

    

    

    

    and all collateral other than Margin Stock which directly or indirectly secures the Loans will be greater than the aggregate principal amount of Loans and other extensions of credit to all
      Borrowers (whether made by the Lenders or other Persons) which are subject to Regulation T, U or X and which are directly or indirectly secured by such Margin Stock or other collateral.

    

    

    4.9          Investment Company Act, etc.  No Borrower is (a) an “investment company”
        as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940 or (b) subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act or (except as contemplated by Section 4.8) any foreign, federal, state or local statute or regulation
        limiting such Borrower’s ability to incur Borrower Obligations.

    

    

    4.10          Tax Returns.  Each of IBM, IBMCLLC and the Significant Subsidiaries has
        filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and local tax returns required to have been filed by it and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments received by it except taxes,
        assessments, fees, liabilities, penalties or charges that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which IBM, IBMCLLC or the Significant Subsidiaries shall have set aside on its books reserves in accordance with GAAP.

    

    

    4.11          No Material Misstatements.  The written information, reports, financial
        statements, exhibits and schedules furnished by or on behalf of any Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions or included herein or delivered pursuant hereto, taken as a whole, do not
        contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

    

    

    4.12          ERISA.  Each Borrower is in compliance with all material provisions of
        ERISA, except to the extent that all failures to be in compliance could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

    

    

    4.13          Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of all Revolving Credit Loans will be
        used by the Borrowers for general corporate purposes.

    

    

    4.14          Anti-corruption Laws.  The Borrowers have implemented and maintain in

    9.2          Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its
        duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys‐in‐fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct
        of any agents or attorneys in‐fact selected by it with reasonable care.

    

    

    9.3          Exculpatory Provisions.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its
        officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‐in‐fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement (except for its or such Person’s own
        gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or in any
        certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or
        sufficiency of this Agreement or for any failure of any Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
        performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower.

    

    

    9.4          Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be
        entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be
        genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any

    

    

    
      
        


      42

    

    

    

    

    

    Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any
      amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
      refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be, as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the
      Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under
      this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, or all Lenders, as the case may be, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the
      obligations owing by any Borrower hereunder.

    

    

    9.5          Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
        knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating
        that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect
        to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
        take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

    

    

    9.6          Non‐Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender
        expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‐in‐fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent
        hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has,
        independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
        financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and made its own decision to make its Loans and enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
        Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make
        such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be
        furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition
        (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Borrower which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‐in‐fact or affiliates.

    

    

    9.7          Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent
        in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is
        sought under this Section 9.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have terminated and the Revolving Credit Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their
        Commitment Percentages immediately prior

    

    

    
      
        


      43

    

    

    

    

    

    to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at
      any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the amounts owing hereunder) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any
      documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that (a) no Lender
      shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative
      Agent and (b) in the event that the Administrative Agent is reimbursed by any Borrower for any amount paid to it by the Lenders pursuant to this Section 9.7, the amount of such reimbursement shall in turn be paid over to the Lenders on a ratable
      basis.  The agreements in this Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

    

    

    9.8          Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity.  Each of the
        Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.  With respect to its
        Loans made or renewed by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

    

    

    9.9          Successor Administrative Agent.  Subject to the appointment and
        acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent at any time by giving notice to the Lenders, IBM and IBMCLLC.  If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative
        Agent under this Agreement, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be subject to the approval of IBM and IBMCLLC (which approval
        shall not be unreasonably withheld).  If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent shall have given notice of its resignation,
        then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be subject to the approval of IBM and IBMCLLC (which approval shall
        not be unreasonably withheld).  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a permitted successor, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and
        the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative
        Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the obligations owing hereunder.  After any retiring Administrative
        Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

    

    

    9.10          Syndication and Documentation Agents.  The Syndication Agents and the
        Documentation Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

    11.1          Amendments and Waivers.  Subject to Section 2.14(b), neither this
        Agreement nor any terms hereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.1.  The Required Lenders may, or, upon receipt of written consent of the Required Lenders to all terms thereof, the
        Administrative Agent may, from time to time, (a) enter into with the Borrowers written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or
        of the Borrowers hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or any Default or
        Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Revolving Credit Loan, or reduce the stated
        rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, in each case without the consent of

    

    

    
      
        


      46

    

    

    

    

    

    each Lender directly affected thereby, or (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.1 or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, or consent to
      the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all the Lenders, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the written consent of
      the then Administrative Agent, or (iv) except in connection with the establishment of any new tranche of Commitments or Loans hereunder, change Sections 2.15(a) and 11.12(a) in a manner that would alter the pro rata distribution or sharing of
      payments, or the funding of Loans, required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby.  Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be
      binding upon the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the obligations owing hereunder.  In the case of any waiver, the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former

      inconsistency, it being agreed the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders at least five Business Days’ prior written notice of such amendment, and any such amendment shall be deemed approved by the Lenders unless the Administrative Agent

      this Section 11.5 (other than Section 11.5(c)) shall require IBM or IBMCLLC to pay any taxes of any indemnified person or any Transferee or any indemnity with respect thereto.  No indemnified person or IBM or IBMCLLC shall be liable for any damages
      arising from the use by unauthorized persons of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons.  No indemnified person shall be liable for any
      special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with this Agreement.  The agreements in this Section 11.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.

    

    

    11.6          Participations.  Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business
        and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Revolving Credit Loan owing
        to such Lender, any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder.  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement
        to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such obligation owing to it hereunder for all purposes under this
        Agreement, and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  In no event shall any Participant under any such
        participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal
        of, or interest on, the Revolving Credit Loans or any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the Revolving Credit Loans, in each case to the extent subject to such participation.  Each Borrower agrees that, while an
        Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant
        shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement,
        provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 11.12 as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder.  Each Borrower also
        agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 2.19 with respect to its participation in the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a
        Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.18, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount
        pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.  Each Lender that
        sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a

    

    

    
      
        


      49

    

    

    

    

    

    register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this
      Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any
      Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan 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 Lender 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.

    

    

    11.7          [Reserved].

    

    

    11.8          Assignments.  (a)  any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its
        business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any affiliate of such Lender or, with the consent of IBM, IBMCLLC and the Administrative Agent (which consent in each case shall not be unreasonably
        withheld or delayed, and, in the case of IBM or IBMCLLC, shall be deemed to have been given unless IBM or IBMCLLC shall object to such assignment by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice
        thereof), to any other Lender or to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity other than a Borrower, an Affiliate of a Borrower or a natural person (each, a “Purchasing Lender”) all or any
        part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, substantially in the form of Exhibit B, executed by such Purchasing Lender and such assigning Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing Lender that is
        not an affiliate of the relevant assigning Lender, by IBM, IBMCLLC and the Administrative Agent) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register, provided, that except in the case of an assignment of all
        of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Assumption with
        respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 or such lesser amount as may be consented to by IBM, IBMCLLC and the Administrative Agent.  Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective
        date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (x) the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a
        Revolving Credit Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
        Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

    

    

    (b)          Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender
        and a Purchasing Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing Lender that is not an affiliate of the relevant assigning Lender, by IBM, IBMCLLC and the Administrative Agent) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and
        processing fee of $3,500 (which shall not be payable by any Borrower), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained
        therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders, IBM and IBMCLLC.

    

    

    11.9          The Register; Disclosure; Pledges to Federal Reserve Banks.  (a)  The
        Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.2 a copy of each Assignment

    

    

    
      
        


      50

    

    

    

    

    

    and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Revolving Credit
      Commitments of the Lenders, and the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans owing to each Lender from time to time.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent
      and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Revolving Credit Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers at any
      reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

    

    

    (b)          Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or
        Purchasing Lender (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee, subject to the provisions of Section 11.21 (whether or not, in the case of any Person that is a prospective Transferee, such Person in
        fact becomes a Transferee), any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrowers and their respective affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or
        which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrowers and their respective affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

    

    

    (c)          Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning all or any
        portion of its Loans to any Federal Reserve Bank or central bank in accordance with applicable law, provided, that in the case of any such pledge or assignment to a central bank, no Borrower will be responsible for the payment of any fees,
        expenses, duties, imposts, taxes or other amounts in connection therewith.  In order to facilitate such pledge or assignment, each Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after such Borrower has
        made its initial borrowing hereunder, such Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at such Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit C, evidencing the Revolving Credit Loans, owing to such Lender.

    

    

    11.10          [Reserved].

    

    

    11.11          Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.  IBM and IBMCLLC
        shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) requests reimbursement pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18, (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.16 and as a result thereof any of the actions described in said Section is required to
        be taken, (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (d) fails to consent to any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof that requires the unanimous approval of all of the Lenders, the approval
        of all of the Lenders affected thereby or the approval of a class of Lenders, in each case in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1, so long as the consent of the Required Lenders shall have been obtained with respect to such amendment,
        modification, termination, waiver or consent, with a replacement bank or other financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
        at the time of such replacement, (iii) IBM and IBMCLLC shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) IBM and IBMCLLC
        shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.19 if any Eurodollar Loan or EURIBOR Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement
        bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with
        the provisions of Section 11.8 (provided that IBM and IBMCLLC shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, IBM and IBMCLLC shall pay all
        additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18, as the case may be, and

    

    

    
      
        


      51

    

    

    

    

    

    (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which IBM, IBMCLLC, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

    

    

    11.12          Adjustments; Set-off.  (a)  If any Lender (a “benefitted Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Revolving Credit Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set‐off, pursuant
        to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f) or (g), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans
        that are then due and payable, or interest thereon, such benefitted Lender shall purchase at par for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan, or shall provide such other
        Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided,
        however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without
        interest.

    

    

    (b)          In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each
        Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Borrower hereunder (whether at the
        stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set‐off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims,
        in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the relevant Borrower.  Each
        Lender agrees promptly to notify IBM, IBMCLLC and the Administrative Agent after any such set‐off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set‐off and
        application.

    

    

    11.13          Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the
        parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by email or telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed
        by all the parties shall be lodged with IBM and the Administrative Agent.

    

    

    11.14          Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
        unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
        jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

    

    

    11.15          Integration.  This Agreement represents the agreement of the Borrowers,
        the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set
        forth or referred to herein.

    11.17          Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers.  Each Borrower hereby irrevocably
        and unconditionally:

    

    

    (a)          submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating
        to this Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any
        thereof, or, to the extent such courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the Courts of the State of New York, in each case located in the County of New York;

    

    

    (b)          consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and
        waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

    

    

    (c)          agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected
        by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its address referred to in Section 11.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall
        have been notified pursuant thereto;

    

    

    (d)          agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process
        in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

    

    

    (e)          waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to
        claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

    

    

    11.18          Judgment Related to Borrowings.

    

    

    (a)          If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to
        convert a sum owing hereunder by any Borrower to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations of such Borrower hereunder into another currency, such Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of
        exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction such party or holder could purchase Dollars with such other currency for Dollars on the Banking Day immediately preceding the day on
        which final judgment is given.

    

    

    (b)          The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any  party hereto
        or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than
        Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Banking Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in
        the relevant jurisdiction purchase Dollars with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in Dollars, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and
        notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss, provided, that if the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor, the Applicable Creditor agrees to remit such
        excess to such Borrower. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 11.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

    

    

    11.19          Acknowledgements.  Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

    (b)          neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship
        with or duty to any Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, and the relationship between Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that
        of debtor and creditor; and

    

    

    (c)          no joint venture is created hereby or otherwise exists by virtue of the
        transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrowers and the Lenders.

    

    

    11.20          WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
          CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

    

    

    11.21          Confidentiality.  Each Lender agrees to keep confidential any written
        or oral information (a) provided to it by or on behalf of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or (b) obtained by such Lender based on a review of the books and records of any Borrower or any of
        its Subsidiaries; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing any such information (i) to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (ii) to any Transferee or prospective Transferee or any swap counterparty so long as
        delivery of such information is made subject to the requirement that such information be kept confidential in the manner contemplated by this Section 11.21, (iii) to its employees or affiliates involved in the administration of this Agreement,
        directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors (each of which shall be instructed to hold the same in confidence), (iv) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Lender, (v) in
        response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (vi) which has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Agreement, (vii) in connection with the
        exercise of any remedy hereunder, (viii) to any credit insurance provider relating to any Borrower and its obligations or any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such credit insurance provider or rating agency
        shall agree in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrowers received by it, (ix) to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers
        with respect to the Loans, provided that, prior to any disclosure, the CUSIP Service Bureau or such similar agency shall agree in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrowers received by it, or
        (x) if IBM has consented to such disclosure in writing in its sole discretion.  It is understood and agreed that IBM, IBMCLLC, their Subsidiaries and their respective affiliates may rely upon this Section 11.21 for any purpose, including without
        limitation to comply with Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC.

    

    

    11.22          Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
        benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future permitted holders of the obligations hereunder and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or
        obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.

    

    

    11.23          Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments.  (a)  IBM, IBMCLLC and any
        one or more Lenders (including New Lenders) may from time to time agree that such Lenders shall provide incremental Revolving Credit Commitments by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent one

    

    

    
      
        


      54

    

    

    

    

    

    or more Incremental Commitment Supplements or, in the case of New Lenders, New Lender Supplements.

    

    

    (b)          Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which is not already
        a Lender, with the consent of IBM, IBMCLLC and the Administrative Agent (which consent, in the case of the Administrative Agent, shall not be unreasonably withheld), can elect to become a party to this Agreement and obtain a Revolving Credit
        Commitment; such party shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender Supplement”) with IBM, IBMCLLC and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1, whereupon such bank,
        financial institution or other entity (herein called a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the
        benefits of this Agreement.

    

    

    (c)          Any Lender (other than any New Lender) which agrees to provide an incremental
        Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 11.23 shall execute an Incremental Commitment Supplement (each, an “Incremental Commitment Supplement”) with IBM, IBMCLLC and the Administrative Agent,
        substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2, whereupon such Lender shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the incremental Revolving Credit Commitment specified therein, and Schedule 1.1 shall be deemed to be
        amended to reflect such incremental Revolving Credit Commitment.

    

    

    (d)          If, on the date upon which any Lender (including any New Lender) provides an
        incremental Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 11.23, there is an unpaid principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans, IBM and IBMCLLC shall borrow Revolving Credit Loans from such Lender in an amount determined by reference to the
        amount of each Type of Revolving Credit Loan (and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans, of each Eurodollar Tranche or EURIBOR Tranche, respectively) which would then have been outstanding from such Lender if (i) each such Type or
        Eurodollar Tranche had been borrowed on the date such Lender’s incremental Revolving Credit Commitment was provided, in each case after giving effect thereto and (ii) the aggregate amount of each such Type or Eurodollar Tranche or EURIBOR Tranche
        requested to be so borrowed had been increased to the extent necessary to give effect, with respect to such Lender, to the borrowing allocation provisions of Section 2.2.  Any Eurodollar Loan or EURIBOR Loan borrowed pursuant to the preceding
        sentence shall bear interest at a rate equal to the respective interest rates then applicable to the Eurodollar Loans or EURIBOR Loans, as applicable, of the other Lenders in the same Eurodollar Tranche or EURIBOR Tranche, as applicable.

    

    

    (e)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.23, (i) the
        aggregate amount of incremental Revolving Credit Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 11.23 shall not exceed $500,000,000 and (ii) no Lender shall have any obligation to provide an incremental Revolving Credit Commitment unless it agrees
        to do so in its sole discretion.

    

    

    11.24          USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that
        pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the
        Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.

    

    

    11.25          No Fiduciary Duty, etc.

    

    

    (a)          Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) no fiduciary, advisory or agency
